Whatever you need, man.

Toby perches on my knee and makes me hold up his rear end so he can look out the window.

A day of close-to-home tourism. Rowing on the Mississippi then exploring Minnehaha Falls then eating at the Minneapolis staple Sea Salt, then riding surrey bicycles at Minnehaha Park, then a Saint Paul Saints game. I love Minnesota.

A perfectly normal serving of ice cream.

I’m taking a photo of ice cream piled at least three giant scoops over the top of a cup, a big grin on my face and a plastic spoon in my mouth

I smile, holding the ice cream in front of me.

Music festival this weekend, so naturally I made myself an app that finds the Apple Music Essentials playlist for every artist on the lineup and combines them into one. Built entirely in @BitrigApp... from the code to the App Store screenshots to the App Review submission. 🚀

The name Minnesota comes from the Dakota "Mni Sóta Makoce," which means "sky-tinted water" or "the land where the water reflects the skies." Truth in naming tonight at Como Park.

Duluth. Oh how I love Lake Superior.

A book is open and I have my feet up on the wall that overlooks Lake Superior and the Lift Bridge.

The only patriotic post you'll find me making today

A painting of the midnight ride of paul review. Paul yells “the British are coming!” A guy sticks his head out of a house window in a nightcap and says “unlike your wife.” Paul says “fuck you, Nathaniel.” The guy says “well don’t fucking wake people up paul.”

I'm not proud of my country (quite the opposite.) But I am so, so proud of my state! And I love that our new state flag has become of symbol against fascism. So. It's a 4th of July manicure. But make it Minnesota flag colors.

My hand extended, each fingernail is a light blue, dark blue, or ombré of white/blue.

Saturday Big Boat Day was a lot of fun! A nice, tight 32 SPM rowing port in an 8+ is just about my favorite way to spend a morning.

Toby got a new bandana at Minneapolis Pride today.

I did a SPORTS.

It's my bestie's birthday today and so we did our traditional OrangeTheory early morning birthday burn workout. Did I make Jell-O shots but with pre-workout and amino acids instead of alcohol for the occasion? I did.

A tray of 35 Jell-O shots, some dark burgundy, others more rosy red

I'm teaching some people how to spin this weekend and so I got my first ever spinning wheel out and oiled her up. Her name is "Kiwi." She's such an amazing old friend! And so tiny and easy to use compared with the wheel I default to today (whose name is "Elizabeth.")

An upright castle style spinning wheel with two treadles that has red wool started on it. In the background, a large saxony wheel sits.

My first WWDC as a third-party developer! Some highlights so far! I had an amazing time at the RevenueCat Bashcade connecting with friends and old coworkers! And it was such an honor to be asked to speak at the WWDCWomen Get Together Breakfast. I met such inspiring women!

Bring it on, 40's.

I’m laying on a chair reading a book by a pool

I was so overwhelmed I took almost no photos. But today was simply the best 40th birthday I could have ever asked for! It started by having early morning pancakes alone with my book and ended with 30 friends and family helping me celebrate. How lucky am I!

A group of four women wearing colorful dresses smile

A sugar cookie in the shape of a mix tape that says, “Betsy’s 40th bday mix”

A group of a dozen or so people smile at the camera

The problem with 2026 is that you can't even eat a donut without feeling like you're being watched.

Toby watches carefully as I hold a donut that has been given frosting eyes and a cookie mouth.

I guess I'll be switching from tabs to spaces for the foreseeable future.

Toby dozes near my laptop, his head completely covering the tab button.

I had too much caffeine and talked at length about my spinning wheels this weekend. Even though I usually save spinning for fall/winter, I felt like doing some today. (Sound on for the happy sounds of the spinning wheel.)

Them: "What did you do with your Saturday night?" Us: "Super normal things."

I'm not a ballistics type of person, but shooting the "apple cannon" at old demo derby cars and watching gnarly, misshapen apples explode was way more fun than I expected.

I’m hunched over a giant “cannon” that is pointed toward rusted out cars
