What does “fighting for you with everything we’ve got” mean, exactly? The article just mentions a lot of stuff you want, not what you’re trying to do to accomplish any of it and/or slow down or stop all the erosion and destruction going on.

Fun fact, — was because the website was so old that it dated to a time when a lot of browsers couldn’t render actual em and en dashes, and once the browsers caught up there were so many double dashes on the site we just left it that way.

I wrote angrygrams to all my reps today and signed them all “sincerely” because “best” is when I mean”bye! Done with you, jerk!” and those reps are all still my reps I will have to write more letters to

@whipkclark.bsky.social Rep. Clark, this did not happen behind the scenes. It happened out in public. It was on the news. It was all over my Bluesky feed. This email contains *zero* about what you or any other Democrat are doing or trying to do in the face of it. Just a request for money. Seriously?

I saw some discourse but how bad google results are and someone was like “no, this is user error for not putting Reddit in the search” and, no, that is also a problem! There are some highly moderated subreddits that do good work but but it is not a substitute for functional search!

“Fighting like hell” how? What, concretely, are you doing to fight? Y’all’s social posts keep telling us things are bad (we know! I promise you we know that already) and saying you’re fighting but not saying how. As your consistent it’s aggravating.

Wild about how it goes on about hallucinations and errors and being no substitute for experience and expertise while also kicking off by saying it offers “significant opportunities to improve teaching and student learning.”

Yeah I was 47 or 48 with no prior history of abnormal mammograms but a family history (my mom, in her 60s, detected very early). Hopefully you’re able to get a second opinion.

It is deeply frustrating to feel like neither of my senators care that they are likely setting us up to have two very junior senators from MA at the same time. And I wish they’d post about literally anything concrete they are doing. It’s all just “look at this corruption and lawlessness.” WE KNOW

I got mono that really was mono and missed two weeks of school. Was so tired I had to keep the cordless phone in the chair with me to answer it when my mom called. Then when I went back I had to leave class before the bell because my spleen was swollen and they didn’t want me jostled in the hall.

I’m not exactly a historian, but I do need to read old documents periodically (when I’m writing a podcast episode and reading documents that are fairly obscure and not transcribed.) I’m 50 and know cursive, and old handwriting is still so hard to read! Knowing cursive only helps somewhat imo
Tracy V. Wilson (@tracyvwilson.bsky.social) reply parent
I volunteered to send postcards to incoming freshmen at my alma mater and asked around for opinions on whether they would know how to read cursive. (I printed them but signed my name in cursive.)

At my very first adult job, on my third day my manager said “I need to get something from my car” and she looked unwell to me so I offered to walk her out, and she started crying in the stairwell and then came in over the weekend to leave an effective-immediately resignation in her boss’s inbox

I went to a place in ATL that was so nice, with heated robes and soft music etc. (I know that’s not the vibe for everyone but I was into it). My current one is neutrally medical and everyone is very efficient and focused on getting you in and out as fast as possible. Also nice, in a different way

My practice doesn’t have these! I bring deodorant in my bag. I’ve been getting mammograms for about 12 years and the technology has improved in that time. I think my mom at my age 30 years ago had it way worse.

That episode made me wish Leverage was real. I have a family member who has been scammed twice (no deepfakes, more than a decade apart). You can count on law enforcement to do absolutely nothing. The money is gone, they’ll never get it back, the mental health impact is awful, and everyone is like 🤷
