I have not owned 5 cars.

A 90’s something Pontiac Sunbird
1998 Hyundai Accent
2006 Toyota Prius
2006 Toyota Sierra

Now I have a Tern GSD and it is super rad.

This was interesting to note this weekend. I am surprised it is still on the wall.

I definitely saw pieces of my marriage in the tasks being described. I also feel a full body squick response from AI.

I really liked this article, thanks.

related: if anyone has some good advice for trying to repair broken photoshop files with corrupted layers, i'd appreciate some suggestions!

We are hitting the low 50's(F) this week! It's practically balmy. The snowdrops have been out for a bit and the crocuses are starting to show up. Daffodils have a little longer to wait. :)

My family started talking about leaving in 2017. We got out in 2019. I didn't realise we were part of such a historic wave but I'm not shocked.

I have learned that it is quite difficult to access a lot of shows outside of streaming. It is surprising to me how often the choice is stream or pirate.

Half price candy day is one of the very best days of the year.

We have had a great cleaning lady for a while. She is moving on to bigger and better things. Yay for her!

Hiring help requires being honest about the level of disability in my house. It is not easy believing we are disabled *enough* to deserve the amount of help we need.

Oh well. Need it anyway.

This is weird to me in a country that proclaims they would rather let 10,000 rapists walk free than put an innocent man in prison.

Funny how these metrics change.

Today's a great day to support some creators.

Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works, if you'd like. And feel free to tell us about it.

Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.

I am paying for a lawyer because Noah's end of life stuff is complicated. 13 months into processing the estate she is finally listening to something I have been saying from day 1. Maybe they did the paperwork entirely wrong. Why didn't I tell her earlier?

I find existing to be incredibly unpleasant

I moved to a country where I get glass bottles delivered to my doorstep. It's really nice milk. :)

Our Neighbors in Minneapolis or: What I Saw While I Was There

This essay hit me in the feels. It does an incredible job of explaining what decentralised organisation is and how it can look.

I find this inspiring. Mr Rogers told us to look for the helpers.

It's time to be the helpers. Get to know your neighbours.

If you know protesters in the US, I didn't know about this one. The thread explains a different tool being used to harm protesters.

Snail vs Trump: The snail is winning.

Keep fighting, everyone.

CHARLES RAFFERTY The Problem with Early Warnings People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.

This hit so fucking hard today.

Honestly is even 5 minutes healthy?

Attention trad folk fans!

I spend a surprising amount of time stopping to think of the woman who taught me to run. I feel deep gratitude that she insisted that I internalise: one must eat if one is to be strong.

Yes ma'am. I'll eat. Then I'll run.

My oldest is asking if I'm ok with him having an extra year of high school since last year was not a particularly effective one. This isn't how I guessed he'd feel about being homeschooled after how rough the beginning was.

This job feels extra isolating now. It's hard being the only authority.

I am labeled in their phones as Spawn Point or The Creator.

I am definitely not doing this in a way that results in them taking me all that seriously.

I feel like my kids are freaks of nature. They earnestly and sincerely express gratitude for the punishments I dole out. They say that my punishments are all designed to correct specific problems and make them better people. They appreciate that I have so much invested in them growing.

Weirdos.

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

You are great, too. I'm sorry you are also sick. It's yucky.

When I complain about anything my 7 year old has started to pat me on the shoulder and say, "I know how you feel, buddy. I know how you feel."

It's both weirdly comforting and also highly annoying. She fits in so very well in our bizarre little clan.

Also: hell flu is hellish. All bad. No good.

I continue to find you incredibly entertaining.

This is why they want us talking about day care centers and $500 boots.
