I had a relative compelled into service to the enemy. He mistranslated all the manuals for captured equipment so that The Thing Don't Work.
Mistranslate the manuals, whatever that means for you.

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:
the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

While I don't understand how my state went for Trump AND Gallego, passed both props that will further enable attacks on immigrants & the unhoused AND codified abortion rights...I guess I'll take the wins where I can?
What a weird mixed bag though

Maybe I'm just coldhearted & cynical, but I'm not sure having a "special sale" is really a "sweet way to memorialize" your pet. It looks less like grieving something you loved & more like trying to make an extra buck off a dead dog.

Can you really call it a Black Friday sale if it ends *before* Thanksgiving?
Getting a little tired of the way the holiday season keeps creeping earlier & earlier & I fully blame capitalism

Y'all. Y'all. I paid $500+ and have been waiting for three months to have chairs for my dining table delivered.
Turns out I ordered cushions. Not the actual chairs. Just the seat cushions. I may never stop screaming

My kids' school is doing a charity run for a police dog program.
What. The. Hell.
Have the most underfunded public service raise money for the most overfunded one so they don't have to use their budget to take care of their dogs???
No. Absolutely not. Make cops run to give money to schools.

Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick, welcome the stranger. And never be afraid to talk politics with a smile. When they say something completely batshit, "c'mon, you don't really believe that" is always a good answer.

Sending my 3yo to his preschool party in a skeleton onesie because he can't even sit down in his Optimus Prime costume. But he might not be able to use the bathroom in the onesie...so that could be fun...

I think one of the worst quirks of online spaces is the idea that if someone doesn't post about something, they don't care about it. It encourages performative posting often makes things worse.
I care a lot. I just don't want to add another poorly-informed voice. I'm reading & thinking.
