😲 Instead of showing Rosie Rios ringing the bell to open the NYSE this morning, the PR team used an audience photo with two people making peace signs

Far removed?! From budgets to square feet to calculating chair diagonals to ADA measurements to determining yards of fabric needed to lampshade size as a percentage of lamp base width… FFS interior design is nothing but math.

Spending International Women’s Day evening correcting the ‘feminist’ accounts across Insta that are proclaiming 100% of humans are birthed by women

1. No they’re not. Trans men have babies too
2. If you think babies are the top reason to celebrate women then you’re part of the problem

Tokyo’s NIKKIE index has plunged by more than 7% since open already today

This is incomprehensible. How could our elected officials not have flung themselves bodily across the constitution to stop it? How could any military carry out these orders?

People with the ability to impact this are sleepwalking.

Don’t ever tell me again that men are any kind of natural leaders.

Governor McKee has children and grandchildren. Why he thinks he can delay climate change prep is beyond me

It certainly doesn’t save money, even in the short term if you look into the real numbers (and don’t just rely on energy lobbyists whispering in your ear)

Providence city councilwoman and Lt Gov Candidate Sue AnderBois said in a speech today that climate change is like being pregnant. It doesn’t matter that you’d like to pause on meeting your zero carbon goals for a while, the baby is coming on its own schedule and you can’t bargain with that deadline

Why aren’t they stopping?

I have happily driven from Vegas to Salt Lake City, from Texas to North Carolina, from Belgrade to Montenegro.

I will never drive from Providence to Coventry and eyeball the idea of schlepping to Newport with suspicion. Went to Westerly once; probably not again because it was a bit far.

Sigh. Does anyone know a concierge doctor or other medical pro serving Newport RI who can help bully the hospital and specialists into doing all the tests and making appointments?

Will check and get to you if they are still there by Friday. A neighbor donated them, I suspect from the back of her pantry

100% on Foxborough’s side

Thank you. I always felt guilty because I haven’t made dried since my 20s and relied on canned.

Little Free Pantry update: An early spring shift. Broccoli, onions, cabbage and pickled veg now fly off the shelf while dried pasta and peanut butter languish.

No one will ever take the dried beans - it’s been nearly three weeks. I understand. They require patience and we are all exhausted.

That’s one hell of a headshot for a college kid

Matt Kenny, former pro hockey player who recently came out, posted a video today talking about a 9-year old boy who just asked him for an autograph and said he was his hero.

Four schools. Not just one

Thanks. Just posted a list of ways one can do that!

If you’re a Disney shareholder, you can contact them to request how the company intends to handle homophobic remarks by a leader that do not represent Disney’s own HR policy, and could impact stock prices (think what happened to Target when they dropped DEI)

If you’re a member of the press, you can contact Disney to ask if Peter Docter’s homophobic remark in the WSJ now represents company policy. David Jefferson

Meeting with a group of women deciding how we want to pick the best local candidates to support in 2026. They are against “25-point purity tests”. So how do we judge?

My purity test is simple: if you are partnered, do you carry your fair share of the household load? Most progressive men fail it.

yellowing toner of a page from a Penguin paperback novel. The chapter name at the top reads, CLASS-ROOM with a hyphen in the middle

Isn't it weird when you find everyday normal words that used to be hyphenated?

therapy? OMFG. Do you know how much therapy queer kids need with the heteronormative crud they put out? Not to mention sleeping beauty waiting passively to be kissed, and all the snatched waist sizes of the girl's clothing

A glass vase of brightly colored icelandic poppies. Hairy left over husks are strewn on the table below

There’s a vase of 3 Porch Farm poppies popping their hair husks off to emerge in full bloom on my home desk, which is the only reason I am able to settle down (soft of) and get the taxes done.

BTW: They ship overnight from Georgia and I get them every tax season. Budget depending, you can too!

Just watched this interview- first of all I’ve known Dawn for years and consistently mispronounced her last name, so thank you Ian Donnis for getting it right and flaunting it a bit.

Secondly, yay she wants to stay in office and keep doing good despite losing the leadership fight. We need her.

put trees everywhere I am no longer asking

Let’s not even get into basketfuls of charging cords that don’t fit anything whatsoever anymore but you can’t toss them just in case

My kingdom for a phillips head screwdriver!!

So yesterday I discovered every single phillips head screwdriver and electric drill in my home has disappeared and I am down to one (1) good pair of scissors.

Meanwhile all the dvds and clothing in sizes now too small remain.

Life can be cruel

Noting these “right to rape” protests took place in 2024. Not 2025. 2024. During peak presidential election campaign.
