My parents call that "roly-poly" -- my cat does that every time we come in the door to greet us 😻

Honestly, "Levi Johnston's Blues" is such an underrated Ben Folds track; it's way less dated than its surface subject matter would suggest. Basically about how Christian conservatism ruins teens' lives.

Tbh I get so annoyed with celebrity Jeopardy that I only watch this one because I'm a big Conan (and Andy) fan 🤣 So I didn't know about the other good ones! I'm also an Abbott Elementary fan, so I'll have to check out LAW's run :)

Look I know it'll shock you to know this, but we are almost out of archeologists AGAIN.

Do you know any archeologists? Are they willing to be matched with a LEGO team?

Please send 'em our way we need all hands on deck (STILL!)

We have had 585 requests for archeologists 🫠

And I say that as a Jeopardy enthusiast-- usually celebrity Jeopardy is annoying bc the contestants are mainly there to chat and make jokes while raising money for charity, but Andy was there to play some fucking Jeopardy!

Rockstar AU Ed singing "You Better, You Bet", is this anything?

Lmao, same and I'm not even from there, I just lived there for 12 years 🤣

I never accepted "on line", though, and I never will, lol

Oh my god, I'm almost at goal now, between pirates and comrades and family and friends 😭 Thank you all so so so much!!

I am now confident that I will not need to either use the pump that doesn't work well for me, or move back in with my parents; neither would be good for my health! 😭❤️

Hey all, I just learned that there's 0% chance my insurance is going to reimburse me for what I've already paid out of pocket for my insulin pump supplies (which is a lot, like $1500).

If y'all could spare some change and/or spread this around, I would greatly appreciate it!

Ugh... it seems to be working okay now as long as I stream it from my phone instead of going through the tv app! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

So I've started using Qobuz!

I just tried using it from my Chromecast, and it kept "skipping" like it was buffering but never catching up for more than a few seconds.

This didn't happen when I was using it from my phone, through a BT speaker, yesterday.

Is it just that Chromecast/google sucks??

Yes, even the ones (like the principal and the Black cops) who didn't want this to happen but let it happen anyway. How are you gonna be more scared of disobeying orders, as a fully grown adult, than of letting children go to a jail w/solitary?

Sara C @norskheks.bsky.social · 1d

This is a long story, researched in detail, and every section is like, damn that's heinous, and then the next section dumps some more heinous facts on the pile of what is already utter heinousness.

Every single adult involved except the parents needs to lose their job if they haven't already.

Judge Donna Scott Davenport oversaw a juvenile justice system in Rutherford County, TN, with a staggering history of throwing children in jail.

In one case, 11 Black children, as young as 8, were arrested for a crime that doesn't exist.

Lmao it's important!! 🤣 If you have a cookout in Rochester with non-Zweigles hot dogs, you'll have some disappointed and upset people on your hands (or more likely, someone will volunteer to go to Wegmans and get some bc the cookout can't go on without them, lmao)

I don't like it either. If Buffalo is midwest, then so is Rochester. They're basically the same culture, except white Buffalonians are more Polish and white Rochesterians are more Italian, and we have different hot dog brand loyalties.

A rare day where, even though I am still tired and don't have any pressing work to do, I felt compelled to get out of bed and start the day anyway.

Will I regret this later? Probably! 🤷🏻

Sara C @norskheks.bsky.social · 3d

That's funny bc at that age I was obsessed with Ancient Egypt 😅 And now I have your lovely ofmd deck!! 🥰
