I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

            I am so grateful to whoever decided to package the Stream2Sea itch cream in a 75ml tube. I can carry it onto the plane for all the mosquito bites that will be rubbed by the shoes I didn’t wear for 2 weeks!

            I kid you not, my work knows that I do drawing on the side and someone in the office told me AI could save me time and my response was "but I like drawing" and it broke them. They didn't know how to answer, they just couldn't comprehend that people make art because they like making art.

            People have no idea how *expensive* it is either. Immigration isn’t just about filling out paperwork. There are fees that were high enough to stop this middle class white girl from getting citizenship in my 20s. Folks making minimum wage can’t afford to get citizenship. It’s just not right.

I can’t and won’t vote in your election. I don’t get whiny texts like this from the California Democrats, and I actually support them!

            this is why you shouldnt believe what you see on the internet. It was actually closer to 50 years. His name was Porphyrios, he actually caused the creation of entirely new trading routes just to avoid him and was declared enemy of the state  by Justinian. He is the hero we need.

            A new safety standard for nursing pillows comes into effect today. CPSC will enforce this new standard to make sure nursing pillows are safer and do not pose a suffocation risk to babies. 
This standard was approved by the Commission in October 2024: cpsc.gov/Newsroom/New...

            Dear retailers,
one less car trip means one more parking space for customers who have no choice.
Bicycles don't destroy parking spaces; they create them.

Anyway, for more of these shenanigans look for "Dogs in Elk", specifically that phrase, it's still on the web. It's an epic tale. Also an epic smell.

            I truly believe the only chance we have is through protests at hospitals that are complying with executive orders in advance.
These hospitals are attempting to detransition patients or deny transition to new ones because they are scared of Trump.

            ‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

            Middle age is that time when you realize there's actually not virtue in being unhappy after all.

            I've waited patiently and now I can finally start rebuilding my network from the Network That Shall Not Be Named. As usual, it starts with my favorite authors and spirals out to my other communities from there. I'm a wallflower introvert who reads far more than I'll ever post.
