"Well as you can see, Melinda, this is a giant floaty. We have filled it with air, and these NAVY divers are attaching ropes and carabiners in a very official way, as to facilitate the move from the capsule into the giant floaty."
I keep slipping into full-on #Monsterdon mode and accidentally sharing a comment that is meant more for my mufos than for the people on the Artemis II hashtag, lol.
I need a t-shirt that just says DORK in big block letters
"Nominal" is like "chuffed" for me, for some reason (maybe a misunderstanding in my youth?) my brain hears these words as negative descriptors, not positive.
@inthehands@drahardja Oh my gosh, right? I love that show. So often when I was really into an episode, I would wonder whether the real job is like this, and what that kind of diplomatic competency must be like to be a part of - and the vast majority of it quiet, behind closed doors, just deftly navigating power structures and personalities, forging bonds and putting out fires that the general population never even know about.
Hey hey fellow ADHD folks and anyone else who regularly needs post-its or other written reminders! YouTube just put this in front of me. It's a band you can write on with a ball point pen, wipe off using friction (water won't remove it), and it snaps to your wrist.
It was originally designed for nurses in Japan who write notes on their wrists. But I can imagine about a thousand ways that a person who struggles with executive function could use something like this!
The website for the company is wemo.earth, and you can buy the bands on Amazon if you need that convenience, or also at japantrendshop.com as an Amazon alternative (they ship worldwide). They're about $18 USD.
For years I have been affectionately teased for my love of notebooks and stationary. Which is FINE, families gonna fam, I dish out all that I take, rest assured.
But an hour ago Jupiter was like, “You know, I really want to start cooking, and have a notebook where I put recipes,” and I was on it like white on rice. Here, want to check out my blank notebook collection and pick one? They did. Want to use my corner cutter to round all the corners? They did. Want to use my rainbow of index cards and specialized hole punch to make colored notes for your sections? Want this cute food-themed washi tape? Want me to write up tonight’s soup recipe? YES!
They were just standing at the kitchen table, putting their notebook together using all my stuff, and they’re like, “Mom! This is so cool! You’re so magical!” And I’m standing there with the gazillion-watt glow of my decades-long niche nerdy obsession saving the day, and being loudly recognized and appreciated about it. 😂
