Your periodic reminder that relinquishment (giving your own children to strangers) is not just another "choice" on the prochoice agenda. It is an act of desperation and absolute choicelessness.

Important read. The one thing I bristled at is the title “adoption should also be a choice”. Since the vast majority of people who lose their children to adoption do so because they lack financial/social support, it’s impossible for me to see it as anything other than a decision driven by oppression

Y'all, the bike ride to the gym where I do strength training used to take me 30 minutes, then 28, then 25, and today 22 minutes, a personal best. 🏆 (Keep in mind that I ride a very entry level MTB and it is not made for speed!)

Shout out to the driver who was so impatient and mad that I wouldn't ride my bike into traffic coming from my left that they drove over the curb to make a right hand turn rather than wait their turn like a normal person. 👍🏼

I sent a mail merge via Outlook on Friday and now apparently Outlook considers me a spammy sender and won't let me email anyone. Maybe this is a blessing.

I had to try to switch back to Classic Outlook from New Outlook and now have a message that says "one moment..." and an endless circle and ChatGPT informs me that this might take up to 20 minutes just so I can mail merge.

Cat people who know about these things; my cat managed to get paint (like wall paint) on herself today. Will it come off? Can I leave her to get it off? So I have to try to get paint off my cat? Halp.

"Rehabilitation centers" is, of course, code for state-sponsored and church-run institutions that practiced forced adoption. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

I track the phenology in my yard, particularly the first BIG RAIN of the season (on a spreadsheet!). Today is the day, only a day later than in 2024. ⛈️⛈️⛈️
