@ScottSoCal @Adirondack and David Gregory saying Democrats practice identity politics for not helping his poor team mates tie their shoe laces!πŸ₯΄

@Adirondack@toad.social

Yeah. One of the first headlines I saw after KKKevin got booted was "8 Republicans join Democrats in ousting McCarthy".

No, sunshine, that's not what happened. Rs made the rule, Rs made the motion, Rs cast the votes. Get your story straight.

Columbus, Ohio is wiping out $335 million of medical debt accrued by more than 340K moderate-income residents by using money from the American Rescue Plan.

Thanks, Joe!

Now watch, as the Ohio GQP files a lawsuit to stop it from happening.

If I see people out of context (a co-worker at a grocery store) it's jarring, and I freeze up for a second. I'm supposed to know them, but this isn't right...

@hosford42

That sounds a lot like me. I could describe a nose, a mouth, eyes, eyebrows - all the components of a face, but it doesn't stick together in my head unless there's something memorable about it. Otherwise it's just a face, like any other face.

Lots of follows with few/no followers and few/no posts is what pings my suspicion radar.

I know he feels it when I scratch the itches he can't reach, and when I snuggle him.
He comes up to me and paws at the part of his body he can't reach, so I know where to scratch.

@Hey_Beth

He mustered votes! He got two less, so he mustered them for someone else, but still...

@Zumbador

This may just be my personal interpretation, but "forcing myself to be quiet" wouldn't fit what I think of as self-regulation.
Self-regulation is what *I* need to feel better/calm down, not what other people need.

@CuriousMagpie@mastodon.social

I used to tell my dog how great he was, all the time. Now he's a very old Little Man, and he's almost completely deaf, and he can't hear me say it. That makes me sad. πŸ˜₯

@Susan60

I do the same, but sometimes I struggle to come up with a metaphor the students will relate to, if the subject is excessively technical.

When I need to calm down, or when I'm cleaning the kitchen, I put this on and sing it. A couple of octaves below this, but it matches my voice perfectly.

@hosford42

I think so. IQ is taken as "overall intelligence" when it's actually just measurement of a limited subset of capabilities. I test exceptionally well in that subset, but I don't consider myself more intelligent overall than many people I've known who scored lower. I have things I'm good at, so do they.

@GTMLosAngeles @LordCaramac @foolishowl @26pglt @actuallyautistic @neurodivergence

@hosford42

And I remember numbers - all kinds of numbers, just out of the blue. I don't remember faces or names.
I can recognize people if they have a memorable hairstyle. As people sometimes do.
