I’m holding off on buying another one for a hot minute, but that shouldn’t stop you from getting a tissue box that is also a volcano! I have two and I adore them.

We *know* how to solve most of our problems by now, and it’s often less expensive than letting them continue, but dudes like this benefit from the status quo, so…

So either we agree to surveillance or we leave our child open to identity fraud (and it’s probably both)

They’re providing the translation for the latest batch of emotional trigger phrases; their words never mean much beyond “good” “bad” “us” and “them”

I am now microwaving the pizza things in the hopes of getting something edible out of it (after burning the previous batch)

I’m sorry, but a pizza “cupcake” that requires ten minutes of oven time to cook, isn’t supposed to be microwaved, and burns before reaching the required internal temp, and which my child won’t eat, is NOT the functional equivalent of a chicken bun that’s ready after 60 seconds in the microwave

I don’t understand it either We missed the window more than we’d like when kiddo was small and it was always embarrassing and awful having to push home a stroller of exhausted screaming baby

A core memory of my childhood is sitting in the back of my Grandma Rice’s car as she went from house to house, organizing as a poll worker for the August elections in Clayton County, Georgia. I learned from here: vote early if you can, so you observe or organize to GOTV on the day of the election.

Even better, she learned of the error because she let her child play with a version of the simulation first

a big difference between me in 2026 and me in 2006 is i no longer believe democrats are just helpless little guys buffeted by forces beyond their control. decades of writing about this stuff makes it clear: while dems face very evil people, the party is complicit in not fighting.

There’s a strong throughline between hastily ending government support for covid mitigations before people started taking them for granted, and the ongoing suspicion and hostility directed towards Mamdani Government CAN help people—for free, even—but they don’t want it to

Now’s a good time for visiting cemeteries in early evening — while you still can. St. Boniface and Calvary will start closing earlier (5 instead of 7 p.m.) after Oct. 15. And I’m told Graceland will start closing earlier (4 instead of 6 p.m.) after Oct. 22.

This reminds me of a recent conversation I had with @alexhanna.bsky.social about AI and workers, in which Hanna noted that bosses tend to think most feminized work can be automated because they imagine the work as reduced to the task itself and forget the necessary relational aspects.

And you are teaching the baby that you care for them, that they deserve your time and attention, that you enjoy their company, that they are a person and not a series of tedious tasks and obligations

These dudes are so, so painfully averse to their own humanity and human bodies and it’s horrifying that this is treated as valuable behavior instead of illness

Over time, women have demanded that men both step up to do more of the caregiving and step aside to make room for women in "profitable" jobs. But what hasn't changed is the underlying incentive structure of financial capitalism and its devaluation of "unprofitable" labor like care.
