Just incase anyone is on the fence about kids, I would like to inform you that mine got mad and bit me when I was trying to give him some ibuprofen. Now I have a bag of frozen blueberries icing my boob.

He broke skin.

Through my shirt and padded bra.

Just clamped on like a pitbull. :(

It's a tearjerker.
My 8yo wrote a little book and just asked me: "Can you send this to a publisher? I'd love to get it printed."

The kids loves to read and write and draw. Hope it stays that way!

me, librarian: I think information should be organized and structured logically so that searches are high in precision and recall

tech industry, 2000: nope, keyword searching and opaque relevance rankings are what you’ll get

I think "woke" was at least partly identified with "irritating" and the way we're rectifying that in Woke 2 is by being scary instead

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

There is something really magical about the fresh sheets and shaved legs combo. It feels so luxurious.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Gave the neighbor cat a knit glove to play with, and now it's all airplane ears, running around attacking everything. It's so cute to see cats act like kittens again.

My neighbors have a pair of hens, and they just sit and stare at each other and softly bock and touch beaks at each other all day.

"What about their promising future?" never seems to apply to the victims, only the rapists.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.

And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.

Sit with that.

Therapy’s nice.

But have you ever drawn yourself running over your enemies while screaming “Eat my rubber?”

Ahhhhhh! Very zen!

I made some bomb-ass homemade gingerale, and I'm just really excited about that.

He already fucking lives here. His family lives here. His school is here. He just only had his Canadian passport at the time and had to compete for Canada because he was born there. Read with your eyes instead of your asshole.

This is what I keep saying to people. Something a lot of people forget is that many of the people who said, "This won't affect me. I'm not a Jew. I'm loyal to Hitler." still ended up sent to camps, even when they did everything to comply with the Nazis.
