I thought I was done with advanced window managers on Mac but a teammate mentioned https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai and all my fond keyboard-driven memories are coming back.

There was pain, too, but I've mostly forgotten that part so I guess it's time to give this another go!

Okay hey wow hello; this is kind of nice. Low-key feeing like I can see myself and all my actions very clearly right now! I’m feeling like it’s subtly easier for me to concentrate and stay on task.

More and more apps are giving me “popups” before I can use the app and it’s getting ridiculous. Spotify gave me 3 before I was allowed to use the app. My bank gives me an ad for themselves before I can do anything. Grubhub is constantly interrupting to ask for endless ratings.

It makes me want to stop using my phone.

Had a college student watch our dog while we were away and set up a guest account on #Plex just in case she got curious while dog sitting. When we came back she was gushing about good the curated selection of movies was and that was possibly the greatest compliment I’ve gotten from a near-stranger.

Oh right I forgot I have #adhd and convinced myself that I “grew out of it” 20 years ago. Turns out I didn’t and I just learned to cope but it was waiting for me when life gets stressful

Small stories that are a bit longer. Slightly mundane but also hopeful and reveals the hidden strength in humanity. Few of us are actively building community, but many of us are doing it “accidentally” just by being open, kind, accepting, and standing up when someone needs a hand.

Great article about marriage vs career. Everyone has their own path; I probably wouldn't have liked this article 10 years ago but it really resonates with me now.

"if you have a great career and a crappy marriage you will be unhappy, but if you have a great marriage and a crappy career you will be happy"

Just remembering the time when I told a very close friend (at the time) that I’m introverted and “mostly straight” and their reaction was to laugh and say “no you’re not.” I kept that “friend” for years before I stopped talking with them and I’m torturing myself now wondering why I kept them for so long.

I’d like to follow along with whatever’s going on with #LK99 but having a hard time finding people talking about it. Suggestions?

I didn’t realize how much I needed @tottoro in my feed. Lots of depressing stuff out there but sometimes a screenshot from a Miyazaki is all one needs to get some serenity.

Really cutting to the bone here.

"There was a time when the internet was made out of people, but now that it’s spammers and corporations, I feel like I need a secretary — or a bouncer — to make sure only humans get through. When I was younger, the internet felt like a ticket to a bigger, more exciting world than the cornfield I was growing up in. But now it seems that the noise has drowned out the signal that once sustained me. And it seems like no one cares."
