THE DEATH OF US SCIENCE ☠️

YouTube video by The Middle Way Society Gavin Haynes on the Purity Spiral

Aha, found it. There are SEVERAL examples of this in the knitting community. Starts around 14:45.

"This brush with the toxicity of a Purity Spiral was so severe that Nathan was hospitalised by his husband following a suicide threat."

This is from a BBC Radio link that is UNFORTUNATELY no longer available. Holy moly.

"Gavin meets Nathan Taylor, an Instagram knitting star who unwittingly triggered a race row after attempting to reach out to people of colour using the hashtag Diversknitty. Nathan watched in horror as a wave of accusations of white supremacy and Nazism flowed into his inbox." (continued...)

"We don't see color, even in our cereals."

OMG. 😵

This is the same cat who went missing a few months ago and we found her *under the house* after a handyman had opened the crawl space and she snuck in. Stop being so curious, Scout!

Scout the cat, trapped under our bed, peeking out.

My AirPods fell through a gap between the mattress and bed frame and were trapped in the bottom of our platform bed. Last night we pulled the bed apart to retrieve them. After we’d put everything back I was sitting on the bed doing the crossword when I heard…meow. 🙀

TFW you find out your nemesis uses yahoo email.

The cruelty is the point.

I think I have convinced the camp to let us submit the health form after her physical in July. 🤞

Thanks, that's good to know. I think I have convinced the camp to let us submit the health form after her physical in July. 🤞

Interesting bet. When I wanted to fulfill wish list items for the local warming shelter, they had initially done theirs through a different vendor. There are alternatives out there, people will find them.

My child needs a physical exam ASAP to go to summer camp in July, but also needs a physical exam dated after July 1 to participate in high school sports.

Are they really dumb enough to not realize folks will put their wish lists elsewhere because of this? Why not demand 3rd party sellers adhere to the higher standard instead of lowering their own standards? Sigh.

What does Amazon have to gain from this new policy? Do they want to restrict purchasing from 3rd party sellers?

Trabocco is great! AL has excellent taste.

Gasp! There’s been an Alysa Liu sighting in our town. 👀

😍

Whoa. I pay $23 here but figured that was Bay Area pricing.

Right?!? It’s really sweet watching kids stop to pet him too. Everybody wins.

I am waiting to pick up my kid near the high school. A neighborhood cat is hanging out near the sidewalk so kids can give him scritches when they walk by. Just living his best life. 😻

😵😵😵

He is AMAZING. We are big fans. 🤩

It was a great day! And they *did* take us to the Harry Potter reading room. How did your tours go?

Oops! Wrong Vindman. 😂😂

Happy birthday, Lee! 🎂
