My kid is staying home from school again today.
Not because she's sick.
But because there was a school shooting in Georgia last week, and yesterday some idiot made a Tiktok video threatening entire school districts all over the country. Including ours.
Kids panic and gossip--so at 11yo's school, it turned into a rumor that someone was planning to shoot up their school today.
So my kid's nerves are shot & her anxiety is through the roof.
I hate US culture.

I have never read Philip José Farmer. Are his books worth my time to hunt down and add to my To-Read Shelf?
If yes, which ones?
Thx in advance!

Day 15 of #CovidJail. Still running a low fever. I *almost* think I could chance coming out of isolation if I keep masking up inside the house. But taking that risk scares me. Spouse and 11yo have managed not to catch this from me. Better I stay in quarantine another day or two. 😔
The good news is, I felt well enough to take an actual shower this afternoon instead of just an inadequate "spit bath" here and there.

Should I be worried about these people? Are they gun nuts who are going to start taking pot shots at anyone who isn't right-wing?
I told 11yo to stay on our side of the street if she sees them.
We just bought this house in March. 😫

Two days ago, neighbor across the street & 2 doors down was arrested. Four cars' worth of cops. This is either a monumental waste of tax $$$, or the guy really is that dangerous. I don't know which is worse.
Watching drama unfold, I noticed the flag hanging at neighbors' house across the street & *one* door down. The flag is American Flag pattern but all black.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean "we're going to kill you all when the Second Civil War starts"?

I'm 47 and my spouse is 52. Never in our 25-year marriage have we had enough money to invest $400 per month. For a lot of us out here, that kind of financial goal has never been and will never be realistic.

"When asked...if someone wearing a mask for health purposes in public would be violating the law, a legislative staff member said it would, because the bill repeals the exemption."
If you never before realized that our health is a political matter...and that wealthy politicians literally do not care whether we live or die...you have overslept and now is the time to WAKE UP.

What you're saying is very true and needful.
But I'm not grown-up enough yet *not* to derive gleeful satisfaction from naming certain folks "useless pieces of wilted spinach." Which is, admittedly a me problem. 😉

THIS IS INCREDIBLE 😃
"an mRNA cancer vaccine developed at the University of Florida successfully reprogrammed patients’ immune systems to fiercely attack glioblastoma, the most aggressive and lethal brain tumor" through "...use of a patient’s own tumor cells to create a personalized vaccine...."
FUCK CANCER. And let's see anti-vaxxers reject *this* one.

Last week's statements by the #GOP of #Washington State:
"We are devolving into a democracy, because congressmen and senators are elected by the same pool.... We do not want to be a democracy.....
"We encourage Republicans to substitute the words ‘republic’ and ‘republicanism’ where previously they have used the word ‘democracy'.... Every time the word ‘democracy’ is used favorably it serves to promote the principles of the Democratic Party, the principles of which we ardently oppose....

#TIL stop signs shaped like octagons were invented in Mississippi in 1923 because someone thought that the more sides a shape had, the higher a danger level it invoked.
A triangle has the fewest number of sides, so it's just a warning.
A square has 4 sides, so it ups the warning level a little.
An octagon has 8 sides, so that's the warning that says Stop Right Where You Are Because Horrors Shall Ensue.
I'm assuming that if we ever see a >8-sided sign, it means #Cthulhu has arrived.

And no, kids shouldn't be expected to become caregivers. But "even" boys can be expected to do the laundry and wash the dishes and vacuum the floors when they live at home,.pay no rent, and their mother is taking their father to neurology appointments.
Anyway, stop making excuses for boys and men when it comes to not taking on domestic shit.

person1: my husband might have Parkinson's. my sons see the need for their help, but they won't step up
person2: how old are they?
p1: 18 & 19
person3: well there you go. they're still kids
me: part of it is also that our culture doesn't expect that kind of caregiving from boys
p2: oh but they're still teenagers
p3: you can't expect that from them
p2: remember when *you* were a teenager
Yeah, I remember when I was a teenager, 18 & 19. And that kind of help *was* expected of me. I was a girl

Somebody said that Trump isn't being put on trial in the middle of an election year.
Instead, Trump decided to run for president in the midst of his many criminal trials.
That's an important rephrasing that desperately needs airtime and headspace.
