I yell about reproductive justice, software engineering leadership, knitting, figure skating and costuming, trans rights, mandolins, Atlanta and Mississippi things, harps, and my kids and dog.

They can wear jumpsuits, you just don’t see them often because floaty skirts are graceful. But they are great when they are well-done.
You can’t wear shorts in singles competition, though.

The Russian skater has worn a jumpsuit with a blazer for her Michael Jackson short program.

My ovary exploded due to a torsion (thanks to endo), but only the surgeons get to appreciate those kind of things properly!

This seems so straightforward. If we had mandatory voting with ranked choice and no write-in, would you have ranked Harris and literally every other Democrat above Trump?

Because that’s basically what the whole system boils down to.

My ortho whenever I come in: “it’s her! Go get all the students!” “Now, as you all know, thumbs aren’t supposed to do THAT…”

Then he has me do the Beighton scale, show off skin laxity and translucency, and recite my orthopedic history. Which takes a hot minute, but I don’t mind.

The From New Jersey one recently described the Alt one as “keeping the hoes on their toes”… at an official USFS press conference at Nationals after the short program.

William Augustus Atlee - Wikipedia

I suggest we do historical reenactments! I even have a character in mind: my ancestor who was on one of the PA Committees of Safety. They called him “Savage Atlee”, and contra Wikipedia, it was not just for his burning patriotic views! Family lore says tar/feathers.

Team Skating is really good tomorrow though! It’s the men’s short, and Ilia Malinin of the USA is as unique a talent as Simone Biles or Serena Williams. That and the free dance will be key for determining if USA takes gold or falls behind Japan.

Figure skater Amber Glenn poses with a Pride flag after winning the 2026 US National Championships

This is US National figure skating champion Amber Glenn, who is openly queer. Silver medalist and reigning World Champion Alysa Liu is the daughter of an immigrant and uses she/they pronouns.

Both are likely medal contenders.

The bit that put me over the edge was remembering the hat and backpack. You know that baby slept in his little hat last night.

I hope Amber Glenn and Alysa Liu mock them until they shrivel into dust.

Personally, my money is on the women’s figure skating team to be doing the intimidating. They are openly queer, children of immigrants, outspoken liberals, and bankrupt of fucks.

Obviously these people have never run concessions for any form of high school athletic competition or theatre performance or neighborhood swim meet. A whole lot of moms know exactly how to do this kind of logistics.

This requires a bit less organization than running the snack table for my kid’s high school swim meets. It’s stocked similarly, but you also have to place and pick up the Jimmy John’s order.

Fencing competition concessions are much more complex because you have to run the Square and do Venmo.

The delightful thing about this is that at least 2/3 of the current US women’s figure skating Olympians would likely be keen to do the on-ice work for this. Amber Glenn is openly queer, and Alysa Liu (she/they) has never had even a single solitary fuck to give and would do it purely for the vibes.

r/laundry showed me the magic of a detergent with lipase and of washing in warm water instead of cold like I had always been taught. It’s a cult and I am not sorry

Unsure if I can claim the Pearl as my home river when I grew up on the shores of the Real Big Racist Reservoir….

And also to non-Jews! Beth Israel Preschool served the community for many years. I went to preschool there myself, and would have sent my children if they’d had openings. My kids went to Trinity at CUMC right next door, and Beth Israel was always welcoming for assemblies and activities.

Oh, that’s so sad. I went to preschool there.

Amber Glenn wearing her gold medal after winning the US National Championship Women’s Singles Competition. She is dressed in a black short sequined gown and proudly holding a progress pride flag behind her. There is a gaggle of photographers in front of her.

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

GPUs don’t simply plug themselves directly into wall sockets. They need racks, chassis, cooling systems, network cards, power supplies, etc.

Who is supplying those? Do those companies’ sales figures support the idea that these GPUs are actually bound for racks in the near term?

I suspect many of these guys are also personally close to Mike Pence, whose own moral clarity may be exerting a positive influence.

I don’t think the Mississippi GOP would be quite as forthright.

I have poodles, and what never ceases to surprise me is the resilience of their vocal cords. If I screamed as loudly and as often as they do, I would wear my larynx completely out.

Small kids are actually a lot easier in some ways, bc they don’t take up as much room and have as many logistics. But by the time they’re 12, you’re essentially talking about food and housing for 4-5 adults. If you wouldn’t like having that many roommates, you’re not gonna like kids either.

I’m coming out of the other side of having 3 kids, with 19yos now in college just a 17yo at home. It’s been kind of jarring to realize what the absence of the lifestyle load looks like. The enormous grocery runs to feed 3 teens! The space required to house them and all their sports gear!
