My son shared this with me tonight in his "I found this funny and thought you would like it" nightly video share, and he was absolutely right.
The constant chase for validation/being a success is a terrible way to live life. Also the song is catchy as fuck.

The 5yo has this memorized and will sing it to you in its entirety so you really should go vote because he is too young to do so. π
And while you do, just imagine a small child doing his best impression to say, "Power to the people! Good luck!"

the way I had to pause and go "Shit, I actually DID need math" when our D&D group was figuring out if the spellcaster was in range of the flying BBEG who was 40 feet up and 20 feet away
This is ragebait so not directly quoting it, but the question misses the point: studying those topics trains you to THINK, which ia something EVERYONE needs to know regardless if you use those specific skills.
Happy Mole Day, nerds! We "celebrated" the day at our high school, and I've never known anyone but other alumnae or scientists to have any clue what I'm talking about.
Getting discharged after having a stent placed. Gonna let my kidney be less inflamed before we go back in and blast the stone. Have pain meds, antibiotics, and orders to rest and chill.
Thank you all for the thoughts and kind words, it means a lot to me π

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and itβs been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodnessβ¦
One metal magazine of the 90s actually coined the phrase "Hetfield Effect" to describe the tendency of rockers to switch from "anti-war / anti-establishment" to "patriotic / conservative" pretty much the second they passed draft age
I was 7. No one came to my birthday party (class invites, just girls) and I didn't understand it, so I asked a girl in my class when we came back from break and the look she gave me was everything.
I started spending recess in the library and "writing spells" on tiny scraps of paper in fake Latin.
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
This sounds like a joke question, but it isnβt.
If it doesnβt apply to you, fine. But itβs a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious.
When did you first realize you were weird?
This thread. It is SO SO SO important to read to kids. Growing minds need to be read to. Storytime at the library. Bedtime stories. Reading aloud in classes. Person to person interactions with forming brains.
Do we really need to explain to people that it is really, REALLY important to read to young children? Like, you, personally, need to read to your child - your voice, your face, your hand gestures, your lap, your arms, your closeness. What kind of parent doesn't know this in their bones?

Having a Maine Coon is like having a 20lb heated, weighted blanket that is permanently wadded up behind your knees and kicks you every so often while snoring.
I hate how often it has seemed appropriate to reintroduce folks to our perfumes which fundraise for #RAINN, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. Artistically, these scents are envisioned as an appeal to the Fates for justice and vengeance.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
