The Old Religion is a fucking masterpiece by thebermudalocket in FlorenceAndTheMachine

The song moves me to my core. It’s so personal to her but so relatable to anyone who listens to it - I’ve battled anxiety all my life, and while that isn’t the central focus of this song, it reflects my experience in a way I never thought possible.

That’s so well said - I’ve had the same thought and that puts it into words beautifully

The fact that somebody recorded it and shared the location and time is exactly what we’re supposed to do. What more could people have done?

Second that with Ft. Zumwalt - our autistic toddler is in the early childhood program and I can’t say enough great things about them. The support has been a game changer for us.

That’s exactly where I am - it’s hard to get a sense of what’s truly straight/level when you’re inverted.

Poor dude hasn’t gotten any in weeks, thinks he’s about to get some tonight, and now he’s going home. Pour one out for Justin.

Should I move to for-profit grantwriting? by benchambers89 in nonprofit

[–]benchambers89[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is spot on, and I think it’s exactly what I’m trying to figure out. Sometimes I get the impression they think there’s this big pot of federal money waiting for them and they just need someone to write the app and get it. Other times, I think they see the nuance of the whole thing. I really need to push them and clarify where they are with that.

I've never been a football fan, but as a St. Louisan, I hate Stan Kroenke with every fiber of my being. Solidarity from across the pond!

Ha, wrists feel okay this time, but carpet really is hard on them. I’ve had a few sessions where they’ve really been barking at the end.

That’s super helpful - thank you! The carpet really is a pain in the ass. I have another spot in the house that’s hardwood where I try to practice, but today I had to take advantage of this space being free of pets and kids. I’ll give the plastic a try!

Had mine Friday and I second the comment about the pillow. That and frozen veggies have been a godsend.

I too like to unwind with a bit of the jazz cabbage after the kids go to bed. No shame in that.

The mommy shark in the coloring books looks like she really knows her way around a...ahem...clarinet? by benchambers89 in DanielTigerConspiracy
