I will not be taking pictures of the scavenger who figured out how to open my laundry hamper this morning.
He knows what he did, and that pair of underwear is in the trash.

I wish "Why am I waking up with a huge sinus headache every morning? Wait, when was the last time I dusted, cleaned the air filter, and washed my bedding?" wasn't a regular occurrence.

Attacking pre-school teachers because they don’t think Palestinian kids should be bombed to death? Declaring NYC’s first Muslim mayor “our enemy?” Fomenting hatred, even within the Jewish community?
You’re not making anyone safer.🧵

Off to rehearsal (I have one every night for the next two weeks, for various groups) which I'm sure will be better for my mental health than doomscrolling.

Foundling Fathers by @megelison is a much needed satire about America that's Clone High meets Hamilton meets Jurassic Park. Ruin a politician's holiday! Pre-order everywhere you get your books!

And now I'm tearing up over Carrie Fisher again.
“It makes you very fast or very sad. Or both. Those are fun days. So judgement isn’t one of my big things. But I have a good voice. I can write well. I’m not a good bicycle rider. I’m just like everybody else, only louder and faster and then sleepy.”
Happy bipolar day. Carrie was peak One Of Us.

I see we're doing "but these AI tools are so useful for coding!" discourse again.

Had my sister's family over for thanksgiving last night, and my sister was talking about having used ChatGPT to check the algebra homework of a kid she's tutoring.
Both my niblings immediately said "MOM, NO."
The kids are okay! (The rest of us, not so much.)
