Some of my sparkly girls on my elementary run have been *activated* by this. #SchoolBud

Had a guy fully lean out and flip me off when I put on my reds this morning. Guess he thought I'd wait until he'd passed even tho I'd had my ambers on for at least 200' before I stopped. I'm just trying to safely load 6 yr old Penelope, GARY SORRY YOU WERE INCONVENIENCED FOR 15 SECS #SchoolBus

BOOOOOOOO! πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž "...this isn't any different from a Jan 6 situation" are you fucking kidding me?? If you live in NZ please follow this person around and hiss whenever they talk

It's just graft on graft. Graft all the way down. Just when you think you've reached the bottom, what do you find? More graft!

I just did this and it was very soothing.

Dudes that make a truck their whole personality

I'm home sick with Coxsackie virus. I'm feeling terrible and very sorry for myself. 😞 Working on a Scourie slouch hat (by Woolly Wormhead). I find knitting these sideways hats very soothing. Need to build up my supply of hats, mitts, and cowls for the next school year. 🧢

Check out my fancy new mask dec! Got this from @steadirob.bsky.social. I think it looks a bit like Cthulhu. #FloMask

The clouds are really doing something this dawn.

VERY IMPORTANT WRAPPING PAPER UPDATE

I love hugs, because it's touch that doesn't require face to face interaction. This is why I don't like kissing. Too much face too close! Waaaaay overstimulating. Quick cheek smooches, ok. Potential eye contact from inches away? *shudder*

I just got a message from a specialist (MD) I saw a couple days ago with the opening, "Hi Ms Nope," blah blah blah. I responded with, "It's actually Dr. Nope, but you can call me FirstName" blah blah blah. I don't want him to feel bad, and I don't usually play that card, but I'm in a mood today.

I don't suffer fools lightly. Unfortunately, almost all 6th grade boys are fools. #SchoolBus

Who Is the Lady Trying to Upend Disability Law?

I'm so here for this

It enrages me that I can't buy my own tabletop wizard science machine since I live in the U.S.! I suppose I can use mail forwarding service like when I order tests a couple years back, but it shouldn't be that hard.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

Guess what: this spreads via airborne transmission too. Another reason to regulate indoor air. Vaccines work better when air is cleaner, says math www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/w...

I'm beginning to feel my contempt for Vance is growing so large it's becoming this physical thing that's going to crawl out of my mouth and go off to hunt and consume him.

I started a new book & am knitting on my cecropia cowl 😌 I can’t put it down now that the moth is emerging 🧢

All, most of you know by now what happened to me in February. I've written an essay about this for @harpersbazaar.uol.com.br.web.brid.gy, and I hope you'll give it a read:

Two and a half years of torture is over! My third Persian Tiles blanket. #Crochet

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes? Fuck ALL the way off.

Panda Express banning employees from wearing masks because mask wearing goes against their "hospitality philosophy" (though the ban even includes their back-of-the-house employees). Good things they're not a food service company, and their employees get unlimited sick leave. Whoops!

We were under a small craft advisory today, and let me tell you that a school bus counts as a 'small craft' in these conditions! I practically have to tack into the wind on the bridges.
