Probably not, but we're dying to hear it anyway.

Overheard

Never know what's going through that tiny baby brain. He could be thinking about cornering the market on binkies.

LOLOL. Ok, now you've done it. I will go for it. 🙂

Woohoo! 👏👏👏 Is he aware that he has four different ones?

Hmmm, a lot of these are not as exotic as they sound. I'd go with Rising of the Lights, but it's too bad it's just croup.

OMG, I want this job. Not sure how to get it yet. But I want it.

Wait, you're running a race today? Awesome! Hope it goes well!

OMFG. I feel like throwing up.

🙄🤷‍♀️ Yes, once we've made one movie about a universl truth, we never need to make any other movies about it that say it in different ways for different people. /s

Yep! It's a small role but he nails it.

Ohhhh, no fun. You're right, it's not 100% foolproof.

I really enjoyed it! I thought it was charming start to finish. I don't know why it's getting middling reviews.

I just re-watched "Barbie" with a 72-year-old activist friend and she LOVED it. It was even more charming watching it with her. And I just this time picked up on Ncuti Gatwa (the new Doctor Who) being one of the Kens. So fun. Highly recommend watching this with an older female friend if you can.

200%

Um, holy moly. That was mind-blowing. I was able to read that so fast.

TIL "mellow yellow" was a reference to a yellow vibrator/dildo being sold at the time

The way I laughed at this. 🤣

Nice! I went to the Novato Ren Faire (Blackpoint?) several times when I lived in Novato, which would have been 1995 to 2001. That was really fun. I'd heard it ended after I left but I didn't know what happened.

Ah, just found it on the map! Excellent, that's a little spot check.

Excellent! Is it on that map?

If you're in NorCal during Memorial Day weekend, you may want to check out the Renaissance Faire in Anderson near Redding. Organizers are saying that this year's faire will be two to three times bigger than the last one, and the vendors' list looks incredible.

I bet it's far. If you can wait til September, a Ren Faire is happening in Hollister which I expect is closer to you.

Oh yes! Now *I* want sword-fighting mermaids to be a thing. I don't have any RenFaire-appropriate outfit so I'll have to buy at least one as soon as I get there and get into costume. Sword-fighting mermaid is definitely a contender.

Shasta's a gorgeous mountain and I agree it's a revelation. I'm glad you got to see it.

Good morning, starshine.

Fantastic news, congratulations!

It was at least three months ago that I got the letter. And yes, I seem to recall the letter saying the card would arrive soon, but it never did.

It's all right! A lot of folks don't like unsolicited advice but I'll take it if it's useful.

Thanks, you're sweet to care. 🙂 I think it'll be ok in a few days. Two different folks with some medical tratraining said they don't think anything's broken, and I just need to stay off it as much as possible and ice it and take ibuprofen.

Sacramento County folks: is this also your impression?

No Billionaires @zil.bsky.social

Sac county govt is also shit. It’s where republicans go to fuck shit up.

Foot is elevated. I'll need to look for that letter. It should have a phone number on it, and my case number which I assume I'll need. You're very sweet to help motivate me.😊

I'm going to need to be harassed into doing this. I hate dealing with this county so much. I wish Medi-Cal didn't devolve to the county so it's more like DMV and run by the state.

Yeah, probably more like bribes or quid pro quo deals but who knows. I'm not privy to those convos. All I know is that this is fucked up.

Oh man, thanks for the offer but I'm way the fuck up here in Chico. A friend brought over some Canadian crutches and a walker so I think I'll be ok. It's just annoying and it hurts like a mofo.

Thanks for the gift link!

Yep, I sure can. I'm going to have to do that or get some groceries delivered. I have a few things I can make with what I've got but not a lot.

Oh my gosh, I didn't realize there were different sets of rules. That can be confusing.

Oh nooooo. But if that's the worst injury you've had with jujitsu, that sounds like you've been fairly fortunate.

Oh yesssss. Can you freaking believe this?

A friend did bring over a walker and a pair of "Canadian crutches", both of which are really helping. That's a great idea about packing a bag to elevate it. I really freaking need a Star Trek food replicator right next to me though.

Thank you for the sympathy!

I think the swelling is causing as much pain as the actual bruise, which I imagine will show itself shortly. Best case seems to be 3-4 days but I've never had a debilitating injury like this so who knows. I'm supposed to not put any weight on it but I don't how the fuck that works with living alone.

Oh, I didn't realize that that area was "home" for you! Even better. Woohoo for more than one day off in row.
