if we change "deity's timing" to "timing" or "coincidence," I like this and might refer to it sometimes.

Apparently this used to actually happen, according to the book "The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren", which Tomer Ullman recommended to me.

I'll call it whatever I want, even if it sounds like a euphemism.

White text on a gray ombre background. Some of the best advice I've ever received? You're allowed to change your mind. at any point, you can say, I can't support this. Even if you once did. Even if you weren't sure. You're allowed to recognize when something has gone too far and walk away. The best time to speak up might have been before. The second best time is now. -Paul Avellino

Normalize having a book on your bookshelf that, when pulled, opens the door to a secret room.

On this day in 1969, I sat down in front of the TV to watch the first episode of Sesame Street on WGBH/PBS. It's the first memory of my childhood that doesn't revolve around a photograph.

What the actual fuck? I guess cis women and people of color will be next, because who wants qualified employees?
Nah, they just want white men and only want "others" when they need serfs.

US Air Force to deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from service August 07, 2025 The move means that transgender service members will now be faced with the choice of either taking a lump sum separation payment offered to junior troops or be booted from the service. All transgender members of the Air Force are being separated from the service under the current administration's policies.

seems silly, but it isn't. I am shopping for electrical adapters. I need a 30 amp "male" to household "female." I get why these were named this ages ago, but there must be new terms. innie & outie? most folks have belly buttons and they are gender-free. #genderbinary #obsolete #wordingmatters
a short black cord with orange ends. one end is "male" 30 amp. the other is "female" standard household outlet shape.

So I had to go to... Walmart. Wasn't thrilled about it. Please listen to this song by Matt the Election to the very end. Worth it.

I can't believe I just noticed today that the house I'm pet sitting in has no books.

I noticed the lack of occasional and bedside lamps right away and wondered how they read. I guess they do other things.

To be fair, there are 3 gardening books. The yard is lovely. 🤷🏼‍♀️🌷🌳
