Which is part of why we are homeschooling our oldest and looking to move to the other side of the river where Minnesota at least has state supported virtual school options...

What Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood and Libraries Have in Common What Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood and Libraries Have in Common

Some are now friends, some are acquaintances, most just briefly moved parallel in place and time.
And, disclaimer: One of those new people DID end up becoming my partner. 🥰

FWIW - giving up stressing about meeting "the one" and deciding to take care of me was the best move ever. I went to grad school in Hawaii and met a bunch of new people.
It gave me the pleasure and freedom to just learn and meet people, without any expectations of any kind of relationship.

Ugh. 🤬

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”

As a parent AND as a Librarian...mind your own damn kids!!

Puppy ears are all that are visible (center of photo) of a dog attempting to hide from the evil nail clippers.

How my dad's pup (our former foster-pup) feels about getting her nails trimmed...

Always fascinated when discoveries like this continue to prove that the Americas were rich in peoples and cultures long before the Europeans showed up.

Delighted to report that my husband's reaction to readinv this was an appropriate amount of horror complete with retching and shivers of disgust.
