So there is a reason I’ve been so scared for the future. And a reason I’ve also been very happy. @tekla.bsky.social and I have an announcement to make 💕

Every year there is a huge spate of articles on alternatives to the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, and every year I wonder why. Are there no cookbooks? No recipe blogs? If you don’t like the traditional meal just make literally anything else and keep your hands off my turkey

This process accelerates first when you enter a long term romantic partnership, and then further when you have a child. At this rate I expect my baby will not learn standard English until she goes to school. Also she will think her legal name is Buggums
Is anyone else's language privately degenerating (or evolving, reaching its true potential?) through a series of ironic vowel shifts?
This one is running rampant in my own speech right now:
Bug --> Boog
Hug --> Hoog
Slug --> Sloog
Blood (/blʌd/) --> Blood (/blud/)

Look, it’s unlike me to say something like this — and, frankly, a bit embarrassing — but I want to hear less about these people’s terrible decisions, loose morals, and weird sex stuff and more about this.

in the USA if you're a citizen and honk your car horn to warn people about the president's secret masked kidnappers in their unmarked cars they change the license plates on daily they'll smash your car window with the barrel of their loaded firearm, that's my suggestion for thanksgiving family talk
Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

somebody on here suggested awhile back that a pretty compelling 2028 Democrat campaign promise would be "on day one I will deploy a WPA-scale army of forensic accountants across every square inch of the federal government" and I think about that every day
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

So between the stress and lack of sleep involved in having a young baby, and recently starting Vyvanse, my jaw tension is causing me significant problems. And I just saw a mutual talking about acupuncture. So…has anyone out there done acupuncture for TMJ issues? How did it go?

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

That is what I keep saying, as someone who is attracted to women— no, it’s not terrible to see an older teenager and think she’s attractive. It’s terrible to *realize she’s a teenager* and *keep looking*
One moment that sticks in my mind from the early Robert B Parker Spenser novels is when Spenser notices an attractive lady and then realizes that she's a teenager. He immediately looks away and banishes her from his mind.
It's a throwaway moment in a book series that's a lot about how to be a man.
