Now watching British Love it or List it, and they're hilarious about their bedrooms. "They're generous, aren't they? We can split this in two" Girl those are two twin beds with a plane aisle between them. You'd call a coffin spacious

I swear there was a show with those cute Canadian brothers from HGTV where one brother would fix up the house, and the other brother would look for other houses, and the gimmick was the family had to decide whether to sell or keep the refurbished house What show am I having a Shazaam! moment of?

There is no conclusive evidence that taking Acetaminophen during pregnancy harms children, but there is very strong evidence that getting COVID does.

Props (do we still give props?) to the colleague who, as we greeted the returning alum, used his name repeatedly so I had a chance of figuring out who this dear person was #faceblind

I cannot wait for my spindle and roving to arrive The sheer sensory pleasure of spinning a well-balanced thing and the sweet smell of the merino and the satisfaction of making something useful I cannot WAIT I CANNOT WAIT (I have to wait)

For the record, the local police had to arrive to free the girl from … the federal police. This is horrific. It’s undeniable that we will need trials for ICE officials and officers after all this. “Leominster police arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to the family.”

The specific terror of missing the Rapture never quite leaves you, even after you stop believing that the Bible teaches a Rapture. I still have a moment of panic if things around me seem a little too quiet.

What with the acetaminacetamol nonsense happening, it's a great time to follow @dailycorrelation.bsky.social and teach it to your students

It is impossible to control 340 million people, who have been fed on stories of revolution & free speech, & are spread across 1000s of miles. Someone erected this celebration of MAGA's POTUS across the street from the Capitol.

I saw an old Black woman on the usher board setting up signs for Bible study. No rapture imminent. If she's still here everybody else is too.

As a disabled pregnant woman currently taking paracetamol (tylenol) for back & pelvic pain... I don't yet have a response for the ableist, eugenicist, evidently pro-life movatived "announcement" from the US President. But I will say this. If you don't want a disabled child, don't have children.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health what until you see what guns do.

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

Please stop using OpenTorment!!! It's only open-core! TormentLibre is the fully FOSS alternative!

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Lately, whenever my brain has nothing particular to do, I notice that I have the Wii background music stuck in my head Like my own personal hold music while waiting for the next thought to come online www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Nz...

Okay but Serious Post for autistic and otherwise neurodiverse people in my orbit for whom today has been hard: I'm grateful you exist. Your life is a good thing.

Having a sudden yearning to replay Spyro the Dragon. That was a Good Game.

looooooooool

I was promised He would be coming as a thief in the night, so wear your cutest but most modest pajamas.

*laughs in the entire monastic tradition*

The thing I miss second-most about the US is used book stores. It's easier to take a chance on a book when it doesn't cost a tenth of your paycheck.

Before I was a classroom teacher, I was a proctor at a Big Corporate Testing Center. A new generation of students is just now learning this about me. "Why can't I have my giant eraser/totally unrelated I swear notebook/earbuds in during the quiz?" Listen, child, just be glad I'm not wanding you.

I don't know why you all are confused. I got all my vaccines from a giant cauldron of 80 vaccines all in a big stew, pumped in with a syringe the size of a turkey baster

Speaking of pregnant women and medical care:

The best thing in the world is getting to take people into a library for the first time. The whole concept of this is all for you, it's all free, for people who've never had access before... it's incredible.

I also want to keep repeating that ibuprofen/Advil is not indicated after the 20th week of pregnancy and generally discouraged during pregnancy, and that IS supported by science. I’m so scared people will hear this crap about acetaminophen/Tylenol and then do something actually dangerous instead 😭

Good first step. Good work, y'all.

In Christian ed it counts as professional development 🙃

Please boost! #linguistics student here at Swarthmore is running a survey for English speakers (who don't know Mandarin / any other tone languages) about how we learn tones. Take a few minutes to help out with this student research! swarthmore.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I used to wonder how people were so ready to accept the Christianity of human traffickers as an expression of righteousness & Good News. Then I saw people fawning over “the gospel” being presented at a WWE produced White Citizens Council rally, and it made more sense.

They were never going to follow Serena Joy. It's an impossible contradiction for them.

Just encountered a fake captcha on a site so uh, watch out, if you "fail" a captcha and it tells you to press windows plus r and then ctrl plus v that's some shady shit that's gonna run something on your computer so don't do that. Be aware that's a thing that exists to try and trick you.

Anathema.

I did 12 years of Catholic school and this past week has shown me many Evangelical Christians in the US hold confusing and contradictory ideas of what gets people into heaven

In happier news, I went ahead and ordered the spindle and some pretty teal roving. Going to try a Turkish spindle, hoping it's light enough for fingering weight. Maybe this time next year I'll have a lace shawl

More than a little tough to square that with the earlier speakers

What is the sam hill is THIS abomination?!?

In "landmark study", it is discovered that language models were modeling *language* all along?

IT WAS COOL SO IT SHOULD HAVE COUNTED

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

TWO THIRDS of the people who were detained in Alligator Alcatraz have disappeared without record. Their families & lawyers have no way of finding out where they are. They're just gone. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

By design 🤷🏻

Individuals regularly walk down my street carrying Bluetooth speakers to listen to their music as they go to work or whatever.

Remember when VR was going to revolutionize education?

ESPECIALLY anything involving money. My bank wants me to use an app??? On the small screen??? Gotta be a scam

Welp *slaps knees* that there was some good Big Ten football.

Look at academia giving me a little hope

The targeting rule is Not Working 😤
