Gen X is at +5 support for ICE while millennials are at -25. Is this at all related to the United States banning lead paint in houses in 1978?

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

I'm not sure how many more times we need to see/hear about violent men calling women "bitch" as they assault & even murder them before we accept that misogynistic slurs aren't neutral.

Welp. Then she and I were something like 15th cousins.

Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS The local newspaper even snarkily wrote about them and I am CRYING

So this is a very very first world problem... But I really wish Lyft and Uber offered an option for rides in cars WITHOUT air freshener. That shit makes me feel like my sinuses are getting raked. Brought to you today by this, my mysteriously flotal-scented ride to work.

Touching grass, winter edition.

I truly regret having eyes and using them to look at the news today. I'm going to go walk around a greenhouse until I feel less likely to puke.

There is someone watching Parks and Rec on this bus. I know what they are watching because they are not using earbuds or headphones or any of the multitude of personal speaker devices we have these days. I am thisclose to helping him to transition from FA to FO.

Me as one of five people in our 60 person office today.

I am spending my day at a LOTR extended edition watch party with a full hobbit menu. I made a reference to heads being pasted on. Neither of the Gen Zers here got it. *I'm the cryptkeeper.gif*

Pour one out for the Metrocard, RIP

I said even rent controlled units in NYC were expensive.

Rode one stop on the subway with Anne Hathaway. We were the only two in the car. We did not speak. We both got out at the next stop and walked to different stairs.

I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord ⚓️

Santa Claus has acquired permission to fly in Ottawa airspace tonight.

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year: A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

Love a half day. *skedaddles*

This also goes for every Costco on Earth, please and thank you.

When we watched Rick Steve's videos in high school (My history teacher used them to give us a sense of places the history happened in) we mocked him mercilessly, because that earnestness is an easy target for teenagers. He is now my role model for living out one's convictions. Bless him.

Over my dead body will our family's farm ever be a data center.

Started a new job last week. Came in today to find beautiful flower from a coworker, which are now next to my little Mickey Christmas popcorn holder. Feeling very festive. 🥰

An important message for Advent, Christmas, and always ⚓️

Well, this brightened my mood after waiting 30 minutes in -10 temps for the 85. #ottawathings

I can’t believe that in this day and age, people are still wearing fir.

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

I would absolutely watch this.

Do it, Trump. Reopen Action Park.

A good Advent lesson comes from the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth. The lesson, of course, is that men should shut up more so that women can tell us what God is like.

The artes and humanityes are the soul of innovacioun

I also didn't know this!

I named my fists Patience and Fortitude because I'm a reader, not a fighter.

On the first leg of my journey home. Hoping my suitcase isn't over the weight limit because ever inch of this sucker is stuffed with gifts and shopping.

You just died. This sixth picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

He is risen

Heading home for Thanksgiving. YOW preclearance is a ghost town. I literally strolled thru security. Took 15 minutes from door to gate. I'm not mad.

Happy St Katherine's Day to all scholars, librarians, and Katherines. May you win an argument against an annoying man today, in the true spirit of Katherine herself.

Share a TV series you’ve watched from beginning to end more than once.

god forbid we don our gay apparel

Ah, the frantic rush to finish winterizing the yard at 4 pm when the freezing rain is due to start at 5... only it's already drizzling.

So the clouds parted for just long enough for me to watch the aurora from my front yard last night. Brightest, reddest I have seen yet!

[Exit Clown.]

Lotta expensive housing opening up tonight in NYC apparently

I am home from the bar. The guy leaving in front of me was muttering a steady string of "Fucking shit. Fuck sports. Fuck." That's right, bud. But the onion rings were delicious so I have that going for me.
