I love cats. My family does not. Or at least, they used to. This is a warm, funny little story about kittens, family drama, my mom’s shocking cat-lady transformation, and my still-unsuccessful campaign to finally adopt a cat. #cat #catlover #cute #feline

Living with bipolar disorder has been messy, exhausting, and sometimes weirdly funny. I’m sharing how I first learned what was happening in my head, how life changed after diagnosis, and how I keep going one chaotic brain-tab at a time.

A client once asked me to disable right-click on her website after someone copied her content. Sounds useful, right? Well… not always. I wrote about why anti-copy-paste tricks can annoy readers, fail pretty easily, and why AI scraping bots are the bigger thing to watch.

My Family’s Music Taste Makes Absolutely No Sense

My family’s music taste never made sense. From classic rock to African rap, I grew up in chaos, somehow convinced I’d be the normal one.

My Dad Was a Genius… Apparently

I grew up thinking my dad was just… my dad. Turns out, he used to be a “walking calculator.” I’m still trying to process that.

Me? A Teacher? LOL!

Tried teaching Mandarin and programming a few times. It never worked. Students disappeared, I got confused, and somehow I kept saying yes again.
