Oh no, my everything hurts.

#CollegeMoveIn #DadOps

The way car packing worked out, I’ll have the kiddo for the drive to college move-in, so instead of sleeping I’m making a totally chill, perfectly normal playlist (literally titled thus).

Good chance I’ll be a mess tomorrow night.

My son is taking an electronic music production class this week.

Me: DID YOU MAKE SOME FUNKY BEATS?
Son: I guess.
Me: How many??
Son: four of them
Me: Sweet, that's already an EP!
Son: I guess?
Me: You should release them!
Son: uh.
Me: What's your stage name?
Son (exasperated): BEATS ME
Me: That's a great name for a producer!
Son: AAAARGH

#DadOps #beats

Presently trying to reason with a whiny, feverish toddler to take her medicine in hopes our day isn’t totally blown out of the water. Always the optimist, I give it a 30% chance.

I did have an AWESOME homemade breakfast and dirty chai, though.

New instance so I guess new intro? I haven't done one in years, so here goes...

Dad x2 (teen and a toddler 😳) Happy and devoted husband to @jillianmarisa. Liberal. Enthusiastic Missouri Master Naturalist and somehow President of the KC chapter. 🤷‍♂️

Tootin' since 2022. Mastodon made me a Linux-using, #fedifirst, FOSS evangelist.

I dig: Conservation + naturalist topics, photography (mostly birds these days) postcards 'n travel. Leader @ a Conglom-O Corp thankfully doing tech that isn't evil.

Washed up travel influencer. I still help run @AirlineReporter & host a Mastodon community of travel/airplane geeks @ AvGeek.Social.

Growing a family, chickens and multiple gardens while renovating my childhood home: Grandpa's 1960 house here in beautiful Lee’s Summit, MO, US (KC-metro)

Holy crap, my kid is a high school graduate. Amazing, but also what the heck.

As mentioned in one of the speeches today: “The days are long, but the years are short.”

#dadops

How is it the kiddo’s last day of high school (regular classes) already?

Die Kinder mal an die Boomer-Küche heranführen. #DadOps

Gna! Wenn man so über Projekte stolpert und auf einmal einen Usecase dafür hat. #DadOps

Kinder immer in einer N+2 Config wegen Redundanz!

Solltest ein Kind bei einer Freundin übernachten, hast du immer noch zwei Kinder, von denen eines bis 10 Uhr pennt, und das andere dich um 5:30 weckt, weil es ausgeschlafen hat.

Redundanz... so wichtig! #DadOps

Home after about ten hours travel and ten minutes later I’m on a school run with football practice later #dadops

Taking the kid to the midnight #pokemon game release. And I’m solo parenting for the next few days…Tomorrow morning’s going to be “fun.”

Still, it’s nice to observe her “among her people”.

Asking on behalf of my daughter who’s hoping to find a political/politics-adjacent placement for 12 months, in the UK for her third year, starting summer 2026.

Ideally London-based for party/politician/think tank/quango or anything similar.

Any tips greatly received. Boosts welcomed!

#GetFediHired #DadOps

The kiddo approached me yesterday, interested in seeing a theatrical re-release of #PerfectBlue, and wondering if I’d be willing to take her.

My response was basically: “Are you kidding me?! #SatoshiKon movies rule! I’m in!”

Her: “Oh, cool, I didn’t know if you’d heard of it.”

Me: “I’m pretty sure I still have the VHS!”

Ich liebe den Geruch von KiTa-Notbetreuung Morgen. #dadlife #DadOps #mobilesarbeiten

Alter, es ist erst halb 11 und mir kommt es vor, als ob der Tag halb rum ist. Wer mit K3 um 6:30 an einem Sonntag aufsteht, der hat mehr vom Leben! #DadOps #DadLife

Nie wieder Ferienwohnung OHNE Waschmaschine und Trockner. Dieser Stunt mit drei Kindern war nix… Gruß aus dem Waschsalon. ✌️ #DadOps #urlaubmitkindern

Ein guter Gedanke, den absolut unterstütze: Es geht bei der Alltagsorganisation nicht darum, möglichst straff und gut organisiert zu sein, sondern diese Organisation so schlank und strukturiert zu halten wie möglich, damit mehr Zeit für alle bleibt. #DadOps #Elterngedöns

Spannende Folge. Interessante Haltung zum Thema „bedürfnisorientierte Erziehung“. Auf jeden Fall kann ich den Punkt, dass Eltern heute ihre eigenen Grenzen ignorieren um den Kindern möglichst viel zu ermöglichen, absolut bestätigen. Die eigenen Grenzen zu ignorieren, und auf der anderen Seite Aufgaben nicht sinnvoll zu priorisieren, sind eine Freikarte für einen Klinikaufenthalt. #DadOps #Elterngedöns

Younger son is heading to summer camp soon. Outing with Pops with some chores as a family pair.

🍳 Breakfast and latte.
💃 Urban walk.
👀 Army Surplus visit.

✌️💙 #3goodthings #dadops

Just got the kiddo registered to vote.

I am 🥰 and 🥲 but also 🤯 and 😱 with a splash of 💀.

Good morning my little poolside cheap seats. Swimming lessons are underway so time for a close listen of the new Lorraine James joint.

Just used a selfie stick to inspect the guttering from an upstairs window. #dadops

Raspberry Jam with Girl again today. Her BFF is going today too, which is nice. Boy is back to league football followed by a laser tag party at the same time, but I’m best suited for the RJ run. #dadops
