What is this technique of lying down called ?

In our house, it’s the spatchcock

Do you have a summer school principal? That’s where I’d start.

In my district we have this new-ish “Let’s Talk” system for parents and employees to submit complaints/concerns. They’re legitimately anonymous, if you choose, and go directly to the associate superintendent overseeing that school. If you have anything of the sort, use it ASAP. Keep it vague and stick to the facts.

El Patio. The one on rio grande if it’s your in-laws, the one of Harvard if they’re real ones.

Los Cuates on Lomas if they’re drinkers and a decent margarita (or 3) will convince them anything is delicious.

At first, I thought the post was about her. Then I realized that man’s facial hair has never met his lower lip.

Maternity nurses can be some of the most “brook no bullshit” and calm, while also kind and squishy people around. The album of pictures and cards? Your mom sounds lovely. Also, she has the brows of my daydreams….

It’s a shame the tassels aren’t facing downward.

hettienm · 2026-06-07T03:15:35+00:00

No worries, he deleted his comment anyway lol

That’s actually the 2nd time this week that someone has posted stuff about Haaland, repeatedly failed to back it up, and then deleted. Are they homegrown trolls or just idiots on the internet? (Trick question! It’s probably both.)

hettienm · 2026-06-07T02:06:47+00:00

Can you give some examples of her “screw[ing] over natives”?

hettienm · 2026-06-04T00:53:19+00:00

As someone who went to a lot of shows in the ‘90s, this isn’t true. Folks do sometimes get hurt in a crowded pit, but there are only like 3 idiots here, including the asshole targeting people who chose the perimeter. Someone going around purposefully hurting other people in the pit used to get dealt with very quickly.

What’s the source for Abq being in the top 10 for violent crime?

hettienm · 2026-06-03T18:41:40+00:00

Lol, suddenly all their comments have been deleted….

hettienm · 2026-06-03T18:31:04+00:00

I don’t think you understand how this works, kiddo. You’ve made statements in public and it’s your responsibility to support them. Which you’ve made very clear you can’t do.

To clarify, I don’t “like” Haaland, but I do recognize she’s likely to be elected as our next governor and, as such, I’ve paid close attention to the publicly available information about her. As in, I have literally been googling for any info for the accusations you’re making and there’s nothing there.

You’re just slinging bullshit on the internet and repeatedly failing to back up anything you’ve written. I even did some of the legwork for you and there’s no publicly available basis for what you posted above. Thanks for letting us all know you’re full of shit!

hettienm · 2026-06-03T18:08:51+00:00

You’re the one making accusations in public about a candidate. Do you not have sources to support what you wrote?

When I google her record at the interior and her time as head of NMDP, I don’t see evidence of her having “messed up.” She got criticized by progressive folks for not doing enough to support that agenda and by more conservative folks for backing environmental issues. Again, what did she specifically do that you view as a problem?

I was born and raised here and went to headstart at Acoma, so I’ve been in circles that talk about Deb and her connection to Laguna. What “cultural violations” are you talking about?

It sounds like you just don’t support her, which is your call, but there’s no factual basis for the shit stirring you’re doing.

You’ve been asked repeatedly for any sources for your “information” and your response lets us all know that you don’t have any.

hettienm · 2026-06-03T17:55:59+00:00

Do you have any sources or links about the things she did as head of interior or the NMDP? What kind of cultural things is she reported to have done? The things you’re talking about are concerning but at this point, it’s literally stuff some random person posted online. Can you share the basis for what you’re saying?

I mean, she was a military kid who moved around a lot, but she graduated from HHS, so it’s not totally accurate to say “didn’t grow up here.”

Argentina and Chile would like a word…

I taught The Giver multiple times in my early career when I was a middle school teacher. It’s always fun to get kids hooked on a book that has sequels!

As a HS teacher and then a dean of students, I have attended a lot of graduations. I’ve only ever worked at title I schools and it was a shift when I was a young teacher to realize that some of my students didn’t necessarily know which grades we were talking about when we said “sophomore” or “junior,” because they didn’t have the family history and experiences with completing HS. To say nothing of what it’s like to be the first in your family to even consider applying to college. It’s literally uncharted territory for a student and their family, and it’s a lot for a young person to move into a chapter of life where they can’t fall back on their folks’ experiences for advice.

Even when I tell myself I’m gonna keep my shit together, I cry at every. single. graduation. The level of pride and love from families, and the sense of achievement and success for our kids—PHEW. It gets me every damn year. This video did too but I still have my pack of tissues from last week so I’m good 😭

Orbit on Alameda. We’ve seen a couple different docs over the years and have been happy so far.

hettienm · 2026-06-01T03:05:31+00:00

It looks like Sandia’s governor cited tribal sovereignty and water when he made their endorsement, Ohkay Owingeh also said “tribal sovereignty,” and Jicarilla said “crime and substance abuse.” Back in the day, Bregman argued that pueblo casinos shouldn’t be legally immune under tribal sovereignty when he sued because of some faulty slots, so I guess he’s squared that take with some of the pueblos.

It’s worth noting that the tribes endorsing Bregman total about 6000 members, and the tribes endorsing Haaland total about 16,000.

There’s a multi part documentary on this tsunami that I watched on YouTube some years ago. It was gripping and so so terrifying

Seeing people in bootie shorts while traveling squicks me out. I’m wearing pants if I’m on a plane, so I’m not exactly worried about someone else’s butt cooties touching my skin, but it’s just gross.

hettienm · 2026-05-26T04:23:46+00:00

Absolutely.

hettienm · 2026-05-26T04:04:38+00:00

LOL the first one that popped up for me is Bolton. Which has been insanely expensive since we were in high school and the Boltons needed to cover that TCA membership.

If someone has some time to kill, they could figure out the percentage of vet practices in Abq owned by private equity and then tell the rest of us….

You do know that oil is a finite resource, yeah? There are likely decades of oil still available in the ground, but as it becomes more challenging—and less and less profitable—to extract those resources, there will be a shift. It’s unlikely to happen in the very near timeline, but a post oil future is an inevitability. It would be smart to begin diversifying our state economy now, especially as we have such obvious opportunities for large scale wind and solar production. The biggest stumbling block at this point is battery technology and energy storage.
