I will say this, because I want it on record - denying that your child is neurodivergent, especially when medical professionals tell you about it, and then raising them as if they are neurotypical, IS A FORM OF ABUSE. A very common form of abuse at that. THAT is what I will call you out on.

Fable level stuff, I'd say, as those often come with a lesson: a lot of people—especially women, due to how they are often treated—are the cat. They want to see someone has the capacity for patience, respect, forethought, and kindness, ideally well *before* committing to an intimate relationship.

More options are good in this case, I think. I might still stick with the English CC subs over the non-CC variant as often as not, but I look forward to seeing how these ones are.

Total lunar eclipse tonight! 😃
Starts in about 30 minutes, starts to get visible an hour later, peaks 2 hours after that. Go look!

These are honestly the three worst "fortunes" I've ever found in fortune cookies. I mean, yes, they're all thoughtful, decent advice, but that's not what I want from a fortune cookie. I want a sweet snack with a brief, vague, broadly-interpretable message about the future. A horoscope dessert.

TIL KFC's cole slaw gets half-decently edible when mixed 1:1 with fresh chopped spinach. It's still almost dessert-grade sweet, but it begins to actually taste like vegetables.

Good advice here!
Also, call your reps. Ask what they're doing about 47 and the smirking billionaire. I need to get a script together and do that. Advice for that might help me, too.

Every bit of news is surreal and scary.
The "President" rambles endlessly and, seemingly, dementedly. The media quotes him at length.
The World's Richest Man™️ grins and illegally guts the US govt. atop a parody of a govt. agency named for an old internet meme.

Starting a new role at work in a week. Very excited, a little nervous. Haven't worked in an office in 9 years. It's going to be soooo literally quiet in there... 😳😃

Today I learned that one can trade credit card rewards points for $100 gift cards to use with Groupon.
It's like ... Metafinance.
It's so very meta that my eyes are crossing and I don't quite know how to make them stop.

At first glance, I thought that was a cookie in Santa Claus' hand. A cookie with a Baby Jesus on it that St. Nick was looking forward to eating.
Then it clicked that it was just a manger from the Nativity set on the table.

I think I'll start referring to the husk of Twitter as "Ex" instead of "X" (at least in text, where it's visibly obvious). I think that really embodies the fact that, like "whiteness", it's main defining qualities are certain absences—i.e., it's focus is now what it isn't rather than what it is.

So ... does every Feed but "Following" only go back two days?? Because that's NOT how that should work. I can see the appeal of not letting me scroll forever, but that should be my problem and my decision; artificially limiting a Feed to two days worth of posts is a crummy implementation.

That's twice in two weeks they've bought Chick-fil-A to feed the entire management and admin staff.
How do I explain to upper management the political message that sends without them getting defensive at me?

My favorite local sock company asked this in a marketing email.
I submit that it is not cannibalism, but rather a fine and creative tradition like the much-vaunted Turducken. I am a definite fan of the Sock-in-Stockin'!

If I were Democrats, right now, I’d be watching this and realizing running against billionaires is actually a winning, big tent policy if you don’t half-ass it.

Good thread! Don't just dismiss beliefs you don't understand. Find out *why* folks believe. Test it out.
There’s a scientist doing forestry research in the Cleveland area here in Ohio
Their goal is to discover which trees are best to plant to help the environment – reduce heat index, exchange carbon dioxide, etc
Oaks are the best for reducing the heat index. They haven’t figured out why yet. 🌳
