Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

ICE, immigration, kids, twitter link 

A friend of mine I trust just directed me towards this thread on twitter. Consider it suggested reading to mitigate and properly direct outrage to the right places.

Beginner tip: marry a blacksmith for free swords.

Pro tip: marry many blacksmiths and get a whole poly-armory

one of the crow fledglings has found its way to the neighborhood of my porch, so now I'm being treated to a round of angry "FEED ME OMG" honking. XD

Spouse: the googly eyes you stuck on the Roomba make it look so innocent as it's trying to eat and run away with my computer cables...

downstairs neighbors are playing music really loud, but all we can hear upstairs is the base, which sounds like an irregular and badly-tuned foghorn. o____o *BOOOO-DOOOOO-DUUUUM*

I'm watching the TinyKittens Kitten Cam youtube.com/watch?v=PowGFq6X3C and right now it is a KITTEN RIOT. they're bouncing all over everywhere and wrassling with each other and making adorable little trilling sounds. eeeee

had a brief dreambit about the ending of "I Am Dragon"... that really is a good movie.

yardwork, allergies, mild body horror 

I can hear the mowers going and MY ENTIRE BODY IS COVERED IN ITCHING. eerrrgggghhhhh *twitchtwitch* evidently there's something I'm extra-allergic to in the air right now. I should probably cut my nails down entirely before I start drawing blood on my own skin...

Tumblr tried to sneak in data collection under the radar. After a few taps, you can get a list of who they're sharing data with.

The list takes 19 screenshots to see all the names on my phone.

NINETEEN.

flrgh... if I'm going to Do The Thing I should Go Do The Damn Thing Soon. flllrrrrrgh.

there's a local squirrel I've nicknamed "Stubby" because it's got about half the amount of fluffy tail a squirrel usually has. Stubby seems to function perfectly well as a squirrel, but it's just kinda... weird-looking.

rape 

A friend was sexually assaulted in her home by an abusive ex and is afraid for her safety, doesn't want to tell anyone else, and doesn't know what to do. Any crisis advice would be a huge help. Based in Toronto.

there are some barred owls making a hell of a racket outside tonight. XD they sound like a cross between angry small dogs and howler monkeys...
