Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

So Twin Cities Orthopedics reached a milestone today: 25,000 surgeries. They had a big celebration in the lobby of the recovery facility with Surgery #25,000 Dude, the surgeon, social media photos… balloons and photos and candy.

Guess who was surgery #25,001. 😂

Why do I show you its beauty

I show you resilience.
Strength.

The government is shutdown, and millions of Americans are about to go without food and/or medicine because of him.

So what does Donald Trump do? Keeps bragging about his $300,000,000 golden ballroom and throws a Great Gatsby party at his private resort.

He is so stupidly tone-deaf.

I absolutely love that Portland is fighting an authoritarian invasion with music and silliness.

One of my favorite parts of working with English language learners is when someone who’s been here for two months says they’re looking forward to experiencing their first Minnesota winter and the other students laugh and laugh. 🥶❄️

It’s crazy that in 20 years scamming has gone from “I’m a prince who needs to transfer his fortune to you” to “hey I have a halfway decent job with okay benefits right here”

Right after "Don't use semicolons," "Don't use adverbs," "Don't use speech tags beyond 'said' and 'says,'" and "Don't ever use the word 'that,'" my favorite piece of writing advice is "Don't listen to people giving writing advice who only ever tell you not to do things."

Having temporary limited mobility (using a cane/walker after hip replacement) has been absolutely eye-opening in realizing how many barriers there are to moving around safely on sidewalks, in buildings, in parks, etc.
