I'm in a weird situation. I have three people I'd feel confident/comfortable calling for something really huge - like needing to be bailed out of jail - but no one I'd feel comfortable calling for lunch, or to go to a movie. The three people are busy / have families / have jobs. I just feel like I'm intruding if I call them.

I used to make videos about books and language learning, but I wasn't really in the right headspace for it these past couple of years. But recently I've been wanting to pick up my camera again; I just love documenting things in my daily life that make me happy and talking about books!

What other people said. If she is avoiding you, trying to talk to her will only make her more convinced she did the right thing. If it's something completely unrelated to you, it won't hurt anything to let her strike up the conversation next time. Just smile, wave, be approachable, and let her take the initiative.

Before supper last night, I whipped up a chocolate cake, because it's CHOCOLATE CAKE… and we didn't have any around.

This breaks every rule in the book, but I'm having lunch cake today too.

@ottaross

If lunch cake is breaking the rules, I guess I should warn everyone to avert their eyes when I have a slice of breakfast cake.

I've started wondering if the negative reaction NTs have to NDs is related to the phenomenon they're calling "Uncanny Valley" in robotics. People have an automatic negative reaction to robots who are very close to human appearance, but slightly off.

My Wife: Now don't eat all of the cake at once

Me: sorry I'm driving and you're breaking up

My Wife: I'm right here in the passenger seat!

I think my dog is a Gumby/Lab mix. Maybe I should have named him Gumby. Then when someone asks his name , I could say β€œHe’s Gumby dammit!”

Don’t ask me who Gumby is, you young whippersnapper. Also don’t ask me what whippersnapper means.

Good news today: A coalition of 25 state governors announced a major push to reach 20M deployed heat pumps by 2030 -would represent a quadrupling of the number of heat pumps installed in 2020. Heat pumps are energy efficient replacements for furnaces & ACs -use electricity to transfer heat, as opposed to generate heat & can either heat a building when it is cold outside or cool a building when it is hot outside.

What does disgust for disabled people look like in its purest, most densely crystallized form, like a black diamond of hatred spat out by one of the most twisted, hollowed-out, f*cked-up criminals in US history? Imagine supporting this man and calling yourself a "patriot," a "Christian," or even a "human being"? theatlantic.com/magazine/archi
