With a lot of experience at 0 or negative spoons, I’ve got an addendum to the theory. When you’re in spoon debt, you *will* have a coping mechanism. Not expecting this can leave you feeling trapped, not in control of your actions, and unable to stop because it’s adding stress instead of addressing the original spoon

I have fibromyalgia and ME and Spoon Theory has been the easiest way for me to explain to others how and why my body work the way it does. One of my daughters has depression, and she started using the phrase “I’ve only got a couple spoons left, what do I use them on?” as she makes decisions about her day.

I remember Biden’s letter to the Chanel Miller, the Stanford rape survivor. She met the empty and unreasonable standards of courts set out for ‘perfect’ victims - in that she had literal Scandinavian, male heroic witnesses, rape kit, did the things you’re supposed to do, enjoyed privileges that usually curry favour

Also a MKE resident. This whole thing is pure t bullshit. I did the right thing, applied for the absentee ballot before the deadline, and I never got mine in the mail. My only recourse is to trek over to Washington High School and wait around every other person in line at the same time. My wife works in a hospital,

As a Milwaukee county resident I can say that we are pissed. This is insane. 180 polling places in Milwaukee normally, down to 5 now!

Babyface also needs EXTREME credit for giving me Take A Bow by Madonna. He made that woman sound like she can keep a melody and harmonize. It’s magical.

Bye, son.

Amirite?

MKE resident here. The North side of the city, which has a larger population of black folks living at or below the federal poverty level, is seeing a fairly concentrated outbreak. Couple that with a relative lack of medical facilities on that side of town and you have a potentially catastrophic situation.

Thomas went to a Detroit Chase branch, where he opened an account and successfully deposited his settlement checks

When I got my first big promotion, only one coworker threw a fit about it. He was in his mid-50s and didn’t understand why a woman half his age was being promoted, when he hadn’t had a raise in ages. When I mentioned this to my boss, she asked me how many trainings he had attended; how many times he filled in for

There’s a much simpler solution:

Maybe, just maybe, the judge is asking that question to get a sense of whether or not a juror is a reasonable individual.

When it swims on a reef

The problem with having to roast Katie is that she’s too damn nice and good to come up with something to roast her about, aside from her completely incorrect ranking of fruits. Clementines as #1? Hm.

That is one of the most powerful pieces of art I have seen in some times, it really hit me. I feel too sad to thanks for sharing, but thank you. 

Okay but who is the Baby Driver? Me. 

stick to baseball!!!
