I have no idea why people didn't have stores of fuel and generators, and stocks of food and water. Anyway here's a totally unrelated poverty map of Appalachia.
I am very sympathetic to those slammed by Helene, and I pray for their safety and recovery. At the same time, how is it that in 2024, people who live in the paths of hurricanes STILL DON'T HAVE FOOD SUPPLIES? Not even for a few days? No water supplies? No backup fuel? That seems

another parent told me that their child sees mine as a role model for calm conflict resolution, and I thought of how my child told me "I hate you! I'm going to tear off your skin and wear it like a jacket!" It's like they swap them at the door for a much better child

The highlight of my child's trip to emergency was the popsicle.
My version - we went and had to wait 7 hours for gas so they could close the wound on his brow from leaping off the bed.
His version - we went to the hospital and I got an orange popsicle and cheese and crackers

An art historian, talking about the prolific forger Eric Hebborn, said the problem is not so much that he made money and cheated people, but that his fakery permanently corrupted the historical record.

as a baker once said to me, "teach someone how to make bread, and you will have a customer for life". Sewing is so time-consuming, good fabric is hard to find, finishing is always pretty exhausting for me, It's often a great joy to buy something that someone else has sewn

Punk and Metal people also tend to have politics that are a bit further from the mainstream, and are used to feeling extremely ambivalent at best about political candidates, so what Chappell has been saying seems perfectly reasonable.

the most important thing I have learnt about being a father on mother's day, is that it's an opportunity to be an example to your child how to show that you appreciate and love their mother, and, how they can follow in that example.

My problem with CBT (which I think may work for some people) was that it felt like me trying to logic myself out of my mental difficulties, and my response was "I'm a smart overthinker, if I could rationalise myself out of mental illness, I would have already"

My basic model of student protests is that in general students don't know shit about what they're protesting against, they do it because it's cool, makes them feel like they're part of something important and they want to be with their friends.
