19 days agoI’ve been watching Murder She Wrote and each episode has a “this time on Murder She Wrote” at the beginning that is kind of a convoluted spoiler for the episode. I don’t know who would want that, especially on a mystery show.

The Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic is in New Mexico, where abortion is legal at all stages of pregnancy. The new one, the Right to Your Life Clinic is in Virginia, where it is legal in the first two trimesters.
It’s been on my mind lately because of some Trumper relatives who are currently screaming about how “Kamala Harris is a slut.”
She dated Willie Brown for a year, just before he was mayor of San Francisco in 1994. He had been separated from his wife for twelve years at that point, and she was also single when they met and started dating. Even so, the Fox News crowd is enjoying the refrain “She stole a black woman’s husband!!” (predatory promiscuity)
They also parrot the phrase “She slept her way to the top.” She was already an assistant district attorney when they met. He was the speaker of the California State Assembly and was known for handing out high paying state appointments to his friends. He appointed her to two boards- the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission, consecutively. Both paid well and gave her experience and connections in politics/public service, which may have helped her when she ran for and won the elected position of District Attorney fifteen years later, but certainly did not guarantee her the job.
But any excuse to be publicly racists and diminish the accomplishments of a Black woman while sexually shaming her get pounced on with enthusiasm.

Much has changed since then. She sponsored a comprehensive federal legalization bill in the Senate, and she’s called for ending prohibition altogether as recently as this March, at a roundtable event with pardon recipients where she also called on the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to quickly reschedule cannabis, as the Justice Department has since formally proposed.
If elected, Harris would become the first president who openly supports marijuana legalization. And the list of potential running mates that she’s reportedly considering also includes a majority who share that position, as well as some who have signed legalization into law in their state.
While Harris has a complicated history with cannabis policy, she has come out in full support of legalization in recent years, sharing that “the War on Drugs was an abject failure. It’s time to legalize marijuana and bring justice to people of color harmed by failed drug policies.”
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.
Journaling and mindfulness meditation help with this and are free (except the cost of a journal if you get a physical one).
5·2 months agoYou 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.
Water flossing! It’s like a bidet for your teeth.
I’m so sorry. I hope your life is happy now.
I liked it. That being said, there weren’t a lot of options in the 90s. It was 4pm on a Tuesday and your homework was done and you wanted to watch TV, there were like three options at best, unless you wanted to see Judge Judy or Dr. Phil, which I did not.
As a person who has only ever used a bidet as an attachment to the regular toilet- Does one pull up one’s pants before changing stations, or do you waddle over with your pants around your ankles?
- Cheese quesadilla and a blackberry yerba mate
- Water
- Quarter pounder with cheese, small fries, water.

Edit: Midnight meal was another quesadilla, this time with chicken.

I know it’s a joke, but this is actually the reason. Humans are shit at protecting themselves alone. This goes for weather, predators, accidents. If you’re alone you have a much lower chance of survival.
People with a naturally higher desire to fit in/fear of being shunned or cast out of the safety of the group survived and produced offspring at a higher rate.
It doesn’t serve in quite the same way anymore, you aren’t going to die because of a social faux pas, but your brain will still wake you up at 3am to scream at you that you absolutely will.

He was a server in a black waistcoat, white shirt. He was brushing the ball off the table before setting plates down.
It was a ball from a kid’s ball pit, so a little bigger than a baseball, smaller than a softball.
The table was round, with a red gingham table cloth.
The orange ball on the red gingham table cloth were there immediately, once instructed to visualize a person pushing it, it only made sense that it was a server, since the table seemed restauranty.
