Meadowlark 'Manda. She/her. I like birds, cats, and puns. Outside is the best side. Grant pro. Dolphins are the worst actually.
TFW your kid finds his coaster enthusiast people while waiting in line for the first ride of the day at Kings Island. They’re just yelling facts at each other.
Ick. I get the strategy. A Mandami figure can not win Iowa. A milquetoast dude who GOP hardliners can feel okay about can. And it’s a step at least. I hate it tho. His anti-trans take plus bootlicking proud fascists makes me doubt he’d represent me. I’ll vote Sand, but only b/c Lahn is worse.
Rob Sand@robsandia.bsky.social · 2d agoFor 10 years, insiders have distracted us with division & culture wars because that way, they can keep picking our pockets. I’m thankful for Iowans like Mace, and so many others, who are tired of the direction politics is going. It's time for change.
I'm a full Professor of Immunology and fully vaccinated. I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.
Remember to be kind to yourself today. You can be evil to yourself tomorrow. On Wednesday you should be kind to ducks. On Thursday the ducks will be evil to you, so watch out for that
In a hypothetical Muppet Odyssey, the no-name crewmembers should all be pigs. Then Circe turns them into humans with thick Boston accents, and we get a Matt Damon cameo.

Road tripping with kiddo. Indiana’s “Welcome Center” rest stop on I-74 certainly doesn’t make me feel super welcome with its brown water and empty brochure displays.
Here’s why I signed up 1) Support an independent artist I love 2) Do I need a keychain? No. But it’s a lil piece of joy I can put wherever so it’s fine. 3) The price point is low enough it isn’t a huge ask
poorly drawn cats@poorlycatdraw.bsky.social · last wk.2 days left… and we still haven’t reached 500 units i'd really love for this little partner to get the chance to see the world to travel in backpacks, keep keys company, sit on desks, and go on little adventures with all of you :( www.makeship.com/products/tin...

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
“Are you aware that the outside is on? Ma’am? Are you listening? Why are you not opening the door?” Percy. Again. This is a heat wave in Iowa. No. “Perhaps some of your donut then.” #CatsOfBluesky
Some pro tips from a pro grant writer doing pre-submission reviews: 1 - Answer the fucking question 2 - Follow the fucking directions 3 - Respond to the RFP you have, not the one you want 4 - For the last god damned time, need is about your CLIENTS, not you 5 - We can tell when you are faking.
Broke: AI helps doctors double check their work and “most” recommendations are safe and appropriate and it’s cheap Woke: AI replaces trained professionals in under resourced communities, furthering the incentive to enact economic injustice on already vulnerable patients

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 2w agoThe CDC recently updated its cyclosporiasis data. There are now 4,173 confirmed cases, making it the largest US cyclospora outbreak ever. 41 states have reported cases. This is just the tip of the iceberg with states reporting several thousand more cases that are awaiting to be confirmed.
Hmm. I wonder who broke the latch on my bird seed bin. No idea who it could have been. Certainly not this adorable trash panda. Not pictured: Waffles on the other side of the door ready to FITE the interloper.
TFW it feels like 100F but also there are half a dozen purple martins (including at least one baby) hanging out in your backyard for reasons that are not immediately clear.
If they always threw knees like that perhaps they’d have kept the Falkl

So basically if you play for Argentina, you can play rugby instead of soccer. And if Messi runs into you, he gets a free shot. Can this World Cup be any more rigged?
As someone who is closer to Messi’s age than most of the other guys on the field, I can attest that getting up after running into someone is really hard.
If I were playing for Spain I'd simply kick it to a part of the goal where the keeper isn't standing. Guess I'm just built different.
The easiest way to figure out which one is Messi isn't to squint to see the number 10. It’s look for the guy just casually walking around the field like a dad at a mall.
