Aarti

No one else in my life has entered their parental caregiving era yet and it really sucks and I have a lot to complain about!!!! If you’re doin this my DMs are open so we can gossip and commiserate

I used to volunteer at a decent nursing home, and everyone there was so lonely. A couple of them would cry when I held their hand while we chatted. It makes me so sad to think about seniors who don’t have support; so many emotional resources are provided to young people, but theres almost nothing for people on the other end, who have to quickly process their change in circumstances alongside their own decline and mortality

Food math: 3800/15 people = 253.33 That’s less than $9 per day on food for one person

I’m quickly becoming an expert on assisted living facilities within the US and learning how ugly bottom line optimization gets when human care is the product

@isosteph Did he win?

@lavabisme Did you move?!

Fidi is a great neighborhood for families. You will NOT change my mind

almost summertime

@ArtirKel So sorry José ❤️🫂

My mom stopped breathing today. She has been on sedatives for the past three days and before that I was lucky we were able to say everything we wanted to say. Now I understand how much she really loved me.

@ad0rnai Yes pls!!!

@00aarti it was wonderful! the entire experience was magical 💗 let’s go together next time you’re in town xx

just got called a republican outside chez panisse

Are there any people in your life or around you that you *would* be friends with if they gave you a chance? It’s worth it to try and place yourself around them more often, and figure out if you feel good around them, try to get a sense of whether they feel good around you too. Ideally there’s mutual respect and desire to make plans and act on them If no one comes to mind, think about where you might find people you would enjoy being around, and try to make yourself more available there. This part takes deliberate work upfront Think about what kind of friendships you’re looking for. The closer the friendship you desire, the more investment upfront you’ll need to make before you can coast on the foundation you’ve laid

genuinely how do you make friends

if you know of opportunities for a backend dev pls let me know 2 years of exp as a mobile dev 4 years of exp as a backend dev mostly Go and JS/TS, but also Kotlin, Swift, Java

@Bfaviero It’s a scam imo. If you’re interested in diy, I use this recipe when I make electrolyte gummies theplantedrunner.com/homemade-hydra…

Why are electrolytes so expensive? Why does the electrolyte cartel make each packet like $3

@WHALEINFO Here we are, one more revolution around the sun under our belt and I have not brought it up yet. I appreciate the reminder and will do my best to embed the idea into a relevant conversation soon

@WHALEINFO Btw since you just got back to this I should tell you I have not yet managed to do so. The quest continues

Here is an idea: Apple juice for sluts Fruit juice is always branded as wholesome, but what if there is another market: sluts

@ooooldsport Either yall are super nice or he’s about to have the worst trip ever

Developing: my friend is best man in a Peru wedding next week that we’re all going to, but he secretly(!) tore his ACL in a rec league soccer game the other night and everyone is playing along LIKE PUPPETS acting like this isn’t gonna ruin the tour

@NathanpmYoung Speaking of, this is one of my fav anecdotes written in the memoir. She was very clever!

My oration at Grammie’s funeral:

@ArenRendell Vial of blood and a small dna sequencer

Yes. I’ve yet to see interesting solutions to root verification. I wonder if the blockchain ZK crowd could redirect efforts and solve this.

It’s time to bring back wax seals

@chihuahuapilled Affirm

Going thru strife and burnout rn is good actually bc I’m going to bounce back harder than ever and have the greatest summer in recorded history

Being polite yet relentless over the phone is a muscle I hadn’t used in a long time. 20+ calls later, it came right back. The skill has decayed in everyday value but suddenly matters when you need to bounce between doctors/insurance/pharmacy/specialists
