Crocheted slippers in a variegated yarn of taupe and various blues, with pasty white legs and a messy home in the background.
My feet were chilly and I could do something about it so I made some slippers. We all do what we can. Do what you can and be gentle with yourself.
And Fuck ICE.
I just found out Kumail Nanjiani is gonna be on next season and I'm hype!!!
Our first neighborhood didn't have sidewalks. It was on top of my list of requirements for our second house. I feel like the essential-ness of sidewalks only becomes clear when you live without them for a bit.
I agree with you. I also will be yoinking YA DOORKNOB as an excellent, non-bad-word insult. It will join "Oh, biscuits!" in my lexicon of trying not to swear when needed.
Through no conscious effort, recently I have 1) listened to The Princess Bride audiobook, narrated by Reiner, 2) watched When Harry Met Sally, 3) listened to Cary Elwes' audiobook As You Wish, where Reiner was a contributor, read his excerpts, and obviously was the heart of the story. What a loss.
Well lookie there, a stabby duck for my younger, a dumpster fire for my older, an absolutely TF not for me, and a wtf button for my hubby to take to work with him. Tick one stocking stuffer each off the Christmas list!!
The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.
Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight
I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.
My staff at the library organized a pumpkin-decorating competition. Patron voting starts on Wednesday. Because I have old taste and no chill, here is my submission:

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.
This is always my "WTF" moment. I am raising my autistic darling as best I can, and cannot fathom them being anything other than themselves as they are, and choosing danger and death over having this delightful creature?! I could never.
My kiddo, now 17, had a torsion at age 7. It just ... happens? There's an internal structure that keeps them untwisted, that some people lack. Part of the surgery to correct it is to create that structure so it doesn't happen again.
Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results:
1) Does UBI work? (yes)
2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)
Solidarity, kiddo. Group projects suck and bad kids make them worse!
More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.
First instinct: Joan Osborne singing "What if God was One of Us" because what it lacks in detailed direction, it compensates with big "Everybody is people. Be cool to everybody" vibes.
But also, Discworld, for more detailed assistance with straightening this shit out.
Prepare for a guy punch of the best kind, from Scalzi's "Being Poor." He has written many great things, and I agree that it's among the best.
I am currently waiting on two new (cheap) Zenni pairs for my 14 yo because they continue to leave them places because their vision isn't bad ENOUGH! Before my contacts, I could never leave my glasses anywhere, because I was so blind without them. But a -1.5 script can leave those things anywhere...
Sweet baby jeebus WHY would you want to be paying someone caring for your family LESS?!??? This would simply be a path to more elder abuse and worse outcomes for our most vulnerable.
My Diego shares the belief that knee-pit naps are the best naps.
Point of order to protect the honor of Manny Jacinto's cheekbones, but .... It's certainly a close match and I adore both of them.
They are legitimately friends, that's how JMcB got the role on Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon in Murderbot, they are charming and delightful in the videos I've seen of them together and it brings the joy.
I am 11 crocheted blankets destined to be Buy It Now items for next summer's @romancingthevote.bsky.social auction, because I crochet when I feel helpless or sad or mad. Trans flags, non-binary flags, and just some pretty colors. Wonder how many I'll have by next June!?
Aaaaand off I go to make a NetGalley request!!!!!
I'm sorry, all I see here is a Jorts-adjactent worker completing a safety inspection. 11/10, would request this inspector again.
I just finished it, and as always.... Perfection. Enjoy!!
...does it take any of the shine off for them to know that EVERY library card is a VIP card? Because that's how librarians think of it.
One of my greatest moments as a mother was when my little one asked for "the big princess movie" for like a three weeks solid. Because it is my very favorite movie ever and I needed them to love it too.
