I wonder, sometimes, if we'll be able to tell if she develops dementia.

Cheaper than a ceiling fan?
"America has become a country where armed officers of the state shout “Papers please!” on the street at men and women heading home from work"
Me either!
OH, I KNOW.
I just won my saving throw against buying one for myself again, for the second time THIS WEEK. I wish my luck was this good with mega millions tickets.
Squishmallows are my absolute kryptonite. They push every single one of my cute buttons, plus all my stuffed animal buttons (I was a child addict), plus I adore the feel of 'em.
Are you proud of this hostile hospitality?
Just had some doorknocker come through saying they were with the Democratic Party and then hand us a flyer telling us to vote for Jacob Frey. Excuse me?
The gem in question: www.instagram.com/p/DNV1SORx1sr
My favorite local gem cutter posted a fresh Winza sapphire and I nearly posted "that looks like my bruise!" before I decided that was too weird even for me. But it does. Galaxies in these things.
They do not have one, yet, but are apparently "on it."
3 bad cats and 1 good one.
It's so dang charming.
And put me into physical therapy for four months. Stupid switch.
Success! Now, if anyone asks if any of y'all if you can name a living scientist, keep this name in your back pocket!
Dissertation defense day for m'colleague, Jovany Betancourt! "Investigating the host-pathogen characteristics of latent Cryptococcus neoformans infection."
Thanks!!!
Do not tell us more.
It's no good to mention it without filling people in!!!
My condolences.
Oh nooooo! They're perfect!
Absolutely. "Science" is really easy to equate with "elitism" when people don't know what it entails, and they're counting on that.
Oh, don't worry, I'm concerned.
Cormorant
Ketamine, not meaning.
Also, they still won't give me my intranasal meaning back, so they can eff right off.
I agree.
It does sound like "the final solution," though.
Nope.
Does the new name start with The R?
GODDAMMIT.
You are *all* the cutest!!!
Ugh. Families.
Sending peace and love to you and your family.
OMG, please be chatty at me, I'm twiddling my thumbs today!
The worst part about moving home to be near family is that it didn't bring my aunt back from the dead.
This is how I get away with telling people the tattoo across my shoulders means "learn Latin, stupid." I wish I couldn't...
From an astronomical perspective, 12 AM is just as wrong. The sun is neither 'ante' nor 'post meridian,' it is precisely 'in meridian.'
He's used to not breathing well, this is nothing compared to his weak trachea. You're the weak link on this walk, hooman.
I know, right? I don't understand this fakey surprise when they do things they literally told you they were going to do.
It's a real pea souper out there.
When we moved back to MN in June, it struck me how many fences and other forms of aggressive architecture/passive-aggressive neglect of public spaces there were and how that didn't look like Minneapolis to me.
Endometrial ablation.
That's not what they like about owning a team. They like the money, and getting to break Avery's heart.
We don't need *checks notes* pitchers in baseball!
I'm so sorry, fren.
Well. I am simultaneously the Best Housemate and Worst Housemate. I referred L to Ginny's Fine Fabrics to cover a big gap between Mayo appointments... And then informed her that Treadle had closed.
I was today years old when I learned of the Bengal famine for the first time.
Shit, wait, is this why I'm so bad at cleaning my room and packing?
(also makes it look Latin, but wtf does "after from mayo" mean?)
Oh, yeah. And you don't even get to really pick- you submit a list of, like, half a dozen and they tell you which one you get.
I think "Post Ex Mayonnaise" would fly, though, and is 18 exactly.
Fuuuuck I love that band.
You're NAILING IT. Good job!!!
I'm going to rain on this parade and point out that it's too long.
I think that's the traditional method, yes.
Sweating lemonade.
Yum.
Reading fanfiction between innings because at least that way I know someone I'm rooting for is gonna score
Just discovered that Bona Vietnamese closed. Why did I even move back to this damn state?!
Edith doesn't quite understand pillows, but wants to join in.
That is a terrible thing, stretching backward and forward through time forever. I'm sorry you're getting hit with it.
Who could have foreseen this?!
He's so right! What a beautiful dad!!! I'm glad you got to celebrate him, as he celebrated you. I'm so sorry for your loss, though. That pain is awful.
action!France
Crud. Ran outta baseball.
Gratuitous shot for @haveapotato.bsky.social
The Cubs fans in front of us brought their own Cubs-branded peanuts. That's dedication.
Congrats to Joe Ryan's moustache for being named an all-star!
We've got baseball sign!
First post-cvg negative test...
Me tooooo! Monday basically didn't exist.
Well, if Princess Awesome & Boy Wonder don't sell a bunch of their new Godzilla dresses in Minnesota, it's not my fault. I think I've proselytized to 30-odd people who complimented my dress today.
I'm sorry, friend. Hope tomorrow's better!
Minnesota's New State flag and seal, and all the cool art submissions for them!
Just did both, don't recommend.
I'm stuck on the shorts. It's like a train wreck.
I have reached the "oh fuck. Fuck fuck fuckfuckfuck" stage of moving.
All because my parents and brother don't want to pick up their lives and move to rural Virginia. Sheesh.
Relatable, my friend. My last day is Wednesday, at the job I've been doing for a decade, with the best boss and mentor I've ever had.
Small(ish) Edith, earliest photo of Manny, and baby Ziggy.
RUDE.
That fucking sucks, I'm sorry. I did last Convergence with a freshly dislocated rib and yeah, that shit is connected to everything essential.
/me mashes the "heart" button
Now we get to the meat of the matter- you're a comedy snob! (That's totally fair, tbh)
(I also have some recent intense pessimism about anyone actually living their values.)
2,9, and I've got an extra vote so we'll keep 4 for you!
I knew one, through my cat rescue. She's not a cop anymore.
I'm on the Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society.
Who?
Thank you for your clarification. I can see how some people would like getting any dig they can in, because the people in power are too big to actually affect, but you're right that it isn't really us living our values.
I'm not Jewish, but this piece should speak to *everyone*.
And this. "I don’t think the people I grew up with singing songs in Hebrew meant the same things I meant when we sang them together."
To be clear, "the enemy within" is us, his constituents.
Or better, the provision of safe external storage.
This is the quote sitting in my clipboard right now.
I didn't understand why this bothers you so much, but I understand that it does. Do you mind if someone just says "that fuckwit in xyz office," because they didn't want to actually say their name, or is it primarily the "clever nickname" part you dislike?
The mascot for the WV Renaissance Festival is a unicorn-possum. #chefkiss
