absolutely would.

that looks like some very good puttering

Puttering is important. For the, you know, general sanity and all.

Neat!

Cool, dinosaur claw marks— ::puts on glasses:: cool, evergreens! 🌲 🦖

I guess it sells better than “glass/plate that occasionally might not shatter depending on angle and distance of fall.”

Manufacturer: "We do not claim this is shatterproof if you drop it."
Tiktok influencer: "This is so cool, it won't shatter even if you drop it."
Everybody: "The manufacturer says it won't shatter even if you drop it!"

I think she's saying "both" to the question "which do you like?". Regardless, I thought there was an unspoken turtleneck limit our society silently observed.

Pretty.

@williwaw ha!

Belle Époque Lilo & Stitch

A commitment to raising money for charity. That's lovely.
Also looks glorious

I'm glad he can treat the whole mess as a joke.
Who were the idiot couple in the front row doing their best to make it all about them?
Yes, I saw some of it.
Didn't pay anything to see it.
Saw very early how stupid it was and stopped watching.

True wisdom would be taking the money and running far away from this lifestyle completely, at least by my reckoning. No one ever does it, but why not? Take the bag and dip out for good.

NOICE.

I hate that I wonder if this is AI

Seems legit.

@3rdparty I know, but I'd never seen one before!

This reminds me to go watch the Panos Cosmatos episode of Cabinet of Curiosities again.

I may have mentioned this before here. Our family participated in an after school daycare cooperative with four other families for approximately nine years (kindergarten through 8th Grade). This was entirely the brain child of my spouse and two of the other parents. The story goes that they were standing around the sort of courtyard by the street waiting to pick up the kindergarteners and, being like-minded people during the Bush the Lesser Regime, struck conversation. They quickly came to an understanding that some of them had been at a, literally, adjacent day care the year before and remembered seeing each other at pick up there. Some one, and no one will admit to whom it was, suggested that each parent take a day to pick up ALL of the children and walk them home (Yes, we were that lucky. We all lived within a kilometer of the school). My spouse was the one who buttonholed the school secretaries for the appropriate and, imo, necessary paperwork to allow non-family members to retrieve the children from school at the end of the day. Four families participated but all five days of the week were covered because one of the families had twins and took two days of pickup.
I have long said that the joy of teaching Freshman is seeing them blossom and grow into young adults. I have taught middle school and high school in the US. And I have had the same sense of joy in watching these children grow into adulthood along with my own girls.
We have met and celebrated our successes and failures as parents (and now adults) for twenty-five years. Many have married, or will be soon. Several have their doctorates and are seeking their way in the world. Nora teaches in NYC and has recently made the leap from 4th to 6th Grade. We shared war stories this year and waxed philosophical about pedagogy psychology and all things teaching. Of all the things that I have helped created with other people in life, with the noted exception of my children, I am most proud of this cooperative Kinder Club.
Here’s to twenty-five more years of seeing us all grow, and love, and learn.

That's great

Wonderful. I'm at a party right now with former mom group families. We met when they had tiny babies. Now the oldest are in college. It's an unbeatable bond.

4th grade to 6th? Did she change schools as well? Most Elementary schools are K-5, and most middle schools are 6-8.

Love this!

@grantbarrett /full agreement
@dogwelder She did. New York State certification allows her to teach up to 6th. But she is in a charter school so….there are no rules.

@m3moellering good for her! I’ve taught every grade level, and middle school is my favorite.

How long will you be on the other side of the equator? Sounds delightful!

@samh I leave on the 9th, fly back on the 27th. I'm riding the Fin del Mundo route, giving myself 8-10 days to ride. 5 days in Punta Arenas, 1-3 in Ushaia, depending on how the ride goes. Should get to see some guanacas, penguins, and maybe some glaciers. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've spent the last two months mega over planning planning gear and not riding nearly enough. Wheeeeeeee

Torres del Paine?

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely not as funny but so relaxed and still on point.

Aspen, next week

I picture this as one skier, and all of their impact marks as they fell on the slope.

Open the pod bay doors, Jessica…

Had a rough few years getting my mother-in-law to trust that I wasn't a total dipshit, I was the swarthy american..first saw this plant in Costa Rica on vacation with my wife. This spikey beautiful sharp edged pointy plant has another common name - 'mother-in-law's tongue' and I thought it was a perfect name for it at that point.. Regardless, the old battleaxe and I ended up best pals and loved each other dearly.

@greenskpr ❤️

hell yeah let's keep getting weirder

May I ask why him specifically?

@BennyTheIcepick it’s an inside joke between us

@joshmillard it’s our only natural defense.

this made me suddenly laugh like a donkey, 5 stars

You've got this, Travis! Make 'em wait for it... boom.

I call this "Blue Steel"

That looks amazing! I'm surprised that you got a photo first!

Looks so good, bring a tear to your eye.

@snarkout lol!
