Well, sounds like your mom knows what she’s doing in terms of fooling people :(

But the main awesome takeaway here is that *you* feel supported, and I think that’s the best πŸ’œ

YES!! That is amazing, and I’m so glad that he has been in such great hands the whole time. The medical professionals, Pisco, and *you*!

I hope you are feeling wrapped in the same hands of expertise, love, and support πŸ’œ

Ahhh - interesting!

My NP wanted to try me on this bc I’ve never taken anything at all and this is a totally new diagnosis - only other regular rx I’ve ever taken is a very low-dose hypertension med. Even now with my stimulant med (shoutout to Vyvanse!) I take the kids’ baseline dosage πŸ˜‚

I tried that first when I got my diagnosis at age 48, just a few months ago. After about a month, my psych NP asked me how I felt. When I asked her how I was *supposed* to feel, she was like…yeah, time to try something else πŸ˜‚

Glad it’s working for you - that’s awesome!!

This is Cody. He's always wanted a dog of his own, and his wish finally came true. Can already tell his new little brother Cooper is going to be his best friend forever. 13/10 for both (TT: codythegoldenboy)

Load the car and write the note.
Grab your bag and grab your coat.
Tell the ones who need to know.
We are headed [South]!

(With apologies to the Avett Brothers for the lyric change, but we are headed to their home state of NC in April for Banana Ball!!)

Supposed to be a gif of Savannah Bananas player Dakota Stilts Albritton up at the plate batting. Might just be a photo, but either way, Stilts is awesome :)

Fingers crossed that I can get tickets in the Banana Ball lottery that happens shortly. I want to see my dude Stilts in person!! 🀞

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

I don't know why but in the last 2 days I've seen multiple people posting about my favorite shark the tasselled wobbegong and in case your timeline has not been similarly blessed I just think you should be aware that this is what it looks like

This is so, so good. One of the first things I’ve bought separately since subscribing to Apple Music (purchased through iTunes - not streaming bc it’s a BBC recording, apparently), and absolutely worth it.

The image is of a comic.
Panel one depicts a young girl in bed. She hears "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises.
Panel two depicts the same girl with an excited expression. She thinks, "That must be santa on the roof!"
Panel three depicts the girl smiling.
Panel four depicts a possum on the roof in heels making the "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises.

In my house they’ve never gone away! I do use Apple Music (esp bc I have a 10yo whose musical taste changes like the wind, so we find lots of new stuff regularly) but I have a CD player in my car (2017 Subaru Forester) and use it regularly. I was so stoked to see the player when I bought the car!

The Beths, 'Straight Line Was a Lie'

The beloved New Zealand indie-rock foursome speak the truth in "Straight Line Was a Lie," over the maddeningly catchy guitar jangle. It's the melodic power-pop title tune from their first album since their 2022 breakthrough, Expert in a Dying Field. Elizabeth Stokes rejects the whole idea of personal, creative, or commercial growth. "I guess I'll take the long way," she sings, "Because every way's the long way"β€” that's the kind of tough wisdom we needed (but didn't want) this year. - Rod Sheffield

(There is a purple arrow pointing to Rod)
