The blueberry recall is most upsetting because I've never met a toddler who didn't double fist those berries. Good luck to all the parents navigating this one.

Rough shift. Pretty sure it's physically impossible to complete all tasks assigned. But we tried. Hard.

These trippy rainbow formations are called polar stratospheric clouds (PSC).
They form in the stratosphere at 15-25 km (9-16 mi) when temps are below −78 °C.
They're so high up that they're illuminated long after the sun dips below the horizon.

IT disregarded my "please don't touch" notes, deleted a necessary program, ignored three emails, and are now an hour into a multi step process to fix it. I'm trying to hide my grumps, but I fear my face is being quite loud.

With the state of the world, it feels crucial to stick together and lift each other up.
My personal loss and grief over my mother has left me feeling even more vulnerable in a world that has gone insane.
