I'm not disagreeing with Hank, but that's still a billion times better than the bike infrastructure in Fayetteville NC.

Ah, Bartleby, c'est moi!

Gen X too. Tried to explain to my students that the most i want from authority figures is benign neglect & they were so confused. What do they know? They like their parents.

Same here, although my mother would deny everything. I was punished for "talking back." I still talk back to authority-- now I call it advocacy.
But yeah, we get along ok as long as we have most of the continental us between us.

Also, national merit scholar, PhD, Fulbright. The spanking & slapping had nothing to do with it, other than motivating me to do well in school so I could get out of there.

Oh, yeah, I was spanked with some regularity, usually by my dad (good ol' Christian patriarchy). I didn't mind the spankings as much as the random face slaps from mom.
We neither spank nor slap our kids. It's important to me that they know they are loved & respected.

Arlen has better bike infrastructure than Fayetteville NC, & Fayetteville is real. We'll, kind of real. It's not like we've got decent bike infrastructure or anything.

I was going to say an assassination or something that would get blood on it, but no, it would continue to look awesome, even with blood on it.

I teach at a D3, & the number of football players (especially) who think they're going to go pro is nuts. We've had one guy do this-- in regional league arena football. Stop waiting for the call from the NFL & do your homework!

My husband called a movie "cringe," & the 19yo says, "Cringe is dead." 23yo agrees- it's judgemental. 19yo explains: "Let people enjoy their silly little things. Let them have joy in their lives."
The kids are all right.

True, but i do feel a little less terrible knowing he's out of the country. And the Scots are being delightful about it.

Pine, citrus, maybe even almond. Something light & clean.

Mmmm.... barbecue camp....

So many flavors.

That the pantry is low; it's that it's needed. The Army should take care of its people. That's the takeaway here.

This is tricky, too-- the community has a fragile social services network which does a lot to help as many people as possible. FortBragg is outside Fayetteville's jurisdiction, which makes it a little rough to fuss at local pols for not feeding them. This is an Army problem-- & the problem isn't

Also, these folks are here on bsky. Should've checked earlier.

WUNC's show "Due South" focuses on regional stories. WRAL is headquartered in Raleigh, but they have an office downtown on Hay street.

Paul Woolverton is a regional reporter; Myron Pitts is editor of the Observer. I don't know who edits the on base paper.

Well, you could refer people to those sources.

Fayetteville Urban Ministry, Operation Inasmuch, & Second Harvest are good sources in town. I bet Manna Church would respond to an appeal.

Yeah, but-- I have some male colleagues who aspire to be like this & are snobs about it.
(Except Chucks are cool, period).

I'm not a horror person, but the novel Horrorstor, which takes place in a haunted Ikea analogue built on the site of an ancient panopticon prison, is actually pretty good. It earns many bonus points for being designed to look like an ikea catalogue.

It's painful.

At the very least, buy your books used, so she doesn't get the money. Thrift stores are wall to wall hp.

PBS! PBS! PBS!

YES!!

Two birds, one stone.

The Christian Nationalists & christofascists have been there for a while. Why do you think they fight so hard against raising the age of consent, or eliminating exceptions for parental approval?
