question for the parents in the room: how do I handle it when i break a "rule" in front of a toddler? I don't want to say "adults can do things kids can't" because I feel like it's potentially the wrong lesson, but also, I want to set my marshmallows on fire without upsetting the kid.

Reposting for the nighttime (or daytime, I don’t know where you are) crowd. Buying books or suggesting them to your local library are the best ways to help this #ME/CFS and #longCOVID having author this #DisabilityPrideMonth. #HelpSky

So. Things are pretty rough. A mutual aid-ish thread. In 2023, I had to leave my job because of long COVID. I’m in the process of applying for disability, but it is long, vague, and not a sure thing. SSDI limits my ability to accept work, but with my lawyer’s blessing, I am still writing.

Sometimes the “I can’t write because the world is on fire” feeling turns into an “I must write because the world is on fire” feeling, so don’t quit.

We understand this correct? Project 2025 is not fringe on the right. It's just that everyone in the center and on the left doesn't pay attention to evangelicals cause y'all think they're funny and weird instead of wildly fucking dangerous. Project 2025 is dead serious and extremely popular.

Project 2025 is a creation of Evangelicals and it's the core mission of the evangelical right. It's what major evangelical organizations have been building towards for decades. It's not fringe. (I just fact checked a whole book a out this.)

Every August, typeface designers flock to the middle of the desert for a week of sex & drugs, and they erect a large wooden word with all the spacing fucked up. They call it Kerning Man

From Insta: When your therapist tells you: "The fact that you're considered 'high functioning' doesn't mean your illness is easier for you to deal with. It means it's easier for others to deal with." ☝️Interesting bookends to my day👇

You're a person, not a chore.

If you're worried about brevity in your writing, don't. It took Project 2025 nine hundred pages to say fourteen words.

“Unhinged” implies that I was once “hinged.” I am as hingeless as the day God made me.

A week ago one of my mutuals out of nowhere sent me a super kind and encouraging note and it made my whole day. A highly recommended activity. Go give someone some encouragement. I would bet good money they need it.

We should have three presidents per ticket: 1st shift president, 2nd shift president, and Waffle-house chair girl

my hot take is that the president should be and live like a normal human, and so I reject the premise that the president must work 130 hour weeks and never be well-rested. he has dozens of staffers who can cover shifts!

I read agony aunt columns and AITA stuff. There's a new one in Prudence this week behind a paywall so I didn't read beyond the question. The question was My partner just came out as trans. IDC what gender they are, but it's he/they now. How do I best support him. My answer as a cis woman is...

That's what you ask your trans partner, or any partner going through an experience which isn't about you, and one that is hard. You tell them that you don't understand all of what they are going through but you want to offer your (unconditional ideally) love and support and ask them how to do that

🧵

The purpose of the Kobayashi Maru test is to put the candidate in a position which is hopelessly fucked. Where there are no good options. Maybe their decisions led them to that no-win situation, maybe it was just bad luck, but it doesn't matter at that point: they are now fucked.

this is literally evidence that he is still sharp. people with significant cognitive decline don’t catch flubs like this in real time. people with dementia don’t catch them at all. it’s like calling someone feeble who tripped over a curb and regained their balance without falling.

Now everyone--The Times and, sorry to say, MSNBC--is noting every missed syllable. The man has a stutter. I don't stutter but I am a mushmouth who speaks too fast and slurs words. I've had to overcome fear of public speaking. I have empathy for Biden. The press has empathy for no one (but Trump).
