Happy birthday odango! I’m sorry to hear about your med troubles. I hope that you’re able to keep feeling better with the exercises. Maybe you can set reminders on your phone to help keep track of the days?

I love this Russell’s Teapot theory.

Happy Saturday sparkly! How are ya?

The Great on hulu (I think?) is excellent.  Billions is also quite good.

Yep, really. You cannot compare the numerous frivolous lawsuits and challenges across multiple states to the legitimate concerns over the Florida ballots in 2000*.

I kinda read it as “I’m not a Wahlberg”.

Ooh I like the breathing room one and I may borrow this thought to meditate on later. I’ve really gotten in tune with what I want- or more accurately, I’ve realized that I can want things. I am going to be focused on making my habits healthier in an effort to get more in tune with what my goals and desires are. Happy…

There have been audits. And court cases. And recounts. They’ve found nothing of consequence and it is time to move on. It is not like the republicans will accept anything but their narrative so really, what’s the point? It’s like a little kid that wants one more story and one more drink of water. Enough. It’s time for…

When I had an ultrasonic humidifier I found that saturating a rag in vinegar and wrapping it around the element was the only way to keep the vinegar in contact with the crust long enough to soften it.

It is absolutely unfathomable.

The link says there’s no obituary available?

I just want to put this out there— If we’re talking about revolution, let’s aim higher and dream even bigger. Universal childcare, yes! Let’s not stop there though. Let’s take the spirit of attaining better symbiosis between family and work and apply it everywhere- labor laws, healthcare, workplace culture, personal…

So this is nearly me. I spent til 8 years old in my mom’s part of the US and then moved to my dad’s (completely different) region. I am unlike the natives of either place but I fit in better in the area I spent the later years in. I don’t speak or act much like the folks from my mom’s area. That said, when I visit;…

Oh yeah, I get that. I am a New England expat and folks in Canada introduce me as their friend “from Boston”. I am ok with that but I do think there’s a big distinction between saying “from Boston” for geographic purposes as opposed to identifying yourself as a “Bostonian”— especially using the “I’m a different kind…

OMG yes.

I confess I know nothing about Majorca.

I have resisted commenting on this for days but I cannot stand it anymore.

I would like this to be copied and pasted EVERYWHERE.

It is so refreshing to read an article that does not fetishize nurses as larger than life angels or super-heroes. We are human beings. The deification stuff becomes a mind fuck. It denies you permission to be tired, scared, frustrated. I was on hiatus when this all broke out (thank you burnout). There’s a mix of guilt…

Bra-vo!
