“Well maybe I will, you crazy ass bitch” has become a bit of a humorous family catch phrase after hearing some neighbors screaming at each other in the street almost a decade ago. Usually happened on holidays. I think yelling at each other in the street was a tradition. Good times.

And we’ve just finished buying/selling/moving from FL to NY, with our family split up in different places for many months. Closed on the new house in September, sold the old one in February. It’s been 🤯. Still recovering.

Frankly half the reason we just adopted two cats is bc we need to spread the emotional support around a bit more. I’ve been half joking for months that Mochi, my 14lb Havanese dog, is carrying all the weight of our family’s emotional support. But yeah, a lot of it was just me.

I feel like she is all of the sane people in the US.

Yes, I was just agreeing with you.

Yeah this was local/regional in Columbia SC. Went to one in Charlotte too. Local parks program in Columbia.

And clearly the competition in question *did* have separate gender classes, so saying fencing is mixed gender obviously isn’t true all the time, and this shouldn’t have been a Thing regardless.

My oldest son did fencing as a child and the competitions he was in didn’t separate children by gender- but there were not really enough girls to have separate competitions. I can’t remember about the adults- I had a baby and toddler and we usually cut out after my son’s matches. Around 2005?

Been off meds since 2019, not certain how long that will last now. The people around me are struggling and managing that energy around me is a lot as I’ve historically been the source of coregulation for them. I need to move more and take more outdoor time- but I’m often stuck in freeze mode.

So, they have a maintenance window every night at 1:15am for 3 hours. Seems like a lot of down time….speaking as someone whose partner has worked during maintenance windows their whole career. Often for companies that try to keep services 24/7. It’s usually just Sunday morning.

Could have just been his shitty insurance and not having a prescription from his doctor…I hope it all goes smoothly for you. I had actually thought the ACA required coverage for all vaccines on the standard schedule, so perhaps they made a mistake.

Thank you on behalf of my Albertan loved ones.

Baby tapirs are really some of the most glorious creatures on earth.

Measles vaccines are unfortunately expensive and sometimes not covered by insurance if you try to get one at the pharmacy (they told my son $300), though they should be accessible through local health departments free. How accessible one’s local health department is may vary.

Oh, you’ll just end up getting all their newsletters full of lies and misdirection. Based on my experience living in FL as an actual constituent.

It’s last night’s view from my bedroom window.
