It's an interesting feeling, standing at a place that marks success, like graduation, and seeing someone else like you, being able to look at each other and feel connected, be proud of each other for making it and happy to see their success.

The thing about Taxies is that drivers know how to get everywhere. Uber/Lyft drivers just follow maps and shrug when you need a location not explicitly marked.

It's the 250th anniversary of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. A local TV station mapped the route out with nods to past and present Boston-area landmarks, including all seven Dunkin' Donuts a modern-day Paul Revere could stop at:

Time to throw up a bat signal for a specific skillset for @skypeascientist.bsky.social We have a classroom that is looking for a scientist who can do a session with them in ASL. Do we know any scientists who would be willing to do a Q&A with a deaf classroom in ASL?

Okay friends, here's the deal. I made this 👇🏽 recipe with a few changes. 1) my two "cream of" soups were mushroom with garlic and cheese. 2) I used 5 chicken drumsticks (🤷🏽‍♀️) and 3) I used steelcut oatmeal instead of rice.

Everything is so fucking ridiculous. I'm always amazed by the people who want to just sit quietly and follow the directions, regardless of how asinine they are, as if that will protect them from anything bad happening.
