Let's do a pinned, occasional thread of music I have on my phone. I've been working on queering my music library as much as I can, though there are a few longtime faves that are staying in rotation regardless.

Sided with Joann, so your instinctive dislike was spot on

Oh, you're pretty much gold then. It's happening very much when it's supposed to - even a week out the gum tissue should be pretty well healed over, barring any problems

Depends. How long has it been?

This one is handmade by one of the other vendors at NY Sheep and Wool and I bought it about a decade ago for around $100. Worth every penny

Not really, just very thin. When I've forgotten to pack it for trips, I've made do folding a towel to the right thickness and putting that in a pillowcase

Side sleeper now, was a stomach sleeper most of my life until my neck got too arthritic

The pillows itself has a very thin wool batt inside, so it's less than an inch thick. Any thicker and I'm pretty much guaranteed to get a migraine

The pillows the homeowners think this bed needs vs the only pillow that doesn't give me a migraine (that I have to take everywhere with me for this reason)

A full-sized bed with six very thick and fluffy pillows stacked up at the head of the bed

Just seeing the fucking autocorrect 🙄

We've stayed here for NY Sheep and Wool for I think a decade or so now, and it's always interesting to see what the owners have done with it. They definitely have money, but we do sometimes question their choices

I just had to explain to David what a chuck chair is

Mid-century modern style steel-framed chair upholstered in mustard-colored velvet sitting at the foot of a bed next to a dark walnut-colored dresser. A tripod floor lamp is to the left, the white, wide-slat blinds are slightly askew, and there is a black and white abstract art piece hanging on the wall

My weekly hour-long Thursday call is wrapping up after a half hour. Which is good since I'm technically on leave/furlough today

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine - Bolts

Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

Israel killed 3 Palestinians today

Israel is still not allowing UNRWA to deliver aid. UNRWA said they have enough food to supply Palestinians for 3 months. Israel hasn’t let them bring any aid into Gaza in 7 months.

The cookies, of course, are a delicious perk, but this is why I'm more than happy to support the Girl Scouts

Barracks Life 🇺🇸🪖🌈 🎃 @barrackslife.com · 1d

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

I remember seeing a presentation a number of years ago about a murine virus carried in by house mice that caused illnesses in a research facility in KY, iirc. I don't remember what the virus was, though. I did externship on the Navajo rez in fall of '93, after the hanta outbreak. Mice. Everywhere.
