You know the coffee shop is good when they have a collection of vinyl to choose from. 😎☕️
Resume Slop, or Being Unemployed in 2025
I was going to save this article for my weekly “what I’ve been reading” post but I’m too exhausted and equally pissed off, which means this deserves its own post. The résumé is dying, and AI is holding the smoking gun Full disclosure, I was laid off from my position with a tech startup last year. I’ve worked in Tech my entire life, I’ve been laid off before, unfortunately it comes with the terriftory.
I have not been a good poster this week! I’ve been busy moving and dealing with everything that comes with that.
I’m taking a break to share this attempt at introducing our rescue to our old and sassy cat. 😾🐶
I was going through one of my old tech bins and came across these gems. Anyone remember iPod Socks? Yes these were a real thing that Apple sold. I personally love them.
Sketched Out
I forgot to add this short, beatiful article to my weekly link post today. It captures the struggle creatives are facing with the rise of AI.
New Shoes, Same Treadmill #5
Stuff I’m doing 👨🏻💻 Last week I mentioned our basement flooded. We’ve dried everything off as best we can and we’ve had to pull up some of the carpet in the worst spots. The insurance adjuster came by and said it looks like it’s a result of the water table rising, not a leak in the walls or windows. So now we wait to hear back regarding what will be covered.
Happy Canada Day to all who celebrate! 🇨🇦

New Shoes, Same Treadmill #4
Stuff I’m doing 👨🏻💻 I’m trying very hard to keep it all together. At any moment I could lose my shit. This is a result of the universe having a way of throwing you a ton of bullshit all at once. The latest was our basement flooding due to a monumental fuck ton of rain last weekend. We’ve ripped out carpet, moved furniture and vacuumed us as much water as we can.
Day 26: Bridge 📷
Day 25: Decay 📷
Day 24: Bloom 📷
Just finished “In Limbo” by Deb JJ Lee. I’ve been a fan of their illustrations for years now and the book is beautiful.
There’s a lot here. It’s about adolescence, abuse, mental illness, and struggling to find your place in this world. Highly recommended.
I Journal
I’m one of those weirdos that likes to journal. It’s like talking to yourself in print form. Which is good because talking yourself verbally makes you look insane. I hadn’t realized just how long I’ve been journalling for. I started in 2011! I was still in my first marriage and was working as a Manager for Apple Retail. It feels like a lifetime ago (I’m old). My Journalling Workflow I’ve tried using paper and pen/pencil numerous times but I keep coming back to digital.
day 23: Fracture 📷
I had a hard time finding a photo for this one. Do mountains count as a fracture? 🤔
Day 22: Hometown 📷
