The quoted image does not have alt text but it is a cover of the book "Life, Law & Liberty: A Memoir" by Justice Anthony Kennedy

In Milwaukee, it's Miller Park (some even say County Stadium even though that was torn down 25 years ago)

My child who is 15 and born a year after the name change and never lived in Illinois calls that big building in Chicago the Sears Tower

It was Captain Underpants for my kid, too

Who was hot boxing in the elevator at work today? Jeez.

Ahhh yes I know that song

It's on the album, "Can You Believe They Went To Brunch Right After The Rally"

What on earth is “true organizing?”

Stacie Rosenzweig @ethicking.com · 1d

Yes!

This skeet is brought to you by the mom of a kid who didn't really read until second grade and then took off with Captain Underpants

I later learned he could actually read OK but didn't want to deal with the boring "leveled readers" so he just...didn't

He is 15 and still somewhat ungovernable

Fart jokes get some kids reading, so give them fart jokes

Granted, our party of four in 2022 included an extra teenage boy, and our party of four in 2025 instead included a teenage girl eating in the presence of a new BF so that may have something to do with it

Interestingly, we were in Panera yesterday (it's what's near the self-pick apple orchard) and it was $45 for four, which is a lot less than the $63 we spent in 2022, and in line with the $36 we spent for 3 in 2023

I don't know if we're making more prudent choices or if Panera is

They're $10-14 here in Milwaukee (though adding lobster to a potato or mac and cheese kicks that up significantly) and meant to be shared between 2-3 people

People are drinking a lot less overall

A record-low 54% of Americans say they drink alcohol, as a majority now believe moderate drinking is unhealthy.

Regardless of risk tolerance I don't think "address will be provided upon RSVP" is great for a protest. (I understand it needs to happen for some fundraisers and meetings.)

"Instead of making our second graders (which means their moms) sell wrapping paper so that the school can make $1.97 on $15 worth of purchases, can I just ask people for $15 and not have to deal?"

That does not go over well on main but some of the moms quietly shoot thumbs-up and nod at you

I oversimplified--it's specific to one person's situation. The group is MothersEsquire Worldwide.

Stacie Rosenzweig @ethicking.com · 2d

Yeah I did not/do not fit in with most IRL mom groups, be it a meetup or the PTO

This one is Facebook so I can pop in and out and that's for the best--I've gotten a couple of referrals from there

It’s that one, but it could just easily be something else, it comes up enough

Ditto the "now we can slow down and appreciate what matters" people during the covid shutdowns.

Stacie Rosenzweig @ethicking.com · 2d

I realize I am not a sentimental person--I lost my job when I was pregnant and I wanted to bite the head off of people who said thinks like "now you can get paid in snuggles!!!" as though that would pay my mortgage or restore my self-worth.

but I had absolutely no reservations about him being in care, and then later, me going on trips without him. (23 is my stepson so there is a different dynamic there.)

I'm lucky to have worked at a decent place for the last 11 years, so I've not had to miss much that was important to him. /end

For me, it's not really either (though if I had to choose, it's closer to the other way around). Some like having their little kids at their feet when they work. A lot feel guilty about leaving their kids at daycare or going on a business trip. Granted, I did not travel when my son was tiny, 1/
