I’m 60% sure my oldest daughter told her little sister to “Stop dickin’ around” but that’s not enough confidence to talk to her about it without accidentally teaching her to say “Stop dickin’ around”

A Christmas Carol is a story about how children suffer and die from treatable illnesses because the wealthy choose to keep them in poverty. It also correctly notes that the only thing a rich bastard fears is the inevitably of death. It even has Muppets in it. Truly Dickens' most timeless work.

I use a “Heard Chef” emoji liberally at work. It’s the perfect acknowledgement without an implicit agreement. I would love to have something like it available outside of slack.

[Eating dinner and looking out the window at the winter decorations] Me: Melody, what do think of the lights? Melody (3 year old): I love them! Me: Did you see me put them up? Melody: Yes! Do you know who didn’t put them up? Me: Who? Melody: (pointing at herself) ME!!!!!

Having a partner who is also a game developer is awesome for so many reasons, but I never imagined that #Playdate (and frogs) would play a part in our engagement story. Needless to say, I said yes, and Paco & Lily is now available for free on itch for you to play too! 🥰 tkers.itch.io/paco-and-lily

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane. Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

This is what it’s like growing up in rural America, and it’s probably the source of a lot of our problems.
