OK I saw this 15/15 without context but THIIISSSS!!! I'm a state employee who works with law and science (seriously I have the coolest job) and I often remind people that, yes, we cannot discuss partisan politics BUT we can discuss *policy*! We are experts and can share expertise!! And we should!!!

Tonight's Family D&D night: Crabs in a barn!! Because a Quasit found a wand of crab summoning and figured a barn was a great place to make itself a nice crab buffet. The party now has a wand of crab summoning. This will never ever come back to bite me.

I have set up for whole body donation (aka donating my body to science) through my local medical school. PSA! People have to do this individually while they are alive, you can't put it in a will or have your next-of-kin do it! Your closest medical college will have info about it!!

It's true. 1903 house. We refer to a lot of our work as "unremodeling." Highlights include: wood paneling everywhere, the garden hose hooking up a shower and tiled into a bathroom wall, and the upstairs deck that had never been sealed/waterproofed.

This also came up at the campout! A lot of the other parents are medical providers but one just outright asked if my eye was ok rather than going right into the stroke screening 🤣

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

Another one of my least favorite types of parenting advice: Whatever the variant of the day is of: Always remember, that thing you don't like is developmentally appropriate behavior, and also, it's your fault it's happening.
