I’m generally a “let people like what they like as long as they aren’t hurting anyone” person but the people who put hentai characters on their cars might be an exception

We are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss. Commuter rail, we are often told, operates at a loss. But we spend even more on street and highways, and take in little direct revenue from them. Yet no one ever says they are operating at a loss.

It's not only breathtakingly corrupt, it's manifestly illegal, no matter what permission is received from a cowardly and compromised Department of Justice.

It has been 0 days since I accidentally scared the shit out of a stranger

Can’t import dolls for kids but we can import more white supremacist neonazis

Poisoning the air of a Black community for a fucking chatbot.

Can I add in my will who should get any debts because I don’t like my closest living relative and am happy to offload debt onto them but I want to give my assets to someone I do like and also I think it would be funny

Not gonna lie despite it being Teacher Appreciation week I’ve never felt less appreciated by my district, admin, students, parents of my students, and ya know the federal government and society more broadly

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

It’s fun when the first book in a series has low-stakes conflict that gets resolved easily with open communication and then the next book is like “but what if they were pulled into a crime syndicate?” or “what if the new main character is a ghost even though there was no previous mention of magic?”

I’m moving to middle school Social Studies next year (grade level unknown) after 12 years at 8th ELA and ngl I am excited to not have to teach writing anymore

A red winged blackbird landed on Fred’s tail and Fred was trying to fly away and kept pecking at Fred until they were out of range. They also harassed a raven yesterday, the blackbirds are official pond rulers right now

Happy Tom Holland Shows How to Man Day to all who celebrate.

ADHD hack: if 0 object permanence means there are spaces you only realize need cleaning when you are in them (e.g. the shower, your car), leave the cleaning tools in that space so you can do it when you notice it. A scrub brush and castile soap live in my shower and consequently my shower is clean

I’ve reached the unfortunate time period before playing soccer where if I eat something I’ll feel sick but if I don’t eat something I’ll feel sick and fall down

Fred left a couple minutes after this, which brings the standings to Fred 0 red-winged blackbirds 2

Ok tea people who’s got a recommendation for a good earl grey

I don’t understand rich people with boring stuff. Like you have all that money and you DON’T buy gorgeous ceramics and dish ware from independent artists? Your curtains are BEIGE?! Your yard is just LAWN!!‽???! What a waste of financial freedom

Clear bag policy definitely would include apple bags

Small house, single dweller hack: buy lemon juice and make lemonade in the desired amounts as needed. Cheaper, takes up less fridge/pantry space, can customize sweetness, use sparkling or still water as the mood strikes AND generates significantly less plastic waste

Yet again I suddenly realize I am not wearing my glasses but with no memory of where or when I took them off

I saw some ADHD mom reel and parents were listing all the supplements and medications and neuropathic treatments and meditation apps and some mat thing they use to get their kids to fall asleep and I’m like “have they tried pretending they are someone who is sleeping” bc 9/10 times that works for me

More scribble birb

99.9% of Americans won’t hear that Trump killed this program. And at 2,000 additional dead kids or so each year, most people will have no idea what was lost.

The old Washington Post.

I decided to try scribble drawing with colored pencil and it is very very fun

Finally, some good news!

I have come to the realization that my aversion to socks is not because of how they feel on my feets it’s because dealing with socks as a laundry item is really annoying

That this country has 100 billionaires and still has appalling levels of poverty, homelessness, and medical bankruptcy is just appalling.

In today’s pond drama, we have 9 new baby Wood Ducks, Fred the heron is till trying to hunt babies (unsuccessfully so far, thank god), and a territorial red-winged blackbird just attacked a Canada goose that tried to climb the dam (1-0 in favor of the blackbird)
