And if you're not sure when your last TDaP was, get one, especially if you're going to be around a baby. 10 years is max, not a minimum!

We buy prepared turkey from a restaurant and use our energy on sides & desserts.

Definitely the face of a dog who was not digging in the grass 😂

I went to grad school straight out of undergrad because I didn't feel ready for the "real world". Did my PhD in pandemic influenza but knew by the end lab research wasn't for me. Graduated at the end of 2009 (swine flu pandemic) and got a job with a government contractor (1/2)

Please send me your good vibes - I had what seemed like a really good interview today for a role that could have been written specifically for me. It's a tiny company, so there's a chance salary and benefits don't line up, but if they do, this would be a step towards exec team for me!

@tonichelle.bsky.social You left your weather at Disney! Please return to claim it 😂

I was ready for cooler weather, but it was 80°F on Sunday and I would have liked some of the nice in between temps first!

Survived week 1 post-layoff. Managed to keep myself in a pretty good routine. Applied to a handful of positions and had phone calls with 2 contacts at a competitor of my previous company that currently has the contract I ran for 3 years. All I can do is keep plugging away!

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Please, if you follow through, go further south and leave Jacksonville alone!

This trip y'all. I was supposed to arrive in Jacksonville at 2:30pm. We landed at 3am. My bags are still in Atlanta. I still have a 45 minute ride home. Tomorrow is my last day at the job I've had for 15 years and I'm going to be am exhausted mess.

10 hours late, 7 hours after I was supposed to be home, I'm finally in the air to Atlanta and hoping there's still a flight to Jacksonville to catch once I get there.

Well, after 3 hours, they de-planed us then canceled the flight. Cross your fingers my 7:30pm flight with a connection through Atlanta actually happens. There are 2 little girls who expect their CC home for Halloween.

My month in NYC is officially up today, but apparently the city doesn't want to let me go - boarded the plane on time only to be told we're 42nd in line for takeoff.

the rules: if they’re around your age and not your sibling, they’re your cousin if they’re around your parents’ age and not your parents, they’re your aunt or uncle easy, simple, nobody gets confused

Laid off it is, after 15 years. I'll be ok, but damn that hurts.

So either I'm getting laid off in 25 minutes or I have the world's most oblivious VP (throwing a last minute no context meeting on my calendar less than an hour after the CEO announced another round of cuts). Cross your fingers for the latter!

I am confused by Georgia being basically on the line when it feels like we only play the 4th quarter of games.

Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.

24 including the 3 I've lived in.

Worked on my machine

I've never seen an episode of SNL, just some of the random skits that show up on social media.

I personally think that basic human decency shouldn’t be dependent on immigration status.

I am on my first night of a month of living in and working from Manhattan. Such a nice change of pace from north Florida.

Went to Ragtime instead of watching the Georgia/Alabama game and I have no regrets.

this is all already political violence. The genocide against trans people is political violence. ICE raids are political violence. Dobbs is political violence. This episode was just more visible and overtly violent because it was taped.

No one is ever called out for politicizing a tragedy when it’s violence against the political right. When it happens, people from every corner of society – people who’ve been silent during countless atrocities – suddenly wake up, demand action, and denounce violence in all its forms.

Possibly the only horoscope that's ever resonated with me

Post a screenshot that makes you laugh every time you look at it

Peter Thiel and Elon Musk were both in a car wreck together, narrowly escaping death. A literal "WATCH THIS" that totaled a McLaren. It was in 2000, right as they were taking off. I think about it daily.

It feels like 111°F and Layla is living her best life as a burnt potato.

I went away to college at 16. If I had not been given some pretty significant freedom in the years leading up to that, it would have been a disaster.

No one ever suggested autism until I moved back in with my parents at 39. Once it was suggested it was SO OBVIOUS to me.

From 2021 through July of this year, Jacksonville deputies wrote tickets for “no headlamps” in rain, fog or smoke at least 78 times, according to records from the Duval Clerk of Courts, with the vast majority – about 63% – going to Black drivers. jaxtrib.org/2025/07/28/b...

I wouldn't want to spend more than about 15 minutes outside right now, but the lower humidity at least means walking out the door doesn't feel like stepping into a sauna.

This thread is a gold mine! I've got some of the stuff on here already and I'm taking notes on the rest. My purchase was the Souper Cube, and we can all thank @mostlybree.kitrocha.com's entire timeline of freezer/meal prep posts for that. 😁

Today marks 6 years since my divorce was finalized and I love the life I've made for myself!

Yeah

And sometimes that rain only falls in your front yard or back yard, but not both.

I am tired & scared & increasingly furious & have so much despair. I just don't understand wanting to be like and support this. I've never understood it. Like i get *what* they value, but cannot figure out why they value it. Above compassion? Above care? Above mutual support? I don't fucking get it.

Had to get Florida going!

Well apparently I needed to see this today because now I'm crying
