Pronounce but I think i had fewer than I might have had if not for her helping to connect what I was hearing with what I was reading.
Agreed! Also my mom used to read to me as a kid & she would point at every word when she read it so I could learn to connect to way the word sounded with the way it was written, which i think was very helpful for me. I had a few words i had read a lot & knew the meaning of but didn't know how to
No shit!!
That's actually better & way more fun to say
100% agree! Ms. Piggy is a real housewife if I've ever seen one
Please tell Sandal that I love him
I thought the name Penelope was "penna-lope" & couldn't imagine why anyone would name their kid that dumb name
I always like to think about what movie I would want remade with all Muppets but keeping one human actor in their original role & they have to play it straight. So many amazing options
Gorgeous as always!
100%
The least trustworthy thing an adult can do is pronounce "mature" like "muh-TOUR" instead of "muh-TCHURE."
Getting so tired of these royal degrees that have absolutely no legal effect.
Me too!
I love things like this! My mom got me a sewing bird about 10 years ago & I love it bc it's incredibly helpful while I'm sewing but also pretty & elegant
The butterfly is part of the Linda Ford Wallace collection, which also has cat-themed notions. The last three photos show cat-shaped pin cushions. cc: @catsofyore.bsky.social IG tatterbluelibrary and elliotrockart
Who asked for this???
That was a beautiful moment
maybe instead of pressuring RFK to resign we should just start leaving heaps of enticing road kill near his home
Every single mayor in the US needs to do this. Of course the Trumpsuckers won't, but everyone with a "D" after their name AT LEAST needs to.
DISPLEASED
Came here to say the same lol
Trump supporters are very angry this morning about people making jokes on social media after many years of telling the rest of us to have a sense of humor and don't take everything so seriously.
live your life in such a way that millions of people don’t joyfully await your demise
My dad is getting in today from NC & i have so much shit I need to do still before he gets here around 230 but I'm just lying on my couch like a slug
The absurdity of requiring people to maintain calm and peaceful presence when confronted by the level of coercive power modern day law enforcement has is astounding. The science contradicts it. Human decency contradicts it. But courts dgaf
Can literally write in their report, "I saw a Hispanic male driving & i decided to stop him bc I think Hispanic people commit crimes & I don't like them and also they had an object suspended from the rear view mirror" and the law is like, "oh well, then, do your thing, officer racism!"
The law very much does not gaf about the very real power imbalance, corruption, or literal ability to kill the driver btwn an officer & a citizen. Same with pretextual stops - why tf are those fine as long as they can come up with any bullshit reason for the stop other than "not white driver"? They
MN case law says nervousness on its own isn't suspicious unless it's wildly beyond what would be normal, which is at least a little something. A few judges I've seen lately have explicitly said in rulings that a POC, esp black men, have every reason to be more nervous than typical. But on the whole
Not sure if I should laugh or cry or both because the instructor at this traffic stop CLE described a person as suspicious because they were "palms sweaty, mom's spaghetti."
I agree & I wouldn't be surprised if that's the next move
My dark prediction was/is that they'll round up immigrants & house them in their new concentration camps, then force them to work their former jobs but now without any pay.
They want you to see this as a stupid way to do gardening rather than as what it is, which is getting used to seeing the military around you in daily life. They’re still a grave danger to you, no matter what they’re doing right now
We need much more of this! @jenrobey.bsky.social
It's contract negotiation time, where we are reminded even more just how much our employer wants to screw us over.
Still cannot get over the fact that Mary J Blige was not singing about a dancery
Yeah i only have the reminders for a few that are time sensitive but other than that, i rely on the widget too!
I was briefly excited that Dove had refillable metal containers for deodorant but then I saw all the deodorant refills were without aluminum. I'm too smelly for that. Same with toothpaste tabs - they all are the kind without Fluoride. I want Fluoride, but not a plastic container.
I am really hoping that at some point in time, major national brands will create options for refillable, non plastic containers. I would pay a bit extra to be able to take my glass or metal container to my local store & refill my Dawn dish soap or whatever. I want regular products w/o plastic.
Yeah! Give that a shot, that's been a game changer for me. Esp for doctors appt that don't let me schedule the next one before I leave. I just pop in a goal 2 months or so before I'll need the appt to schedule the appt & boom, I don't forget! I'm way more on top of stuff now than before.
A marriage expecting to be divorced - I definitely didn't, I was in it to the end but he decided he wasn't. But if I ever get married again, I'm just gonna keep my name & not add his at all, bc if I need to undo it in the future, it's such a gd hassle.
Everyone wanted proof. Esp the places that I just went by first name married name, without my original name included. It's been like 13 years since we got divorced & i still get shit with his last name on it. Which is whatever now but for awhile, it was a sad reminder. Not that anyone goes into
I did two last names, no hyphen, so i could use either or both as my legal name. Used my name at work, married name personally. It worked fine & was very easy to do the switch. Until I got divorced. Then I needed like 8,000 copies of the divorce order with just my name on it again bc
A sieve - things go in & immediately go back out. And i put birthdays in there as a "goal" to wish so & so a happy bday. I have more success using it like that vs a daily thing bc I snooze a lot of them too!!
I use it a lot to help me remember stuff, like when I know i am going to need to cancel a free trial of something on X date, I set a "goal" to cancel it that pops up on that date. Or reminding myself to call the pharm to refill something a few days in advance. That's been helpful bc my brain is
Ahh more Finch folks!
With all due respect, this country already experienced four years of Trump, witnessed him attempt a self-coup, and yet he won again through the popular vote. I’ve spent 7 months watching Dems I voted for confirm Trump’s nominees. This country is beyond redemption and nobody is coming to save us.
ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?
from the bottom of a box of wine somewhere jeanine pirro screeches like a barn owl
free idea: an app that makes a phone throw itself at a wall whenever a politician who's done nothing to stop mass shootings types out “thoughts and prayers”
It's so truly horrible
Thank you! 😁
Jacob Frey sucks but he fucking nailed it with this: "Don't talk about thoughts & prayers. These kids were literally praying - they were at mass." #Minneapolis #Mpls
I'm so sorry you're right in the middle of it so close. Just being in MN, I'm sick & I am lucky enough to not know anyone & to have distance from it. Take care of yourself & each other. 💔
Absolutely heartbreaking. I don't know how we accept this as a society. Even if a particular child isn't injured, how much did they see & hear? How significant is the PTSD going to be? How do these children ever go back to school again? Or even just normal kids? Why are we okay with this?
Having an extremely hard time focusing on work this morning bc I'm feeling sick. Feels like a kick in the stomach, esp bc we all know that absolutely nothing will happen to prevent the next one.
That guy can get fucking bent.
Also wasn't that the word Orwell's 1984 used for its govt departments? Been a bit since I read it but that sounds familiar.
He's not even trying to mask his intent.
The stats on trial success correlated to pre trial success really call into question whether there can be justice in a system that doesn’t allow pre trial release or makes it even harder
I fucking love him. You want someone who really says what people think? This guy does it.
WHYYYYYYYYY can't he just die already?!?!
Ironically, pretrial release of one criminal defendant in particular is substantially responsible for where we are today.
So counterproductive and, frankly, stupid Cashless bail reduces crime. Pretrial incarceration causes more crime than pretrial detention prevents Also, why should only people with money have access to mercy? www.axios.com/2025/08/25/t...
I've decided I am going to be zombie Jessica Rabbit for Halloween this year
Thank you! I find it very relaxing bc it requires minimal thinking. Picture is already decided, paint colors already decided, I just gotta fill in the spaces & then tada! Cool looking paintings!
Fucking Snoop...
Making progress on my latest paint by number. I really like how it's turning out.
I absolutely hate that so many places are doing this now. The target by me puts Excedrin behind glass!!!
I've had a folding elliptical in the box for about a month since I bought it on sale Amazon Prime day but it has a weight limit that I was still over, which is why it has been in the box. UNTIL TODAY!!! Finally dropped below the weight limit & got to break it out! #Zepbound is a miracle
I mean, why isn't this front page news?? It's so fucking funny!
Q: You're literally saying she put Arby's in her pants? A: I'm saying she literally put Arby's in her pants. Yes. Q: You're not making a slur about her? A: No. Q: You're literally saying she put an Arby's sandwich in her pants, is that right? A. Yes. That's correct. That's correct.
Ok has anyone else seen the unhinged Laura Loomer deposition transcript where she tries to argue that referring to the "Arby's in [MTG's] pants" was bc MTG loves roast beef so much that she stores actual, literal Arby's roast beef sandwiches in her pants? I would have laughed so fucking hard
If we can only get every conservative person in this country to be personally affected by negative things, maybe we can actually have nice things.
Big blow for the Notre Dame “brawling in the parking lot” team
they hate me because im so cool. they can tell by the sunglasses
FACTORY INSTALLED
Repost with a tweet you still think about I randomly think about this and start giggling
The app i use for working out has real fitness trainers & one of them talks about having a masters in gerentology & making exercise accessible to everyone of all ages. She's got a specialty program on there called AgeWell. She made a very smart career choice@
just looked up “fuckin vulgar” in @merriam-webster.com and

..power pose..✨
This is so tacky
Definitely a little baby
Done doing anything for the rest of the day bc that activity was enough to cause the tenderness & pain to rear its ugly head again. This is the worst illness, I can't believe how hard it hits! I'm so close to the end though...
My guts are angry & painful again bc I'm sure that's not a recommended activity when you're still not fully past the norovirus symptoms. But I didn't have a choice - I live alone & the box couldn't keep sitting in the living room (which was as far as I could get it into my house on Friday). I'm
I needed to just get the entire box out to the garbage in the alley, since I couldn't let it keep sitting in the living room. Meat juice was starting to leak out from the cardboard box. So I had no choice but to lift it & carry it out to the garbage in the alley, then clean up the floor. So now
Well, the gut pain had mostly subsided as of this morning, although the fatigue was still kicking my ass. I managed to get up enough energy to shower & then I HAD to deal with the Hello Fresh box of rotting food in the living room that arrived on Friday, when I could barely move bc everything hurt.
What?
Sadly the Trump genes are strong with that one & his facial features show he's a trump. Idk if he's Donald's but he's in that genetic line.
I don't even like football but I like the vikings for this!
Exactly!
I am glad to hear it! The quality seems to have gone down sadly.
Also telling on himself with his giant bejeweled wedding band in his photos & he manages to be the first ever cat owning man I've ever found repulsive due to his weird ass way of describing his cat & his relationship with his cat
Men like this are on these dating apps telling on themselves. Sorry you're a loser who can't sustain a friendship with a woman -- oh I'm sorry, a GIRL ‐‐ but I'm pretty sure that's a you problem.
I've flown frontier once & it was a fucking disaster. Never again
Sooo annoying. Being a good author doesn't mean being a good narrator!
