that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it

anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love

What if Congress decided to go to work tomorrow? How many of us have worked weekend jobs or come in for a weekend when there's an emergency?

My kid(22yo) informs me they've started a weekly reading club with their friend at a coffee shop that looks like a library: they sit together & read silently.😍📖

People are actively choosing to live in ways that build connection/feed their souls.

This is how it happens,once small chg at a time.

Crow, American*** Description: Although their numbers were greatly reduced by West Nile virus, these easily identified birds are once again common throughout the year.

I mean, this is my (non-expert) observation, based on what I see nearby. I'll look for real data (or better anecdotal info lol.)

And huh, Chicago Botanic Garden says that they're "again common?" I'm a bit further west of CBG; we rarely see them in the yard.

I almost never see them here. Growing up here, we saw/heard them all the time.

I don't think the population ever recovered from the very first round of W. Nile.(I didn't live here then; a birder in the family would report when I visited.)

Today's sighting felt remarkable. I'll be on the lookout.

I saw a crow in the NW suburbs today! It has been a long time.

I'll look under every rock lol. Thank you.

In the story of Humpty Dumpty it is never said that he is an egg. However, it is never said that he is NOT an egg. This means that any character in ANY story could be an egg unless explicitly stated otherwise. Keep that in mind when you read a Jack Reacher novel

Thank you!!!

Ah! I will definitely check out Marianos maybe this weekend? or soon, for this bargain idea lol!

The pink and the font, kind of loveable branding.

It's time.

Colin, the comrade running the shelter-in-place food program I'm working at, told me that this week he's had to turn down asks from schools to supply food directly to their sheltering families. The reason? There's not enough money coming in for that amount of food.

Let's change that.

Just got a message from South High saying “We currently have requests totaling $33,965 for rent and we have $7500 available tomorrow. Please try to share the gofundme widely! Thanks”

Well, that simply will not do. I'll match the first $900. Please help my fellow South High families if you can! 🖤🧡🖤

Like Zohran, he has Big Mr. Rogers Energy. We need more of this everywhere.

I am praying for a world where I don't think "I hate these guys" at least once every single day

I'll do it. I will fire tens of thousands of ICE agents. I will fly around the country like George Clooney and Anna Kendrick in that movie, just firing people all day. Except instead of it crushing my soul each ICE agent firing will bring me joy.

I had them too and they were awful.

Full length view of the purple and red striped 1950s dinner dress by Claire McCardell showing how the fitted crossover bodice radiates out onto a long, full skirt

Amongst the many reasons that I love the garments designed by Claire McCardell is her fastenings. They are always unexpected, rejecting the convenience of a zip for a neat row of buttons. This is a mid #1950s dinner dress with the most chic of bodices #museumatFIT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Oh I'm sorry.
