“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread. A civilization which destroys what little remains of the wild, the spare, the original, is cutting itself off from its origins and betraying the principle of civilization itself.” Edward Abbey

Journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving.

@miltonappl3 They want both parties to sign the contract in the event they aren’t paid.

I had all the high risk discussions and ultrasounds. Even though they saw potential issues, we ended up declining the amnio because of the risk. (I had already had 7+ miscarriages). We would never have terminated regardless. It is good to be prepared.
Our friends, who were pregnant at the time, have a son with Downs. They would never terminate it they were very prepared at the birth.

Dear legacy media journalists:

In light of your Scott Pelley lunatic antics; apparently, you all need a reality refresher. So as a public service to your cratering brand, here you go:

1- You do not run the company that employs you. The executive management runs the company, subject to oversight by the owners and/or the stockholders. You are not part of that oversight process.

2- The company that employees you does not owe you an explanation of everything they do, especially with regard to personnel matters. In fact, your own legal / HR department will tell you it is problematic to discuss personnel decisions beyond a need-to-know basis.

3- People don't care who reports the story - they care about the quality of the story. Reading a teleprompter put together by the production team that did the story isn't the galactic-level skill you may think it is.

4- This one should be obvious, but when journalists are the story versus reporting the story, you all failed.

5- When you run a story that is critical of an individual, administration, or institution; allowing the subject of the story to comment ahead of time is not "injecting political bias into the story." It's Journalism 101, which apparently is no longer taught in Journalism 101.

6- We really don't care what a "former producer" or a "former correspondent" thinks about anything. There's often a good reason they are a "former" something, and that reason usually undercuts their credibility.

7- This one also seems obvious, but you're subject to - and only subject to - the same employment laws that affect everyone else in every other business. When the First Amendment was written, the "press" referred to the printing press, not some special class of citizenry that is exempt from laws that affect everyone else.

8- When you have a show that suffered one of the worst scandals in journalism history - revolving around the literal forging of fake memos - don't tell us it's a gold standard that never had a blemish in its history. You just look dumb when you do that.

You're welcome.

@HannahWardEdu I need to get that to put in a stash for future grandchildren

@nativegardenr @1True_American_ I’m here and still keep mine at 74. We have a new unit though and our bill went down significantly after it was installed.

[Deb Gee @debcgee]

@blueicetrike @1True_American_ I’m in AZ too but keep mine at 74.

@Fascinate_Hist I’ve read most. It’s missing Shakespeare though.

@HannahWardEdu Having never watched an episode of Gilmore Girls, I can’t comment on Rory. I prefer this Belle though.

@901Lulu There’s no bail yet because that is determined at the arraignment. Here’s more detail. https://t.co/W2KTJMVQva

@llallawg As an American, dry goods should always be measured in grams. Liquids are fine in measuring cups - 1 cup is 8 fl oz.

On my sons first trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, he was most impressed by the Fry Bread food truck at Jacob’s Lake. Not the Canton, not the bison or elk, not the condors - that was the best fry bread he ever had.

2023 summer trip, my husband’s suitcase didn’t make it to Rome with us. We went to the mall to get some things for him while the airline located it. We then had a gorgeous 2 week trip through Italy. Our 8yo wrote about the mall for his “what I did last summer” work.

The last time I gave birth (15 years ago), the sofa turned into a bed. They also prepare a special new parents dinner for both. It was actually pretty good. We had some complications during the birth so my memory is kind of spotty but I do remember feeling like they took care of both of us.

Just saw this on Substack. The metaphor is spot on.

@TRae764357 @Arkypatriot Yes. And people who work outside start as soon as the sun comes up so that they can be done by 2. You can’t even take a dog for a walk until the sun goes down.

@bethanyshondark @FrumTikTok And the mother is 56 which makes it even more unfair.
