I was fortunate to meet her twice. The first time I volunteered for a lecture via the foundation. Second time attending another lecture. She was my idol when I was a budding anthropologist. The world lost a magnificent person.
What I needed to hear, 12 years later
I lost my void 6 weeks ago, unexpectedly. There is now an even greater void in my heart 🖤Sending healing ❤️🩹
If only.
That’s the best name!!
Done, and she’s medicated now! Still a lot of health issues and not a great outlook but she’s happy and loved! And comfortable of course.
She’s on thyroid meds since last week. She’s got a host of other issues that can’t be treated so easily, or with treatments that would fix one thing but make something else worse.
I would definitely prefer a bus, but kiddo goes to school in a different neighborhood and there is no bus to/from our house. Definitely not more convenient to drive 25m each way, twice a day 😆
Solid and smooth: a dump masterpiece
I just rode my bike to a doctor’s office 2.5 miles away that I normally drive to. It crosses a v v v shady area and that’s put me off from riding. However today I said fuck it and here I am in one piece. I have time on the back end to take the long way home.
Yeah I live in a that’s becoming bike friendly but still need car for practicality. And the danger. ⚠️
Ass hat indeed!!! My wife doesn’t drive - never has - so we’re at least a one car fam.
This is the third nice story I’ve heard about the Luray Caverns this week! I went with my daughter a few years ago and we were underwhelmed - stuffed in like sardines. Must have been an off day. Will visit again if I’m in that neck of the woods.
Run cow run
This was the apex of music and art to me as a teen and most definitely the double CD played a pivotal role in my youth. Now I’m like wtf am I looking at. Later, in film school, seeing the OG Trip to the Moon was a great throwback. So many feelings here!! Gah!!!
I’m also not ok and I’m not pretending anymore either. It’ll pass. But damn, ready for some light.

So I do this now with my kid’s dad who has NPD as well as another Cluster B disorder. Coparenting was the plan and his issues make that impossible. So I am a grey rock and we parallel parent (he doesn’t know that). Kiddo is in HS now so it’s way better bc I can communicate important info directly with her (like logistics for rides and stuff) and avoid getting dragged into his exhausting nonsense. She knows how he is. Working to mitigate the effects on her. Sorry. TMI.

Even when I started teaching it took a long time to get used to “Miss”
Yes this is me too 100% Makes me super uncomfortable to be perceived at different levels of BS social hierarchies
Get down
It’s been such a rough few days. I appreciate your comment so much.
Yes 💯
@op my heart breaks for you. My cousin - who grew up with me, lived with us, like a big sister - is mentally unwell and on the streets. Haven’t seen her in half a decade now. The systems, they’ve all crumbled. There’s nothing for the ones who need it. Almost impossible even for those of us with the means to get help. I’m so deeply sorry for your loss.
This brings me so much joy!! I aim to choke you with hilarity!
Infinitely damn
We have these!!!!! Thanks to my too cool wife!
Seconded. This is how you ensure you end up in a nursing home with no visitors.
