Opinion haver. Those opinions are entirely my own. Puns intended. 50% stream-of-consciousness nonsense, 50% earnest commentary. Okay, maybe 80-20. LSG.

Teen started classroom driver’s ed tonight with a company whose instructors are all cops. I told him he should refuse to answer any questions and when they ask him what’s up, say “my parents told me never to talk to cops.”

Came to Philly to move the college kid to a new place and scored a parking spot right in front of the apartment we’re moving him out of 🏆

one thing that's extremely important when you go to costco is to stop 4 feet from the entrance and get organized while several would be shoppers wait behind you. not a lot of people know this.

Just saw 2 middle aged guys jogging, 1 w/ giant fake boobs. I didn’t stare or comment. If that’s his thing, that’s cool, but he cheerfully called out “it’s a Dolly Parton run!” I was glad he explained before the guy with watermelon-size boobs came by bc i would have been so confused at that point.

Where is my prize for keeping a straight face in tonight’s Planning Commission hearing when a city staffer said, “Butts Alley is pretty tight back there”?

Does this new piece look blue or purple to you? I thought I ordered blue threads but it seems very purple to me. Anyway, this ruffly blurple gradient is made of 56 individual circles of hyperbolic crochet in 5 shades of thread on a 1.5mm hook. 1st photo: Sophia Allder-Stephens #crochet #fiberart 🧶

Necklace made of ruffled crochet pieces in a gradient from dark blue-violet on the outside edges through periwinkle to pale violet-gray in the center. It is displayed on a black velvet necklace stand in the Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery in Alexandria's Torpedo Factory Art CenterBlue/purple ruffly necklace lying against a background of green stripes

Working on a Women-Owned Small Business Certification and what the hell is this on the sba website? Why do they need to know what kind of white a person is? Why are these the only options?

Mandatory screen requiring me to say what kind of white I am. The choices are english, italian, german, polish, irish, scottish, other

A(nother) city employee appreciation post: Today I had to stop by Del Pepper Center to fix a business license snafu of my own making. The person was friendly and super helpful (and not judgey). I was in and out within about 10 min and got the email with my new license less than an hour later. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everyone chiming in like they’re trading Chuck Norris jokes, but it’s stories about Dolly being awesome and they’re all true.

No challenge like trying to get teenagers/young adults moving before midafternoon in the summertime. I just texted them both "wake up your brother" in hopes that one of them will comply.

Public comment just closed for the giant cultural plan I wrote, so today I girded my loins and waded in. We had the usual complement of 1) people who didn’t read it but are mad we didn’t include x, which is, in fact, included; 2) people mad their tax $$ is being used for anything; and 3) racism 1/
