Blog
This is a list of all the content on this site - I like to think of it as my digital stream of conscousness. Blog posts, notes, books I’ve read, and links I’ve enjoyed are all mixed together, but you can filter them if you prefer. Enjoy. 🙃

Walking the dogs with the youngest...
Him: Daaaaaad, I've been reading a book in school about how babies are born.
Me (inner monologue): Shit shit shit shit shit shit.
Him: Did you know that a baby comes out of a ladies private parts and the hole is this big (holds fingers up in a very small circle). But a baby is this big (holds hands up about 2 feet apart).
Me: Yep. That's pretty much it, mate.
Him: .........................................I'm glad I'm not a girl.
Me: 😂😂😂😂😂
Shouting from the other end of the house:
Me: [youngest kid's name], GUESS WHAT???
Him: WHAT?
Me: YOU SMELL! 😂😂
Him (very calmly): You're boring...
And so the student becomes the master. You win this round, young'n.
Fantastic post by Manu on what identity is and that we can't be identified in broad strokes.
For some reason, I find this site hilarious (probably needs to be done on desktop).
Do people find “month in review” posts interesting? I’ve thought about doing them myself, but very rarely read them so haven’t bothered.
Although when I do read them, they’re usually quite interesting…
Last Friday I posted about taking a break from Mastodon and since then I've checked Masto maybe 3 time and only really looked at my notifications.
It's actually been very pleasant. No politics, no moaning, no negativity, and no drama. I checked the timeline just now and all 4 of those things came flooding in.
Think I'm going to continue just checking my notifications. It's nice.
Just sitting down with the kids to watch The NeverEnding Story and this happened...
Me: this was released the year I was born, so it's the same age as me, boys.
Oldest: So it's old fashioned?
Me: Yep
Oldest: So why is there colour then?
😂😂😂 why do kids troll us so much??
One of my favourite #Kirby plugins seems to be abandoned. The default Kirby textarea editor is fine, but this adds some nice quality of life things that I really enjoy.
I wish I had the skills to maintain something like this. I'd love to help. 😞
