BART diaries, commute edition: guy in worn out nanopuff squeezes out at Macarthur on a packed Richmond bound train asking “which way’s the ocean?” My dude you are a far way away from the ocean

Still coming to terms with not being able to work like I’m 29 and childless still.

I will die on this hill

We figured out how to store a bakfiet (an additional bike shed), so if you have one and love it please tell me all about it.

I’m drinking a shiner bc Texas

We’re stuck in Houston for 24 hours send tips

I’ve never used instacart before but here I am instacarting diapers from the Houston airport hotel restaurant while B puts baby V to sleep.

I’ve been having technical problems with my phone that are too boring to even talk about but the side effect is that I’ll go a full day without really looking at it and not really know what’s going on in the world. So uh.

My current food explorations are “what can I make in under an hour including walking to Berkeley bowl and back and shopping”

Tonight:
Mapo tofu
Steamed broccoli (microwave)
Rice in rice cooker

It’s Fat Tuesday, lunar new year and first day of Ramadan. I hope somewhere there’s somebody delighted about all 3!

I don’t go down there very often, for one it’s kinda far and for two, Berkeley bowl has like 90% of my Chinese groceries

Went to get a duck in oakland chinatown and was surprised that everyone was speaking mandarin. I gave up ordering in mandarin In sf years ago since English was just as good for the canto speakers

reminds me of a friend who explained why recent years have felt so weird to so many millennials here and it’s because “we went into the pandemic young people and came out of it old”

Tbh I thought ICEblock was performative nonsense but if the doj is pressuring Apple to remove it from the App Store I guess it wasn’t?

ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ Apple removed ICEBlock reportedly after direct pressure from Department of Justice officials. “I am incredibly disappointed by Apple's actions today. Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never t...

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff

lol agreed

996 sounds better in Chinese

how *would* you explain this. "imagine if the only company making serious investments in JavaScript was, like, Mailchimp, and the language's only killer app/framework was written by JK Rowling, whose own business was utterly insignificant"

“We’re just standing around the sink eating green beans from the colander, this is a new level for us”

“You mean…low?”

“I didn’t want to say new low but yeah.”

Baby led weaning is a scam by people who like eating cold eggs.

Riddle me this!!! You make an egg to share with your baby either YOU eat it cold or THEY eat BY THEMSELVES.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

Baby led weaning is a scam by people who don’t like salad

I grew up in the South so I have heard from many a white person argue passionately that they don’t care what somebody says they just care how they say it. It took leaving the South to realize this meant that they didn’t care what somebody said as long as they were also white or agreed with them.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

"There no more water in Marin!" (because we use it all watering the lawns).

Maybe my problem is that I want to work in person in the Bay Area with the kind of person who lives in nyc

Found a late season volunteer sungold in a corner of my garden (probably from seeds that dropped last year - volunteer tomatoes tend to not start really fruiting until now bc they don’t germinate until it gets warmer) and I decided to lovingly stake and water and fertilize it for a few weeks.

“Dress for the job you want”

So how do I dress like somebody who never has to wrestle with bazel.

My brain hurts

Before having a child I never would’ve guessed how much money I would be willing to spend on (colorful, cute) baby clothes
