Imagine a complete crouched burial in sand; the highest part of skeleton are the knees. Cranium has fallen forward, there's a sea mammal pendant blank sitting on the back of the neck. 20cm horiz from the knee, below the level of the patella, is a plastic fishing line reel in-situ. Sand dunes, eh?

When I was 9 I rang a man about a horse and he laughed down the phone at me and I was crushed and humiliated. 40 years of phone anxiety since. Before that I got compliments from adults on my phone manners. He didn't need to be an arsehole about it.

I paid my student loan (a hefty $90k thanks to interest being applied from day one) and I would happily support a government paying off other people’s student loans. Just because I don’t benefit directly from the policy doesn’t mean it shouldn’t happen.

In 1914, Beatrice Blore Browne was 1st woman to drive a car up 1 in 3 gradient of Great Orme, Llandudno N #Wales, undertaking feat in Singer 10 car whilst 6 months pregnant. Not b. #OTD 26 Sep 1887 - the date on her amazing gravestone is incorrect. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatric...
Beatrice Blore Browne's winged wheel gravestone in St Tudno's church yard on Great Orme, Llandudno, North Wales. Inscription reads In loving memory of Beatrice Blore Browne (Bee) born September 26th 1887 died November 23rd 1921 "She feared naught but God". The birth date is wrong - it should be December 26th 1886. Her partner (they never married but she took his name by deedpoll) commissioned it & allegedly sent the bill to her relatives who he felt had not supported her after she had his baby out of wedlock. #WomenInSTEM #HistSTM #HistSTEM #Gravestones

I would LOVE to see tech bros’ guesstimates of what shares of the population do different types of labor. Part of the infatuation with AI has to be that they can’t really imagine what most people do all day

So one set of infant remains in the subterranean vault at Tuam, under a manhole, and probably not purposefully interred there. Not hundreds of babies dumped in a septic tank, as breathlessly reported. Many bodies from the known burial ground, from the mother and baby home period, and earlier.

The story of the bosses' revolt comes down to their experience, in 2020, of helplessly watching the labor-income line go up — and resolving, right then and there, to make sure that never happened again.

Ahahaha out of hospital, last minute dash to a jp, put 5 to bed and then he starts smiffling and sneezing, wake up at 2, throw up just a little bit at 3, and then a three hour drive to the airport at 4. Still, we got here well on time, and he can go meet his grandparents and go to legoland.

For those looking for love. Before our first date, I downloaded the missus' PhD from research gate, read it, then prepared three questions to ask. On the beach at Omaha, over strawberries and kombucha. There's a joke in there somewhere about the oral exam, but I am not making it.

“I am a mosaic of everyone I’ve ever loved…” 🥰
smokeinsilence:
have you ever noticed you pick up little habits and phrases from the people you love? it's no wonder our hearts are so easily broken when people leave. we become a reflection of the people that we care about and those personality traits stick with us even if the people don't
viridianmasquerade:
I make my ramen the way a friend taught me in eleventh grade.
Every fall, I listen to a playlist made for me by a boy I drove across a border to hook up with. I eat sushi because a girl who won't talk to me anymore made me try it, and Indian food because my best friend's parents ordered for me before I knew what I liked. There are movies I love because someone I loved loved them first. I am a mosaic of everyone l've ever loved, even for a heartbeat.

Ambo promised to bag up Angus's poops and leave it flaming on Luxon's doorstep if my arse fell off or something and I didnt make it. I said to leave it for Simeon, but she countered and said she would go straight for the top. She thought referring to him as a thumb (derogatory) was hilarious.
