Not me setting up a motherfucking system of equations to figure out how much ruffled trim I can get out of this leftover fabric.

My 15yo's phone gets non-stop spam calls and texts. Several an hour. They don't even know their phone number, so it's not like they got themselves on a list.

That's how I feel about Berger losing.

Ironically, the patch adhesive would probably trigger dermatitis in me. I seem to react to all the skin adhesives. 😝

I was like, how would they figure out you're allergic to that?! But then apparently it's really common, like maybe 10% of people react to it? So frustrating. 😫 Why do they even use it?

Beeswax would suck for me, I'm so sorry. I'm up to my elbows in beeswax at this moment from waxing/sealing my new heddle loom, and I use it to condition my threads while hand sewing. 😭

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

Maternal grandfather was a computer programmer for IBM before you had to have a college degree to do that. He worked his way to middle management.

Paternal grandfather worked security for IBM, but also worked a saw mill, was a carpenter, and drove trucks.

Guess how my parents met?

a tweet from the Nazi/Child Porn Website made by perennial douche bag hack Jesse Singal reads: "The level of misinformation spread by me about youth gender medicine, because I have a professional stake in it, is really pathetic."

I feel like I've used up my quota of parenting my teen today. As such, for each additional instance of parenting, there will be a surcharge.

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

And then the day after is likely stomach issues and migraines. She had taken medical leave for knee replacement, and that's the only reason she had the time to have the colonoscopy that caught her cancer.

This, plus, for my mom it was not having enough days consecutively off work. She worked grocery retail, and couldn't work during prep day because she is diabetic and couldn't work with low blood sugar! And then obviously you can't work procedure day....

25x4 is 100, and there are four 4s in 16, so 4x100=400.
