more information in her caption
I asked that they not cover this insane, false, ridiculous accusation - they said "it's already in the ny post" I told them that it's different putting it in the Times. I said how it would affect me and my family. I asked them to cover the amazing kids of Gaza instead. I said they could do a story on the amazing work of PCRF or on amazing Rahaf. They said they were moving forward with this.

Ms Rachel says The New York Times asked her if she’s funded by Hamas
Screenshot of a post from Ms Rachel’s Instagram Real Question from The NY Times As you know, a group has suggested, albeit without evidence, that you are accepting money in order to further Hamas's agenda. Is that true? This accusation is not only absurd, it's patently false.

got an ad for a sex subscription box for long term relationships and the main selling point is “you no longer have to communicate directly with your partner”
ARYA "I love that Arya inspires our imagination. It wasn't just the box, but actually having an Intimacy Concierge. Yes!" No awkward talks. More adventurous sex. GET STARTED LOG IN Arya gives you all the tools you need to think outside of the box CONCIERGE Stop guessing what gets your partner in the mood and let your Concierge figure it out for you.

okay fine here's the full post and Paul's follow up comments. tag yourself I'm "Based on how little I know (took a class at Cal in 1964)"
Disclaimer: I am not a climatologist or any kind of scientist. So this is perhaps nonsense, but I feel compelled to say it. Climate change--absolutely. Global warming--absolutely. These are by definition global phenomena and not necessarily applicable to everyplace equally. Warmer air hold more water therefore more rain. I think that's pretty clear. We've had a lot of rain this fall so far. I know that means nothing but it got me thinking anyway. Is there some applicable science that suggests that this area will get hotter AND drier over time? Based on how little I know (took a class at Cal in 1964) the hotter it gets inland, the more cool marine air is drawn into the bay. That explains why there can be days when it is up to 30 degrees hotter in Walnut Creek than it is here. I don't know, maybe we are looking at cooler, wetter weather. Or maybe not. Has anyone with the City researched this or asked actual scientists? Comparing us to LA is just silly. It's a desert climate and always was. Good to be safer, also good not to be lemmings. There I said it. a follow up comment reading: Really it isn't my point at all. The rain just triggered my thinking. My point is that we are embarked on a fairly huge effort to increase safety from fire. It is premised on climate change, specifically that the climate change will increase the frequency of hot, dry weather here. Is there a basis for that assumption other than a hunch? I am not claiming the premise is wrong, I just am wondering if any responsible party has come to a conclusion based on informed science. It's good that people have opinions. What I was asking is if the Berkeley City Council had explored this issue in relation to the push for EMBER. There seems to me to be 3 possibilities: 1. They didn't 2. They did but in the same way we are, namely not in an informed scientific way by consulting actual climate scientists. 3. They did consider it but discounted it because the idea that we might be getting either cooler or wetter doesn't align with previously held positions. I have no clue but while we are free to opine here, the science is out there. Or maybe it is too uncertain in which case the honest thing to have said would have been "we don't know but at some expense and disruption we, on your behalf, will assume the worst." Like that.

a selection of the comments on this post, which I still refuse to share in full on the grounds that it would drive several of you completely insane
Mary from San Pablo Dam Rd read an article about how the earth wobbles on its axis as it orbits the sun, which could cause warming in the Bay Area Frank from North and East said this summer he was telling people that it seemed like the weather was being manipulated Doug from Keeler Ave says he knows a little about climate change but decided to ask Gemini 2.5 Pro, which he pays $20/month for

I have seen a nextdoor post that, if shared in full, would cause immense psychic damage to 50% of my followers at least
Paul from Keeler Forest says: Disclaimer: I am not a climatologist or any kind of scientist. So this is perhaps nonsense, but I feel compelled to say it. Climate change--absolutely. Global (screenshot cuts off)

just occurred to me that "best song ever" by one direction is also in this category
[Chorus: All] And we danced all night to the best song ever We knew every line, now I can't remember How it goes, but I know that I won't forget her 'Cause we danced all night to the best song ever [Post-Chorus: All] I think it went, "Oh, oh, oh," I think it went, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" I think it goes (Woo!)

post you from a different era (2004 and 2006)
two school photos of the same person looking very different. on the left I have long hair, dark at the roots and bleached at the bottom. I'm wearing a shirt that says SURF SISTER even though I lived in Ohio at the time. On the right I have short, dark hair with bangs and am wearing a pink shirt.

TGIF
Two weeks ago I commented on an Instagram post about my work at Wendy’s to fact check some stuff they got wrong. A person replied to me this morning and said “Wendy's fries are extremely gross!!! Dave would be disappointed & where is the super bar? Where is the sunroom? Where are the ketchup pumps when dining in? All the food at Wendy's is not good any longer! It used to be so good! Bring back the original French fries!!!!! “ and I said “bitch I don’t fucking work there anymore!!”

please. please stop explaining pregnancy and childbirth to me. I have two children
This is neither here nor there and I didn't respond to the first post - but it's important to know the first two weeks are fake. They count it from your last period, not when you actually get pregnant (usually two ish weeks after, depending on ovulation). (1/2)

i got blueskied last night
I said “new york city will experience a baby boom in ten months (they tell you it's nine but they're lying)” And a guy replied “My wife was adamant that it was actually 10 months. "It's 40 weeks. 4 weeks in a month = 10 months." Okay, but there are not actually 4 weeks per month. 280 days is 40 weeks. If a month is 365/12 = 30.4 days, then there are 9.2 months in 280 days. Rounds up to 10 only if you're >9 days overdue.”
