Ron in CA

Oooo, it’s so good! I’ve rewatched it more than once …

Trump, Rubio, and Nosfera— er, Stephen Miller.

“We’re gonna run Venezuela”

Bitch, you can’t even run the Kennedy Center.

Me in a mustard-yellow hoodie, cerulean cashmere scarf knotted jauntily around my neck, a terra-cotta puffer jacket, and my trusty Ray-Ban Wayfarers. The perfect fit for a hike that didn’t happen and morphed into brunch and shopping in Downtown Healdsburg instead.

Look, when the Teen tells you she approves of the fit, it would simply be folly not to document it.

chimmichurri, romesco, or
Frank’s Red Hot and crumbled feta or blue cheese

Will with a Drill - Will Byers holding a drill in Season 5 of Stranger Things.

Elf on a Shelf? No thanks. I’m OK with…

Pineapple and pepperoni (or prosciutto) is my JAM.

I just don’t think I’d want any of those toppings combined with cheese. 😬

I could get into a chicken karaage or tonkatsu pizza, though …

What the whatting what?

I know one thing; I don’t want to hear shit else from the anti-pineapple crowd, when that abomination exists somewhere in the world.

Teen (jokingly, to her mom): I knew you were the source of all my trauma!

Me: I thought you said you weren’t a Freudian?

Chat, when I tell you, the LOOK I got … I might not be safe in my own bed tonight!

Are the design tastes in the room with them right now?

It’s like you have a direct line into my house lol…

I view it as a parenting win that the teen is outraged by this. Not because she’s worried about her own A average, but because it seems so lazy and wrongheaded and arbitrary.

It’s definitely on the table… She’s got a solid 98%+ in the class, so it’s not about her grade per se; and with her I never have to worry that she’ll acquiesce to low expectations. But it’s so wrong that I don’t see how we let it slide.

I may reach out to some of the other parents as a first step.

Thank you! I was hoping some of my educator mutuals might weigh in.

As I said to the teen, “And what do you suppose he’d do if he found out you were turning in someone else’s work as your own?”

It’s weird, right?

So cute! They got him the Li’l Despot Playset for Hanukkah.

The teen just told about her final exam in math.

6 out of the 10 questions were to be worked on with a partner, with each student submitting answers separately. The teacher will grade one set, at random.

So 60% of her grade could be based on another student’s work.

What? The? Fuck?

I love Leslie Jones with my whole heart.

OMG that dipshit grifter is still at it?

Tell you what, I’ll even be fine with saying got the highest ratings of all time for anything, ever.

Yeah, the only problem is, he did it by ignoring the disease that wiped out a generation of gay men.

Ronald Reagan was neither good nor decent. And for you to lionize him this way is, frankly, astonishing.

Shoot it in the neck and watch it bleed out? Aren’t they already doing that?

But he was heavily engaged with The University of Missouri Tigers football and basketball teams! Is there no justice in this world?

One-way bus ticket to Bakersfield!

I didn’t make it to the finish!

Taylor Swift describing the Eras Tour vibe as “femininity without shame” is a perfect encapsulation of why I’d be ride or die for her even if I didn’t like her music, simply for what she means to my daughter.

I am not a religious man. But when I tell you that I’d be praying for a strong and sudden gust of wind…

The teen is a huge EAP fan so this is 👨🏻‍🍳💋

Why is this so devastating? 🤣

Medea Benjamin of Code Pink is cool with Marjorie Three Toes. The horseshoe is real.

Horse face meets horseshoe.
Fuck both these grifters.

If that’s the whole list, Tracy got off easy.

It derives from the Arabic “Al barquq” so I say it with a short ă as in happy.

I think I’m very much an outlier as a native Californian who says it that way, though
