My pale AF redheaded coworker had the n-slur thrown at him repeatedly while he was driving. Folks can be… let’s say inaccurate… with their slurs.
(he was kind of confused and bemused, which is why he told me about it. He had the top of his car down, his skin and hair were visible)
Yesterday’s technology today at tomorrow’s prices?
One of the underrated benefits of dating someone who is dating someone else is that, when my boyfriend does something silly, I get to tattle to his girlfriend.
“Your boyfriend did blah.”
And then we get to giggle about how cute he is.
Currently two doses of the MMR vaccine in childhood are recommended in the US, as of 1989 iirc. I got a fresh dose recently as an adult because I knew I’d had the first MMR shot but wasn’t sure about the second, plus I really don’t want measles. The pharmacy didn’t give any pushback when I asked for the shot.
Erin in the Morning is a reputable source, too. That blog has been sharing trans girl scout cookies for years.
At least there’s a sidewalk. That’s more walkable than some places I’ve lived.
Some folks just don’t get that not everyone loves guns or wants to have them around. When we visited my in-laws, my partner’s dad tried to insist he bring home his childhood guns. We lived in Massachusetts at the time, a state notorious for not handing gun permits out willy-nilly, and neither of us had a permit. Dad was like “just keep in in your car, it’ll be fine”. We drove a hatchback, we didn’t even have a locking trunk, much less a gun safe.
We did not go home with any guns on that visit.
Partner’s next visit, partner flew and his dad tried to give him guns again. Still no gun permit. Yeah, let’s fly through Logan airport with a gun in carry-on luggage. Never mind partner was flying to a third state prior to heading back to Massachusetts. Just nuts.
It’s what’s available within walking distance of my office. That’s the only reason I ever go there–to pick up a sandwich and a coffee over lunch.
It means I didn’t finish my thought. Oops. I’ll go back and edit.
Plastic recorders are great. They’re portable, durable, and most 5th graders have one. Only downside I see is you can’t blow them through a gas mask.
Low quality ones are also wicked cheap. ($2 at my local dollar store)
I’m a public (state) employee. My name, title, and salary are posted publicly. I don’t see why ICE agents shouldn’t enjoy that same level of transparency.
I used to get them as a kid, trick or treating. I kind of miss them in a messed-up nostalgia way.
I want them to only know “hot cross buns”.
I love mine. They’re also autistic, have dogs, and call me out when I try and change the subject off of something difficult. At first I worried that meeting over video call would affect how body language is read, but, no, seems to work fine.
My first therapist was also great and had a dog. Maybe that’s the rule?
Oh, and fuck health insurance sideways. They’re consistently at least 6 months behind in reimbursing me for seeing an out-of-network therapist.
The creator is active on a professional slack I’m on and they’re lovely and receptive to user feedback. Their tool is very popular in the online archives/cultural heritage scene (we combine small budgets and juicy, juicy data).
My site has enabled js-free screening when the site load is low, under the theory that if the site load is too high then no one’s getting in anyway.
Please let me invert y-axis for games where I control the field of view. Nothing takes me out of a game like suddenly staring at my feet when I try to look up.
I’ve heard obesity is a protective element in older age: less likely to break bones and such even in a fall. I’m also curious about the statistics for fat folks in crashes.
I know a few trans librarian acquaintances who got the fuck out of Florida because the legal environment was getting too spicy. So yes, generally agree that if you fear criminal prosecution for doing your job something is wrong. In the trans librarian case, it’s Florida. In Doge’s case it was their behavior.
Not sure where I’m going with this, thinking on which set of folk feared repercussions enough to change something (environment or behavior)

Plenty of kids go to the library. When I worked in a public library, it’d be fun to check in books and find a stack of 20 toddler books on, say, “dinosaurs” or “dump trucks”. You could tell when someone’s kid went through a phase.
