Went to two high school acedemic program presentations over the past week and the better of them took @bluefacedbeast note to EAT THE MIC, its not a magic talky stick.

The other one was waving it like a magic wand.

Guess which program LittlerLadyHosk wants to apply to:

The one she could hear that gave a good explanation of the program, or the one that pointed at people in the crowd with a mic while showing slides that were literally the schools website while explaining "we should update that"

A high schooler from the local Catholic high school just came by and wanted to talk about abortion.

I think I broke his brain with:

"An Acorn has everything it needs to grow into a oak tree but time, but its not a tree even if its sprouts right?"

"Catholics get Abortions at the same rate as non-Christian, they just justify it and go to confession. When your Mom or Aunt, Sister, and cousin went on that girls weekend, then came home and laid in bed for 2 days." (he looked like he was rebooting)

Littlehosk:non-binary falls under the trans umbrella but each person can decide if they want to call themselves trans.

LittlestLadyHosk:if a big rainstorm comes all the trans and non-binary people huddle under one umbrella?

LittlerLadyHosk: some of us cis people wave from inside the building after helping set up the umbrella.

Me:what a appropriate metaphor you have all crafted

Littlest: can cis people be under the umbrella?

Little: you don’t want to our umbrella sucks and is full of holes.

LittleHosk: Dad, Im concerned about the potential move. Do people play D&D in Canada?

Me:

FRACK ME!

Its time to renew my drivers license, I got a letter in the mail that says "Save the stamp and do this renewal online instead"

There is a $5 convenience fee for doing it online.

Its a $18 renewal charge, and to save the 50 cents on a stamp... I should pay $5. Cool cool cool.
