Look, it's super cool they sang live in Wicked (2024) and it sounded fine in the theaters and on my home screen, but I can *hear* the room/set changes on my noise-canceling headphones.

Help, I'm still at the restaurant.

Millions of American parents learning how to bubble braid today. #halloween #KPDH

Up so early that Bluesky is still British

I will never forgive any dyslexia "advocate" who tried to pretend it wasn't about politics. It's always been about politics.

I didn't know blasphemy could make me this angry.

I swear to god this is like one of those soft rock radio station commercials: *Amy Grant plays in the background* "Playing the hits from your childhood to justify our murderous regime with less talk and fewer commercial breaks!"

There are two wolves inside of you. #booksky #Romancelandia

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart

One of the bullets had Italian brainrot engraved on it? Am I understanding this correctly?

Every year, a distraught mother comes to TikTok because she's just learned her (insert number) grader isn't reading, and every year this discourse on that app is how that mother is a lazy, uneducated moron. And every year, I'm glad I didn't have TikTok when that happened to me.

The world is terrible, but Maine exists.

I promise I didn't mean to do this, but the spirits of Merryweather and Flora must have possessed me while I was picking out the fabric for this project. #quilting #quiltingsky #sewingsky #handmade

I don't think I'll ever get over how Google killed its legacy in the name of AI. Just destroyed itself and for what? The Google search "Kirkland Everything Bagel Seasoning Gluten Free" vs the actual label. Notice how there's *no malodextrin* in it. You have to scroll quite a bit for the real answer.

Everything's terrible but my curtain of tillandsia is so beautiful and healthy 🥰

The world is terrible, but wild blueberries exist.

Thinking of all the SOR rightwingers who 1. Managed to make science unpalatable to a lot of would-be allies and 2. Helped usher in the destruction of the Department of Education. Congrats, IDEA will be gone soon. You got what you wanted.

*marks a book as ‘finished’ on my goodreads* ooh an email! (it’s from goodreads saying i finished a book)

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I'm not telling any of you my tiktok handle, but I have just ascended into a higher plane.

Reading a Romance book that doesn't have HEA?

Somebody call up Elizabeth Warren to kill this ghoul again, please.

I hope whoever made this enjoyed the Tonys last night.

Oh my GOD, this prompt kept coming on on the screen during my child's IEP meeting yesterday, and I couldn't figure out what it was. This is so stupid I can't even.

This is a double whammy because all evidence I can find is that the AI is basically right and the local orchard website is wrong. Also, type in something else, and you'll get a totally different answer from the AI. So fun times we're living in.

You wanna know why I don't talk about phonics anymore? Because in many people's zeal to get structured literacy in classrooms (good, just, woke if you will), we allowed a whole lot of truly disgusting people and ideas in along the way.

Idk how to explain it, but these are the three correct Disney Princesses.

Oh so it's cool to accept gifts as a reporter? Idk, I think the president should be held to a higher standard than NYT staff writers.

My resident phoebes have built themselves a new nest, and my resident cowbird is confused. #birdsky #birder #ornithology

Me piecing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me quilting: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck. #quiltsky #handmade #sewingsky

Tonight, I'm educating the children. #filmsky #hecomesfromgelderland

I have no one to share this with, but I made an outfit to turn my daughter's teddy into Corduroy for her birthday. Now I have to wait a month to give it to her. #sewingsky #homemade

Small town life does have benefits.

What a fun pop up for my IRA account. I'm sure everything is super fine and good.

I desperately need a time machine so I can go back and show Bobby the hand-flex scene.

My kid just told me they're "teaching" him how to use Canva AI at school, and I think I'm gonna start the Butlerian Jihad.

I have 2 factor authentification turned on my ancient AOL account, which, as we all know, makes my emails from 2004 more secure than the US government right now.

Of course people who claim to be ACAB and anti-censorship are celebrating an author being arrested because her fictional book was classified as “child abuse material” under Australian law. Have any of you thought about how much of the things you write and read could be classified as such?

Reupping this today for no particular reason.

Saw my first Tesla with a 🚫Elon sticker. It's a good start, but we can do better.

That face when Lucy Calkins' name is dropped disparagingly in a local school board meeting.

You cannot be a dyslexia advocate and a MAGA supporter. If you feel you are those two things simultaneously, fix your heart right now. They are coming for Special Ed.

Just saw my first Trump 2028 sign. Seems bad.

Canceling flu shots is signing death warrants. Let's be real clear about that.

Anyone thinking an executive order will make us stop calling something the same name it's had for 400+ years needs to show me Cape Kennedy on a map.

"Musk will reinvent the US government in the way that the hyperloop reinvented trains, that the Boring company reinvented subways, that Juicero reinvented squeezing. Which is to say he will reinvent nothing at all, fix no problems, offer no solutions..."

This may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we COULD ask Mothra for help
