Not brave but in my "fuck it" era. Love early bedtimes, Michael Westen, and a good breeze.

and, not for nothing, there is a further acute moral injury in becoming so used to it all, and so used to it not mattering, that you begin to think of terrible crimes with real victims along the lines of "maybe this will be what hurts him politically"

Y'all I couldn't sleep last night so I stayed awake thinking about how I could teach my kid about fractions because he was having a hard time with equivalent fractions. I had the idea of using maps because he loves maps (who doesn't?) and has a paper map of our city I just got him.

I was just laid off for the second time this year. It's going to be a hard fall and winter. My safety net, as is the case for too many of us especially these days, is the kindness and generosity of friends and strangers. Anything helps.

Yes, I can make that work.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.

Does anyone else who grew up around Seattle remember this show? I feel like the only one. But my family still talks about this Ballard skit to this day.
When I was a kid, there was a PNW-specific SNL-type show called Almost Live that poked fun at different cities. (Bill Nye the Science Guy started here too)
