Listening to @crbclassical.bsky.social and I’m pretty sure the opening/motif of Vivaldi’s L’estro armonico is used in a PDQ Bach piece and now I’m trying to remember which one it is…

people still talk about poverty/necessity as a competitive advantage for athletes, meanwhile every pro league is increasingly filled with the wealthy children of the last generation’s millionaire stars (this guy obviously included)

Again, Josh Allen represents moms. We try to do too much, with little to no support. That “sad Josh” we see on the bench and at press conferences post-game? It’s all of us.

FYI, there’s a pretty good sale at Coway Airmega if you’re in the market for air purifiers. We have a few of the Airmega Mighty AP-1512HH systems at home, and I bought an Airmega 100 for my office at work. Eyeing a few more at these prices… cowaymega.com/pages/air-pu...

"Quiet piggy" is an overt attempt to silence women by giving them a derogatory label. And this was said to a reporter doing her job. It wasn't just directed at the reporter, it was directed at all of us to say, "keep quiet or you will be publicly shamed." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/19/h...

I'm so excited and honored to be one of the recipients of this year's MICE Mini-Grants for my new comic, BRAINS, which is a love letter to the brain and a giant middle finger to so-called AI. I will also be doing a reading from it at MICE on Dec. 6th during the Science Comics Carousel from 1-2PM!

Apparently Black Friday sales are starting and I‘m trying to figure out what things to buy now vs later so I don’t end up in a vicious Kohls Cash cycle.

As I see posts saying “Josh Allen shouldn‘t take all the blame for the Bills losses”, I think about the similarities between quarterback and being a mom. Keeping track of all the plays/plans. Knowing where everyone is and where they’re going. Everyone is depending on you. Blaming if things go wrong.

Are you #TeamStripes or #TeamSpoon? Either way, here’s the backstory on how cran ended up in a can in the first place: https://bit.ly/48f9DDc

All I am saying is, what better time to have @dougboneparth.bsky.social and I share our thoughts (in print, online, in studio!) on HOW TO NOT RUIN THE HOLIDAYS BY FIGHTING WITH YOUR SPOUSE ABOUT MONEY??? I’m serious. Use us: domoneytogether[at]gmail[dot]com.

If you need a whistle in Somerville, stop by Gracie’s. If you need A LOT of whistles that’s probably ok too.

Three things to do today: 1. Go through that stack of mail that’s been staring at you for far too long 2. If you have an FSA, make a plan to use the rest soon so you aren’t scrambling at the end of December 3. You can buy sunscreen w/FSA money 😉 Love, Women’s Personal Finance, not WomenSPF

News! MICE @massmice.bsky.social, the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, Returns December 6th-7th with Guests Including Huda Fahmy, Jesse Lonergan, B. Mure, Ben Passmore and More. www.brokenfrontier.com/mice-2025/

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back

Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy. I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.

I went to an amazing event last night at @purplecouch.bsky.social. It was a #ragingwomencollective even, and we got to all share our rage! They also had a local boxing gym come by so people could punch stuff! I met some really amazing women, including moms in my school district! raging-women.com

Me: I’m going to sort through all the old clothes that kids outgrew so we can give them away My body: how about instead you throw your back out?

Yes! This is so important! Machine Learning is doing wonderful things like mapping Martian craters and analyzing microbe genomes. LLMs are a very specific form & it’s them doing these huge amounts of harm. I also sometimes say “Gen AI” when I mean both LLMs and art generators; I try to never say AI

don’t forget about Amtrak 😷

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA." This is what's happening in epidemiology.

Since we announced the closure of our bar, people have been asking to buy one of our pint glasses which state explicitly how a person can get one without paying us for it.

Someone bring in a whole team of hot men who each have a policy change to discuss.

This is a genuine problem/ challenge. Turning off intrusive AI features, from Gmail, also turns off useful anti-spam and related features. (Sort of like Trump using the govt shutdown as excuse to end all SNAP benefits. Google didn't have to do this.)

The irony of confirming my husband can pick up the kids and get them fed and to bed tonight because I’m going to an event about mental load and associated planning…

Also, every time I hear Dvorak’s Serenades for Strings, I sit in wait for those two-note stingers at the end of each movement… @crbclassical.bsky.social

Hearing Mozart’s Rondo alla Turca on @crbclassical.bsky.social and immediately thinking of Bluey’s magic xylophone…

Three things to do today: 1. $10 to your emergency fund 2. Confirm the beneficiaries listed for said emergency fund 3. Make sunscreen or face moisturizer with SPF part of your morning routine Love, Women’s Personal Finance, not WomenSPF

“Maybe today I’ll actually catch up on all my work” she lies to herself.

Debating bringing my heating pad to work so my back doesn’t hurt as much…

Here I made this helpful flowchart for either option I feel watching every Bills game. Last night we were back in the red, folks

Still thinking about that $4 million mansion in a wealthy town in CT fully burning down due to someone trying to deep fry a turkey in the garage: fireandsafetyjournalamericas.com/connecticut-...

I need to go to bed, she thinks to herself, while lying in bed.

They never cook properly! Get soft way too soon and then they just fall apart and you just get wheel bits.

Realizing I’m rapidly running out of weekends before ski season starts 😩

The new Millicent Quinn book is out! For both books, I highly recommend the audioboo! Read by the author!

I assume there’s no way to watch the bills game if we don’t have prime?

Back up to my usual nonsense: leaving mildly snarky questions for upper management on a “Social Q&A” thing at work. Yes I know the submissions are not anonymous. I truly do want them to answer these questions.

@massago.bsky.social and 20 other AGs challenge recent federal restrictions on SNAP benefits for vetted immigrants, arguing these changes could deprive thousands of much-needed food resources. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Hey holiday shoppers! Looking for a #KidLit book for the young rockhound or STEM enthusiast in your life? This may be the book for you! Plus, if you order in advance through @portersqbooks.bsky.social or @silverunicornbooks.bsky.social and ask for it signed, I'll come in to do so before shipping! 😃

Josh Allen is one run into the end zone away from breaking the regular season record for rushing touchdowns by a QB. Breaking down what has made Allen so effective as a runner and his favorite rushing scores: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Been trying out various options for electrolyte mixes since I feel dehydrated so often. Used nuun for awhile (fine, not keen on the stevia), tried Liquid IV (also fine, resulted in drink with similar viscosity to Pedialyte), and now trying hydrant (more kool-aid-like). Any preferences for ORS?

If you’re a cancer survivor, I cannot say enough good things about After Treatment. I’m almost two years out, and it’s exactly the news source & community I needed. www.after-treatment.com/p/can-biohac...

I have to go to work but that requires going to work.

I need to go to work but it’s chilly out and I just want to stay home in a blanket.

All these people using AI to generate everything making every poster for an event look creepy and identical, and they keep forgetting that Clip Art exists. support.microsoft.com/en-us/office...

Son and I clunked heads last night so of course I stayed up super late worried about “Talk and Die” Syndrome. My head still hurts a little but I don’t think I have bleeding in my skull…

This is the mantra of the entirety of the Jewish people.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Just put another digital download up in my itch shop - you can snag the four Frog by Transit mini-comics, each one folds into thirds, too, so you can have four different subway cars for each of the respective MBTA lines. Frog by Day, Frog by Night, Frog by Transit
