It was her first dog, so she was a bit hazy on commands.
"Fetch," she would say, and her dog would wag its tail and vanish, then return with what she needed. Not always the thing she expected, but what she needed.
One day, she said "Fetch", and the dog returned with a sword.

“The Perils of Rehydration: Understanding how Gatsby/Next manage server-side rendering and rehydration”
I have mixed feelings about posts like these. These frameworks are the wrong tool for this specific job. https://www.joshwcomeau.com/react/the-perils-of-rehydration/

if you sleep too much you'll get a migraine. if you don't sleep enough, you'll get a migraine. if you get stressed out about having to sleep exactly the right amount, you'll get a migraine. if you manage to calm down after being stressed out, guess what? migraine time

If you're in need of almost-last-minute gifts for queer friends and you're in the UK, here's the handwarmers I have in stock: http://wiki.polyinpictures.com/index.php?title=For_sale#Handwarmers_in_stock
Most of them are £16 per pair, first class postage is £1.50, happy to post overseas - DM me if you're interested!
The rain came. I can confirm the gingkos are totally bare, some still with yellow carpet, most with khaki.
Along the tracks in Mountain View stands a line of ginkgo trees, bent slightly, not by Diablo winds or ocean gales but the punctuated wakes of trains.
In fall, they glow Suessian yellow, bright as torches in the early sundown. How strange that the trains bend the tree but the leaves remain. Waiting, I suppose, for the absent rains to pull them down.

Dogs play the game where you don't let the balloon touch the ground. On a beach. I watched at least a dozen loops already and I'm not even close to done

it's dark out, nothing matters, there is nothing to look forward to for at least six more months, I just do a shitty job at work and parent my kid
(especially now, because there was a COVID case in my kid's daycare class and we're doubly quarantined now with no childcare)
but sure, introduce your brand new girlfriend to our kid, why the hell not
like, a clean financial and legal break and half custody with some flex (e.g. if either parent gets sick)
and for my ex to quit thinking we'll ever get back together
that would be cool too
"what do you want out of your divorce?"
to be divorced, lol
splitting holidays custody during a pandemic:

RT @RoyalHoeliness
Someone sent this to me on TikTok and I am delighted.
relationship +
6th anniversary with boyfriend. He sent me a sweet note before I even realized what day it was.
It's his longest-lasting relationship to date, and he doesn't see that changing.
It's not my longest-lasting relationship yet, but I'd like it to be.

"Svelte for Sites, React for Apps" by Shawn Wang https://www.swyx.io/svelte-sites-react-apps/
Interesting exploration of tradeoffs between web sites and web apps, and React versus Svelte. Worth reading for the links alone.
