I would not believe them either. Suddenly talking on the phone to real people is starting to sound less bad. (And I really hate talking on the phone to people.)

There is a reason they waited till now to drop the bump stock thing. They need them back legal before November.

Going to just put in ear plugs and stare at this rose for the next 6 months or so. Here is a large hibiscus with a tiny duck.

Used to be the former, but am now the latter except for the Tiger Balm. Ear plugs feature frequently as a 4th item though. Now if I could just find a small, preferably hands free, bag I was happy with, things would be golden.

My 10yo used the word "disproportionate" today and I told her to prepare herself for a world where adults whine that she is using big words just to make them feel stupid. Because that world already exists.

I just watched 14 tiptoe into the dining room (where the roomba thing lives), freeze, and then pounce on it with both hands like he was trying to catch a wild animal. It was on its base and not moving. I have some questions.

I still think it is one of the most wonderful short stories. Up there with "Love, Your Only Mother" by David Kaplan. A beautiful example of how you don't need a whole novel to tell a vivid story. Just not sure kid me fell into "ideal target audience".

This story has always stuck with me. As a 7th grader being beaten regularly, my reactions to the ending were... clearly not what my teacher had expected. I think I traumatized her asking why the woman still believed anyone would help and not just watch. And why were my classmates crying about it?

I would like a little less of Vinny's interesting. Big fan of boring.

He's so handsome! He's just testing your current stress levels. The planter is fabulous. Another one of your creations?

I am fine taking off my shoes, honestly I prefer it, but please tell me if your house is kept at sub arctic temps because I will need socks. Or have blankets. All of me will probably be cold anyway.

I just burst out laughing so hard! (And after feeling under the weather for a couple days, that felt so good.) Oh to be a fly on that wall! But was she a good audience member?

Have asked for several weeks if something in the way of a short speech needs to be prepared for an event happening tonight. No direct answer. Just now have been asked to have about a 3 minute speech ready. The event is in less than 2 hours. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

He has been named "Noods". Because teenage boys have jokes.

Tis the season for an uptick in stalker activity. Oh yay. If I'm lucky, only another 30 years.

Why are stalkers like they are. Just go away and find a real hobby.

I recently posted a thing about my daughter blending flour into whipped egg for cake batter *by hand*. As in, hands in the batter. Someone commented on kids being literal. So I added a photo of the instructions from the culinary school cookbook- that included photos of hands in the batter.

We need to return to sitcoms having 22 episode seasons because thatโ€™s how you get episodes with plots like โ€œThe girls discover Rose has been addicted to opioids for 30 years. Also, Dorothy and Sophia star in an ad for a pizza restaurant.โ€

Terrance Williams Design has a gorgeous 3D floral duster that he occasionally has available for custom order. If it isn't currently open on his site, there are fab IG photos. He is a beautiful queer black artist that creates wonderful, joyful wearable art.

Schools already do this to students with their AI plagiarism software. And teachers aren't trained to think for themselves once it is flagged.

We are through ep 4 and my daughter (10) is so attached to it in... weird ways? Like, she points out to her dad that for her these things are normal with some heavy undertones of pointing out where he isn't seeing how she is having a hard time.
