Kids choose amazing names too. My kid went by “Light Cat” for a few months!

ICE/CPB thugs tackled a nonverbal autistic man outside a Family Dollar in Chicago’s Little Village claiming he was “noncompliant.”

Witnesses begged them to stop. “Why they beating up this special boy?” one worker cried. “He comes in every day for a treat. He has the mind of a child.” 🤬🤬🤬

Yes! I went back to school much later in life and I have been fighting to keep my focus on learning what will help me in my career and not just passing classes so I can graduate. It’s hard when that’s absolutely not the mindset most people have.

Exciting!! Warmth and a hobby you can enjoy! (My camera really helps me slow down and enjoy the world directly around me, which is helpful especially right now.)

Oh my, thank you for the reminder, I almost forgot they were people!

I’m gonna guess that the writer(s) were “specially” (i.e., especially) abled… 🙄

It really is! So much genuine character development and well-thought out plot arcs that all dovetail together so perfectly!

..basically giving books the opportunity to rise based on engagement and content and not just on marketing. (I wish I knew where to start in creating such a thing!)

This still wouldn’t entirely solve the problem, but yesterday I was thinking how helpful it would be if there was a site for indie/self-published books that was organized the way AO3 (Archive of our Own) is… ability to give kudos or something like it, tagging, ability to filter by length or tags…

That’s so cute though! Condolences for your lack of sleep…

For me my particular autonomic dysfunction I describe like this: sometimes when I stand up, my body sends the signal to open my blood vessels up which sends blood straight to my feet, instead of constricting them to get the blood to my head. Then I either get my head down or my body does it for me!

I have the opposite situation, no matter how much I floss their opinion of my gums doesn’t change… makes it hard to want to be consistent…

You never know! Maybe you *will* have it tomorrow! (And hopefully every day thereafter because having it for only one day would be disappointing!)

“Unfortunately, it was so effective” is such perfect phrase sometimes… 🫠

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center.

Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them.

We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

Whole lot of people saying “she must resign” who should be saying “I am introducing articles of impeachment.”

Other direction but same with growing a beard and having your voice drop… second puberty 20 years after first puberty is a trip!

Ask *historians*?? I thought I had come to terms with my age but now I feel *ancient*. I got a TripTik for my trip across the country for grad school (though to be fair that was somewhat a backup because phones weren’t super reliable yet).

I’m terrified of any parent who thinks this is a “nearly impossible standard”…

I’ll save you some time:
Money advice for those over 30
1-8: Have privilege (an excellent paying, salaried job, stable housing situation, no major medical expenses)

Good news! She doesn’t have to use that bathroom, we didn’t want to share it with her anyway!

I am so much quicker to buy DRM free ebooks, because I know I won’t lose access to them and will be able to read them on whatever device I am using!

Either that, or you get “okay” and they wander off and you have to wonder if they heard a word you said and what is going through their brain… 😂

I think we should keep our eyes open and watch for anything going down that we can get interrupt. I read a news story about neighbors that formed a human chain to keep ICE away until they gave up. If someone at your work says something racist/fascist, speak up. Be ready to stand up for colleagues.

Legislature approves Sand Creek Massacre memorial for Colorado Capitol The statue, by sculptor Gerald Anthony Shippen, will depict the Cheyenne and Arapaho chiefs Black Kettle and Left Hand, as well as a Native American woman with a child.

A big deal as Colorado continues to grapple with one of the most shameful blots on its history.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Every single day I feel worse for the poor Onion writers… How do you compete with this?
