The tawdry commercialization of that most sublime of human connections, the true and pure love of parents and their children, and the forced laughter of the real patrons paid for their testimonials, that is shoved down my ears with every Chick-fil-a radio commercial makes me want to shove a white-hot needle into my ears.

So the school district has scheduled the orientations for the gifted & talented program, theater, and football all the same time. Like heaven forfend you have a kid in multiple things or, I don’t know, more than one child.

I love Bubbies pickles. They're naturally fermented (no vinegar). They're crunchy (unlike when I make them at home), they're perfectly seasoned and spiced, and it's super convenient to buy them.

But they've gone from being $8 a jar, to $12 a jar, to now $17.50 CAD a jar at the supermarket.

$18 for a jar of pickles is a lot of money when regular pickles cost about $9 a jar...

If I had the room here, I'd start fermenting my own, or at least I'd make the cheaper/easier refrigerator pickles- it's hard to find half-sours here in the Vancouver area.

There's a strict word limit on this grad school final, and I don't think I've done this much greening since undergrad. Down to 450 words from 790, and it still says basically all the same things!

To whom do I complain about Whatever Is Going On with regard to plants/weather/allergens? Because I had a headache on Sunday, and now I'm at the point where my nose is raw from blowing it and sneezing. This is Not Reasonable! 🤧

Hey, @nowthis ! Aren't you the Chair of the Committee to Prevent This Kind of Thing? Get on it! 😆 😜

Wow, this textbook for my online course really recreates the experience of listening to a professor in person!

… in that it’s gotten sidetracked and veered wildly off topic

My records management textbook (2018) keeps offhandedly reference the blockchain as an emerging technology of interest for the field.

I'm deeply confused why it thinks a technology that is necessarily public, distributed, and immutable would be attractive to people whose jobs largely involve managing sensitive information and ensuring that most of it eventually gets discarded 🙄
