Oh noes, why am I just barely discovering BrickOwl.

I meant to play in my Drupal local chaos sandbox to tinker with the charts text filter module, but I guess I’m going to spend the rest of the day looking for hair/heads/outfits/accessories for the Natalie and John minifigs instead. Oops. 😆

I love it when I am this close 🤌 to getting up to go pick up where I left off with laundry, and then the small-to-medium sized furry mammal bouncingly sprints into the room, jumps into my legs, and immediately curls up in my lap.

(this is both sincere and sarcastic 😂)

Following up on #InternationalCatDay, I share with you a photo of Boone. He enjoys his supervised outdoor time with his humans because he gets to take in so many interesting smells! #Caturday

#GoodDistractions

Happy Friday. May you have a wonderful day, and may your weekend be as soothing and serene as a cat lounging in a sunbeam. ☀️🐈‍⬛

This guy just turned 10 yesterday. So grateful to share this journey with him and my partner. Happy birthday, Boone! 🥳

First day of pride month during a tumultuous time makes me feel like I should really speak up. 🏳️‍🌈

You got a problem with LGBTQ+ folks, you got a problem with me. And I suggest you let that one marinate.

My ducks much prefer to be in a column rather than in a row. Specifically a Tuscan or a Doric column. 🦆 🏛️

This hits the spot.

Alright, I’m in the mood to start mocking up a design system for my personal blog/portfolio site. Everything is a little hazy in my mind right now, so I want to start tinkering around somewhere with colors, typography, etc. I know there is Figma, so I could start with that.

❓Are there any alternatives to Figma that others out in the Fediverse prefer using?

I like turtles! 🐢

It is one of those nights where my partner and I debate about if cardinality is in the field instance or in field storage (he was convinced it is per field instance… and I’m like “huh? No, it’s in the field storage!”)

If you need something that is an instant anxiety reducer, I highly recommend playing “A Little to the Left”. My brain feels so relaxed and chill right now ☺️

This is a bird bath! I was hoping to get a photo of it looking like some random bowl floating on top of some snow but kinda missed that opportunity 😅

I gave in, and snowshoed over to my favorite cedar trees. The snow is deep and very fluffy. I’m back inside now, but it was fun!

I love it when I hear Boone’s little snores and find him curled up inside one of his cat beds 🐈‍⬛ #Caturday #GoodDistractions

The deep thinkers, the verbose writers, the curious, and the romantics. That’s my type. ❤️‍🔥

The other day, I successfully configured DDEV on a sandbox site and then started following this recipe initiative documentation: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/distributions_recipes/-/tree/1.0.x

I stubbed out a simple recipe that, when applied, enables certain modules.

Yes, these are very simple things, but I consider them to be “small wins” worth recognizing along my long journey back to happiness.

It is yet again that time, where I wish I could make copies of myself to be able to attend multiple concurrent sessions at DrupalCon Atlanta. Too many good ones are happening at the same times, and I’m only looking at Tuesday’s schedule so far!

This morning, when I was trying to sleep in a little, my cat decided to audition for the role of “alarm clock”.

#GoodDistractions

I stumbled across a meme somewhere that pointed out the amusing trend of #AI logos looking like buttholes. Now I can’t unsee it.

And now you can’t unsee it, either!

*laughs maniacally into the void*

All of my Drupal friends here—come join the Pacific Time Virtual Drupal Users Group meetup 💫today💫.

February 5, 2025 at 6-8pm PST (or, if you’re on the east coast like me: 9-11pm EST)

Yes, you might think, “Pacific Time? But I’m not Pacific Time.” Yeah, well, me neither! All timezones are welcome!

And, it’s virtual! So no need to snow blow a couple feet of snow out the driveway to get there.

We require more Jim Halpert Energy.

Look— if you want someone to make up some creative hallucinations for you, you don’t need AI. Just let me pull a few all-nighters in short succession or eat some strange fungi or plants. Trust me, I’ve got you covered. 🧚🏻‍♀️

Flashback to the time when my partner came back from a walk, and woke me up during a nap to show me a cool rock he found.

Before he even said a word, I took the rock out of his hand, put it in my mouth, then spat it back out and said, “this is not a jellybean”.

Alright, soooo far the first couple of episodes of Severance are really hitting the spot. But, my partner keeps drawing the most hilariously out-of-left field parallels between Lumon Industries & $former_employers and I cannot stop laughing so damn hard. My stomach hurts now, but maybe I’ll have some abs again if he keeps it up 🙃

During the Great Wave of Layoffs in the cursèd year of our Lord two thousand and twenty four, I was ranting & shooting the shit with my good martech bud who once upon a time used to be a CMO. One of the things he said to me:

“Greed. Greed + hate + fear = late stage capitalism. Doing good is harder than ever so many don’t try.”

I’ve been deeply reflecting upon that a lot lately.

Anybody reading this: please continue to try to do good in this fucked up world. Don’t stop. 🙏 💫

Goodnight sun, goodnight moon. One of y’all I’ll see later, one of y’all I’ll see soon! ☀️🌛 😴

I love re-watching old TV shows because it is always fun to discover something new—either about the show or even yourself. For example:

Friends: John & I are totally team “Rachel & Joey” this time around rather than “Rachel & Ross”. Rachel & Joey had a much better dynamic IMO
The Office: First time around, I had the biggest crush on Pam. Second time around, still that but now I finally get the appeal of Jim Halpert—loving his mischievous prankster energy.

My new resolution for 2025 is to become a professional shitposter. I have a lot of studying to do.

My partner wanted me to ask the Drupalverse: anybody else celebrating the launch of Drupal CMS 🚀 by building various space-themed LEGO kits, or is it just us? 😅 🛰️🛸👩🏻‍🚀
