You're absolutely wrong. My husband is the top American fan of Taskmaster!

Look, I think the real problem is just not understanding how to adjust for inflation. If we're adjusting from 1925 dollars, these are $500+ shoes. But are they any uglier or less comfortable than many shoes made for women today? As a woman, I don't think so.

I literally saw a picture posted on the Facebook page for my hometown of a house with a big sign that said "I am Charlie Kirk"

THIS is the kind of content I want to see more of on Bluesky!

Owls in the Family is the only Farley Mowat book I encountered as a kid. I don't know if there are others, but I'll probably look into it when I have a kid of my own! My mom read a couple of his adult books to my family on road trips when I was a kid (like Never Cry Wolf), which I also loved.

Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing by Judy Blume, the Henry series by Beverly Clearly, Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat, basically anything by Dick King-Smith (Three Terrible Trins was a favorite of mine, it miiiiight be too scary for your kid, but I was really easily scared as a kid and I loved it!)

Seems like a great topic for a Maintenance Phase x In Bed With The Right crossover episode!

So this hypothetical young man was told in kindergarten, during the 1998/99 school year, that he was racist, sexist, and homophobic? And told by teachers when he was 12, in 2005, that he was trans? Do these people remember what the political and cultural climate of this country was like then?

As a teenager circa 2008, I remember hearing a segment debating debating conversion therapy for trans kids on NPR's Talk of the Nation. And I was like, if I don't believe in this for gay people, why would it make any more sense for trans people? And I think that was the beginning for me.

Unsolicited advice: digging up old brassica stumps is easier with a potato fork/digging fork (rather than a pitchfork). Happy gardening!

Unfortunately, I don't think every member of the Republican Congressional delegation from NYS is actually vulnerable. My district, NY-23, went 61-39 for Trump in 2024.

First thing that came to my mind was Promising Young Woman, if you haven't seen it already. It came out a few years ago and got somewhat mixed reviews. Bloody thrillers are usually far out of my wheelhouse, but I thought it was great when I finally got around to watching it.

Not even a mom yet, but just a woman who would like kids in the not too distant future, so interact parenting stuff in IG. My feed is often trying to shove anti-vaxx, tradwife, etc stuff to me...

My favorite tabletop game is Wingspan, which is about birds and so beautiful! Lots of elements going on, so games play out quite differently. My husband and I play it at least once a week. It's not super narrative and it's only about 75 min, but since you seem to be outdoorsy, I had to mention it.
