Two bins sit empty in the garage and the recycling is in a bunch of paper grocery bags in the kitchen (convenient like a tortilla bowl salad & also I have ADHD)

Wow, so many movies I need to check out!

I haven't seen this movie since initial VHS viewing several decades ago, but pieces have sure stuck in my mind and I do want to re-watch: Basket Case (1982).

Something about an evil disabled baby so for sure it is very problematic & trashy! (Gem???)

Okay glad I misread this.

Now I shall regale my future grandchildren with the tale of "Old Saucepan", an octogenarian prez who (finally) did the right thing!

I read it to get annoyed with you and am indeed satisfied on that front!

I remember watching this same lack of understanding play out after the Columbine shootings when we had just moved to Denver.

And yeah I've even had discussions with my kids' teachers who were clueless about bullying.

"The Worst Time Travel" -- LOVE IT

Spouse & I both have ADHD, intensified by aging and life circumstance, and we "joke" that now there are no adults in the house

The existence of these whisper networks breaks my fucking heart.

An admission that WOMEN WILL BE RAPED and the best you can do is make sure that the women getting raped are outside your social circle.

I bet autistic women get left out a lot.

Left out like bait along with other marginalised folk.

On my son's birthday one year there was a huge wildfire. We could see when the fire reached the top of the ridge across from us and lit up the skyline. Son said it was like the biggest birthday candle in the world.

We had to evacuate & still remember that fire as son's big birthday candle!

top comic panel: photo of Karl Marx pasted onto comic-guy says "The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living," and white comic-woman happily responds "Awww, you're sweet." bottom comic panel: photo of Kamala Harris pasted onto another comic-guy says "You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you," and same white comic-woman responds fearfully "HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?!"

Ah, that's all the coconut refs! (Also, this one for sure needs an alt text version!)

Wow, love this and also finally embracing for myself.

Other day spouse opened package and said "how many boxes of gloves do you go through?" in scoldy manner.

I recently discovered game-changing disposable 8mm gloves and gave him withering glare "YOU WANNA START SUMTHIN MISTER??" & he backed down!

Good on teen you -- that man & his fans are vile & wolves ROCK

Online pre-www: lonely jr hi me met teen boy in a compuserve chat room & we became old-fashion stamp & envelope penpals for a while

Post-www: found snopes and proved to husband his kidney theft email spam was bogus just as I suspected

That does sound lovely!

I'm gen x & been hopping in and out of walled gardens since the early 80s (BBS's, compuserve, &c.) as I never could make "real" friends. (I have a millennial kid and was in a prodigy forum with other moms due the same time!)

I kinda relish the freedom of friendless-ness

I was in the FFA in high school and spent many hours grading and wrapping tobacco

Ras Kassa's Ethiopian Restaurant: Photo 2

Every time I drive by that ugly building I remember the wonderful Ethiopian restaurant (with a terrace overlooking Boulder Creek) that had to move out of town to make way for our evil overlords localhistory.boulderlibrary.org/islandora/ob...
