Reader, teacher, and nerd in Pittsburgh, PA. Into language, food, and theater. Raising two awesome kids with the mad scientist and the canine co-parent. (Please, no DMs unless we know each other.)
This video makes me so happy. Looking forward to seeing Home Depot join Target in the ranks of "large corporations post-FAFO".

Aw, thank you. My son and I were very fortunate/ privileged compared to many others. But it gave me an appreciation for all the bullshit that WAY too many people go through when having babies in this country.

1,000% agree. When I had my oldest, the experience permanently wrecked my trust in medical practitioners. It was far too much like this Monty Python sketch, except not funny (but now this makes me laugh until I cry):

Kat, as a churchgoing Christian, I want to offer the apology you'll (probably) never get from this misguided woman for her unhinged, bullying behavior. Faith is not a weapon of choice for mean girls. I pray for your strength, peace, and safety. Keep it up and Godspeed.

I greatly enjoyed them in my morning coffee as well. There's a unique vanilla flavor.

This is both a straw man argument and a false dichotomy. I never said Biden has any obligation to say anything. But, if he does, I get to respond to it however I damn well please. I can actually criticize Dick Cheney, AND the former president publicly praising a horrible human being.

Hell no. I refuse to accept that there's no middle ground between Trump's Nazi verbal diarrhea and Biden's unprompted postmortem sane-washing of a depraved, opportunistic war criminal. Prioritizing selective "civility" over the truth only benefits people who have some reason to hide it.

Dude, I've been voting against Republican bullshit in EVERY election for the 20+ years I've been old enough. I've also consistently protested, donated, contacted my reps, and more. The worth of your hot take on what I "allow" or "deserve" falls somewhere between Tesla stock and Trump bitcoin.

Seriously, if you add feta into the avocado and subtract the caviar, this is part of the regular dinner rotation in our house. I guess we must eat it when we feel like being decadent af. Delicious.

This feels like a SNL sketch called "Mrs. Soprano Goes to Washington".

Update: Karma appears to have caught up with the groundhog. Can't prove anything, but the mad scientist saw a dead groundhog down the block a while back, and now we have undisturbed late collard greens and kale growing. Several months too late.

It's Spooktober, so I always read creepy shit. Currently "Little Darlings" by Melanie Golding, which is excellent. (Also very slowly working on Said's "Orientialism".)
