Disgusting

one cool thing about living in a walkable neighborhood is that you may have to go to the hardware store and while you're walking there you might have a chance encounter on the street with a famous YouTuber like @nerd4cities.bsky.social

you don't get that in the suburbs, folks!

I loooove hearing about how Bruce has “gotten too political.” Because up until the 2000s he was never ever political, right? 😉

April is c-section awareness month! Reflecting as I count down (16 days) to my 2nd section. I was drugged up, vomiting thru surgery, exhausted from laboring all day, & worried for my son who had to be resuscitated. Thanks to the surgery & surgeons, I have a healthy 2 y/o. Def not the “easy way out.”

Oh, are we bringing back the implication that if you’re not “healthy,” you deserve to die of infectious disease? Cool cool.

What the actual fuck

My parent does this multiple times a week with an *acupuncturist* for a terminal disease that has no cure. They think it will save them. It’s been so many days and thousands of dollars and it’s so frustrating. The wellness industry preys on people like my parent who have no other options.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.

When did CNN become paywalled? I’ve hit my limit of free articles 🙄

Most of us won’t be calling it the Gulf of America, either.

My toddler and my dog are lots of fun :)

Omg, he’s doing what I elected him to do, gold star for fetterman

Thank you 💙 It’s a scary time for sure. Obviously I was feeling more hopeful about the election when we decided to expand our family. When I get stressed about the country I get to feel this little bean wiggle and kick and I feel better.

Currently pregnant with our second and this is just such a strange time to be having babies

Don’t worry, it’s not too heavy! But it’s illegal to drive around with tons of snow piled on your car.

I bombed today. Got green, got hung up on blue. I knew what the category was, but only three of four words.

I keep seeing posts about “for the last time, audiobooks count as reading!” But I never see what they’re responding to. Do people really not think it’s reading? Or are these pot-stirrers? Because it’s reading.

I read Sower & Talents for the first time this year and ooof. Too close. But worth it! Thanks Abbott Elementary for the rec :)

Favorite reads from this year with Black protagonists: Such a Fun Age, Parable of the Sower, Parable of the Talents.

I read around 50 books a year and those were mostly physical books, with audiobooks for my commute, until I had a baby. If it weren’t for audiobooks I would hardly be reading at all now.

I read sower and talents this year and they were genius and unsettling. Like she saw the future.

Running out of time to fulfill one of my reading goals for 2024: two poetry collections. Can anyone recommend collections available as audiobooks?
