I went ahead and grabbed @[email protected], been adding a few folks as I find them, but well, I'm esmerel most places anyway.

@ask_aubry OP’s mom is partially right. Mom *did* do this for the kid’s sake. Kid has a better idea of what kind of person his dad actually is.

[esmerel @esmerel]

@ask_aubry It is 100% the job of the person who wants to claim a relationship to MAINTAIN that relationship. If dad *cared*, he would show it. Why is it on a woman to maintain things for him, especially a woman who literally has zero obligation to him?

@ShoshanaKessock I’m sorry :/

@AKJesterNoMore @Larsen126052Kim ASL is generally used in North America, and is a derivative/based on French Sign Language. Other places have their own signed languages. =)

@DavidBirney @sarahhollowell There are instances, yes. Some contractors want checks. US passports must be paid by check or money order. Many passport processing stations also only take check or money order. Writing checks is much less common but definitely still around.

@ryanarey I only noticed during this last episode - Ahsoka wears some beads on the right side of her belt. They almost look like her Padawan beads.

@BriannaWu A lot of right wingers reaction is “just beat them until they obey”

@OnTheJazzz @merlinofchaos He doesn’t bake as much - but he *is* a fabulous cook when he’s got the time and energy :D Plus it’s easier to buy some of my favorite baked stuff ;)

Happy 21st anniversary to my sweetie :)

@wordstern @ContentDesignLN Ask as a noun. Request and problem or issue are both right there and are more specific.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

Guess she means when I was a kid in Jackson, MS & the KKK blew up a synagogue near my house & my dad & his partner arrested 3 of the KKK racists who did it & we had to move out of our home until they rounded up the other KKK a$$hats as they threatened to kill our entire family?

[Pastor Ben @BenjaminPDixon]

Literally no group sexually assaults children more than straight Christian men in positions of authority.

And they’re the ones creating a mob in a frenzy attacking drag queens.

And some of you are falling for it.

[esmerel @esmerel]

@adhdjesse It's so true though (I've done it forever)

[esmerel @esmerel]

@resteen @Danjay98 @PFinnegan324 @ask_aubry Socialization happens plenty of places besides daycare/box with a bunch of kids the same age, too. There’s a weird “school=socialization” thing.

@OnTheJazzz @merlinofchaos It’s his favorite coffee cake - i kinda only make it for his birthday and Father’s Day :D

[emily freeman @editingemily]

It’s my birthday. I’m 37 and I have some things I’d like to share, in no particular order.

1. No one thinks about you more than you do. That thing from two years ago that keeps you up at night? No one else remembers. Honor the memory and let it go.

[emily freeman @editingemily]

12. Parenting is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. And it’s totally worth it. The foundation of parenting is loving them, accepting them, protecting them, and showing the fuck up.
