Looked up something about lace history on Google just now that I was pretty sure I knew the answer to. It served up an AI answer that was the opposite of what I expected. I checked all four sources for its claim--only one even mentioned the lace I was asking about, and two were AI generated blogs.

There is no way to become a trillionaire except through allowing others to die.

Finally talked the 15yo into watching Kill Bill part 1 with us. It's such a comfort movie for me. 🤣

My trans daughter who just started training last month has better form than this.

Dune memes.

Asked for comment, Nike said, "the overall aesthetic is not where it needs to be." 🙄

Is something wrong with the Internet?

[And then, the take that broke me]

Found out I can renew my license online instead of having to drive 3 hours round-trip for a DMV appointment and it's like a late birthday present! ❤️

My OCD and ADHD are conspiring together to k*ll me.

When you tell the truth in therapy

My iPhone automatically added my cat’s vet appointment to my calendar and I removed it ‘cause it’s her business, not the government’s.

@obienator.bsky.social I haven't been on Bsky much lately, I can't believe I missed your birthday, birthday buddy! Happy belated! ❤️

Happy Pride! Took my kiddo after school to get them some more gender-affirming shoes, and their first Bath and Body Works body spray. I told them it made my 90s-girlie heart happy. (They picked Champagne Toast.)

Ed Markey tears into Seth Moulton: "Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who scapegoats trans kids." The crowd goes fucking wild.

Repost with your first crush.

On a whim I just bought pre-sale tickets to see Tom Jones with my mom and we're going to make 60s dresses and wear them to the concert.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

She's so beautiful.

I've just had it with my fucking brain. Any time I try to put attention into something I want professionally, I start failing at my being a parent and a housewife. I can't unload anything onto my spouse because he's been working weekends and 16 hour days. Unlike me, he actually fucking makes money.

Well, I've fucked my sleep schedule. 🙃

Adrift.

Fucking hell, my ADHD is making life really hard right now.

You know the rules. You see it, you post it.

Is it pride yet? 😩

What’s so brazen is that the subhead literally spells out the travesty. It says that tech industry lobbyists have convinced congress to pay for their products to be made a compulsory part of public education so that when the industry wreaks havoc on American workers it can be blamed on educators.

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

I did a thing! I'd been sewing since October to get enough clothes to attend the Jane Austen Festival at the Heritage Village outside Cincinnati last weekend. I had a lot of fun, and can't wait to take a break from sewing to make some lace!

always remember that u are someone’s greatest fumble

Canada looking really good up there...

if only Louis XVI had had a ballroom he might be alive today

Other than Jo's annoying Ken-doll hair, I am enjoying this version of Forsytes much more than the 2002 version, with all love to Damian Lewis. I feel like the writing/characterization is just tighter.

Disappointed I didn't get everything made that I planned for my Jane Austen weekend, but the people there won't know what I didn't finish, they'll only see what I did.

My 15yo is far better than me at aiming in video games, but somehow still can't manage to hit the sink or toilet. 🤔

So, J.D., you agree that your religious beliefs should stay out of US politics?

Just sitting here hand-sewing an 18th-century dress while watching Artemis splashdown.

A thread of cats very interested in the Artemis capsule.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

Me: Imagine being stuck in space and you have to listen to this asshole. 15yo: I'd throw myself out the airlock.

Test.

Christina's hair is on point today.

"we need kids to get an early start operating machines that are routinely wrong and may try to coax them into suicide and/or psychosis" is a fun education perspective i disagree with actually

girl take us with you

It really cannot be overstated that COVID happened, suddenly a bunch of absentee tech dads were forced to stay home where they saw their kids playing Animal Crossing while talking on Discord, then collectively decided to light a trillion dollars on fire to make Snow Crash IRL.

It's like America's parents caught us smoking authoritarian, racist, evil incompetence, and now they're making us smoke the whole pack to teach us a lesson.

This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days
