They were being blown every which way, all over the (no sidewalk) road! These tiny bodies in their giant hoodies! trying to walk home.

I know we make a lot of jokes about people not carrying umbrellas in the PNW but lemme tell you - at middle school pickup with the atmospheric river blowing every which way, those lil teens had umbrellas! I have seen them.

Gonne be thinking about this clinical elder for a long time. Thanks for teaching little ol me, all these years after your passing Ken.

Still brainstorming.

Maybe I can find a SheHulk sticker? Or a murderbot one? Any Sid Sharp artwork?

Why is the stuff I like not popular with other nerds??????

Trying to buy everyone pop culture stickers to go with their Xmas gifts and I thought I'd look for some for me.

What am I a fan of?

Hmmm. There are no Alison roman stickers. No Kai of rising world stickers. No imperial radch online fandom.

Ug

As a private practice therapist, my big big dream is to be able to form a union with all my colleagues.

I'm so mad at Hillary and I'm thrilled that these people are mad at her too.

Hmmm what should I make for dinner tomorrow? Well I need to use up this ground beef and also the mustard greens and perhaps these pinto beans and maybe the burratta. 🤦🤷

I agree it can create confusion later but when I go to the doctor or the dentist or whatever they charge the copay first. Seems .... Industry standard?

I used to charge copays at time of service.

Pasta with pablano cream sauce. Pasta with mushrooms and sausage and cream sauce. Pasta with sun dried tomatoes and cream sauce. I sense a theme.

Crock pot apple and pear sauce. Crock pot sweet potato soup. Crock pot pinto beans with green chilies. Up next: crock pot oatmeal with persimmons.

You look with your eyes, not your vulva, Karen.

I know you will figure out all the options in your new (old?) city/neighborhood and what's the best fit for you soon. Takes time! Takes a year! Go you.

I think of thriftway as a deeply expensive deeply fancy grocery store!

But now I'm lucky enough to live in a poverty stricken neighborhood and get poor people groceries (I love you saars).

Do whatever you want. Go you.

Especially in that neighborhood. We really struggled when we were there. So so so expensive and no way to get to a cheap neighborhood (Ballard or Queen Anne or belltown don't help at all)

Going to treat myself to one tiny ibuprofen as a winter night treat

Great news. Brain is willing to engage in books again! Some books I'm in love with now.

teaboot You know what's wild? Your body- like, the one you're existing as? Your mind prison?- it's not a wholly independant entity. It's an ecosystem. You're a bog that's self- aware

why does this make me want to read madeline l’engle’s a wind in the door?

Taught the teen about how police officers can't be held personally liable and blew his mind. Feeling pretty good about myself as a parent. Lemme tell you. Covering the important stuff.

Want to read smart analysis of the world around me! I miss media not being a fascist tool of boring racist propaganda. Buzzfeed was terrible but it was better than this!

Would also like Brandon Taylor to write a piece on Kat Williams use of the concept of "god" in his essay vs general American culture protestant whatever vs the Catholics. Past and present Jehovah witness culture including race and class categories please.

Would read an entire think-piece on Kat Williams choosing to call Michelle Obama ma'am in their recent podcast together.

Man, those were the days. When there were almost endless essays on the internet.

Oh no. It's hard to be without him for that long! Especially when you're talking about adoption. Eeeeeeeeeee

Hope! Omgggggggggg

Floofy kitty

Other kitty rules are: she will cuddle in the red chair but not the brown couch. She will cuddle on the black chaise outdoor lounger but not on the orange outdoor chaise lounger. She will cuddle on my desk chair but only if I'm not talking. Quiet time strictly enforced!

I would like to be consulted on these rules as my bed is very comfy but nobody consults me.
