not to be dramatic but working for social security I personally treated it like I was a fishermen of men’s souls. working with people especially on that intimate of a level, you literally take an oath to do your best. you have to be able to care for someones soul or GTFO. every call was an excercise
That was my understanding too. Like Rosalie Sorrels saying if it's from the Bible that's a hymn, not a folksong.
Do you have an opening for a garden report? I just want to be able to tell the other biddies that I write for InfoWars.
Huh. I always wondered why they named a very dicey strip club in Vancouver after the thing, maybe it's the "gilt and glamour" followed by "gaudy and extremely uncomfortable, smoky and damp" because that was certainly true.
Cabot Cove is lovely in the summer but I can only visit when Jessica Fletcher is out of town.
Cancer sun, cancer moon, cancer rising, born early because I wanted to be part of Hurricane Carol's record storm surge and then continue drowning tyranny for all my days.
Begin as we mean to go on, right.
One of my favorite cheat codes on the interwebs is that the Wayback Machine has every owners manual that was ever published online. I've used it to fix ancient propane refrigerators and I'll bet it has studio mix boards and LINAC scan stuff too, or check Penta Labs?
Come Downeast and we can go to that exact same place except they also sell bait and you can get your flu shot.
This is definitely a Clue house
I'm going to find this town and open a housecleaning service and be set for life.
Note to self; don't pick the primroses without permission.
Stephen Miller just now, feeling a great disturbance in the Force.
Kudos everyone on creating a thread I don't mind reading at lunch today!
To add, my kid slept on a straw and horsehair pallet for years b/c we inherited it with a 200 yo bed (and we were poors). It took him a surprisingly long time to get comfy on a modern mattress, "too squishy".
I've never thought "leave a beautiful corpse" was worth all the throwing up involved, but that might be the hindsight kicking in.
I've seen this movie and honestly, this is the safest space available right now.

Robert Altman's "Quintet". All winter, all the time.
No beta we die like Strunk and White
They would love you to think it was NPR but it was more likely the Whole Earth Catalog
Truly, we live in an age of wonders.
I feel that everyone in Thoreau's family would have been very supportive just get this nugget his HRT stat
Oooo, Guilin is a special place! The tour guides at Huangyao Ancient Town are amazing.
I want them to get some kind of psychic penalty for the nightmares I have at least once a month.
NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.
'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
It could be one of those wooden Lazy Susan wheels with segments labeled "more", and "ask again later", and "mine".
They're trying to manufacture a wealthy Good Guy image as the warehouses burn. It's not going to work but I suppose their bosses have to try.
Great to know that Pearl Fryar's lifetime of art will live on.
Periwinkle blue!
Three or four cups of black coffee are the highlight moments of my day so I only read about these things to torture myself but yeah, "Ryze"
