#DTFStLouis was a wild ride, but felt like a full frontal confrontation with complex, tender male emotions.
On one hand I’m tired of centering men, but on the other, those tender feelings need to be talked about more for men to heal from toxic masculinity.
Anyway, great show and superb acting!

Just saw Citizen Kane for the first time (in theater) because it’s critically acclaimed as the best Hollywood film (felt obliged).
I’ll be thinking about it for weeks, but my main takeaway is that it’s about the eternal struggle with male ego. Not to mention the technical groundbreaking it made.

Herbert the Herb garden is doing very well this year with a bunch of volunteers seeded from last year. Mixed in is some raw, dirty wool to keep the rodents away (it’s working). Rosemary, 3 types of basil, chives, dill, oregano, cilantro, and parsley. 💚

Last night I dreamed I was hanging out with a group of ladies at a restaurant. There was a VERY thin woman there and I thought, “oh I shouldn’t ask her what’s good here, it looks like she hasn’t had much experience tasting good things.”
I was that thin when I was young and I certainly didn’t.

I’m reading my workplace’s set up guide for Claude Code. One of the first unqualified pieces of advice is to set it up in a VM. I assume the reasoning there is so Claude can’t access the files on my computer.
So the first rec in starting to use this tool is to protect myself from this tool.

I think chiropractors are quacks, however once in a long while I pop this deep joint in my hips/back during yoga and I can hear angels singing the rest of the day.
So I guess I can see their angle and how they getcha.

The most hilarious part of this is that the recall only affects 173 total vehicles, because that's all Tesla's sold of its rear wheel drive model.

I was awoken by an alert on my phone last night around midnight. Through my sleepy fog I thought it said “international threat” and I thought were were gonna be bombed. Then the tornado sirens started blaring. It took me a couple minutes to wake up enough to see “tornado warning” in the alert 🤦♀️
