  • i started a new job (remote, with a chill af boss) that only offered 2 weeks of vacation after the NPO i worked for got bought by a for-profit and i forecasted that we’d be stripped of our 6 weeks PTO accrual (I was right). I stored up my first year’s PTO so i could use it in march for a week-long vacation we usually do for spring break. in january i learned that it’s apparently wiped clean on Jan 1. I now, weirdly, use 0 hours of PTO in a year, but I always take time off when i need it. probably adds up to more than the 2 weeks i’m supposed to have. but i got burned by the rules so i’ve decided i don’t need to play by them. so yeah, i’m not “just accepting it”


  • Yeah, they curate their service with people they specifically invite. At least for a while, no idea if it’s still this way, every channel owner on Nebula was a part-owner to the service and had a vote in major platform decisions.

    I think this rules, personally. It makes me feel great about subscribing knowing that everyone there has a vested interest in the platform as a whole succeeding and producing worthwhile material. On the flip side, there are really good channels on YouTube that I wish were on Nebula, and I think would be a good fit, but there’s not really a process for suggesting them to the platform for invitation.










  • Our Husky was 10 when he passed away in 2023. We had always joked that his middle name was “pizza thief” because he was very good at stealing pizza when you weren’t looking. easily at least a dozen times in his life he nabbed pizza from right next to you, from the counter, or sometimes even from your lap. For one of his last meals, we got a pizza and specifically left some out for him to “steal” for the last time. I will cherish that moment forever. Celebrating his life spent with us, and the quirks that made him who he was, was the only way we could let him go.
