Had lunch with my adult son today...and we discussed Christian cults, ethical delimmas in video gaming, The Books of Moses by Robert Alter, and the perfect oven temperature and timing for pumpkin blondies.
As one does, at least if one is lucky enough to have an adult child who is their ADHD friend!

don't reskeet book excerpts from terrible people, even to dunk on them or to hate-read.
You give prestige magazines clicks, and you encourage them to do this crap more.

My husband and I were introduced on a blind date when I was 17 and he was 26.
When he realized I was 17 he ghosted me until I was 18 which was the only proper response.
At 49 and 58, in our 29th year of marriage, the age difference doesn’t matter.
But it sure as hell mattered when I was underage!

im only 23 and the thought of being with an 18 year old is wince-inducing despite being both legal and a pretty small gap in numbers
how are the only choices here pedophile or impotence?

The difference between an 8 year old girl and a 15 year old girl is that one can't generally get pregnant, and the other can, and child marriage is legal in way too many places in the US, so...
(Also, the sexual assaults when I was 15/16 vs. when I was 3-7 were BOTH DAMAGING AND EVIL, sheesh.)

One of the oddest things about growing up in the circles I was raised in...
I just assume folks already know that Doug Wilson, Hegseth's spiritual guru, has a habit of covering up for p*dos and r*pists, a long-documented history of it.
But people STILL act like he is new on the scene...

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Dolly Quinn's Imitation i-Cord Bind off is so perfect for top-down hats!
It's about as exact a match to the Chinese Waitress Cast-On as you can get.

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

This week’s knitting has been for our hospital region…they are accepting baby hats again to give to each newborn.
Red Heart Bitty Stripes, size 6 @kollagesquare.bsky.social DPNs, cast on 64 stitches or 8 stitches depending on top up/down, and commence playing.
Quick, easy, joyful.

I know my life is weird but I overheard my son talking to a friend and a) I instantly knew he was describing kaparot for some reason and b) *sigh*

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

with everyone gathering indoors during the holidays and catching things, then coughing and sputtering unmasked all over you, it's a good idea to protect yourself. also keeps your face warm and cozy in winter.
N95s can prevent more than just Covid!
They stop colds, flus and other airborne illness.
They’re also highly effective against pollen, pollution, wildfire smoke and environmental triggers.
Many maskers haven’t been sick in years.
Respirators are pretty amazing.
