Semi-annual reminder to take a week off psilocybin periodically. Or do this regime: increase shrooms by 0.01 mg every day for a year and then take a month off to do investment banking, make the money you need for future shrooms.

May or may not have a fever. Sorry.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

Non-sequitur: dDeaf kids raised with ASL develop the visual part of their brain beyond the abilities of kids raised without sign language. E.g. mentally rotating a 2d shape. CODAs and Deaf kids exposed to ASL from birth will be able to do this more quickly than non-signers and late signers.

Do you do deep tissue?
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Kids' dad is hearing. I am HoH, so is M (3.5 yo).
Me: [WHISPERING TO M]
Dad: They can't hear you when you whisper
M: [WHISPERING]
Me: I also can't hear whispering, what'd they say?
When questioned, turned out hearing adult had no idea, and it's possible M just makes sounds in whispertone.

Honestly, sometimes AI sounds more like a regular person than I do. Me, as an RMT leaving the client in the room to dress after massage:

My fave bumper sticker said "I'm not gay but $20 is $20" and I've not seen a better cutesy slogan for the potus.

The cold is very harsh, and my children desperately need warm winter clothes.💔
I'm truly afraid they might get sick, and I can't bear to see any of them suffer.🥹

Please…your support can help keep them warm and safe. 🫂

I kept hearing these outraged snippets about Megyn Kelly defending pedophilia by redefining it, and you know Snopes is still around so I checked. They verified that while she never outright said JE was not a pedophilia, "Minutes after citing someone close to the Epstein case as saying Epstein

Being a good DJ isnt just bringing your playlists to events and pressing play. Its reading the crowd. And honestly, what crowd isnt hungry for more Kate Bush and Nick Cave?

It's 8 pm and M cannot fall asleep. Turned away from me they say, in a sad voice, "i crashed your head and you said OW and yelled at me."

I apologize for hurting their feelings. They ask if my head got hurt inside or outside. I say my bone, right here, and point to it on my face and their face.

The carnival was the most egregious instance of bad fit. I don't belong in that environment and I think the patrons could tell. One man offered me a dime bag to rig the game. A youth asked if I wanted to see them juggle, and I offered them $1 out of my pocket if they could.

Another tense time was when I worked at a local artisans and producers co op. We sold hand made pottery, soaps, and some fresh vegetables. Now 28, i participated in an ayahuasca ceremony the night before my first opening shift.

I arrived two mins before we were to open and it all came together.

I don't think I've had the worst jobs but there have been some very weird instances. Lots of tension between me and my boss. Sometimes partly my fault or mostly my fault, and sometimes they were incoherent in describing what they expected.

Who's got a recipe for a cabbage dessert? Bonus points for one bowl, but I can certainly get them all out for a special occasion.
