T and I painted a posterboard to look like water, intending to use it as a background for something else, but we liked how it looked so much we just hung it up on the wall. very calming and peaceful, and I like that we did it together :)

A series of posts reading, from oldest at the bottom to newest at the top: alright well it's been 18 hours since the post with my name and address has been up and reported and it's still not down, so I'll probably just see if i can get this account permanently suspended for funsies now.

I ordered a self-pubbed book of word searches designed to teach basic Norwegian vocab off ebay for like 2 bucks and these silly little intros to each puzzle are cracking me up
Family 2 Here are some more family members that you might be particularly fond of (or perhaps not) At the table Table setting etiquette dictates that the forks be placed on the left hand side of the plate and knives on the right. Here are some items that you might find on your table, probably in the wrong location. Emotions This puzzle might make you happy, angry, or maybe even a little confused. See if you can complete this very emotional puzzle by finding all of the words in the grid. Opposites 3 They say that opposites attract. See if you are attracted to the list of opposite words below.

Mamdani is mentioned one (1) time in this article—it says he and Wilson are similar on policy but do not "share a vibe"—and somehow he is in the headline, the tags, and this "more on" section at the end
“Katie was a political unknown facing a million and a half in spending from Bruce Harrell’s allies,” Mr. Mizrahi said. “That tells you something about the level of dissatisfaction with the status quo.” See more on: U.S. Politics, Zohran Mamdani More on Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani

lmao @ this random real estate agent magnanimously telling the NYT he's ~willing to give Wilson a chance~ on Thursday i.e. today i.e. after she won the election
How to respond to rampant public camping was one of the big policy differences between Ms. Wilson and Mr. Harrell. He promised more crackdowns. She preached a more patient, forgiving approach, which turned off Tom Graff, a real estate agent and commercial property manager in the Belltown district of Seattle. On Thursday, [highlighted text] Mr. Graff said he was willing to give Ms. Wilson a chance — if only because nothing else has worked. [end highlighted text] “I’m going to be optimistic and hope she can be a change maker,” he said.

morbidly amused by the NYT, hoisted by the rigidity of its own style guide, referring to the title-stripped prince as just "Andrew"
A screencap from a New York Times article showing a cutoff image of people walking across a lawn, captioned: King Charles III, Prince Harry, Andrew and Prince William in 2022. The decision to strip Andrew of his title was made by the king himself.Credit...Pool photo by Glyn Kirk Below the caption, a paragraph from the article reads: The fierce public backlash over the BBC interview led Andrew to withdraw from official duties in 2019. But his problems kept mounting. After a judge allowed a lawsuit filed by Ms. Giuffre against Andrew to go ahead in 2022, he lost his honorary military titles and use of the honorific His Royal Highness.

everything about this is incredible
The man at the heart of a high-stakes mix-up that rippled through global political journalism in the final days of the New York mayoral campaign was neither “falsely claiming” to be former Mayor Bill de Blasio — as the Times of London suggested — nor, as The New York Times wrote, a “de Blasio impersonator.” He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies. [highlighted text] “I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell [end highlight] in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida.

I wrote the EatingWell bio for Raghavan Iyer (featuring one of my favorite bio lines I've ever written, "vegetarian meals proved more elusive than gay love in small-town Minnesota") and he had this FANTASTIC quote about authenticity on a podcast. RIP a true legend of both cooking and sass
I've never liked the word authentic—or classic, or traditional—because I feel like, you know, every household, they have their own definition. And I asked somebody, I said how do you define classic? He's all, you know, my mother does this and my mother does that. I said I'm not your mother, for one thing. And I said your mother may be doing something a particular way that for her it's been passed down from generation to generation, but I said somebody else's mother will feel the same way, so I said you can't sit there putting the other mother down. So, like, your mother is the shiniest of the bunch? And especially when you try to define curry, I say it's like trying to pick up liquid off the floor. It ain't happening! It's slippery, it's slithery, you just can't get a grasp on it.

asked a Catholic friend to explain what the fuck is going on with Opus Dei and the Chicago pope, pretty sure I've got it now
Screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation reading: 1: [cut off at the top] of the old structure will go underground 2: what about like "oh that's not the real pope THIS [conservative guy] is pope actually" do they ever do that if they don't like a pope 1: oh people do that, it's absolutely a thing. there's like a parallel lineage of popes that some catholics maintain is The Real Lineage of popes 1: but not opus dei, they support the structure of the church as a direct line from what jesus himself asked the disciples to create 2: I hope they develop enough parallel popes to form a baseball team and do an exhibition game against the Cardinals but it's actual cardinals in St. Louis Cardinals uniforms. and the popes wear the pope suits 2: why hasn't anyone put me in charge of a religion yet I have great religion ideas

so apparently in (American) football the word "down" has 3 distinct meanings and it took me over an hour of pelting @tkfocht.bsky.social with questions to figure that out XD is it hockey yet
Screencap of a WhatsApp conversation reading: 1: so a down is a play that becomes down when a player is down on the ground AND being touched but that touch-down has nothing to do with a touchdown 2: It’s called a touchdown because in the roots of rugby you had to voluntarily down yourself and touch the ball to the ground in the zone 1: so for a touchdown the player is neither touched nor down 2: Rugby actually still does this, they call it a touch and the ball has to touch ground in the end zone 1: and when he IS both touched and down that is a down Screencap of a WhatsApp conversation reading: 2: Fresh from the start: Your team gets possession of the ball 2: It is now first down 2: The status is first and ten because it is first down and you have ten yards to go before you turnover the ball 2: You run a play. At the end of it the player running with the ball is brought down. 1: do you say "it's first down" during the stoppage BEFORE the play? 2: It is now second down. Second and seven, maybe. 2: Yes. “It’s first down” is the situation when you start fresh 1: I hate this lmao Screencap of a WhatsApp conversation reading: 2: And there is an etymological link between a player being down and the sequence of downs, but no one thinks about that either 2: You could replace “player is down” with “player is tackled or goes out of bounds” and you could replace “first down” with “first of four plays to go ten yards” and then never use “down” at all 2: Which would be strange admittedly it’s hard to talk about football without that word 1: [quoting a previous message of my own] so I was basically correct here? a down is used to refer both to the play and to the moment ending the play? 2: “It’s first down” means “we are about to run the first play of our allotted four” 2: I GUESS?!?!?! But again no one is thinking about that as time or moments and no one [cuts off] Screencap of a WhatsApp conversation reading: 2: I have never had to deconstruct this language like this 2: Anyway if the player was allowed to keep going and then scored they weren’t actually down anyway so 1: I think maybe they were using "down" to mean down on the ground like "and he's down" but not touched so that was... a third more colloquial meaning very close to the "on the ground and touched" meaning of the term 2: Maybe I don’t know. Was this the nfl game tonight? 1: https://bsky.app/profile/wiswell.bsky.social/post/3m2l7sn5e7c2e 2: Oh sure okay. The announcer says that the quarterback “goes down and has to get back up” but he’s never legally down because he tripped on himself or on his center

from a friend who knows fashion things
Universalstandard has buttonup shirts that look like blouses but are made of jersey so they don't gape If you want nonstretch material that doesn't gape you need to be a b cup or smaller, or make your own You could also get an oversized shirt that fits over your head & sew the button band closed most of the way Sorry that's not super helpful but basically that's an age old problem with few non-custom solutions
