翻訳機能でテキサス州が大好きになった知人が「テキサスを満喫したい！今年の夏は1週間テキサスに行く！テキサスを全部回れる？」と言ってきたのでこの画像を送って「赤枠がテキサス州だ」と伝えてから返事がない。テキサスの人は良い機会なので見どころを端的に教えてほしい。広すぎる。

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

@TravisTsunami @KylePlantEmoji Even my 12 year old daughter has had 2 rounds of physical therapy from actively training for 4 years lol what are you talking about. Being active almost guarantees injuries.

@KylePlantEmoji I played football and baseball. 90% of the people I played with don’t have any issues. I can throw anecdotal evidence around too, but it’s a terribly way to get your point across

Being in your thirties is fun because you might not have The Problem yet, but you have a pretty good feeling about what The Problem is going to be

@onapittance Indeed! Dog Man series was released 10 years ago 😉

@bluebayoubb Very cool – albeit I’m teaching first university students

Really dawned on me teaching today that half of my students actually just don’t know how to read

@onapittance My daughter saw that Dog Man font and was basically like “wtf am I even looking at? I can’t read this?”. Anyways like I said, we’ve created an environment that’s made reading really f$ckin weird and hard for no reason. And now no one can read.

@onapittance Last thing: my daughter’s dyslexia tutor taught her how to write/read cursive bc physically connecting the letters helps her blend sounds. It’s also easy for ppl with dyslexia to see the word as a whole, not separate characters. But Dog Man books were all over her school

@onapittance Not really sure what my point is lol. But I think we’ve created an environment where its hard to read. The light from laptops, the fact that the screen is upright so you’re distracted by surroundings instead of head down in a book. All these weird ass fonts used on worksheets etc

@onapittance My 6th grader: super dyslexic. She hates reading on the comp. I think there’s something about the pixels/light that distort text. My 2nd grader: fantastic reader. I got her a Nancy Drew book. She said “I love these books bc the pages are cream and not white, way easier to see”

@Tyre_94 Fear and Fridays 🔥

He keep talking like this ima have to give his music a spin

@tenshinoouji My dyslexic daughter trying to say “coach Rodriguez”

that’s it you’re going on the list

Letter from Lee Rogers, Chief of Podiatry at the University of Texas Health San Antonio. Says measles outbreak at Dilley "has the potential to quickly overwhelm local health resources." Demands establishment of "public health incident command immediately" at Dilley. 1/2

@LRNROSE Me: crying, stressed, finding out I was pregnant while working retail and living in a 1 bedroom apartment with 2 pit bulls, asking my mom what I should do My mom: you know, there’s never really a *good* time to have a baby

i just will never understand getting pregnant at a time that you know you shouldnt be pregnant? people will not be pregnant for yrs and then get pregnant during nursing school. i just do not get it.

@littlebillie @nippyforever @joepohlen @nkhare A morning nanny is a *convenience*, a luxury. There’s a reason hotel maids are paid less per hour than any housekeeper you hire to clean your home. It’s an optional, premium service. Oil companies hire criminals and felons with GEDs to work on their fields.

@littlebillie @nippyforever @joepohlen @nkhare Is this supposed to be some kind of “gotcha”? On top of that hourly rate, oil field workers receive medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance. For remote areas they get onsite housing and meals. Paid vacation time, bonuses. 401ks and pension plans.

Morning nanny has been a game changer for us. We hired someone who comes over for two hours each morning. They empty the dishwasher, feed the pets, let the dog out, make the kid’s lunch, set up breakfast, and turn on the coffee maker. $350 a week.

@littlebillie @nippyforever @joepohlen @nkhare You’re definitely from a state with a small population and a small economy. The United States is a big country babe. $35/hour might sound outrageous to you, but for some of us that’s a reasonable rate for that level of convenience. Have a great 2026! ✌🏼

@nippyforever @bluebayoubb @joepohlen @nkhare It’s giving 😂

@nippyforever @littlebillie @joepohlen @nkhare Of course they have responsibilities. I just don’t think 2nd graders that have to wake up before the sun to get to school on time should also have to cook their own breakfast :)

@bluebayoubb @littlebillie @joepohlen @nkhare Yeah teaching them responsibility and putting confidence in them to contribute to the family would be awful

@littlebillie @joepohlen @nkhare “emptying a dishwasher” lol It’s the cost of trusting your kid is safe w/ the person watching them, cooking for them, driving them to school. And on top of that, taking care of your dog and doing housekeeping. It’s the cost of convenience and peace of mind.

@bluebayoubb @joepohlen @nkhare It’s emptying a dishwasher do you think that is heavy blue collar work or what

@littlebillie @joepohlen @nkhare Not sure where you live but $35/hour for a short 2 hour job is not a lot…

@bluebayoubb @joepohlen @nkhare You are welcome to let someone sucker you into paying them $35 bucks an hour no one’s stopping you 😂

@littlebillie @joepohlen @nkhare I would never ask my 8 year old to make themselves breakfast and do pet chores before school lol??

@joepohlen @nkhare Ok so old enough to feed the dog and make their own breakfast.
