There was a mashed potato bar at the wedding I went to last night and now I'm wondering whether my wife and I should have a wedding -- it's been 7 years, but it's never too late, right????

Me: our power surged and half our outlets don't work, along with two light switches and the dishwasher. also the porch light

Electrician who installed the whole-house surge protector over the summer: did you change the lightbulb in the porch light?

Me: EVER HEARD OF OCCAM'S RAZOR, GORDON

This is for all stores! Don’t go to your campus Starbucks during the strike!
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Great start to a Friday morning: got in early, tidied up my desk a little, got myself organized, opened my computer to find that the WiFi is down yet again.

Don’t watch Shetland because at first it’s just a quiet little detective show and then one day you’ll wake to find yourself wearing an oatmeal-coloured cable knit jumper and staring off into the middle distance

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia was founded in 1855
Schneider was born in 1963.
Pretty sure that childhood diseases like measles and rubella (just for a start) were definitely around.

Not surprised but still disappointed that ASHA changed their Certification Standards to remove references to diversity and inclusion

Got to give a guest lecture in @reilly-coglab.com's neurocognitive disorders class on the role of the SLP in end-of-life care and I'm so pleased with how it went! This group of MA students is so engaged and thoughtful! Teaching is so much easier when it's not fractions to 12-year-olds!

Farfalle is awful because it cooks unevenly. If the distal part of the bow is al dente, the middle is crunchy, and if the middle is al dente, the distal part is too limp.
a second day of the same discourse? no. no thank you.

instead I need you to name your least favorite pasta shape

Went to the fall fair at my kid’s school today and man, seeing every other grown person wearing a shirt with the Quaker values of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equity, and stewardship felt like its own mini protest

There’s a murder of crows as well as a vulture just hanging out in the hospital parking lot which feels ominous

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

One thing I enjoy about our new multimillion dollar state of the art building is how the wifi goes out at least once a day and they charge you to use an ethernet port

Someone needs to bottle the specific blend of exhaustion and inspiration that conferences evoke. I want to sleep for 20 hours but also write two papers and a poem.

Wish there were a way of convincing Apple Music that my specific brand of dad rock appreciation does not extend to Duran Duran or Coldplay

Nerds of bsky: do you pronounce lmer() as L.M.E.R, Elmer, la mer, or something else?

In class, watching a video on "the high amplitude sucking paradigm" like damn how'd they find the working title for my dissertation?

My child, who admittedly does not interact with very many men, referred to a mustache as an “up beard” today
