@gwen_nels @alta03 @AliceOllstein Sometimes being extremely literal (and intentionally missing the point of a comment) makes one sound like they’re on a different side than they are. And in this case the dr was referring to a viable pregnancy; folks with those often consider a fetus their “baby” for all 40 weeks.

Discussing animal diets with a 2.5 year old:
Me: what does a dog eat?
S: a squirrel’s baby?

Many prison cells will basically turn into deadly ovens this week, after Texas legislators chose to not fund A/C.

“I don't have love for these people,” a corrections officer told me. But “incarceration is their punishment, not cooking them to death.”

@elizmccracken I think I’m the opposite…definitely an extrovert but prefer to talk to strangers in public places as minimally as possible.

The 2.5 year old I watch just said “it’s blooming!” from the backseat when I asked what is blooming he pointed up at the sky and said “clouds. It’s blooming clouds.” And you know what? The clouds up there did look like a blooming tree

*Five hundred* people drowned trying to reach Europe last week and it was covered but my god contrasting it to the coverage of this Titanic submarine is just appalling to see, so much more focus, experts on, analysis and interest from the public. Certain lives are so cheap to us

@Solo82 @DaveFilice @SolarDwagon @doctorow What I got out of the thread is that amazon INTENTIONALLY has a business model that ensnares smaller businesses and chokes out their other options. And yes, consumers have been complicit. My beef with the company is primarily about predatory/inhumane employee conditions.

[Aleena @AleenaBeth]

@DaveFilice @SolarDwagon @doctorow I’m talking about the ethics (or lack thereof) of amazon. Your addiction would be irrelevant but if a chef was making billions of dollars off a restaurant while the other employees made poverty wages and food was sourced from slave labor, then yeah that’s exploitation.

@jamieloftusHELP This is my favorite library (and I like pretty much ALL libraries)!! Make sure you check out the rooftop patio!

Today my boss asked her 5yo what is going to happen if she has another meltdown while getting a cute hairstyle. Z said “Have to get an ugly one?” (Expected answer was definitely “no more hairstyles”)

Yesterday I told a 4yo that I’d rather be an explorer than a princess and she questioned whether I knew that Dora was the explorer (idk how she knew that- she doesn’t watch tv) and I got weirdly defensive about my Dora knowledge. Why am I like this?

The term “vegan leather” really is one of the best executed scams I’ve ever seen.

[Aleena @AleenaBeth]

@heyseyler1 @laurenthehough Yes! I have a great nanny job right now and the woman I work for owns a small business. I noticed a “we’re hiring!” sign in her shop window and thought “maybe I should get a job here” and then was like WAIT

@elizmccracken Probably the first piece of absurd school-related Texas legislation that actually might be in the kids’ best interest.
