Absences of three days or fewer at age 13 can affect Leaving Certificate results - ESRI The Economic and Social Research Institute found that school absenteeism can impact educational outcomes, health, wellbeing and social connectedness.

Linking absences to future failures as though it's the absences that caused the failures rather than an external factor causing both, is not a logical thing to do. This is a good example of why relying on statistics alone will never give you a full picture.

"Stuff it" was my whole attitude to my garden this summer. Going to have a big clean up and start again. Sigh

Why is it so hard for streaming services to keep artist’s profiles from being populated by slop? Elder (a sick prog band from Boston/Berlin) announced a new record today, and what pops up in my Tidal notifications? Some slop that is absolutely not Elder. Happens often and it sucks.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

I went to buy Amy’s book but it didn’t fit on the boat so I cleared some space and threw my children overboard.

Me putting hot sauce on food:
“Sometimes it’s good to eat food that hurts!”

A bike called Galaxy

I have an old roadie my husband fixed up for me. I love her.

Meet Galaxy.

You captured me so well.

She's a pretty one.

A ring tailed possum on a lamp in the family room. She took some removal.

We had a visitor last night, she did not take a hint about it being time to leave.

A giant sphere of flesh in Central Park towering over the city like a big gross meatball. This was made by redditor kiwi2703 to show what it would look like if you combined every human on Earth into a ball, and it’s clearly a bad idea

Within 18 months all white collar workers could be replaced by a 1km sphere of flesh in Central Park

Enjoy! There's nothing like it. 🚴

Roses are red
Violets are blue
So many girls
On the Avenue

Me, watching hot tub time machine with my teenage kids.
