@ViralCarmichael @nytimes Ran into a tv reporter in local park looking for parents to interview about vaccines for kids. He said he was having trouble finding someone who didn’t want it for their kids to “show both sides of the story” 🤦‍♀️

@1followernodad I read another story recently from a woman who was scammed out of her life savings. I was assuming it was the same one, surprised it is not. I thought it was really brave to expose yourself, now I wonder if part of being a person who gets scammed is also over sharing.

@AshleyGWinter The thing that blew my mind about pregnancy was the placenta. You will produce an amazing tiny complicated human being. And a similarly sized organ that looks like a horror movie prop which will be thrown away. A whole 6lb organ! Into the trash it goes.

@mcmansionhell @thenation I hired an interior designer to help me with new house recently and all she wanted was grays. Final straw was the “pop of color” room she suggested be graphite. Never again, I’ll stick with mismatched unbalanced rooms.

@TravisMayfield I disagree. Parking with the driver at the curb means you can’t see or be seen by on coming traffic. I’ve had close calls while riding my bike from cars parked like this. It’s a public street and needs to be safe for everyone.

@NataniaBarron Do you have thoughts about the ebook restrictions for libraries? They buy new license for every 20 checkouts, publishers limiting how many copies libraries get, etc. Does that money get back to authors?

@1followernodad They are drowning under debt because they are required to bank pension and medical payments for some crazy amount of time. Like 50 years worth of payments in the bank. No other federal agency has same burden. Their money trouble isn’t related to service issues. It’s nuts.

@GordonOfSeattle @Qagggy My constant 🤦‍♀️ about this is people failing to see that one day they will want to live on their own but no longer be able to drive. Apartments and transit aren’t just for young people. They’re also great for older ones who want to stay in their neighborhood.

For first time since the pandemic began, I packed kiddo onto my bike and rode downtown to the market. We got bread and flowers. We ate eclairs and sandwiches. We walked in the middle of the road like we owned the place. Wonderful reconnect with the city. I’ve missed it!

@AshleyGWinter Another vote for the sleep sack. We loved Halo sleep sacks because they had TOG ratings and clear guidelines about how to keep babe warm. I loved the clear instructions when so much baby stuff is warnings and liability disclaimers instead of instructions.

@AshleyGWinter She spent her last years happier than many of the preceding ones. She was often angry and anxious. Then all that fell away revealing a joyful person inside. And once her 90 year old brother tried to beat up Elvis for what he did to his sister. So there’s that too.
