The *playwright* for Wicked is an apparently straight woman. However, the *music and lyrics* for Wicked were written by a man who's… apparently bisexual and poly???
N.B. he hasn't said anywhere that he's poly, but like, what do you call it when you're in two simultaneous nonsecret relationships…?

Now I'm just a simple mom with simple questions, but what the fuck kind of religion objects to hearing and vision screenings? And why should we allow them to have any say in ensuring students get screened???
![HEARING & VISION SCREENING INFORMATION:
All 8th grade students and students new to the state of Maryland will be screened at the [redacted] Hearing and Vision Clinic on 12/5/25. The rescreen date is 12/11/25. Parents may OPT out of screenings for religious reasons. Please email the school nurse stating you would like your student to opt out of the Hearing and Vision Clinic. EMAIL: [redacted]
If your student wears glasses or contact lenses, please make sure your student wears them on the screening day.
Thank you,

My in-laws got me this hooded shawl some years back, and when the weather is turning wintry like it is right now, I like nothing more than to cuddle up in it and nod off on the couch 🥰

I googled "make a desert and call it peace" because I saw someone use it and I forgot where it's from (answer: an ancient dude named Calgacus, don't ask me more, I'm not a historian), but check out this Google AI overview, and NB I did not misspell "desert"!!! (More recipe in alt text.)

FIFTY PERCENT IN "DUTIES"?!?!? What the ACTUAL FUCK. This is from Hobbii, a yarn store in Copenhagen. I'm going to have to scale WAY back on what I was hoping to buy tonight, from "I want to start a new project and I have to finish the current one" to just the latter. God DAMN.

This evening I was able to bless my sister with the knowledge of Theo Von's hair transplant and she was crying with laughter. Never forget: his stupid fucking mullet is hair plugs.

Very mild spoiler for the Oct 2025 GAMES Double Cross. Am I crazy in thinking this is a nutso clue? Like yes, π=circ/diam, which is a ratio, but I'd argue that pi is "notably" irrational (and ∴ not the ratio of any 2 integers) more than it's "notably" that formula. Is this my terminal math brain?

I watched a friend play some Silksong today, and guys, I don't get it. I don't. I get cozy games; I get fun games; I get games where the plot is the point. This is an uncozy, unfun game with no discernible plot. I only feel emboldened to post this because of this Doobus YT community post.
