I rode the subway and bus from Logan Airport to Worcester, heading back to college after winter break. I had trouble understanding the announcers on the T so asked strangers to help me know my stop. I think they knew the story because I had my luggage with me. They felt like... I don't know. Tolerant indulgence of my inexperience?
I get where you're coming from with wanting a softening in the criminal justice system, I really do, but that's too much drug dealing to pardon. Shorten the sentence, maybe, but clear the slate? Dude was part of a bigger system, not a kid caught with a bag of pot.
And that much weed is still illegal to possess in my state without the proper paperwork.
You can probably get access through your local public library, if you're on their Wi-Fi. OED has been like this for as long as I've been paying attention. Source: librarian and before that was annoyed at OED, but now I'm almost always on work Wi-Fi if I'm looking something up, so it's invisible to me.
Thanks. I did talk to my doctor about the low B12 and she said that it was a combination of low baseline B12 and a new medication I'm on that further depletes my B12. So, supplements are my friend.
(Also, low B12 feels wicked weird, all sorts of odd nerve stuff in my hands was my clue, and it cleared up quickly after I started supplements.)
I eat a low-meat diet. I started with not eating pigs (too smart), then only eating meat one day a week, then I cut out cows because they're just giant puppy dogs. I'm down to mammal flesh maybe 3 times a year (generally sheep or goat) and fish or poultry more often.
I'm not fully vegetarian because I already have a history of restrictive dieting, so I don't want to start reading food labels for surprise chicken broth or whatever. However, I'm vegetarian enough that I have a vitamin B12 deficiency if I forget to take my supplement.
Anyways, what I'm trying to say is even if you're not perfectly vegetarian or vegan it's still better for the environment than having a steak every night, so baby steps if you need it.
My fingers are crossed for a Walz/AOC ticket.
I also have a friend that moved to Sweden to live with his girlfriend and her husband. You're not him because he made the baffling decision to visit his folks in the US this month. (I want to hug him and be like "have you read the news lately?!" but talk of violence is a hard limit for him, so I just avoid talking politics at all with him and it's very frustrating, since current politics is both Very Relevant to me and Very Violent to me. /rant )
Sometimes I think I'd prefer physical abuse instead of the constant emotional stuff that makes you doubt yourself decades later. Like, my therapist tells me it was bad but they're a therapist, isn't that what they'd say? Mommy Dearest told me no one beat me so it's not abuse. Abuse is complicated.
I'm a queer librarian. I'm on a list somewhere.
I'm team quick shower or long bath (soaking my sore back is lovely). I had a roommate with undiagnosed narcolepsy that would fall asleep in the shower in college. She didn't lock the door and we had standing orders to just wake her up if we needed the shower.
My partner takes forever to brush out his lovely, long, curly hair. He also leaves a tribble and a half in the hair catcher.
Go all Cadaver Synod on him?
