Someone is of the opinion that the dental crunchies should’ve been served at an hour ago, and that it is also bedtime and no one is moving towards the bedroom.
Orange and white cat, stretched out on the chair mat, stares at the camera.

Apparently, he thinks the story of the radium girls is essentially a hoax…

Leah McElrath: the most dangerous type of man is one with above-average but not genius intelligence who was told growing up that he was a very special boy. Many such cases. 

Girls are socialized to engage in self-doubt. Boys generally do not benefit from that containment mechanism for ignorant over confidence. Once you see the dynamic, you cannot see it.

This may look like adoration to some, but really it is that he feels he was shorted on dinner. Because he was.

I spent my first seven years in New Jersey and Virginia, and the rest in Washington state (probably why I use some words interchangeably — soda and pop) I did the short test, and then I did the long test because of the answer to the short test…

According to four people involved in the show, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of repercussions from the administration, no historians or professional curators collaborated on the exhibition, which also features artworks by friends of the planners, and by two artists who are affiliated with a nonprofit, the American Arts Conservancy, that helped organize the show. Several museum experts said they worried that officials had ignored ethics rules meant to safeguard institutions from political influence and conflicts of interest.
