Clackety clackety swishety clack. Every time there is a breeze.

So you’re saying that… video killed the radio star…?

Redfin has been doing this for a while. It’s like “Oh wow! That amazing property is wildly within my price range! …oh… 100% chance of flooding in the next 30 years… but only 9% chance of wildfire! I like those odds!”

I was just pointing out that this is the reason tons of people in the US don’t want universal health care. They don’t want the government deciding what health care they receive, just like you don’t want them deciding what your children eat. And they don’t want their taxes paying for something that someone else receives.

You’re both being… short sighted, shall we say.

LOL. The Canadian who gets government funded health care for all is being persnickety about hungry children getting government funded lunch in another country.

Two teachers at my high school got married and both of them changed their full names. They chose a last name to share- after a saint they both resonated with, and each chose new first and middle names. They felt it marked the new chapter in their lives, that as they became one, they were both new people. They were both the young, cute, cool teachers that everyone had crushes on so we all thought it was super creative and cool.

Aborty McAbortface is another personal favorite.

I used to know someone who drove one almost like this. It was a RAV4 though. He was a swole short stack with bouncy blond curls who was always laughing and flirting and the car fit his personality to a T.

If you’re ever feeling too confident in your appearance, go through the Target self check and watch yourself on the screen. I’m a pretty normal looking person, but goddamn… not at the Target self check. Maybe people steal less when they feel bad about themselves…?

Cognitive behavioral therapy workbooks work almost as well without a therapist as with one. You just have to have the self discipline to actually do it.

Like how KFC is associated with American Christmas in Japan?

Anyone else delete Duolingo yesterday when the owl suddenly looked sick and haggard with snot coming out of his nose? It was odd the first time when they just made him haggard, this was gross and annoying. I need a new language app.

Pizza was the coveted flavor because kids = love pizza. But it was so bad. And you had to convince yourself that the rectangle of cardboard “crust”, the cold sauce packet and unmelted shredded cheese product were just absolutely making your day, because this is a treat. I will enjoy this. My friends are envious. Today is a good day.

Gestation? They will birth the peanuts?

Deer will MONCH on some bird nests full of eggs and babies. Also on adult birds if they are injured or caught on something.

Fucking deer. Get out of my roses.

There is no ink involved, the spores make the print.

You get 8, evenly spaced holidays per year and they have nothing to do with Blue Eyed Jesus OR capitalism!! And they work just fine if you’re an atheist, you can just celebrate the Earth’s relative position to the sun.

Add the full moons and you’re never far from a holiday.

I’ve started using the Celtic calendar to mark the seasons. I don’t have kids or a summer break, so it just helps avoid frustration at the weather. It fits better with the seasons where I live. It puts the solstices and equinoxes as the “peak” of the season instead of the beginning of the season like US calendars do. This is closer to how the weather works where I live in California.

Summer starts in the beginning of May (Beltane/May Day), peaks in June on the longest day of the year (Midsummer/Litha/Summer Solstice) and ends in the beginning of August (Lughnasadh/Lamas/First Harvest).

This also means that Christmas/Winter Solstice/Yule is peak winter, not the “first day of winter” which always seemed stupid to me, and Halloween is the closing of Fall.

Ew.
