The only book my ex-husband ever gave me was this, around the time of our divorce. I never read it. Just now looked up the synopsis. Had I realized his message to me in that “gift” was that I could never be free & should drown myself, I’d have been absolute living rage & hung him out to dry.

We soaked, and scrubbed lightly with a toothbrush. Rinse, repeat if needed. 🤞🖖

I used to teach a functional skills class. I brought in white cotton t-shirts. Each kid got to use assorted condiments to stain them. Then we experimented to see what did the best job of removing mustard, ketchup, jelly, choc sauce. The most consistent was dish soap & white vinegar on damp stain.

We need to know more about the top. What is the fabric and what color?

But that is not what got her fired. When will they learn?

Looks a lot like the imagery of SS in Schindler’s List.

I will never believe he was lawfully elected a second time.

And that actor is the absolute sweetest in person.

And those abs I accidentally touched during a photo opp with him…I am sorry to have done it, but I can confirm they are rock solid. 🤩

As Mariner said in the crossover episode, “I was unprepared for how hot young Spock would be.”

Kind of you to say. Thank you! I do agree: totally worth it.

Yep. All is well. I am jealous of your real gardening. As a teacher, I am just sowing seeds in a garden I will never get to see.

@vitdid.bsky.social Hey, my liberal af friend. You crossed my mind. Just want to say hi and hope your day is whatever you need it to be!

Um. That is not how the high school where I teach works.

I think those of us who are willing to get a ton of education for not commensurate pay would not stand for working so hard to make people ignorant.

Makes fodder for engagement though, if you’re into that.

…which is deposited in accounts in the middle east.

It would be a hoot if it weren’t so forking unbelievable. 🤬

I love Lower Decks, too. It is easy to disregard cartoons as what they are, less so for live characterizations we can imagine as ourselves or loved ones.

What if—and hear me out—middle- to old- aged men are not the target audience for this show? What if it is meant to pull in a new, younger audience, who will relate to the new and then explore the old? Keep the franchise going when you’re dead? Bring some new colors of hair to the cons?

Early 20s. Clearly it has been a long time since you have hung around with young people, and maybe cannot remember what it is like before the decision making part of the brain is solidified into a hard, whiney, get-off-my-TOS mentality.

Yeah, same. Just thought I’d share what I found when I tried to answer that question myself. I watch WHMS every winter break, sometimes on a loop. Ultimately the connections I made were immature, maybe dangerous posturing (tracks 1942/now) and potential for death (also tracks 1942/now).

I mean, I will never fetish shame anyone, but very suddenly there are a zillion furry posts and for every one I mute, 4 more pop up. What is actually happening?
