Tonight I made a vegetable pot pie for dinner and made way too much béchamel for the filling. Spouse’s suggestion: let’s just warm the leftover sauce and dip bread in it like fondue.

Today I organized my books so instead of my nightstand holding three piles of books it only has one and I feel like I deserve a prize or a parade or something.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

My (nonlawyer) partner just asked me why an em dash is called that and I told him so with reluctance I must now admit that law review has come in useful in real life on at least one occasion.

If you need a reminder that almost every aspect of the US legal system is designed to reinforce racist hierarchies, look no further than the Bluebook, which went through 21 editions before including for the first time a rule with guidelines for citing sources produced by Tribal Nations.

The court "does irrevocable damage to the Equal Protection Clause and invites legislatures to engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications in plain sight. It also authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to transgender children and the parents and families who love them."

Earlier this spring I read The Devil Comes Courting and now I’ve just finished Once Upon a Marquess so I guess here I go ordering the entirety of the Worth Saga. @courtneymilan.com knows how to write a strong complex heroine and a hero who appreciates that he needs to work to earn her partnership.

Over two months ago my partner and I came to Idaho to stay with his parents while his dad was in hospice. We brought 50 lbs of flour with us. We have used nearly all the flour.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

I've been in Idaho for a month now (taking care of my FIL in hospice) and officially missing a lot of things about being at home. Missing my own space and stuff but also my yard and garden. Doing zero gardening for the first time since 2020 and I'm missing it a lot more than I thought I would.

It’s not often I can be called upon for a sports reference but I do know how to score baseball, not because I love any particular team but because it’s a fun pastime to share with my dad. Which is why when Brooklyn 99 references Derek Jeter I am able to inform my spouse that he is a baseball player.
