Honestly just the idea of getting 70 linocuts as clean as that one is after printing makes me want to lay down in a field, let alone EVERY OTHER STEP.

& it's FINE for the mother to not be a sympathetic character! It's FINE for the teen bullies not to be! We are surrounded by UNsympathetic characters, even & especially as kids. Books have VILLAINS. Carrie was emotionally tortured. If you're not comfy portraying that, adapt a different book.

Sometimes I randomly think about the thieves who stole his 1938 Superman comic & wish them so much ill.

Popped on just to see if you had posted. Really glad to see you guys have a bunch of work ahead of you but are all okay ❤️ I list hurricanes/tornados as one of my greatest fears & I live in Washington! I dunno how I'd handle it if I lived where we had either.

The skilled mechanics teach people maintenance skills. I bake birthday cakes for those who don't have family who celebrate them. We get people signed up to vote & for social services. I'm so proud! (If anybody would like to donate to these kids, every dollar is a BFD! account.venmo.com/u/CaseHart )
A square image with several photos of people working on cars in all weather & a trans flag. The banner read "Gridlock Donate to support our mutual aid car club!" & the bottom reads "$30 funds an oil change
$50 funds a brake service
$150 funds an engine hoist
$150-200 funds a replacement tire for someone who can't afford it"

My kid runs a trans mutual aid car repair club in our garage! Every month a group of 12-18 young adults, many of whom have fled to WA state & depend heavily on their cars for work or a place to sleep, sign up for everything from detailing or oil changes to new brakes! It is SUCH a lifeline! ♥️

I've been wanting to start a subreddit for pics of men who are at important events with exquisitely dressed women & still have the creases from the Amazon warehouse in their shirts because they couldn't even bother to wash them, let alone iron them, and this dude definitely gets to be in there.

Do you have a carbon monoxide alarm & does it have good batteries in it? I've had two friends whose whole families were hospitalized from construction related carbon monoxide in their apartments.

At no time has it been more difficult & important to learn to find, test & cite quality sources than since the make up an answer machine has been created. That's where I would want kids' energy to be spent.

This is so good. On kids "being left behind" if they don't learn to use AI now: "When/if genAI is ever a viable product, what we're "learning" today will be irrelevant. Better to understand a book and learn math."

But in trying to look up how many calls he made, I realized I was mixing up 3 different news stories about different young men getting caught doing this dozens to hundreds of times.

There was some young guy in California who finally got busted after swatting hundreds of schools, for cash. He even did it to his own house. He hit enough schools here they stopped doing full evacuations if it matched the pattern. Safe story to read, no deaths arstechnica.com/security/202...

Serial “swatter” behind 375 violent hoaxes targeted his own home to look like a victim
He now faces four years in federal prison.

And nobody chose their parents. My kids didn't. My husband didn't. They're not lesser because their parents weren't the same race. The idea that they are worth making fun of, or worse, is heartbreaking. Thank you both for saying what you've said.

There's a political ad on repeat here where a woman introduces herself as an RN that "doesn't dooo politics" Are you not in a union? Are you not in a job heavily influenced by politics? Are your patients not suffering from choices made in the political arena? Every time the ad plays I'm hollering

Haha I got one that I need to delete emails in my old 2006 college email account or they'll have to start deleting. Somehow managed to log in, twenty years of a list they didn't let me unsubscribe from! Yeah, I bet it's full! Sad about all the free food they tried to alert me to, though...

"Is bad at judging how often they'll need things" LOL yup. I'm never going to let them ship me a subscription item early if I don't need it. They're totally off-base for me elsewhere, because I only use Amazon to ship gifts to family back home. Items w/shipping are cheaper than USPS shipping now.

Thanks! I thought I had missed something huge even though I'm pretty well versed in the racism, fat shaming, the misogyny etc in the books
