I’m registered Dem, so I can vote in primaries, but I donate to and participate with Democratic Socialists of America.
And I yell “do better and I might!” whenever the DNC asks for money (they can’t hear me, it’s mostly text and junk mail).

Interesting that the wiki says it’s only for women’s restrooms.
Also funny that some women just really need the real thing, the sound box isn’t good enough. Never mind the public toilet spraying your nethers with flush water while you do your business. I guess the bidet helps with some of that.


You know those knees are touching


I think I heard that from OP, actually.


I only ever hear “and bless the hands that prepared it.” So… that’s an interesting image.


This guy shows how to do modified mobility exercises that are meant to be more accessible to people with health issues. His very chill tone is relaxing to listen to and no special equipment needed.


But then wouldn’t it be “onest”?
Whence/whenst, once/onest
But I would pronounce that o-nest, so six of one, half dozen of the other I suppose.


It’s a regional way of saying “once.” As in, “oncet I finish this, I’ll start on that.” The spelling is a crime though.


This reminded me of how I read the Grapes of a Wrath in its entirety before learning that it’s ja-LOP-ee, not JA-la-pee. Also, “oncet” is not On-set, it’s wunst.


There is a gas station near me that has a whole side of the store closed in as a massive walk in fridge for drinks. I like to go in and take a really long time choosing a beverage.
Period swim wear exists, but I don’t understand the physics of it or trust it enough to actually go in a pool, but it would be fine in a natural body of water that doesn’t have a white bottom to showcase any under water leaks. Or just for water play outside the pool- sprinklers, hoses, water balloons, etc.


Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun and Robots of Dawn are a murder mystery/sci-fi trilogy by Asimov. They are linked to the foundation series/the rest of his interconnected novels and short stories, but they work fine as a stand alone series that isn’t a massive commitment.


“Retro futurism” is the vibe you’re looking for. Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut is a good one.

This reminds me of the BBC’s Marple. It’s a murder mister show, so folks die every episode, and so many of them die by being pushed into a still pond on a warm day. In one case just wading into a pond.


If you have the resources, find a therapist that specializes in gender identity. A family therapist can support you and your child. With the popularity of online therapy, it is much easier to find the specific therapist you need.
There are also tons of parents groups that can offer community and help in your journey as you learn to support your child.
It’s really special that you are reaching out and doing all you can to be the parent they need.


Are your beetles reconstituted?
Would you like us to assign someone to reconstitute your beetles?


I know a woman who refers to Cole slaw dressing as “slaw juice” and it offends more than I knew was even possible.
I find that bananas in fridge makes the fridge smell like banana, but in a really bad way.
“Like” can also be a softener.
“I ate like 20 corn dogs” is different than “I ate 20 corn dogs.”
The former means a larger than standard number of corn dogs, maybe six or seven. The latter means twenty.
It has other practical uses as well.
