The great thing about huge declarations is that the most times you're ever going to have to deliver on them is ONCE. And even that is vanishingly unlikely. The dishes happen every day. My feet hurt now. The kids need a lift to piano lessons every week. The grenade is hypothetical.
You’d die for me? I’d prefer someone who’d live for me, thanks.
Death is nothing - Henry Scott Holland, British theologian, writer and canon, spoke these words from his sermon Death the King of Terror on May 15, 1910 at St. Paul's Cathedral, London, 9 days after the death of King Edward VII.
This gave me chills…. A perfect performance of Michael Sheen reciting “ Do not go gentle into that good night “ by Dylan Thomas.

From the book Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD:
Reblog and say what project you currently have spread on your dinner table in the tags
I’ve gotten this book out from the library and it is fantastic. I was wary, because we all know how well most organization schemes work for us, but she is a professional organizer who specifically wrote the book because her usual methods didn’t work for clients with adhd (and then her own daughter, when she was diagnosed) and she had to actually sit down and figure out their needs and adjust her methods accordingly.
For once, a NT author sat down and took the time to really understand adhd and rearranged their whole methodology just to fit, and it shows. She explicitly says that a well-organized adhd house will not look like a well-organized NT house, and that is absolutely fine. Organization has to be about what works for you.
(Also: I had this book sitting in my back office basket at the library I volunteer in for weeks without being able to check it out, because I kept forgetting to return my overdue books. LOL)
just overheard my wife spelling something on the phone and i shit you not saying the words “E as in Eeyore” i am on my hands and knees wailing screaming crying pleading and begging people to learn the NATO phonetic alphabet
like the reason this exists is because none of the words sound like each other, which means that even with a terrible signal both parties should be able to clearly understand the words being spelled
i am dead serious that i believe this should be taught in school
You are right

turkeys
What are you talking about? Turkeys are so stupid that Turkey farmers have to run around herding them inside if there's a storm, because the turkeys will stare at the sky wondering where water is coming from - but when they point their heads up, their mouths come open, and they will literally drown.
When I was in high school, a local Turkey farmer nearly lost his farm because we had a flash flood and 1/3 of his stock DROWNED.
what do you mean the CDC just announced a deadly e. coli outbreak linked to mcdonald's quarter pounders
october 22nd, 2024
the united states centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) has linked a deadly e. coli outbreak to mcdonald's quarter pounder burgers.
right now, 49 infections have been linked to this outbreak. this includes 10 hospitalizations and 1 death. these numbers are expected to rise, and only represent infections that have been linked to this outbreak. the CDC expects the true number of infections to be much higher, because most people recover from e. coli without medical intervention within around a week. and it can take weeks for a confirmed case to be officially associated with an outbreak.
it typically takes e. coli 3-4 days after exposure to cause illness. in some cases, such as those already associated with this outbreak, e. coli can cause death or disability.
so far, the cases associated with this outbreak were from september 27th to october 11th, 2024. infections may have occurred before or after this date range.
the ten states with confirmed cases so far (this list might expand, do NOT rely on this list to keep you safe): wisconsin, oregon, montana, wyoming, utah, colorado, nebraska, kansas, missouri, iowa.
mcdonald's has pulled the ingredients for quarter pounders in some states while they investigate, and quarter pounders may not be sold in those states for a while as a result.
as with all foodborne illness outbreaks, if you think you are affected by this, talk to your healthcare provider. even if just to record and report that you got sick.
as of when I am posting this, it is not yet known for sure which mcdonald's ingredient is contaminated, but the FDA thinks it might be onions. there is currently no list of which specific mcdonald's locations received the suspect onions, or what other restaurant chains, if any, also get their onions from the same source.
this outbreak investigation is ongoing and moving quickly. there will be better answers and more information soon.
Yep this is why I always pick Wendy's
wendy's was never even able to figure out which ingredient was contaminated.
via Instagram The youngest member of New Zealand’s parliament, Māori Party MP Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke, started a haka to protest the first vote on a proposed law that would re-interpret New Zealand's founding legal document. The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced by the leader of the libertarian ACT party, David Seymour, and would redefine how New Zealand interprets the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi), which was signed in 1840 between the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs. Under the proposed changes, the New Zealand government would have "full power to govern" and make laws "in the best interests of everyone", while also promising to "respect and protect" the rights of Māori under the treaty "at the time they signed it". Maipi-Clarke was suspended from parliament and her behaviour was called disrespectful and grossly disorderly by the speaker.
I love not just the open defiance of colonial rhetoric, but the solidarity of her party members and allies in parliament to rise to the occasion and join her. Literally in most cases!

Finally experiencing good things after being in a really shit place for a while can actually feel really destabilizing. When you spend years growing ever more convinced you can't be loved and then suddenly are, it can really screw with your conception of yourself and your experience. That's okay. It doesn't mean those things are bad. It doesn't mean that you're not meant for good things. It doesn't mean it's wrong. It just means that your perception of your life has been so deeply embroiled in the pain of your existence that realizing what's truly out there for you forces a massive shift in perspective, and any shift like that is going to be hard, even if it's good. Keep going. Keep loving. Keep experiencing all that is good for you in this life. One day you'll get used to being happy.
