I left for an eye health appointment at 11:30 this (yesterday) morning. two referrals later I've been in a variety of A&E waiting rooms for over 6 hours and it's payday tomorrow (today). what treat do I deserve?

In case we thought that ecological disasters were a special talent of modernity, let’s talk about how the 13th-century peat trade of Norfolk made it permanently vulnerable to flooding, including 3 catastrophic floods just since 2013.

Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. I likes armadillos
The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

there's something quite funny about Billy Bragg writing a Minneapolis protest song only to promptly get gazumped by Bruce Springsteen (I like Bragg's better, personally, even if I'm always reminded of the Bill Bailey parody when I hear him now)

"They're bringing back captive farm labor" should be a WAY bigger deal than it is.
But it's all swaddled in layers & layers of bureaucratic gobbledygoo in the H2A program. So few writers have the attention span to look into it.
And "LOOK! SECRET POLICE!" is kinda right in front of us. So. Yeah.

I think at this point the UK has accepted Paddington as the Death Bear, collector of souls. So, I think as a nation we should start smearing marmalade on the eyes of the dead and whisper “fare for the crossing”. It’ll feel weird now but, in three of four generations, no one will question it.

Just for context when I complained to hotel chocolate that one of their shops wasn’t wheelchair accessible because they didn’t have a ramp, which fails to comply with the Equality Act I got a £100 voucher and no write up in the times for my suffering

Good morning!
Last night I learned three important things:
1) My flight today from Toronto to NYC to give a talk in the Planetarium at AMNH tomorrow was cancelled due to the snow
2) The best alternative Air Canada could offer me was Wednesday morning: too late!
3) But there is a TRAIN 🚂

been plagued with headaches and nausea, on top of some other symptoms I'm exploring with the doctor that may or may not be related. my husband says "oh, that sounds like a migraine. I used to get them, until I started having seizures." which was maybe not as comforting as he hoped!

They never worried about what a truly dire fuckup killing an Alex Pretti would be because it never occurred to them that an Alex Pretti could ever exist
So now they have no idea what the fuck to do. Because they don’t even fully understand what’s just happened

Regular reminder to Gen Xers that you may not have been vaccinated for measles and can have the MMR now to catch up.
Also measles can wipe out immunity to other diseases if you catch it, so worth getting jabbed up.

👋🏿 I'm Winifred. In 2025 I:
*Survived a MN winter w/o consistent heat/hot water
*Sold an "erotic houseplant horror" story
*Had surgery
*Did births in 3 diff states w/ 4 diff midwifery practices from off grid shacks to urban mansions to tiny apts
I'm exhausted but I'm only 9% away from fully funded.

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.
