OK, I love you. My colleagues at the HS for Math, Science and Engineering at CCNY love you. Will you marry my colleague and his fiancee, who tried (and failed) to get an appointment to get married at City Hall on Oct. 16? I know you're pretty busy, but I thought I'd ask, anyway.... ;)

I met an actual shaved poodle today. Well, a shaved labradoodle. He is a trainee for Caring Canines at a nearby hospital (where I met him). He had a Puppy-Typical Incident and had to be shaved except for his tail which still has a big ol' floof on the end. I told him he was doing great.

Everyone! Please give me your favorite US tea shops, bonus for those with NYC tasting rooms or who let you order samples online. I am hunting a loose leaf green tea for people who don't like green tea. Two of the four people are also allergic to mint so have to be extra careful.

Is having an interview call go slightly under time but then being called back for another interview *the same day* (as in ... i had an interview two hours ago and another one in 30 minutes with the same org) a good sign or a bad sign or just confusing because my vote is currently confusing

When I became a dad, it changed the way I see the world. We need new people thinking about the future now. Lower costs. Better healthcare. Jobs. A Michigan our kids deserve. More time with each other. I’m Abdul El-Sayed, dad, and I approve this message.

My husband is extremely talented at tarot readings; I wonder if anyone would buy them over the internet to help fund our rent and maybe some groceries? Like, the man is real good at the thing and he and his long-running deck have some incredible interpretation vibing. I'm okay, but he trained me.

I just got the notification that I will need to meet the work requirement to keep my Medicaid starting in January. Medicaid, if I could be working right now, I would be.

I don’t remember whose insight this is, but it blew my mind when I first read that to understand American history you have to get that race law was designed to increase the number of enslavable people (one-drop rule) and decrease the number of claimants to indigenous land (blood quantum)

Jamelle Bouie writes: yeah this is a separate conversation but one of the things that hasn’t quite bubbled up from scholarship into mainstream thinking is that american slavery was a system centered principally on reproduction. forced birth for capital accumulation is what it was
