Here are a few of the felted pals you can meet soon! Also, I realized I could just use the mini-comic for scale and then, added bonus: by encouraging people to fold up a letter sized piece of paper into eighths to see the scale themselves, maybe I can get them to make a zine out of it.

I’m always trying to get people to make zines

The NPS will launch 850,000 fireworks in the middle of the night. (Last year, they launched 7,000) That will dump perchlorates and heavy metals into the Potomac River and cause the amount of soot and smoke particles to skyrocket (pardon), at great danger to any creature that breathes.

I would stay as far away as possible. With an 11pm start, your kids will be sleepy, anyway. And if you're out in DC Saturday night, *please* wear an N95 or P100 mask (respirator). Details/remarks: 🔹️850,000 fireworks will be detonated in 40 minutes. 🧵 1/6 www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

I guess an extreme heat warning and an air quality alert means we’re keeping the kids home from summer camp today (and probably tomorrow).

Your annual reminder: Residency begins on July 1st. That means when you blow your fingers off with your July 4th fireworks, the first doctor taking care of you has been a doctor for exactly four days. Plan accordingly.

Reschedule strenuous outdoor tasks for the early morning, drink water before you actually feel thirsty and check in on neighbors or pets who might not have access to reliable cooling.

The classic song “There’s a Hole in My Bucket” is a prime example of weaponized incompetence and mental load. In this essay I will… youtu.be/MAfCQ-t7xY0?...

Happy HYSA interest compounded monthly day to all who celebrate! 🤑

So if birthright citizenship wasn’t a thing, how WOULD your citizenship be determined? By parents I guess? But then my parents would have had to get citizenship from their parents, and so on back into my family tree to determine if whoever came over from the old country did it “the right way”?

A fictionalization of some of this shows up in the TV show Dickinson.

as expected. and still morally wrong and against the intended spirit of Title IX - which was always intended to provide more opportunities, not exclude people.

Okay so, they don’t want trans girls on girls sports teams. And then trans boys will be told to play on girls teams, but then people will be mad about that, too. You just banned all trans people from playing sports. A thing that everyone should be able to do if they want to.

Love to my trans friends now and always. We have to be with you and help you fight.

Dealing with so much nonsense. Transferred more to savings.

Today’s Exhibit of the Day? It’s one of the largest amethyst geodes in the world! It's about 13 ft (4 m) tall and 9,000 lbs (4,082 kg). It was "born" when molten magma poured from the Earth’s crust some 135 million years ago. Photo: D. Finnin/© AMNH

We ended up going out to eat and brought the kids along. At the end of the dinner, someone at the next table over remarked to us how well behaved our kids were! 🥰

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously

I am looking for women of color, particularly BIPOC, to interview about early Alzheimer’s diagnosis — That is, diagnosis before symptoms progressed significantly and how it has changed how you live your life. 1/3

When are they going to install those tire poking things they have at car rental places that force you to only go one way to the off-ramps of highways so we can slow down these wrong way drivers that keep causing deadly crashes?

Camp counselors asked my kids their favorite songs so they could have a playlist for the bus. Both my kids suggested @barenakedladies.com songs. One counselor admitted to having If I Had A $1,000,000 in her head all weekend. Proud mom moment 😉

If there was actually significant research done on issues surrounding menstruation, perimenopause, menopause, etc. we wouldn’t have to rely on DIY solutions via word of mouth…

Happy anniversary to us! graduatedlearning.wordpress.com/2014/07/24/w...

Keeping my eyes on the weather forecast on whether it’s safe for the kids to go to summer camp this week.

*taps microphone* Is this thing on?? I AM LOOKING FOR SCIENCE HISTORIANS. IF THAT IS YOU PLEASE WAVE AT ME OR YELL LOUDLY IN MY DIRECTION! (It's for a wee little side project)

Do You Administer SNAP or Medicaid Benefits? Help ProPublica Report on America’s Safety Net. We want to hear from the officials and workers who help people navigate SNAP and Medicaid, because no one knows these programs better.

My Facebook feed is full of AI generated posters for local events and I‘m tempted to ask “how did you design posters before this?” Because they were able to make things before all this nonsense…

Successfully getting a few things out of the house with the local buy nothing group!

Would like to follow more progressive moms in politics. Give a holler if you can.

Human bodies have a natural cooling system, but it can do only so much in high temperatures and humidity. Here's the science behind how heat kills. And how to protect yourself.

Sometimes I feel like a monster for resting in another room while the kids read in the family room because how dare I not be in the same room all the time as my 8 and 10 year old?

It's the best time of year — longer days, better produce — to resist the siren call of pie season and make a galette instead. Everything about them is easier; you could be eating this in less than two hours. smittenkitchen.com/2020/05/any-...

This book makes a great gift for someone in your life who won’t shut up about using AI garbage. Next time they get going, just say “Sure, but have you heard about BRAINS?” then hand them this comic and walk away.

I think instead of dunking on that slate piece people should read any one of the dozen things I've written about trans visibility. Like this one from 7 years ago: www.vox.com/identities/2...

Do I know anybody who makes custom stamps? I want to make a Frogby one for my stamping on envelopes and things with my shop purchases and I’d love to pay somebody I know especially when the alternative is probably getting scammed by someone on Etsy.
