Jokes suggesting Trump and Musk are gay seem like a slur, even though some of those jokes are tickling my funny bone.

Somehow I feel like the term “Karen” is kind of a sexist racist slur but the term “clutching pearls” is useful.

My kid: I don’t know how to draw a heart.
Me: you make a triangle on one side and a butt on the other

Me: is a fart a bubble?
My kid: well, technically yes, one that pops.

It just occurred to me that nearly every good thing in this world was spawned by something terrible, real or imagined. Prove me wrong.

I tell my kid “please be 1000% ready” when it’s time to go so they don’t keep me waiting. I try to hold myself to that too. While we should always give each other grace, let’s save the excuses for when we really need them.

I wanna make some viral
slang. “dum” adj. used to describe something tongue-in-cheek as *so* dumb that it’s not even worth spelling dumb correctly. May only be used for positive humor. Trolls banned.

Shoot me an example of how you would use this.

There’s a huge group of people at a crosswalk and only 1 need to hit the button for us all to safely cross. Ain’t that nice.

I tell my 10 yr old they’re closer to being an adult than a baby. Just thought to myself- I may be closer to death than birth. 😱

I see the author’s point, but where are there visualizations of the alternative? medium.com/@eec/this-eq...
This ‘Equity’ picture is actually White Supremacy at work
We’ve all seen this picture, right? Well it’s time to move on.

At its best, marketing introduces you to products and services that enhance your quality of life. At its worst, it’s a predatory scam. We need guardrails.

Why do I celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

1- The cultural soft power is strong in America- including the commercialization- and who doesn’t love a good parade?
2- The Irish people I’ve been lucky to encounter in life have been an absolute joy, starting with Dr. Finnegan at Montgomery College. …..

There are limits to the notion that you gotta break some eggs to make omelettes. Who votes for let’s let the healthcare system fail for the most vulnerable so it marginally works for a slim majority of privileged folk?

For the first time, I blocked a Bluesky follower because they seemed fake. When my popularity takes off, I’m going to need a social media team.

“Don’t talk about politics” - say those who are privileged to be insulated from the effects of bad policy on victims and their allies.

I need more purple carrot for this moqueca and a side of blueberries to round out my rainbow meal ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I tell my 10 yr old that they’re closer to being an adult than being a baby 🥹.

That being said, should 9th birthdays 🎂 play on that theme, and is there a way I can launch a business that monetizes that so I can make millions 🤑 and retire early?

Look at me, I updated my profile so it’s searchable by name and differentiating from other Mai Nguyen’s. Could use some more pizazz but oh well.

Mint chocolate chip ice cream- so extra satisfying when it has zero food coloring.

My 8 year old, when I ask them to do something or try to get their attention, have been annoyingly and immediately quipping “One sec! One sec!” I retorted “No secs!” And caught myself befuddled.

I love DCA airport and just booked a flight from there. Lightning can’t strike twice, right? …or can it?

So many lives lost 💔

Incredible article: use a dud email address to read it:

3D analysis shows how helicopter pilots could have mixed up jets in DCA crash
From the perspective of the helicopter cockpit, the lights of the incoming American Airlines jet could have also been obscured by the glow of the city skyline, pilots said.
