What’s the skunk to water balloon ratio for this operation?

On principle I only teach in their car, but made an exception for my friend’s husband since he wanted to rent a manual overseas. I learned my lesson, he didn’t

Also happened to me at an indigo girls concert

There are a lot of these jets going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen

The restraining order means nothing to the supreme court, also.

“Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748 (2005), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled, 7–2, that a town and its police department could not be sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for refusing to enforce a restraining order, even though the refusal led to the murders of a woman’s three children by her estranged husband.”

Last time I crossed back into the US from Canada the agent gave my friend shit because she didn’t have a physical receipt for the purchase she made and couldn’t prove it was worth less than the threshold. Even though I live in a border city I rarely cross because the agents are such assholes

A couple friends and I have a “do not buy” spreadsheet with all our shared tools and equipment. If none of us have it a local lending library probably does

Is there only one person in the world who writes all thrift store price tags? It’s always the same handwriting

There’s a lyric in a Why? song Only those evil live to see their own likeness in stone.

Wait, but

Or they take the opportunity to reintroduce red lining

That makes sense. It seems the expressions are often tied to the music —raised eyebrows when playing a high note, something like surprise when hitting cymbals, scrunching when it’s nasty. So maybe involuntary but relative expressions from concentration and focus?

I was initially going to call it guitar face, but drummers make some wild expressions too. Though as a listener, I will also sometimes involuntarily make them too. Seems most of us aren’t immune.

I’ve noticed women on bumble do this. Put moderate as their political affiliation, and list black lives matter and LGBTQ+ and such as their causes. Before this post I would think “elected moderates aren’t doing anything for your causes at best,” but my perspective as I swipe left on them anyway is a little different now

Those contacts can be compared to a broken taillight or stop and frisk—it’s an opportunity to probe deeper and find anything at all to justify further surveillance and actions taken against families who are often impoverished and the hard life that creates.

Also black families are over-policed, and their kids more likely to be put into foster care “National estimates suggest that 53% of Black children will experience CPS contact by age 18, as compared to 28% of White children” “We consider that, at their root, these inequities are the consequence of systemic racism: there is no inherent relationship between race and child maltreatment. Rather, race is a proxy for the societal and institutional privileges and oppressions people experience because of their membership in a racialized group” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9325927/

Movement for Family Power is a great advocacy organization if you want to get involved https://www.movementforfamilypower.org/

Hegseth is now saying it didn’t actually happen, matching their incompetence with dishonesty, the tone of this “merit based” administration

Jim Brown was a prominent civil rights activist though, so not an unfortunate mixup

Hm, it seems eggs stick to stainless steel pans particularly well, in case anyone finds that useful

I use Bob’s red mill egg replacer for baking by default to save my eggs for breakfast, and tho I’ve never done a one-to-one comparison, it has always satisfied my baking needs.
