We moved here 7 weeks ago, and our 9year old refuses to take a car anywhere. Fully converted by week 2 to going everywhere by bike. We love this city.

james dobson is dead and cannot wish anything but eternal pain on that mother fucker. that guy destroyed so many lives

Update: 48 hours in, and a commute to and from camp and one ice cream trip later, he asked why people drive when they can ride, and suggested “there should be a law against driving in neighborhoods” 😂 this is on brand as he has objected to every car trip since the one home from the hospital.

That’s what he’s doing in the picture, unlocking them so we can ride back from the grocery store!

Moves to Minneapolis 26 hours ago. The 9 year old is extremely into the car free lifestyle already, did 10 mile ride with donut stop, and then a quick grocery trip this afternoon. He lost it when I said we had to drive to grandmas for dinner, “it’s only 3 miles! Why are we driving?!?”

And the climate in Idaho is much better too, if they could just concentrate themselves in one place that would make things easier.

Uh oh, I think outs is around 35 😬

Got my new cup from @gravesco.bsky.social !

He was completely senile at the end and tried to kiss female pages who had to help him to the well to vote. Disgusting man.

A picture of a poem by Loryn Brantz where their child is miserable they turned off Bluey and they’re lamenting not knowing how to explain luck to the child.

Took me 100k words and they nailed it in under 40.

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

We Promised to Bring Back a Golden Age—But We Never Actually Specified Which Golden Age “The golden age of America begins right now.” — President Donald Trump, during his inauguration speech. - - -We promised that, if elected, we would...

"Admittedly, it’s not the golden age you were expecting—the one when stuff was affordable, employment was high, industries were booming, weather patterns were predictable, and a sense of national pride coursed through the healthy, fluoropolymer-free veins of every citizen."

In my experience 7:30pm on a weeknight is the best time to avoid crowds

Since I’m not spending at Amazon or Target anymore I bet I can fit it in the budget! 😁

Damn it, I’m trying to save my money, but I need this mug.

Mel Robbin’s has always rubbed me the wrong way, so much privilege and so little real self awareness. My mom loves her and and sends me her crap constantly. 🤦‍♀️

World is a fuck so I went out to see the elephant seals and they were ROWDY

Wow! I didn’t realize turkey tail was blue!

The mycelium are not fruiting in my mushroom forest right now, but I did find these lovely fuzzy blue lichens(?) #fungifriends

Yup! I cancelled my NYT back in November. Paying pro publica and wired instead now.

if you’re 25 years old with control of the entire treasury system and you don’t delete every student debt file, you are the biggest loser the world has ever seen

My reading for January, lots of fiction about female vengeance. #books #reading #fable

Needlepoint has BIG drama right now- check out the needlepoint Snark sub Reddit

Same.

I don't fully grasp elephant seals, but I do know they normally have 1 pup a season. OCCASIONALLY you get more who nurse off the same mother, but it HAS to be pretty rare to get *FIVE*

It's chaotic and incredible. I wish I had taken more footage. 🦑

updating "are you better off than four years ago" to the much more appropriate "are you better off than seven days ago"

Will tag alt text bot in reply, apologies.

Beyond this bit being passed around, which is worth sharing for the main points, do click through and read the whole thing. It's worth it. harpers.org/archive/1941...

It’s a bop.
