Well that’s terrifying.

Off brand Bagel Bites are a big nope for me.

I like to imagine this person realized he was close to his friend’s house, parked nearby, texted his friend, drove by the house and honked, then parked again and waited for the friend to respond. That’s my head canon.

We’re on kind of a tight budget right now, but it’s something I’ve considered.

I definitely feel like most baby boomers do not see neurodivergence or mental health challenges as legitimate. They don’t get how ADHD or depression or anxiety could cause someone to struggle so much with everyday tasks.

My husband is currently taking naltrexone, so I just wanted to hop on here and say to anyone that is considering taking it, please be careful and do your research! It’s not that the medication is bad, but you should prepare for it before you start, especially if you currently drink in high quantities. My husband went to a psychiatrist who specializes in substance use, she gave him an RX for naltrexone but didn’t provide really any resources or advice about how to approach it. The first night, he decided to drink maybe half of his normal nightly amount of alcohol - he vomited multiple times, had bad chills, etc. There’s also risk of seizures if you try to quit or taper down from alcohol too quickly. After that night, he decided that he would only take half his naltrexone dose at first and would taper down very slowly. Things have been going much better for the last few weeks. Also, you really need someone to help you stay accountable if you’re going to try an at-home detox. In our case, we locked up all of the alcohol in our house (I keep the key). And I’m in the room with my husband while he drinks a specific amount of vodka each night. Since that first night, I don’t think he’s really had any significant side effects.

I tried to use glow-in-the-dark thread for a Halloween piece and it did not work at all. I was so disappointed. Some people online suggested holding it up to a bright light for a while, I did that and still nothing 😭

I can hear in my head the “oo ooooo oo OO oo oo - oooooo ooOO.” I listened that song a bajillion times in high school.

Damn well I’m glad I got the XM4 then. They were so highly recommended everywhere I read about them online, and I think they mostly live up to the hype.

My Sony headphones for sure. I have the WH-1000XM4. I’m sure there’s something better out there but I’m not enough of an audiophile to know, lol. As bluetooth headphones go, they’re pretty solid.

You and your daughter are both so talented!

P.S. I tried to listen to Such Wonder and I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong but it wouldn’t let me listen on Spotify or Qobuz. On Spotify it’s grayed out, on Qobuz I got an error msg. It could just be my phone but I thought I’d say something in case it’s a larger issue.

My favorite part:

“I am sure some in our audience have questions for our various experts up on stage?” Ms Voigtschild said after the mud was found. There were none.

Jaws by Dizzy

It’s off their new album. The lead singer said this about the subject matter: “‘Jaws’ is a song about the expectations that come along with adulthood: marriage, buying a home, having kids, white picket fences. I have to wonder if we all truly want those things or if we follow suit out of fear and peer pressure."

For me, it makes me think about the overall experience of being female and the expectations and pressures that come along with that.

Welp, TIL that some absolute classics came out in 1993! Hard to choose, but I’m gonna have to say Creep by Radiohead.

I love her work so much.

Nap

I listened to so much Tegan & Sara in high school and college. I kind of lost interest when they put out Heartthrob, it just didn’t sound like “them” anymore. But I recently listened to some of their newer stuff. I particularly liked Hey, I’m Just Like You, which I think sounds very much like a natural progression of “old” T+S.

I’m currently digging Alpha Zulu by Phoenix.

I am ceaselessly entertained by this community. How do you even find these?

I loved seeing Purity Ring live. They know how to put on a great visual performance.

Feels Like Summer by Weezer. Too on the nose? 😁
