Happy Mother’s Day! Here’s this week’s list of things to check out:
- Crumbl Cookies: I got six of these while hitting up the Hallmark Store near my office on Friday. I don’t think they went over well here… they weren’t housed that night, and there are some pieces left in the box as I type this. They are cakey cookies, not crispy or chewy or thin, and there’s a lot of icing going on. Still worth a try.
- Wintoys for Windows: This is a cool hack utility for Windows that offers to optimize your system for you. I’m not inclined to try most of the features on a machine I use frequently, but I do like the battery report and God Mode toggles. Even if you aren’t inclined to hack your system, this is a cool app for seeing background processes and installed apps.
- Moms: TikTok and Insta will have you plumbing your psyche for childhood wounds and trauma, pointing out all the ways your parents wronged you. It’s comforting to know that there are really great moms out there, like my mom and Rhonda. And lest you find yourself criticizing your own parenting, this is worth a read.
