Mom, word nerd, ADHD, she/her. These are a few of my favorite things: curiosity, creativity, nourishment, beauty, and humor.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

Autism is a spectrum, not "one size fits all". New research suggests that 4 types of autism exist. Children may have genetic mutations that manifest at different times in their life.

There are many autisms.

RFK Jr. did not find the cause. And it's not vaccines or Tylenol.

I am just a humble physicist devising new modes of sandwich with corn fritters and leftover turkey, it’s not for me to say if this is “brilliant” or “unimaginably creative” or “the sort of orthogonal sandwich thinking that comes along once in a generation.” That is for the MacArthur folks to decide.

I enjoy whenever an entire household is beholden to the whims of one cat

This animal just standing in the living room, screaming, while the human adults explain "Sorry, Gibby likes it when we smack his ass with a cardboard tube for 10mins at 6pm every day, hold on". That is good to me.

And if you do get in solely by benefitting from discrimination, you're going to find yourself a mediocrity amid mediocrities.

That's why corporate America adopted DEI, after all: not because of woke, but because limiting your talent pool to legacy admissions is exceptionally stupid!

Bit of a wild story. Hearing this second hand, but buckle up.

ICE attempted to pull a Kavanaugh stop last night (Christmas Eve), pulling over my mom’s boss (an LPR). He proved his immigration status, but they decided to go after the coworker he was with instead. It gets wilder from here… 1/

The 4yo, watching the candles on our wind machine on Christmas Eve, staring peacefully and pensively:

"I had a thought when I was a baby, but I didn't know how to talk so I couldn't share it. But I think I can share that feeling now."

Me: "Oh?"

4yo: "I felt... like I wanted to eat many cookies."

you’d be amazed at the pedagogical power of being loudly wrong about many things if you actually listen to the harangues of your critics, though

“Because riders and passersby can be unreliable, Waymo pays workers in Los Angeles $20 or more for rescuing a robotaxi by closing a door, summoning help through an app called Honk that is like an Uber for towing companies.”

Waymo robotaxis get stranded when a passenger leaves the door open. Tow truck operators can get paid $22 to close a door and set them free again.

Irish woman with green card, bounced 2 checks totaling $80 ten years ago. For this "crime of moral turpitude," she was held pending deportation, no bond, and put in isolation for asking for low-sodium food.

It's great she's out. But also white privilege – 18 Senators wrote to Kristi Noem about her.
A grandmother will spend Christmas with her family after ICE held her for nearly five months. She’s had a green card for 30+ years and lived in the U.S. since childhood. Her detention ended only after public and congressional pressure.
