There is a really beautiful Okee Dokee Brothers song called Great Grandmother Tree with the line “she doesn’t live but she’s still alive”. Makes me tear up every time

He isn’t great on keeping his library funding promise, alas. But other than that…

I don’t think they’re going to see a bump from this.

I learned about it because of a rec to use it + masking when traveling to avoid the worst of things. Sure does leave a terrible taste but worth it

IBCK Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus episode alert. I quibble less with the emotion than the idea that “men lead with logic” looking at our government right now. I do think that it’s concerning and worth further inquiry.

Thank you so much for sharing. I hadn’t heard of this and now everyone I know has to see it and revel in it.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA

federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

tell everyone you know

www.freetaxusa.com

I strongly approve of this

We’re big Okee Dokee fans!

We have a joke about not signing legal documents post-procedure because my loopy husband kept reminding me of that, forgetting he’d ever told me before

I had no idea they burrowed right down so far

I knew Spain was onto something when they decided to boycott Eurovision this year over the continued participation of Israel

That delighted me, as well

I made cranberry almond streusel muffins. Perfect with a cup of tea

That enrages me. I bet many of them wear glasses. Would they be able to do without them? We appreciate your work so much. My daughter and I texted at the same time “they should get Ashley Shew to do convo!” ❤️

This is perfect. My daughter and I have talked about this in the context of her college convocations. Disability has been a topic a few times but one of them was essentially “rise and grind even when you’re blind” which did not seem helpful.

Ah, Trev.

This definitely gets into the fancy realm, but the supermarket closest to our house sells these *and* refills them for free. Our kids got hours and hours of entertainment out of them and named them, etc. Surprisingly long-lasting magic https://www.myownpetballoon.com/

American Movie is so great. We refer to it frequently in our house

This is great news! I admit that when reading it my first thought was “well it’s easy to ban land-based shark fishing because there are no land-based sharks”.

Putting the socks into the shoes is 🧑‍🍳💋

It’s such a perfect karaoke song for just this reason. I love it and taught it to my kids, who also love it. The absurdity is delightful

Now I need this for Eurovision

The way the other two look around at the rest to see what their convictions should be is really something

Texted photo of a gray tabby on a tan cashmere throw over a pair of legs on a recliner. The cat has one eye partially closed and appears to be winking. Text from me reads: "Mama, why are you winking at me? What am I to do?" says Kitty... Response: Lol Now you'll start complaining about her coughing Me: You have no pity on my poor nerves!!! Kid responded with a Ha Ha reaction

Reaping the benefits of having done Pride and Prejudice as a read-aloud with the first-born in high school followed by several watch parties of the BBC adaptation in this text exchange

The idea that Tyler Austin Harper is functionally a lefty at all is really something. Not been impressed with any of his takes

You posted earlier in the week about the practice at C&P on Saturday. That’s still happening, yes?

Being extremely generous, I wonder if they mean that the amount you get by volume is less, like the real difference between kosher salt and table salt. Probably not, though. Or they’re conflating sea salt and kosher salt. Wonder how they’d do in a blind taste test? Wonder how I’d do.

No regrets at all for just assuming things were impossible or not noticing

It all makes me angry but the mischaracterization of you as an unkind person based on your continual advocacy for the human dignity of fat people (and all people) makes me the angriest. How does that asshat count themselves in the realm of the “kind” with that vitriol?
