One day I’ll publish the definitive ranking of Seattle coffee shops by chai quality
Why is chai the hardest thing for coffee shops to get right, it’s either so watery and bland or tastes like pure sugar

My financial aid money doesn’t show up for almost a month, I’ve been trying to sell at markets but haven’t had much luck, and my savings has been reduced to basically nothing.

I really hate asking for money but it’s a bad situation and I need help!
I’m still looking for a job that works with my school schedule, and in the meantime I could use help with bills! There are two ways to do that:

- commission a fiber art piece from me. See my pinned post for examples or dm me!

- send me $ on Venmo (kristapechacek) or PayPal (kristalauren)

Also USPS didn't loss money because it doesn't make money because it's not a business and if never makes money to begin with.

It did however deliver over 112.5 billion pieces of mail in 2024 and that doesn't even include packages.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Fozziwigs party in muppet Christmas carol
What's a fictional holiday party you would love to attend?

My answers:

--the Christmas party from Fanny and Alexander
--the Yule feast in Nicola Griffith's Hild
--the Baileys' "welcome home" party for Harry in It's a Wonderful Life
--the office party in Die Hard; I'm sure nothing will go wrong

I love companies being punished for replacing workers with AI. Gimme more
Duolingo announced it was going “AI-first” just over six months ago. Since then its stock is down 64%.

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

go slay the princess!! you gotta!
Whatever horrors you may find in these dark spaces, have heart and see them through.

There are no premature endings. There are no wrong decisions.

There are only fresh perspectives and new beginnings.

This is a love story.

SLAY THE PRINCESS is 40% off on Steam, the cheapest it's even been.

“oh so you teach kids how to say R and stuff?” because nobody outside the field knows just how vast an SLP’s scope of practice can be
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Learned something new today! If you see "utm_source=chatgpt.com" at the end of a link, that means it was a link that was generated from a ChatGPT prompt for citations. Which is how I found out that an art coach was using it to make their blog posts 🙃 1/2
