That sounds like a lovely way to celebrate. And that's such a gorgeous glowy photo of you. Happy birthday!

From Australia, I'd make an adjustment to this, and say that we can also see a heap of people inside the home with the toddler desperately trying to get to them, while some arseholes stand by or actively get in their way.

And what we can do is scream at the arseholes and cheer on the helpers.

So today's phone screen was cancelled 15 minutes before it was due to start. After being rescheduled from last week.

And by cancelled I mean the calendar event said cancelled and that the job is on hold.

Like wtf?? No one could call him to at least say sorry and explain the situation?

Hand holding up the children's book "The Day Leap SOARED" in front of a flowering bush. Hand is somewhat covering text at the bottom that reads "Words by Blair Braverman Pictures by Olivia When". The cover shows a young alaskan husky (Leap) leaping over a snow bank at sunrise. Six other tiny huskies in harnesses on the right, and the musher and sled on the left are all cheering her on.

After a brief vacation my store is open again! Now with a few signed copies of this book! πŸΆπŸ“–

We really should be able to tap out and pause parenting duties for a week. It's so exhausting.

How to make a statement as a new bride. This is a going away outfit by Madame Hayward, worn in 1899. There would be no fear of missing the newlyweds as they departed after the nuptials in this strikingly coloured and embellished ensemble #KelvingroveArt @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social #FashionHistory πŸ—ƒοΈπŸͺ‘

There is clearly a tech recession happening right now with a shit load of people being fired and replaced with AI vibe coding shit.

Even the recruiters sound stressed and depressed about it all.

All the other jobs he's interviewed for have been pulled at the last minute. It's so fucked.

Husband had a phone screen for a job on Friday and has another one on Monday. I'm being the universe for one of these to work out. We are nearly out of savings and close to not being able to pay our mortgage on the house we just fucking bought.

He's had other interviews but the jobs evaporated.

My sister gave my kid one and I literally painted eyes on it because I could not stand to look at it.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

That just seems like a test to see if you're over 40 and how much money your family had.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Dear Confused Governments Of The West, this is what an actual antisemitic rally, in this case by fucking nazis, looks like.

It reads to me like a photo op & recruitment exercise, just as the NSN used the March For Australia rallies. Its bold faced racism & antisemitism. The NSN need outlawing.

@theferocity.bsky.social can the world please have a Vibe Check episode about this kind of nonsense alongside the butchering of Teen Vogue and other recent firings.

Thank God for The Flytrap but where else are we supposed to learn about the world from people aware of the century they're in?
