@tcboyle.com I thought "oh no, another big snake and a newborn" 🫣 I enjoyed it!

Aww, c'mon now! Do you think "middle aged" women should just become what men think they are? Old, done, sexless, invisible? She's not even 40! I'm 42, and I have stars in my eyes, and I hope they never fade - and I hope yours don't either!

I too was "you peopled" by my neighbor who gave me a ride home once and my offense was making small talk about bump outs being installed nearby 😅 he said "you people, you .. bike transplants" lol I was like "actually moving to this city allowed me to get rid of my car." We cool, but jeez!

Trying the Amtrak Northeast Regional's caprese sandwich! It is a wet sandwich in a bag, but it is a tasty wet sandwich in a bag 👌🤷🥖

I stand there and do the whole eye contact/wave of acknowledgement song and dance and six, seven drivers pass right by - sometimes they're even looking at me! Yielding to crosswalks isn't just for when you're feeling benevolent enough to press your big toe, it's the law.

Elder Millennial here with this exact experience 😂 my mom would sometimes turn down the music for a second to make sure some of the industrial stylings weren't actually the car having a mechanical issue!

Drivers, you HAVE to start stopping at crosswalks again. It has been so bad lately at path crossings, and yesterday someone actually t-boned my front wheel in the crosswalk. Bike is fine, I'm fine, but it's just always too close for comfort when a moving vehicle makes contact with you or your bike.

I'm a personnel admin in the division of science at our institution and we assist with H1B applications. Basically none of the postdocs/research staff are able to be paid over $100k and the application fees themselves are a burden on the sponsoring lab. I'm also glad to see this data/recognition 👍

Taylor Swift discourse on Bluesky is cringe pseudo-intellectual trash. Like, just DON'T SAY ANYTHING if you would never stoop to listening to her music and hate her new album on principle. And everyone with a hot take and a large following is turning off their replies 👍 🙄

Necesitamos un nuevo verbo: slappar, to slap. Como se dice??

Segundo: Taqueria El Amigo! I knew these would be good because this place has slapped for all eternity. Pollo y al pastor; no pineapple chunks and I like it this way. Horchata to go 🚲🌮

I see other emblems with different incarnations of a snake, so that must be an associated symbol - but alas I'm not sure who the original artist is!

I have embellished mi bandera

My black and white flag that says CHINGA LA MIGRA with the image of a cat holding a snake in its jaws, with four buttons attached that say fuck ice, defend immigrant rights, due process for all, and protect your neighbors
