White text on a gray ombre background. Some of the best advice I've ever received? You're allowed to change your mind. at any point, you can say, I can't support this. Even if you once did. Even if you weren't sure. You're allowed to recognize when something has gone too far and walk away. The best time to speak up might have been before. The second best time is now.

Normalize having a book on your bookshelf that, when pulled, opens the door to a secret room.

A group of adults, children, and 4 muppets sit on the front steps of 123 Sesame Street. From left, clockwise: Susan, Bob, Bert, Gordon, Ernie, Big Bird, Oscar, Mr Hooper, and 4 children I can't name. Another adult next to Bob in the center.

On this day in 1969, I sat down in front of the TV to watch the first episode of Sesame Street on WGBH/PBS. It's the first memory of my childhood that doesn't revolve around a photograph.

US Air Force to deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from service

August 07, 2025

The move means that transgender service members will now be faced with the choice of either taking a lump sum separation payment offered to junior troops or be booted from the service. All transgender members of the Air Force are being separated from the service under the current administration's policies.

What the actual fuck? I guess cis women and people of color will be next, because who wants qualified employees?
Nah, they just want white men and only want "others" when they need serfs.

a short black cord with orange ends. one end is "male" 30 amp. the other is "female" standard household outlet shape.

seems silly, but it isn't. I am shopping for electrical adapters. I need a 30 amp "male" to household "female." I get why these were named this ages ago, but there must be new terms. innie & outie? most folks have belly buttons and they are gender-free. #genderbinary #obsolete #wordingmatters

Walmart pickup rating of 5 stars. In the box that says "anything else you'd like to share?" I replied "Very polite young persno. Please give them a raise and let them unionize."

So I had to go to... Walmart. Wasn't thrilled about it. Please listen to this song by Matt the Election to the very end. Worth it.

I can't believe I just noticed today that the house I'm pet sitting in has no books.

I noticed the lack of occasional and bedside lamps right away and wondered how they read. I guess they do other things.

To be fair, there are 3 gardening books. The yard is lovely. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸŒ·πŸŒ³

why I love the BB chips: local distributor is great, yes, but they are not too salty, not too oily, and are sturdy enough to scoop protein food, like πŸ₯š πŸ₯— or πŸ” salad an I need all the calories I can get these days.

Woodman's isn't carrying the Bucky Badger brand yellow tortilla chips I've loved for decades. I have to find a new tortilla chip. I almost went without, but then picked a bag of Pajedas yellow round chips. #autism #changeishard

it's just text, but the colors change. The first two words are in white, then there's a bunch of words that are in a dark color, and the last phrase is again in white. 
this is the text. one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this
