I work 5 afternoons/week with a 13 year old boy. He has some of the most unique speech patterns I've ever heard. I've managed to leave a lot of baggage at the door wrt my childhood trauma and have been finding extra energy to withstand sensory hell when it comes up because hey, its part of my job

I gave coparent a task: go through childrens clothing of assorted sizes, sorting them as too large and too small for 9 yo. He said "Six/seven? This is WAY too small!" Unfortunately for him, 9 yo and I were ready with the voice and the hand motions. "Six-seven! Six-seven!" I also taunted my poor,

New job at a school. In the staff room on day 2. One teacher asks another what the craziest thing he's done was. The story is about using cannabis at a touristy spot and having a confrontation with a cop on a bike. This teller asks the asker what the craziest thing she's done was.

Now that Canada‘s PM is thinking out loud about a social media ban for kids, it’s raising all kinds of inner turmoil. I’ve read essays and skimmed articles reflecting Haidt’s views that SM is wrecking kids’ health, and articles suggesting that the relationship was not a direct correlation.

Bestie took me to brunch at our friends' place. Children were children. Bestie took us to grocery store and I left him with the sleeping child. When LB and I returned, bestie and youngest child were crashed out, HARD, in almost the same pose. Both were slack-jawed

Remember this?

I can’t get over how increasingly desperate and worried district judges are — they are doing all the right things — and how they’re being betrayed by appellate judges and a Supreme Court, both too cowardly to stand behind their decisions.

"microtransactions in games started by cabal of pedophile elites for the purpose of indoctrinating kids into an economy" Ok. Well, we all knew it was evil somehow but I really didn't expect Epstein to be responsible for why video games are bad now. That's just not what I would've thought.

Me 20 years ago wanting to treat myself on payday: imported beer. A satchel of backwoods honey berry cigars. Me now treating myself on payday: a great big fillet of rainbow trout. Not usually religious, but unending thanks to relevant deities that I got this far.

I hate this so much. www.nbcdfw.com/news/nationa...

Students are taking new measures, such as dumbing down their work, spying on themselves and using AI “humanizer” programs, to beat accusations of cheating with artificial intelligence.

Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post. A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.

the children are protesting from inside the camps. i hope they know that we hear them.

I cracked and read a transcript of a Davos speech. It seems like a prank. Attacking windmills is a literary trope signifying delusion. So very on the nose.

Federal agents pinned a man to the ground in south Minneapolis and sprayed him with chemical irritants directly in the face. Minnesota Star Tribune photographer Rich Tsong-Taatarii did not witness the man put his hands on agents.

There are no fucking words

If I was starting to feel sorry for myself because my job is destroying my body and my mind, this week has certainly put a new spin on that. Yesterday a sweet, self-conscious woman didn't want to volunteer where she was from (I wasn't asking, we were making small talk) until about 45 mins in.

I love a good cabbage and this is bleak.

Please don’t leave me alone to face all of this by myself💔 I feel completely broken as I struggle with the freezing cold My body is shaking & my limbs are frozen🥶 I have no shelter after losing everything😭 I need your support more than ever🙏🏻 PLs Share 🔗 tinyurl.com/Ohnkd ✅ @mommunism.bsky.social

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left. See? We just need to talk to each other.

Hearies with misophonia: how do you watch tv? I was doing great with so many of my fave shows, even rewatching some with aids that I already consumed without, back in the day. Started Heated Rivalry and it is GORGEOUS, compelling, very good EXCEPT I can hear an over loud lip smacking from

I am a child of the universe Being born each moment I will be gentle with myself I will love myself.

Semi-annual reminder to take a week off psilocybin periodically. Or do this regime: increase shrooms by 0.01 mg every day for a year and then take a month off to do investment banking, make the money you need for future shrooms. May or may not have a fever. Sorry.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Non-sequitur: dDeaf kids raised with ASL develop the visual part of their brain beyond the abilities of kids raised without sign language. E.g. mentally rotating a 2d shape. CODAs and Deaf kids exposed to ASL from birth will be able to do this more quickly than non-signers and late signers.

From Sally's GFM: "Hello, I am Sally from Gaza. I am married and I lost my husband and my little girl. All that remains is my son Anas. Life has become difficult for us, and we are all suffering from malnutrition. I no longer have anyone to help" 1/3

Kids' dad is hearing. I am HoH, so is M (3.5 yo). Me: [WHISPERING TO M] Dad: They can't hear you when you whisper M: [WHISPERING] Me: I also can't hear whispering, what'd they say? When questioned, turned out hearing adult had no idea, and it's possible M just makes sounds in whispertone.

Honestly, sometimes AI sounds more like a regular person than I do. Me, as an RMT leaving the client in the room to dress after massage: Please open this door when you feel ready to interact again.

My fave bumper sticker said "I'm not gay but $20 is $20" and I've not seen a better cutesy slogan for the potus.

The cold is very harsh, and my children desperately need warm winter clothes.💔 I'm truly afraid they might get sick, and I can't bear to see any of them suffer.🥹 Please…your support can help keep them warm and safe. 🫂

I kept hearing these outraged snippets about Megyn Kelly defending pedophilia by redefining it, and you know Snopes is still around so I checked. They verified that while she never outright said JE was not a pedophilia, "Minutes after citing someone close to the Epstein case as saying Epstein

Being a good DJ isnt just bringing your playlists to events and pressing play. Its reading the crowd. And honestly, what crowd isnt hungry for more Kate Bush and Nick Cave?

It's 8 pm and M cannot fall asleep. Turned away from me they say, in a sad voice, "i crashed your head and you said OW and yelled at me." I apologize for hurting their feelings. They ask if my head got hurt inside or outside. I say my bone, right here, and point to it on my face and their face.

🤣This guy does these impressions so good! Trump swears so many Black folks love him. Just one of many lies from that fucking bigot.
