Being on the early shift with a newborn means I’m pretty excited for DLS to end this weekend.
ok ok FINE I’ll weigh in on the big hairy political question on everyone’s mind in the US this weekend. We tried permanent Daylight Saving Time already. Way back in 1973. People hated it so much (think: still night at 8AM in January) that Congress repealed it less than a year later in 1974.
The US Tried Permanent Daylight Saving Time in the ’70s. People Hated It - Washingtonian
The sun rose at 8:27 AM on January 7, 1974. Children in the Washington area had left for school in the dark that morning, thanks to a new national experiment during a wrenching energy crisis: most of ...

6yo believes that as you start to go to sleep various parts of your body start to shut down in sequence, and I like this idea very much because as she climbs into bed she says “oh, there goes my bones”

Completely forgot about the eclipse today so it totally caught me off-guard while I was at the garden center. Found this cute little plant right afterwards, though, and it was so cheap! Taking name suggestions!

This week, Uganda's Constitutional Court upheld a law that makes homosexuality punishable by death.
To justify it, the Court cited the US Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs as an example of using "the nation's history and traditions...to overrule the broader right to individual autonomy"

Given that Brianna Ghey, Nex Benedict, and the unnamed London skating rink victim were all attacked by cis white women, I think we need to come to grips **pretty quickly** that young women are being just as radicalized toward reactionary violence and bigotry as young men.

I know we're going to talk a lot about abortion access and, more abstractly, democracy, as stakes in the 2024 election. And we should.
But you should also know that for trans folks, if the GOP gets the presidency and Congress, we will lose our healthcare

I once told a phlebotomist I was hard to stick so she should go through my hand, it doesn’t bother me. She said “well you haven’t had me before” then proceeded to stick both arms before finally moving to my hand 🙃
CW: needles
Each year, I get blood drawn & warn the phlebotomist I'm a "hard stick."
Every time, they just smile & nod—until they actually start trying to find a vein, & keep trying, & keep trying… 😆
Today, they only stuck me once! 🎉
(4 is my record for # of attempts it took to draw one vial)
