Science-minded mom and grandma, with a couple of trans kids. Typos may be mine or autocorrect, you decide.

Not just a name change. But baked by a completely different factory.

I would be happy with daylight savings all the time. Down with Standard time.

As heard frequently on the Colbert Report reality has a liberal bias.

Honestly if the choices in the general become Newsom or a Republican it would be clear to me that the country had failed. As soon as candidates are selling out whole demographics the way Newsom has been talking it means nobody has any rights.

I worked briefly as an AI trainer. It was enough to convince me that it’s all smoke, mirrors, and bullshit that sometimes gets things sorta right. But everything still should be verified.

Not even a little bit.

Insulin pumps are also durable medical equipment, just FYI.

You are the expert I go to for all things squirrel.

That pretty much sums up how this cartel of an administration works.

Currently unlimited hay and pastures for frolicking are only for the rich.

How many more studies do we have to have? Those statements sound like science but are really just denialism and bullshit.

Stay safe in Mexico.

There are more than 2 home games left. One on Friday. Two in March. And three in April.

I’m so happy that more people are getting excited about the PWHL.

They play the games in YouTube.

25.02.2026 01:39 β€” πŸ‘ 10    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The games are great. Fast paced, quality hockey. And win or lose the fans celebrate the players. Highly recommend. Their next game is Friday.

The women’s team had 16 professional players on it (the rest were college players). Granted the PWHL doesn’t have the same reach as the NHL but as a season ticket holder for the Seattle Torrent I can say the games are great.

Exactly the clip I was thinking of.

This must be why printers are so finicky. It’s like, sure this time you actually want the print. I’ll show you!

I’m young enough that I didn’t have peers with polio. But I had a teacher in elementary school who used a cane because of it. And told us how lucky we were to have a vaccine. It’s a foundational memory for me about how science can make things better.

If you are under 18 you don’t need ID to fly in the US.

They’ve been requiring it for domestic travel since last May. I’ve been flying with my passport since I already had one and will update my license to a RealID when it expiries this year.

The WA state one works for travel by land over the border into Canada. RealID from states that don’t border Canada won’t work.

When I lived in Missouri I used to have a paper card that came with information about my polling place. I could use that in place of photo ID to vote. I never did because I never had it with me. But I could have.

In Washington state they have to scan your ID at the grocery store to buy alcohol no matter what. So my old status doesn’t preclude me anymore. But it also isn’t a constitutional right.

You see it so many places. It especially shows up in dads. My spouse and I have been in and around support groups for trans kids for over a decade. There are a couple of subsets of people. And one of them is people who want to make the kids wait. Just because.

The Tkachuks can get stuffed though. They’ve proven themselves to be assholes over and over.
