You meet some of the nicest people, and you can sleep with a clear conscience, which is probably better for your skin. Also the protest signs are really clever.

Oh man, enjoy the library! Love the mid century modern style of the library and old houses of Abilene.

It’s too hot. Pretty sure “dinner” is going to be the chips and salsa and gin and soda I am currently calling “happy hour.”

This all day. C- or D grade and feedback along the lines of “this would be so much better in your own voice and if it included some of the examples we discussed in class”

So many Houston dogs have this story. Great dog, dumped for divorce/money/moved/cuter puppy/etc. She is lucky to have found you so quickly. Praying the potential adopters work out.

My corgi did this, too! I got pretty good at patching drywall during her puppy/teen years.

I'm a literal journalist who has lived through a lot of history. The way you "send a message" is through organizing, protesting, voting in primaries, advocating, donating, not donating, etc. What you do on presidential-election day is CHOOSE WHO WILL BE IN POWER. It's not for messaging.

The $7 two pack of fridge/freezer thermometers let us know when the last fridge was dying. Now sitting in the new fridge and freezer for peace of mind at a glance.

Halloween bowl of mini Twix bars, pooped wrappers for days. Box of crayons, poop had multicolored flecks. Sliced white bread along with pieces of the bag. Half a tray of brownies. So many things…

Excited to share my new publication at Political Behavior on Americans who identify as rural but don't live in rural areas. Such 'non-rural rural identifiers' hold similar group-based affect, values, & political tendencies as those living in rural areas. (1/3) link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I appreciated @adamkotsko.bsky.social's piece, and he gives us a lot to ponder. But beyond standardized testing, the rise of charters and corresponding evisceration of public ed, the chasm btwn what happens in rich vs poor schools...we're seeing decades' worth of chickens coming home to roost, tbh

Kroger and H‑E‑B. The stores seem to rotate the coupons on the major brands.

That is high. It is $8.16 in TX, but I can usually find a coupon for 3 12-packs for $15 (or less)in the grocery store app, as long as I am not fussed between Coke, Dr Pepper or Pepsi products.

Hey Americans, feeling politically powerless? You have an election tomorrow. Fascists are targeting those boring state and local positions and using them for everything from abortion restrictions to book bans to criminalizing trans healthcare. It's up to you to stop them.
