@dangillmor Thae response should be, Elon, and some of the dumbest people I know actually believe you.

@BrianJopek I was just trying to explain to a friend that I never feel energetic. Just different levels of exhausted. There are days I can move in spite of the exhaustion and days that I cannot.

@petergleick This discussion certainly evokes the western allies’ efforts to negotiate the Sudetenland away from the Czechs - without the approval of the Czechs! And we all know how well that tuned out

@petergleick It's a terrific movie! Didn't know that history. The apologists for fascism were the same kind of people as they are today, alas.

Chronic illness and pain often means that my motivation to get something accomplished does not match my body’s ability to function. It’s ok to take a break. Even if that break is a whole day or three. #spoonie #chronicillness #restingisproductive

I’m in love with this jug set. 😃

Bastian and I were on the 815 ferry for the Children’s Museum, groceries, and a car wash and we both looked like this by 3

'In an email to VICE News, the Ohio Department of Education appears to have concluded their investigation into the neo-Nazi homeschool network and determined the group did nothing wrong in light of the state’s homeschool policies. ...

I want to retire but not because I want to quit teaching. I absolutely don’t want to quit teaching. But I can’t bear the thought of 10 more years of having to go to meetings

My husband does not appreciate my efforts at romance, he made a cringe face when I called lube, weiner grease.
