What’s shitty about the discourse about this post both on Threads and here is that there are genuine concerns about colonialism with respect to the moon, including for example: www.cnn.com/2024/01/05/w...

I’m sorry to hear the first two things. Good night from the cat on my lap, watching something I can’t see.

I’m in a really tough time personally and I want to thank Hookland for the little nightly transport to somewhere more enchanted.

Haha, good one

This is genuinely funny. HIMOTHY.

I’ve had to fiddle with mine as my kid and I learn together. It used to be way too strong; now I often lose, but when she does pop off, it’s always in a new, extremely fun way. I don’t think there’s a card in there that’s more than $4 and most are under $1.

I’m building Zedruu next. Xira was my first deck, and my Jinnie Fay deck is my most fun.

My kid used to think it was called gender ale. I taught them about gender before teaching them about ginger!

I hope so fervently. It makes me queasy and I resent it so much. I hate how it has added more to my plate as a parent. I hate how it’s being forced on us.

Your brand of positivity is exactly the only kind I can stand these days.

GOOD

Thank you!

He said he did a lot of blocking. So you’re not seeing it now.

What Discworld book DO I start with?? (Already there on Task Master.)

Good night, Hooklamd, from The Hague.

My kid just picked them back up again after taking a break from them for a while and is completely enraptured again.

A collage of six covers from the MANY-volume Warriors (aka Warrior Cats) series of middle-grade novels by Erin Hunter. They all picture valorized images of tough cats.

Please join me for a mandatory lecture on the Warrior Ethos. (Seriously, though, my kid made me weep this morning by recounting a storyline from these books.)

They clearly do. They are doing it. They have done it. We are very far along in their doing of it. The people who actually could stop them are in favor of what they’re doing.

Iftah, I agree: people are going to be going “they can’t actually do that” all the way to the grave.

It seems like with the speed with which large language models have permeated so many areas, the literacy rate might decline, though, unfortunately.

ANYway, I’m 48 and feeling as you do.

I read the article the other day and when I got to that paragraph I was so aghast. I told my 10-year-old I would haunt them if they use a chatbot to write my freaking obituary. But in the case of this dad, it was just the absolute saddest, bleakest, most terrible thing ever.

Goodnight, Hookland, from me in Den Haag.

There’s clearly a deeper wisdom at work here.

Once I was crying outside an emergency room and a stranger handed me a rose and said, “It will get better.” Then I walked back inside with the rose, and the first nurse who saw me said, “Who are you supposed to be, the Bachelorette?”

It says $90 now!

Awww, why?

I used to really love reading my mom’s Redbook. She also got Women’s Day and Family Circle but Redbook was my favorite—it was a little more sophisticated. I was a Ranger Rick fan too. Magazines were the best.

This is a good and relatable analogy. Happened to me too—I miss being able to find my way around naturally.

I donated because of your posts, just so you know that you make a difference
