introducing FindMyWifePhone™️ my latest shortcut squarely placed on the pareto frontier. there is no easier & cheaper way to find your wife's phone.
"honey, do you know where my phone is?"
the fuck I dont!
"can you call me?!"
she keeps her phone on silent.
so i made this shortcut to help.
trigger = i send her a text with !ping in it
action = hey phone sets a timer for 1s
timer always works, we like to keep our phones on silent + dnd and we dont use apple watches. so finding each other's phones used to be a challenge. we both have this set up in reverse, and its worked well.
bonus shortcut = button in home screen widget to send !ping to my wife
(we also have one called !awaken which disables silent, sets volume to max & disables do not disturb in case of emergency)

Took a walk and stopped in my tracks - a hotel lobby so much like a dive bar (dreamlike, with a basement, in an alley, weird slats on the windows) i went to years ago with an ex. I don’t remember which one.
Cried again at mass 🤙

Rain so beautiful it made me want to paint again. Imagining:
- gessoing cardboard
- sketching the mountains
- tracing a brush through paint
Light, air, sound
Sometimes I think about how I spent the entire last 3 years “resource guarding” “in survival mode.” How i kept running into people who asked me to give and give and give when I was nothing worn down to nerves and bones skin and marrow, not much blood left
I snapped and bit too

I’m grateful for the intermediate stages - being interdisciplinary - recombination spurs evolution. The side path is the way forward
I’m glad I don’t have kids yet. I don’t think I have Enough yet.
Sometimes, when you don’t have Enough, the sharks circle. And then everything looks like a shark, and anyone who asks anything of you looks like a shark
And relationships (romantic or platonic) will always ask
