Stripping this of its original context because it is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

I can't personally vouch for them (still saving up to buy one for myself) but I like Wild Gym for the same reason. Just a nice pack without the military aesthetic. Also they have a new minimalist pack that looks interesting.

F and M trains will swap routes between Manhattan and Queens starting in December 2025 We're making this change to improve reliability. Here's what you need to know about how your trip may change. New York City Transit

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already

Gelli plates and related accessories are great for kids that age. Also seconding a polaroid/instax camera or printer.

it is not remarked upon enough that these guys just genuinely and sincerely hate america and hate americans

every once in a while I feel like I get a glimpse of what social networking would be if the platform incentives were just to give us a glimpse of normal people enjoying themselves...

My habit of mentally cataloging all neighborhood dogs has paid off, and we celebrated the accomplishment with an ice cream. (Pumpkin and coconut, if you're wondering. It was delicious.)

Tonight we found a tiny adorable dog walking in the street. I said, "That might be Gizmo. I don't know what he looks like but I know there's a house on this block with a small dog named Gizmo." Walk over, knock on the door, guy answers and before we can say anything, "Oh it's Gizmo!"

Phew! Just sent you a DM with the info.

(Okay I was assuming you were asking because of research for something you were writing, But I hit reply and only then realized this may have been meant as a commentary on the present moment and I'm just very slow on the uptake. 🤦🏻)

Sorry I can't help directly but would you be interested in cold emailing someone? I had a history professor who focused on 19th and 20th century Italian culture/politics and he seemed like the type of person who would love to talk about this, or at least point you in the right direction.

I like seeing your author content/writing updates on my skyline, and even moreso really appreciate your feed of interesting, non-doomer posts. (And the cheery rainbow hat selfies are an added bonus and have made me want some type of rainbow hat for myself.) 😄

Though full disclosure: I was quite used to being at the bottom of my class (yay undiagnosed ADHD) and still did okay for myself. Also based on the updates I've seen about past exam grades etc. it seems like you're on the right track so try not to worry.

I'm not in medicine, but in a past career I was a biochemist who taught primarily pre-med and nursing students. I would not be worried about that grade, especially on just one exam. No one is going to be perfect in every topic and like you said you have other exams to bring it up.

I mean even most sick people don't wear masks anymore, so I think the options are more like "considerate" or "sick and considerate."

Or trans guys, if they're into that 👀

Seriously part of the reason I love this video so much is that it made me realize that transitioning didn't have to mean the end of wearing whatever clothes I want or being unable to dance however I want or anything like that.

3. My entire career path since 2005, and the circumstances that led to me running my small business, can be directly traced to that one time I saw a video of a flying lawnmower.

2. My grandmother really wanted me to like Barbie when I was young, but I would only accept ice skater Barbie (she had a *very sparkly* costume) and, um, zookeeper/safari Barbie? Because she came with a tiny animal. (A leopard I think?)

1. One day in grad school I was having a bad day so I stopped at the pet store on my way home and named one of the budgies (always a bad idea). I had to go back the next day and adopt him, and I still can't reconcile how much I like having pet birds with how much I hate loud noises. 🤔

I'm already not working today and I need something to do other than doomscroll on here and this sounds like fun so, sure! I look forward to the challenge of coming up with things for the 4 likes I'm going to get. 😁

Well this made my day 🤣

But on a related note, making most of your income from only two or three customers is not the best way to run a business so maybe I should work on that next?

I mean they were fine when I told them I was using a new name a few years ago, I don't know why I was so worried.

Had an incredibly anxious morning after telling one of my best customers that I changed my name (AGAIN), and am now dealing with the afternoon crash from the relief of them being totally chill and getting right back to business talk.

The other day they were on the porch and yelling on the phone, and okay their porch isn't far from our house, but yesterday they were inside and still very audible! (Also the shouting was done in between their multiple lawn mowing sessions, so, double yay.)

Some lovely artwork for your Sunday afternoon.

I think this is my favorite rule on the Internet.
