Reflecting on 2023 and really appreciating radical honesty.

Like the man from Stanley Steemer who looked me dead in the eyes and said,

“There’s nothing I can do for these stains. You f*cked up.”

@_WesleyMills Wowwww v passy agressy on the cabinet doors sorry that I need to see in all of them

@pat_williams01 Wow Peebo is really opening their hearts to new experiences. There are at least 2 stray cats in our yard at any given time and I’ve never once thought to invite them in.

[Sarah Grace Mills @wsarahgrace]

@pat_williams01 Do Walter and Rebecca know you took home a stray cat

Of all the times to find a bag of stolen chocolate bars in a child’s bed at 2am …

THE NIGHT NEFORE THEIR SURGERY… when the child in question isn’t supposed to eat after 11 pm… is amazing timing.

This NYT piece is an endless stream of bangers.

I swear, one of the more destructive recent cultural trends has been the combined push to frame all distress or discomfort as mental illness, and then to encourage people to form their identity around being “mentally ill.”

[Sarah Grace Mills @wsarahgrace]

@rcarringer Oh they do. And then he got out a “universal key” aka bolt cutters.

[Sarah Grace Mills @wsarahgrace]

At the Y and asked Child #2 to get his stuff.

#2: “oh I locked it in the locker”
Us: “with what?”
#2: “with a lock I found”
Us: “buddy you don’t know the combination. it’s not your lock. your stuff is trapped now”
#2: “Oh”

Y worker: “those intrusive thoughts won today, huh”

@rcarringer I don’t think you’ll see the generational and spiritual repair you’ve done this side of heaven. Even if it gets much worse than it is now. Your labor was not in vain. I’m praying you WILL get to see it on this side, but sometimes we don’t.

“Only seen once before.” Right. Let’s just admit it’s an alien.

[Scary Underwater @scaryunderwater]

One of the rarest animal sightings in the world: chirodectes maculatus, only seen once before

@rcarringer The ownership people take over their mistakes in this show 🤌

I’ve typed 5 different tweets about the science of why 3rd grade retention isn’t going to help TN’s low academic achievement.

But I’m just going to nix those and say -

Those who write public school laws should be required to public school their children.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

THOUSANDS FACE RETENTION: In Knox County alone 36% of 3rd graders failed the TCAP test, which TN Republicans decided is now the sole criteria to decide if they should be held back.

Parenting is cleaning the kids’ bathroom and having this exchange with your spouse.

As one who has worn the quarter-zip for decades, this is nice to see. Of course, fashionable today doesn't mean it will be tomorrow.
