I’m at @[email protected], but I hope that Twitter survives, because it’ll never be the same. If not, then….”You know that place between sleep and awake, that place where you still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting.”
@tombrewsports@Jaberuski I know someone whose work is performed in airports. On a trip to one particular country, they flew into airport, spent all day in meetings and inspections , and flew home. Never set foot outside airport. But it counted as a “work day” for that country’s visa purposes, so yes.
@UK_Daniel_Card Starbucks is disgusting but last time I was so desperate I had to go there once. Actually I think the little vegan restaurant had decent coffee but of course they didn’t have real creamer. 🤔
@Hamultonne@CarolWalshReal1@emzanotti Obviously not O. Henry stories, which is a shame. They’re short, easy to read, often have surprise endings - and might be enlightening to those who believe that “all” earlier generations had it easier than they do.
@sulmoney Exactly - ER staff didn’t know us and it was good to know they were making sure he wasn’t being abused or neglected. And yes, he’s fine now, thank you - it was a long time ago.
@sulmoney Took a child to the ER with bad facial cuts after a bike accident. Later he said “They must not have been listening to my dad when he told them what happened, because when you were all gone they asked me again.” We understood exactly why he was asked again and were glad they did.
@jasonc_nc For weeks or even months with a new mom to help out (even with “non-working�� new moms) which would be a huge help for most new parents. But I don’t ever recall and haven’t heard of it being typical for grandparents to watch grandkids 40 hours/week on an ongoing basis? 4/4
@jasonc_nc And women in Silent Generation before that often never worked again after marriage and/or children. So when did grandparents frequently watch grandkids on a regular daily basis? I do remember that it was very common for non-working moms or sisters to come stay …. 3/?
"Calm down. He won't be that bad."
"He won't go after political opponents."
"He won't try to overturn an election."
"He won't start a stupid, costly war."
"He won't purge the military."
"He won't use nukes." <--- We're currently here.
@vxunderground Also people trying to learn will remember who was supportive and encouraging, and who was not or was an arrogant jerk. And some of those “wannabes��� are going to be your peers sooner than you might think - and they WILL remember, for good or bad.
I, Michelle Lujan Grisham, Governor of the State of New Mexico, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the State of New Mexico do hereby ORDER and DIRECT as follows:
@footprintsfh@ls_freda@DisaffectedPod Years ago while preparing for my son’s goldfish’s funeral/burial, Goldie was carefully laid out in her paper box casket, lined with blue tissue paper - but we realized the cats were displaying an unseemly interest so Goldie had to temporarily go in the fridge for safety. 🤣
We are heartbroken to learn that Declan Coady—a well-loved and highly dedicated Drake University student studying information systems, cybersecurity, and computer science—was confirmed to be among the six U.S. service members killed in Kuwait on Sunday. He has bravely served in the U.S. Army Reserves since 2023 as an Information Technologies Specialist and had an incredibly bright future ahead of him. In moments like these, we must all come together to show much-needed love and compassion for the Coady family through this incredibly difficult time.
