treat people with kindness

my best surprise christmas gift for d this year, which was a bidet toilet seat, which, even though the installation process involved a long sunday afternoon of me sitting in puddles of tepid water on our bathroom floor feeling very frustrated and at a certain point telling d "i just want to warn you that i need to scream to get this frustration out and this scream is not about you it is about the toilet" and then screaming as loud as i could, i eventually got it all together and it has made her happy. i like the bidet feature but i'm most thankful for the heated toilet seat, which is something that i never really thought about or would have found important but is quite nice during the winter!

"accordion" (rip mf doom)

my best surprise christmas gifts from d this year, which were a knockoff theragun (i have spent so much time the last week power-tooling my body at the highest settings, highly recommend if you like that kind of shit!) and an anti-fog cloth for my glasses, which has made it possible for me to wear glasses indoors with a mask so that i am not constantly squinting my way through the grocery store.

my favorite podcaster austin walker has a new podcast about star wars (if you prefer video, some of my favorite video game streams are his permadeath series, where he plays a game of breath of the wild with increasingly difficult constraints, like a video game the five obstructions)

d was going to make banana snacking cake but realized we didn't have baking powder and so pivoted to making chocolate chip cookies. also, the new lightbulb she installed in the kitchen overhead fixture, after a year of it always being too dim.

today in tabs is back!!!
