A man is sitting next to his newborn baby's cot. From the other room his father comes in and lays a hand on his shoulder.

"You've done really well, mate. You'll make a brilliant dad."

The son looks up and smiles with a bit of anxiety in his voice. "Thanks, Dad. I really hope so."

The old man pulls out a small book from his back pocket and hands it to his son. "Now that you're a parent, I'd like you to have this. I studied it for the first year of your life and memorised every single one. I'd love you to use it for my grandson."

The son looks at the cover which is titled 1000 Dad Jokes To Annoy Your Children. He looks up with tears in his eyes. "Dad...I'm honoured."

His dad smiles: "Hello, Honoured. I'm Dad."

98.6 is typical, but people have different baselines. I run about a degree lower than that.

I don't know about absorb what's in the music, but those times I can't figure out what I'm feeling, the music I listen to tells me a lot.

Electricians here installing a place to plug in my EV for charging at home, and the internet shuts down. They were all nervous until I'd done some checking. The fiber optic is down, so unless they got into a whole different box than the power (they didn't), it's not them.

Honestly I’m only on Mastodon because it seems like irc circa 1997 in here.

I just read that Tina Turner died. What an amazing person. She was the same age as my mom. I just saw mom last night, but I kind of want to go to her house and give her another hug tonight.

Re-upping my #Introduction post since I just migrated to hoosier.social!

I'm Kit!

I work in political advocacy - I'm a strategist and lobbyist for the ACLU of Indiana.

I'm currently leading the fight against anti-LGBTQ censorship, and to protect trans youth in #Indiana from a record breaking number of attack bills ... so I am #tired.

I'm also a folksinger and a songwriter.

She/hers pronouns please!

KKKevin McCarthy isn't the leader of anything. He sacrificed the actual authority in order to get a title.
Empty G is the House leader, and the Mango Moron is the GQP leader.

It's been one year since the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in #Uvalde. The people of that town are still seeking justice.

From the archives: A town's tragedy awakens memories of a history of civil rights #activism in the southwest #Texas town in @gusbova's investigation.
