@joelmgarland “We must pray the other teenagers of Sherwood, Ohio, know the name of that righteous dude who can solve their problems: it’s Jesus Christ, and he’s in the Book.”

@aotearoa_ben Yikes. Of all the ways to make ourselves known 🙄

@ScootFoundation …and close them at midnight. Re: fare evasion, you can enter DC metro without enough money but not leave, so this is hardly surprising.

for all Washington Metro's faults, these stations are a great example of cost control in transit infrastructure: design a small handful of stations, copy paste them through the network -- allowing contractors to build up expertise through standardisation.

@strawberryMae Heh. She said she was literally bushy-tailed. Dumbass.

so many thoughts. what an ad for mount holyoke. who has never heard of the patriarchy at age 20? the patriarchy doesn't exist because a rich girl didn't feel oppressed. you're not inclusive if you don't welcome fascists. nypost.com/2022/11/26/mou…

@strawberryMae @joelmgarland I’m probably just giving up on social media once this site breaks. Been nice seeing you both now and then 🙂 Soon you’ll just have to come to NZ if you want to see me

@joelmgarland seems pretty unusable to me

@_rshapiro Yeah, been nice seeing you now and then! Once this site breaks, I’m transferring to nowhere because I can’t really handle social media. So you’ll just have to come to NZ if you want to see me 🙂

@nzdodo My Cat Likes To Hide In Boxes

@Oatmeal Postpartum hormones can really destroy a sense of humour, eh

No matter how many times I call our newborn Homelander when he’s hungry, my wife refuses to laugh

@aotearoa_ben Hmmmmmm. If this is a crisis, it’s of Twitter/Elon’s own making, which seems relevant.

@Askewone Still remember walking into the lounge - after like 20 seconds!!! - to find my 2 year old atop a stepladder, live power cord in one hand and a raw red onion in the other (juice streaming down her grinning cheeks) 😍

Man, everyone tells you how full on it is once your toddler gets mobile & as watchful as I am it’s wild what my daughter can achieve in a fraction of a second! Breakfast everywhere, turning the oven on, turning the fan on, racing towards every power socket!

@strawberryMae But check out these stats! Trying to stay par 3 is fun 🙂

i am mostly doing the vulture crossword these days which goes by surprisingly quick, because the clues are about things you actually care about

a while back i figured out something about wordle that took all the fun out cause it guaranteed a win. 6 rows of 5. and how many letters in the alphabet? everytime i type in the 4 same words leaving out only 6 weirdo letters like x and q. now it's an obvious anagram. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@publicaddress As someone who struggled to get diagnosed, finally did, and benefits greatly from treatment …this looks like compassion to me

This looks complex. Yes, the rules are the rules and there is certainly a risk of drug diversion. But Dr Hanne has acknowledged expertise in managing ADHD and it's not so easy for everyone to get a specialist to diagnose them.

@neilhimself But that was a great mental image of you plucking tweets from the air like fireflies, then entering Twitter, armed with your feral, captured tweets

*when* I go on to Twitter. Not then.

And remember, I get thousands of tweets a day, and don't try to read them all. I catch the ones in front of me then I go on Twitter, and that's all.

@Askewone Yep. Pretty insane people do it on their own, aye?

Yesterday was the first day in ages I felt on top of our routine. House clean, cooked our meals, baby napped twice each day & I got to work on a new sketch in the evenings!

Honestly, respect to all the stay home parents - being in this role you have to be prepared to put even the most basic level of self care very last. During the last 10 months I’ve been lucky to get time to shower, eat, shave, get a haircut, exercise with any consistency 😂

@publicaddress My boy has a diagnosis and we are at a stable place with school, but trying to …remediate him up to the level he should be at academically. But it feels a little pointless given we can all see how smart he is, we just can’t measure it 🤷‍♀️

ASD son that we had to withdraw from school aged 12 just scored another A+ in his Media Design School course. Last time, it was a digitally-animated short film, this time a game prototype. Things can get better.

@aotearoa_ben TIL: earthworms aren’t native to North America 🤯 …but sorry, yes, they are nightmare fuel, no question.

@scottmccloud Onion transition

@mikeforbes I mean… probably on an individual level 🤷‍♀️

@publicaddress You and I both know he’s just gotta wait it out 😬

PS: Please make the tripping lion happy.

I have some news: they're having me back at the op shop! I'll be running things from 10am-2pm tomorrow out the back of the St Luke's church hall, 704 New North Road. The shop has books, games, clothes, etc, very cheap. And we'd like your quality old stuff.

Did you know there are several versions of the famous “I Want To Believe” poster from The X-Files? Here’s a thread breaking down the history of the poster and some of the behind-the-scenes and in-show explanations for all these changes!
