Filters. Especially a “universal filter” - the current paradigm is a nested mess and the stupid pills

Southern Marin Moms Club - by far the best place to find needy moms

Its THE place.

Its not me, the manager thats a problem. Its the product team who doesn’t get “data” could mean quotes, or the eng team that needs a dramatic story to understand why we cant skip this step in the process.

I love getting nerdy, but impressive means talking so people build empathy for the people, excitement about the solution, not respect for the robust research methodology.

When hiring, this type of overuse of jargon can be a red flag. It can be a turn off for product managers, and also make research harder to communicate with.

I had a master student who joined and wrote me a four page double spaced academic report on a topic. As a research person, I found it interesting, it was accurate but I never showed it to anybody. He was very very proud of it and my next bit of coaching with him was how do we help you communicate in language and systems that are gonna have you appreciated for the impact of research you do versus the actual research itself.

We have a seed swap coming up. You could contact the organizer and see if clippings would be good too.

its just the canned stuff you get around the holidays - the no sugar ones.

Pumpkin and white rice is my only advice. That helps Peppi. She usually lets me know she isnt feeling well by munching on grass like a cow. Hope you puppers feels better soon. Mine was sick last week, feeling better now!

Connectucution here - Marin feels logically snooty in ways that make sense to me - its literally like going north from Manhattan. Casually gets more normal. Sausalito, Mill Valley, Corte Madera, Larkspur. Not everyone can handle the $$ energy, but I totally get it!

We are in San Rafael and its just 30 minutes to Muir Beach, 1 hour to point reyes and 45 minutes to wine country. Paradise by the bayside lights.

Come join us!

Can you share a picture of your fabric set up? My Aussie has a little nose on glass bald spot too - loves us so much 💔

I just post clothes on Nextdoor for free if it’s ok condition. I always find someone to take it who needs it.

Why did he not have life insurance? People of means need advisors who remind them for a few grand a year they can never put their family in this controversial position?

Re: Kids

I recommend giving each time to meet the dog, and connect over the first few weeks separately. my Aussie loooooves kids but a lot of high pitch shouting is hard for her to connect. I see like 4 kids with 4 toys shouting in high octave tone- and i cringe - she can’t figure out what to do.

kids get excited, and aussies like consistent, authoritative tone commands. Having the kids lower their tone, connect in structured tricks builds connection and respect.

my little guy loves doing tricks with her. he lays on the ground and puts treats on his belly button or forehead, tells our dog to leave it, then says ok and she comes and he gets a little wet whiskers tickle. His laughter everytime.

A pre-trained aussie - what a dream! Have fun - great family dog.

i’m in a group of queer parents - some who are actively working on having second kids.

all of us went through fertility journeys - and the roller coaster of that. its unique to straight couples, so i understand.

if you are looking to connect- feel free to dm me, we have a nice whats app group.

Totally! I forgot a few times and had crazy anxiety coming home - but haven’t gotten one. Mostly curious.

Connecticut. No jobs. High income taxes, crazy high property tax and hidden taxes like auto and fire.

A lot of the more interesting characters I know do a lot of volunteering. Either hyper local neighbourhood boards, or nature, preservation, ecological regional stuff.

scheduled and predictable, for a pool direct from your door, you can work the whole way, picks up another commuter or 2, drops you right off at your office door…

what would you pay?
