Here’s the thing: a President openly contemptuous of Congress & willing, unilaterally, to recklessly and illegally commit the US to wars of aggression is an existential threat to the Republic, *regardless* of whether he can ultimately explain his acts to Congress.
The demand must be impeachment.
Hell yeah! Tirzepatide had an almost instantaneous effect on my reduced mental stamina. Still not “cured” but grateful to have this drug in my Long COVID kit.
Please, more of these off-label trials of treatments that are anecdotally proven. We have nothing else.
My family wore out our first cassette tape of his Redwoods live concert. Probably would have needed to buy a third if we hadn’t ultimately got a car with a compact disc player.
God we need this so badly
I don’t usually love loose adaptations, but here we are! And yet, if there isn’t some sort of Magnifico twist in the offing, I don’t think I’m going to be okay.
@bsky.app I’m going to use my first ill wish to wish for a million ill wishes, distributed amongst transphobes in proportion to their hoarded wealth. 🧞♂️
I married a theatre guy I met in marching band
Something not enough comic book movie fans (let alone media critics) appreciate is that The Dark Knight and The Lego Batman Movie can be simultaneously appealing to a single person.
The spouse and I met in marching band, and our daughter has been bewildering us with KPop Demon Hunters. Maybe MBCPR will be something we can enjoy as a family?
If you think “I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you” is a gem of a lyric, welcome to this essay, which is all the jewels in the Tower of London (but, like, of ethical provenance).
Had surgery in January. Anesthesiologist removed my N95 to gas me. When I woke up in the crowded recovery area, I was still unmasked. The carelessness is unbelievable.
A snow-covered boulder blocking one lane of a snowy highway.
Elizabeth Warren for Senate Minority Leader.
Mazie Hirono for Senate Minority Leader.
Markey, Merkley or Welch for Senate Minority Leader.
Fuck it, Large Boulder The Size Of A Small Boulder for Senate Minority Leader. At least when it falls into a position it can be trusted to fucking stay there.
Well, @npr.org, my spouse had to learn how to wash my hair. A cab driver transporting me to the hospital expressed disbelief that my spouse hadn’t left me. On days when I have more energy, my spouse gets emotional over having part of me “back” for a bit.
Joy? Go to hell.
The Brooklyn Public Library has announced that any teenager in America is now eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card.

My spouse also gave this to me for Christmas! He hasn’t read it yet, but our 9-year-old perused it and came away with a blown mind: “They broke the fourth wall!”
YES! Chuck, where do you live? Can you call your Senator?
If a children’s* cartoon gets the civility trap, imagine how easy it is for manipulators to abuse it.
*Let’s be real; “Phineas and Ferb” transcends age.
Aunts aren’t gentlemen.

Tl;dr: my gallbladder is getting removed next week and I kinda want to go back to the ER and rub my CT images in his judgmental face.
Recently I advised a triage nurse that I have terrible veins. He looked askance at my scars. “How do you know?” BECAUSE I REQUIRE WEEKLY IV INFUSIONS FOR LOW BLOOD VOLUME
Pain=10 for hours. Out of body almost. I wanted him to stick me already. How to advocate for myself with an acceptable affect?
…what name do you use if one of the Batmen asks for a letter of recommendation?
Is this gift from my in-laws factoring into my satisfaction with my marriage? Yes.
Delightful behind-the-scenes tour of the technological, economic, and artistic developments that culminated in my stealing the Sunday Trib in my sock feet before my mother woke up.
ANGUA: You have my claws.
SALLY: And my fangs.
Why isn’t this a national scandal?
Tachycardia, baby!
Sad to be sincerely pleased. Last year she’d have had to stay home if the spouse couldn’t do pickup. Today: gushing about a new girl she met and asking for a friendship bracelet spelling consult.
Now if I could feel less guilty about her fending for herself (Roblox & leftovers) while I crashed…
Bundled up. Went downstairs. Walked 800 ft. Sat on my rollator for five minutes. Reversed the process once my daughter got out of ballet class.
THEN TOOK A FIVE-HOUR NAP.
Progress!
