This will destroy much of bluesky. But the waters will recede.

Honestly I'm lucky to be at an inclusive and yes liberal school, where we support trans kids and respect their new names & pronouns, but we definitely don't mutalize them. 😂

Oh yeah I work at a public school and we have a whole wing for mutalization.

This maybe isn't the most important takeaway from the Jack Smith hearing, but everyone should watch women's sports.

I could have sworn it was from "The Berenstein Bears and Mandela's Bucket List," published in the late 1980s.

I can't believe I've never thought to write this. It's perfect. The answer key is an absolutely incredible work of genius.

Since I haven't found a full-time position yet, I am very eager to do more freelance work. Between cost of living and taking care of my senior dog, a few freelance gigs could go a long way. If you don't need a freelancer but can share this post, I'd really appreciate that too!

I've always loved it - I think he was pushing back against impossible poetic descriptions of beauty, and describing a love that's more real than all the other sonnets. Not sure everybody would hear it that way, though. 😁

This is why I never go to Wildcats games. A good lawyer can put me in any city in the country.

I had been hearing live versions for years and the crowd always cheers for that line because we understand its deep romantic truth - it never occurred to me that anyone would hear it any other way. Thinking about it later, yeah, I'm lucky she didn't slap me.

I sang along to these lyrics once while looking into the eyes of a girl I had just started dating. She told me later she almost dumped me that night. Instead, she started listening to his music and then she got it and then we got married and heard him play this in Ireland on our honeymoon.

I'm late this weekend, but I absolutely love the story @AndrewsSusanM creates in this #haikuSaturday prompt. The other versions take it in unexpected directions, making this a delightful thread to read (as always). I'll try to add mine tonight...

I did but then I went back in time to undo it because I was so embarrassed.

Oof. I love this, but I can feel it in my joints. I love the wordplay (in both meaning & sound) in the first line.

Tell her welcome to the neighborhood for me! It's a great place to live, though some people like to get away sometimes - so maybe a flight attendant job is a good fit. Not me, though - I love it all the time!

If you show up to a job interview in Chicago with a PBR tall boy and a shot of Malort you are absolutely getting that job.
