Ooof, I'm listening (or was listening) to an academic podcast that uses all sorts of acronyms, even while speaking! And, guess what? My brain can't track all of your acronyms because I don't have a paper to refer back to. Stop this! Just use the words!

Tall, old pine trees on a downward sloping hill with green hills and valleys in the background.

A vista of very old, green, crumbling mountains in the Adirondacks. There are puffy gray and white clouds, shadows shifting over distant hills, and mist in the far distance.

"there should be no uncontested races" is a thing I'm seeing and I would like to invite every single person who says that to join their local Dem committee and run a race themselves.

Hey pals in the route of this cold snap, especially the northern regions: charge your external power packs!

Washington is "we need more area rugs" old, so we got two more this morning.

I donated $25 to our local food bank/food distributor.

I need to go feed the bird (again) while it's not pouring out.

I'm seeing a few of these convos, and once again I'm wishing our large items had learned how to host online conferences! Not only do I not have travel funds, I can't afford to get trapped somewhere - but online conferences mean we aren't reliant on an unstable government.

This sort of thing is proving the church's "once baptized, always Catholic" doctrine because I haven't been in a church except on Christmas in ten years but I still start vibrating when I hear this shit

Yes! Good tutoring isn't instruction, it's helping students figure out what they already know and problem solve from there, sometimes using instructional materials (textbooks, recorded lectures, walk-through).

Got my first seed catalog of the season! Pine tree Seeds has a few new varieties of echinacea (I know, I know, not as good as the true drive variety) and zinnia

Because this has Mandala Effect’ed for most of the last week, I’m writing it down to get it out of my head.

If someone around you has both a substance abuse problem, AND they’re abusive or hostile to others, especially while under the influence, treating the substance abuse has to come FIRST.

Husband and I have decided it's a fox - cute trot, bushy tail. Too small/petite to be a coyote.

There is a "doctor" on insta telling women that it's not a histamine reaction, you just need to use a vibration plate and watch sunrises while barefoot.

Or, I could take a bunch of antihistamines to actually calm my shit down

Husband got this ad:

"Beautifica is a 360 journey through worlds real and imagined, from mindblowing particle fields to unashamedly euphoric fantastic environments almost impossible to describe."

And goes: looks like a bunch of computer graphics

The very same pitbull stares admiringly at the noodle she is inhaling

Everything sucks so here is my dog eating ramen. 🍜

Seriously, if you have a Sikh gurdwara in your area please let people know about this. We have at least one here in Detroit Metro that I know of. Bonus is that Sikhs are, on the whole, extremely rad people.
