I thought we had come to the Home Depot to replace the metal numbers on my mother’s mailbox. But the problem we bring is not the problem we leave with. We walk down an aisle full of toilets, sinks, and light switches. Inexplicably, we are soon considering a patio repaving. And then new carpet for my brother’s bedroom, and a garage conversion. At the Home Depot, home improvement dreams begin to look like a matter of elbow grease and the right YouTube video.

There are numerous reasons why my wife and I decided to have kids, like learning what it means to be parents, and providing an idyllic childhood that we lacked ourselves. But none mattered as much as procreating so we could blow off our single friends, particularly Jeff.

There is no better excuse to gradually recede from the guy who will never get his shit together. I have a child to care for, so no, Jeff, I can’t call you back, or come to the bar, or hear about the used-bookstore girl who dumped you. I must feed and clothe and bathe a helpless human life, and no longer have the time to do any of that for you.

Thank you, Maria (Comments welcome, as with any other […]

Drupal effectively has two default administration themes: Claro for core, and Gin for Drupal CMS. This causes difficulty for UX designers and product managers, because new features must work well with both themes.

Gin is no longer an experimental fork of Claro to experiment with new ideas. It has matured into a state-of-the-art admin theme, while Claro has fallen behind, as evident by the decision to use Gin as the admin theme for Drupal CMS. As a result, we feel it is time for Gin to become the default theme for Drupal core.

We are aspiring to have this work completed by November 2025 in order to get Gin into core for the release of 11.3 in December.

Drupal core will adopt Gin admin theme to replace Claro
