I made the thread emoji happen 🧵 🪡 -- that might be my proudest accomplishment. I think this is where I'm following all the amazing textile artists and sewists I first found on instagram.
What are you talking about? The top article over there is "earth" and it accurately states that the earth is round before diving into a definition of hermaneutics that explains creationism.

We have to fill out pink cards every year. Every year they ask for our son's pediatrician's phone number. Every year I have a good laugh. You think you can just call a doctor's office? Just ring them up, tra la la?

Cuomo is out there talking about protecting unhoused people by inventing a whole new bureaucracy to dismantle rent stabilization by making everyone prove their income every year. But I'm sure its his use of "unhoused" that is not resonating with voters.

I know. But that doesn't make it easier as a parent (who by definition is behind the curve and understands nothing) to convince a teenager that my knowledge and insight is more reliable than what his friends are watching on tiktok.

He's little extra, in the grand scheme of things, but I think a lot of people have the same general reaction. There are so many rules to follow so they just give up.

I have a teen who will go to bed without dinner because tortellini with pesto doesn't have enough protein and it's just going to fill him up. He would 100% absorb this information and say he is just going to eat Takis because frozen spinach doesn't have fiber.

Sadly, I'm pretty sure their next move is going to be explaining that chewing releases/produces important enzymes that are beneficial for digestion and somehow fiber figures into that equation. Maybe fiber is an enzyme in that parallel reality?

Pull ups are one of my goals for 2025 and I keep a band on a bar in my hallway. I was weirdly gratified when a visiting 16yo said "oh! We have these at school" and used my pull up assist band to do two. I assumed that a healthy 16yo boy would easily crack out ten.

Why do I feel compelled to defend not being able to do a pull up?

DC is so scary and crime riddled that no one is safe except for the nonagenarian hippies. They're safe. Just no one else.

I definitely read it the first three times as "I cannot have a conversation without all of these authors assembled" and I honestly felt a little bad for the guy.

My sister and I barely get along half the time. The way we shouted in unison when our mother tried to defend the book surprised even us.

The actual policies are things like making sure that opportunities training that might lead to promotion are widely publicized, but if you say that in an article, it just sounds ridiculously non-controversial. Which is why it needs to be actually said.

What policies are we talking about? Do they have a quota for people of color in leadership positions? (No, they do not) Or do they have a committee somewhere that makes sure staff from a wide range of religious backgrounds feel comfortable working in their uniforms?

Instead they're two-sidesing the story without adding any information: Costco says "we're not the asshole" while a bunch of people in power say "actually, they're the asshole." That's the whole story, basically every time.
