My Favorite Candy

I love gummies, I am a huge sucker for tiny versions of regular things, and I am delighted by novelty. Other candies never stood a chance.

They used to be sold in the US under the Wonka brand, but for some reason they were discontinued here. Now I have to have them shipped from the UK to get my fix…

Get Enough Sleep

I’m talking to you, whoever’s reading this right now, but I’m especially talking to you if the person reading this right now is me.

(Oh, and if you are me: don’t forget to shave! I don’t know why it helps so much, but it always does.)

More Married Life

Since I’m not on social media much anymore, my spouse curates and sends me all the best memes they see. I got this one on Valentine’s Day:

Damn You, Sans

Just when I’m starting to think Sans might actually be a normal(-ish) character in this game, he has to go and pull this sh*t:

You just can’t pass up an opportunity for a good prank, can you? Even if it means breaking space and time to do it.

Practice Radical Kindness and Senseless Acts of Joy

Because there is no act more courageous, nor weapon more powerful, nor philosophy more brazen, than that of loving fully.

I am so glad you’re here.

Don’t Feed After Midnight, Don’t Wake Before Noon

Since I’m not on social media much anymore, my spouse likes to curate memes and send them to me. They’re always good, but I particularly enjoy the ones they personalize…

Dream Suite

I’ve been remembering more of my dreams lately, probably because I’ve been making more of an effort to get to bed before two in the morning. I know this wouldn’t be good news for everybody (I mean the dream part, not the 2am part), but I really love my dreams, especially the weird ones.

For example, the other night–well, you know those frogs that carry their babies around in their mouths?1 I dreamed I had one of those living in my mouth. Like…mouth-ception. (Frog-ception?)

Which sounds horrific, but in the dream it seemed kind of cute? It wasn’t uncomfortable or anything (I didn’t even realize they were there until I looked at myself in a mirror), so the most stressful part of the dream was worrying about accidentally swallowing one of the babies.

…Still wanted them to move out, though.


  1. Okay, so there’s actually only one species of frog that does this, and it doesn’t look anything like the one from my dream. In my defense, it’s hard to fact-check yourself when you don’t have internet access and also you’re unconscious. ↩︎

What If

Can you imagine if Dr. Seuss had been a political cartoonist during WWII? Don’t you wish you could see what those cartoons might have looked like? Well, I have good news:

HE WAS ACTUALLY A POLITICAL CARTOONIST DURING WWII

Autocorrect: Still Better Than the Alternative, Usually, I Guess

My daughter asked me when the first day of spring is, so I did a search for it:

Not my finest moment, linguistically speaking

P.S. stop using Google and switch to DuckDuckGo. With all the AI slop and deceptive ads and algorithmic tweaking Google’s added, their results are actually worse now. There is literally no reason not to switch.

STOP THIS

This is a real website, guys. This is actually happening.

The front page of rentahuman.ai, with the tagline "the meatspace layer for ai" and title "robots need your body." Below the title are two buttons that say "become rentable" and "browse humans."
