@aljeeanne @FractalEcho NGL, a blanket and a cup of tea delivered with every email might make me more productive #caffeinemanagedneurodiversity

@ThorneChan @FractalEcho "How many exclamation points in this email will make it seem warm and friendly, without making me seem like a psychopath? 2? alternating sentences?" <-- all the damned time

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

This week, I had the honor of joining my colleagues as a founding member of the Congressional Dads’ Caucus. As a founder of the Mama’s Caucus, I understand how important it is to support working families. The Dads Caucus will ensure we are advancing policies to do just that.

@andreavbecker Damn. I’m taking my quals next week and was hoping that would be it.

@tankballa I thought these were to use on the hangers I have at home — otherwise they fall off my hangers, too!

@unfading1468941 @enbyourself There is little to no tipping in Starbucks or other fast food places. If this was $15/hr for waiting tables, where a 15-25% tip is expected, that would be a different story but still a rude note.

@HobnockerJ @Theholisticpsyc Bad behavior, in children or in adults, is the result of unmet needs. That doesn’t mean you’re supposed to meet the needs of your parents—that’s not your job as their child—and it’s not OK that their bad choices are hurting you, but they’re not usually choosing to hurt you.

@cosmic_wojapi @thecoffeewhore OMG this is amazing. I definitely need to make a geeky ribbon skirt next. I went classic Nishnabe floral for my first one (but it has a *pocket*)

@kimyoonmiauthor @pauljessup @NataniaBarron @cstross Everyone needs an interrobang, don’t you think ‽

[Katherine Allen @kat4llen]

@anneymarie @NomeDaBarbarian It’s not the Suffering Olympics. Of course NT people are also suffering, but the OP is describing a specific thing common to ND people and a way to help take care of ourselves. That doesn’t erase the suffering of the NTs, they will need different coping strategies.

@barenakedladies the AMA you did on Reddit 8 years ago said it was just a funny improv in the studio, but did you know there were cruel green dresses?

Just tore through Firekeeper’s Daughter - thank you @FineAngeline for a can’t-put-it-down story with real modern Nishnabe. 💛❤️🖤🤍. I can’t wait for your next book!

@kimtfiu @WesAllenn @galesburg71 @DrTomFrieden And DTAP and MMR immunity also wanes over time - anyone who will be around a new baby gets a fresh DTAP, and I had to get a new MMR at 35 because measles was running through my community (thanks antivaxxers!) and my immunity had waned since age 12.
