Ugh. 100% would wear this. Like, today. To the grocery store.
“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind
The truth of the matter is that if anyone but Charlie Kirk had been killed at today’s shooting, then Charlie Kirk would be out there right now using the shooting as pretext to deliver arguments designed to make sure that the next shooting would happen, and the next one, and the next, and the next.
The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...
And a Minecraft live soon.
I'm not saying Etsy witches killed Charlie Kirk, but....
Ok, but did you actually read the Jezebel article. 👀
Girl lunch.
$500 for a whole 2-bedroom townhouse in Raleigh in 2003.
Finishing my Downton Abbey re-watch, and mad at everyone throwing Henry at Mary, considering how that ended up in the last movie.
Look at that tongue. 😻
You're the second person I've seen recommend it.
I'm asking because, yes, I will 100% wear this (if it's not AI art).
What do we think, friends. Is this AI art? It's from a reputable company. 🤔
Crying in Social Scientist.
I expect that kind of thing in Medford or Somerville, but Cambridge? 🫢
I've been listening to ELO today while I sew, and wow. Their first album is something.
Hmm. Seems like a good day to back away from the Internet and resume my sewing....
SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool
There's a Cary? 🤨
I took care of myself today.
Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.
My teen is currently on discord with two friends, and they're all streaming Silk Song to each other and chatting, and it's so wholesome. 🥰
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
My brain saw a flaming boat and skyscraper.
Every single time I hear "Department of War."
Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.
Go get it!
being trans is not a negative outcome and neither is being autistic

I called today (which genuinely surprised my spouse because I am one of those people who hates phone calls) and the pharmacy said they couldn't tell me anything because the appointment was through Minute Clinic. They have no direct line, and the general Minute Clinic # she gave me was useless.
Ugh. I have a bad feeling it's going to be a waste of time and I will not be as congenial as you were. I don't want to drag my family out to be *exposed* in a CVS in the first place, but it was the only place I could find with appointments.
The official list, in case anyone reading this needs receipts: www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/cl...
Was your appointment through the minute clinic? We have ours in NC scheduled tomorrow and they are only booking through the minute clinic, so I'm hoping that means they will have a doctor to "sign off." Everyone in our family has risk factors on the official list (including one of us with asthma).
It is. 🙄
Can confirm. Autistic moms use more Tylenol because we always have a raging headache from dealing with RFK Jr.'s bullshit.
I'm just sitting here after dropping my kid off at school--in the car, in the garage--because I'm too tired to walk inside.
Right. They're spending money to shift the risks off to other women.
She really thinks she has anything worth offering to the world that only she possesses.
And yet, we don't let people sell organs. I feel like banning surrogacy would fall under a similar umbrella.
In this story, it would have been me doing the punching if my spouse hadn't moved us along down the street after I'd told the guy off.
One Halloween, some Boomer in our neighborhood decided it would be funny to jump out from behind his dark garage with a rubber mask on in front of my kid and his friend as they walked away from getting their candy. Made my 10yo cry, and then came up to us not to apologize but justify his actions.
Yeah, we flew this summer (the rates were much lower than they are now) and still masked strictly in the airport and plane, but did allow ourselves food and found mostly empty spaces to eat it in. Wouldn't have been able to do 9hr flight plus airports without it! 😫
Say more, please. 👀
Yeah, there's got to be jobs and stores and whatnot to support people, but around here we have tons of those, but little affordable housing. People should be able to get a place to live in the same community where they work.
A guy at Wegmans tried to give me his phone number today. He told me I had beautiful eyes and asked if I was seeing anyone. I was like, "Um, I'm married, but I'll take it as a compliment." This literally never happens to me. 😆
I saw them on that tour! And also the year before. I've seen Ben solo probably about a dozen times. Just a little bit of a fan girl. :-D
(Mine would be a Ben Folds Five reunion.)
They just played a free concert at a park near me!
Wasn't there a Michael Douglas movie like this in the 90s?
My mom said she would build tiny home neighborhoods.
This is a thing? 😯
We get them one week a year in our grocery stores on the east coast, and I always have to remind my teen not to eat too many in one sitting. 😂
I found out because he accidentally had a book delivered to the house from Amazon after he moved, and it was RFK Jr.'s anti-Fauci screed. My spouse made me throw it in the garbage before I could read any of it so I wouldn't stroke out from rage.
I wish I could tell the previous owner of our house, who was an anesthesiologist and RFK Jr. disciple, that his house is now inhabited by Autistic vaccine apologists.
Offit is basically the Anti-RFK Jr
September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.
Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.
Meanwhile in grad school to try out science lessons for elementary schoolers using LEGO, I had to get human subject research approval to ensure there was no risk of harm. 🙄
Maybe she missed it because secret service wouldn't let her. :(
Update: I have an appointment in three weeks to see the book. 😍
It's ketamine, not ketamyhorses
My August Tidal review. The first two are 100% me. The second two are driving in car with teen (Deltarune and Pizza Tower soundtrack), the last is driving in car with my mom.
merry allston christmas
Teen did very well, didn't complain once and got to chat with his dad about D&D for the whole drive time. ☺️
Thanks, everybody. I survived the 5 hours of driving and salvaged 4 tubs of toys and mementos from my childhood (and a few from my brother's). And I only cried once! I have eaten and showered, and I'm ready to crash. 🫠
Yeah, I don't know all the math on it either, but the books had a shelf life of 7 or so years, but then you have to figure each student needs them for 6-8 classes a year. One Chromebook sees them through all of high school. With my kid's disability, he does better typing than writing, so it's great.
Thankfully, whether I feel like I deserve it or not, I've got my whole family coming to help--spouse for heavy lifting and getting dirty, mom for emotional support, and teen because we didn't want to leave him at home. 😂
Well, they don't spend money on textbooks anymore.
Yeah, I just started in the last two years. I've been taking classes, so that's boosted my confidence, I think. I'm lazy, but mockups are the key, imo.
Ugh, I don't know. I've never done this without 1) draping the pattern on the body, or 2) starting from an existing pattern and fitting it in muslin. Either way, it takes just making a mockup to sort it out.
I have do something today that touches some trauma from 20 years ago, and is going to trigger all my OCD. Prayers and vibes appreciated.
My kid's district, all the middle and high schoolers have personal Chromebooks. He just got a new one as a 9th grader. They even get to keep them over the summer (which is good for kids with limited access, but we have 8+ computers in our house).
They can go ahead and put me and my child on the list. Come at me, bro, I'm not hiding. 💪
Everything's fucked. Going to play Sims.
There's an Electric Ave in Medford. My landlord lived there, so every month when I mailed my rent check....
And shame on NPR for only giving three paragraphs of rebuttal to a middle school teacher, not pushing back on the bullshit this guy is spewing with facts, and not consulting any experts in the field. They're valuing his ignorance at $2 Billion. Where's my money?
Dear God. I'm begging this man to take a cognitive psychology or child development class. I feel like my PhD specialty was specifically crafted to refute his vision.
I got to Seduction & Disappointment and finally lost it.
My mom grew up in Colorado, so I know she prefers the lack of humidity there. 😆
They do have very grabby hands. 🤔
Ha, he was our school district superintendent for a while. Boggles the mind.
Is the opossum the mechanic or the problem? 🤔
I kinda feel the same here in NC. We've already had one Fake Fall, but the temps here aren't supposed to be above 85 for the foreseeable future. I dunno, maybe those temps are just normal and I've gotten used to the new extreme weather. 😳
Let's see you at 21
Dune meme.
HR department:
And even then he was willing to risk drugging his granddaughters so he could lie about it.
Oh yeah, my spouse's whole friend group was targeted by teachers and administrators for this. Just because they liked angsty music and wore dark clothes. Most of them ended up being lawyers or software engineers. So dangerous.
While also running the risk of drugging his granddaughters. And also getting caught. 🙄
But my kid would be right at home in your sample population. He thinks AI is pointless for school work, and he wants to be an artist, so it's a direct threat to his future livelihood.
My 14yo (Freshman) came home today and said he watched the kid in front of him in Honors World History type their questions into ChatGPT instead of getting the answers from the lecture slides, as intended. My kid thought this was a lot of extra work just for fill-in-the-blank words.
My cold and well considered take on generative text AI: I don’t want to take the time to read what nobody took the time to write
I wish I could just pay the tariff. Most of the places overseas I buy from simply aren't shipping to the US anymore.
His phone, however, did not survive.
Not a great day, but kid and I survived, so I told him it was a win.
I'm curious how you would accommodate students with disabilities that rely on technology.
