Might’ve just stumbled across an “aging parents” strategy. There are a bunch of things in my parent’s pantry they need to get rid of. So I just asked if I could have the fondue pot.

Reader, I am going to throw it away, but now we didn’t have the fight about throwing it away.

On our half-day today,we are watching G Willow Wilson’s inspiring Ted Talk on creating Ms Marvel, the importance of seeing ourselves in our heroes, and being bold. Also - the new Poison Ivy annual is absolute fire - parallels the Arthurian legends in a new and beautiful way. A must read. @gwillow.me

I think I'm pretty objective when it comes to DWTS and dances from celebs I don't like but at the end of the day DWTS will never just be about dancing for me because between Alix and Robert I think I enjoyed more Alix dances but am I happier with Robert winning because of their personalities? Yes

Today the ATM took 400 of my dollars, said it was returning the cash because it couldn't accept more cash, didn't do that, then I got a receipt wherein the robot basically said "Oopsies. Money gone. 🤷🏼‍♀️"

Children certified in Gemini, a product that amplifies bias, misinformation, and environmental degradation?

K-12 schools should ignore this and encourage kids to think past the genAI hype.
Feeling queasy now I've learned that Google is not only now offering Gemini ambassador certificates to teachers but also awarding students and *children* to be corporate AI mascots. Coercive normalization of commercialized digital education. blog.google/outreach-ini...

Sometimes teaching and coaching is really challenging. And sometimes the middle schoolers will spontaneously start doing the chicken dance in public. So it all balances out.

She just started her official campaigning today. I know that 3rd party politicians typically have thrown a wrench into recent elections, but I'm curious to see how this plays out in a state like Tennessee. Need to do a lot more research on her. Anyone have any info about her?

I know someone who also went thru this treatment & it gave them their life back, but in her case she was selected for a clinical trial, so treatment was free. Otherwise, this treatment is largely inaccessible: hard to find in North America & cost OP $17k w/in span of 10 weeks
This is for all people with #CEBV #LongCOVID #Lyme #autoimmune and other issues that are debilitating. I had CEBV and Long Lyme. Got Lyme at 19 playing tag in the woods near Salem, OR. When I finally was cured, I was 51! It and CEBV stole SO MUCH of my life. This post is the story of how I won!🙌🏼 🧵

I get one of these emails a day. Sometimes more. All from different addresses so I can't block 'em.
There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.
