I love that your pole looks like my favorite titanium earrings from 1989. Also β€” impressive core. πŸ’ͺ🏻 since there is no abs/back emoji!

can’t decide if the β€œadult content” is tits, thigh, or little fat rolls. Probably all of it.

In case you aren't familiar with NAWP, the whole thing started because we're busy teachers/parents, so things come up for us all the time. This is, or better or worse, 100% normal NAWP. Thanks for your flexibility, and we'll see you an hour later than originally planned on Thursday! NAWP!

If every stall was accessible, we wouldn’t have this issue, and my workshop wouldn’t have had to wait for me. Then people who just want more space in a stall could have it without taking up valuable space needed by people who NEED it, or NEED the bars.

Today at school I went to FOUR different bathrooms in my building before finding one that didn’t have a person just hanging out chatting on their phone in the ONE accessible stall each room has. (Well the staff toilet is an independent bathroom but someone was on the phone in there too.)

I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link!

I kept remembering him in that first season of The White Lotus (the only one I've wanted to watch) and thought how he just carried that energy into All Her Fault and made it worse.

I really enjoyed it -- not sure it accomplished what the writers hoped but it's definitely a subtle attack on every single kind of parenting. I was ready to yeet Jake Lacy's character through the window, and started shipping Sarah Snook and Elle Fanning almost immediately.

Our editor @dusti.bsky.social will be reading at this along with some other very Not At AWP people!

Thanks! It has been 8 days. If we don’t have an answer by the end of the week, we’ll let you know.

for the litmag folks here (will repost on my @delicatezine.bsky.social account): do you number issues individually or by volume/year & issue? Is there a reason you chose that? Have you switched cataloguing models before?

hey hey ME TOO! I find the non-attachment skills helpful when I have to wait in line or all the fruit is rotten. But my real wild heart has been my savior! ❀️

I always get serious flu-like symptoms during withdrawal from certain meds and cannot imagine the hell of that happening on an airplane, in an airport, or in a hotel.

Since canceling my trip to AWP, I’ve been scheduled to substitute teach in my classmates’ classes. I was a sub in N-12 for YEARS so I consider this a resume-building moment. Y’all go by the McNeese Review table and tell my friends & professors HI! And tell them that I am REALLY COOL.

Awww I have seen this guy in person several times. Wyoming has great dinosaurs. But weird that there is a β€œhot market” for dinosaur skeletons.

just found out a really sweet, kind acquaintance (and the beat friend since middle school of one of my nearest and dearest) (55, male) has lymphoma. No knowledge on level, treatability, etc yet.He has been though a lot lately and this news for him really really sucks.

I cant go out tonight, but sounds like I should leave very early for work in the morning and fill up while I still have half a tank.

for two summers (24 and 25) I was on the admin staff of a new play festival that brought people in from all over the world. There have been changes and I’m not going back this year, but it will be hard to match in terms of cool!
