Your bones remodel themselves every day. 🦴⚡

Movement creates tiny stresses that osteoclasts break down and osteoblasts rebuild stronger. Over time, your bones reshape themselves to match your habits.

Your skeleton adapts to the life you live. 🤯

Day two of calling out because my brain doesn’t work right. Yay. And other stuff is sucking too and I have no energy to deal.

Never change, Fallout.

(It’s one of the most glitchy series, as illustrated by my meeting The Ghoul (yes, from the show).)

it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.
Bring back residential-use lead paint, you cowards.

I am very sad and have been for just over month it seems.

Which is to say, damnit, Linda, why did you have to die?

Color me ignorant, but I'm learning how "parental alienation" is, uh, NOT a thing and ... wow.

Richard Gardner was a misogynist piece of shit who said parents should beat their children if they report being abused.

Existing disability services are deeply underfunded, aggressively audited, means-tested constantly, and can be labyrinthine to even access or maintain without assistance. As someone who spent two decades as a cog in that system, concerns about fraud are overblown compared to the real existing need.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

So here’s the thing: I, a certified Disabled™️ Person, do not actually care if anyone fakes for an extra 20 minutes on the test. I care deeply about how the fear of that very thing puts up flaming hoops disabled people have to jump through.

Maybe listen to disabled folk on this one.

As a teacher I also do not care. Getting extra time on a test hurts nobody. Going undiagnosed and without access to necessary educational supports can actually ruin lives.

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.
