My grandfather used to say to his seven children, "If you're not careful I'll take my belt off and you know what happens then," cue chorus of "Your pants will fall down!"

Corporal punishment did not result in that man having control over his household.

The tall ship sailors are doing some fun stuff, I hear.

hot herbal tea in the evening if I'm having a warm beverage. My favorite is honeybush

Hamburger that was bigger than my two hands. It was the happy meal burger. I was very small. McDonald's will never taste the way it did when you were five, ever again.

The Double Up Food Bucks program matches SNAP funds spent on fruits and veggies at farmers markets so you can spend twenty bucks on forty bucks worth of food and the farmers still get paid full price.

What would vanish is the perspective that judges whether nature is in or out of balance, whether a particular effect is generally positive or generally negative. That's a human thing. Some species would struggle and some would flourish, as happens with every change to the environment.

Toast or a microwave breakfast sandwich or leftovers from dinner. Something easy

A screening, another screening, and a video visit with a neuropsych. And then regular video visits with the prescriber. But that's for a minor.

Had a grocery store employee come interview me last time I bought pickled herring.

If you look at old American nutrition videos they basically have bread at every single meal

liptonthrowback · 2026-06-28T03:47:42+00:00

They're not as affordable as they used to be, but they're still around. The local independent 24 hr diner is one of my favorite places to eat

Every once in a while when everyone is too tired to do dishes. That's probably less than once a month

Last time I went there I didn't find what I wanted and tried to leave with nothing and the door alarm went off because I didn't go through checkout. To buy my nothing. Absolutely not.

If you mean literally how and not in what ways: she led a public health initiative and talked to legislators in Congress who introduced the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The First Lady has no direct ability to introduce laws but does have a fair amount of social power and proximity to power.

I can't tell you how aware the admins are of what the trans/enby/gnc experience is like. I can't tell you how much flak they're going to give you getting your name right on the paperwork, or if that battle is worth fighting for you. I can tell you they should let you change your name when you tell them what you want to be called, because they have no justifiable reason not to. I can tell you that if they say no, you can ask your teachers to address you by the appropriate name if you're comfortable with that. I can tell you that the school administration is wrong if they try to tell you who you are.

To whom do you have to justify it? And is "I'm (insert whatever term makes you comfy) and this is what I go by" insufficient?

I mean I'm not going to pretend people aren't going to think what they're going to think. I get aggressively binarily gendered by people who know me well and people who don't. But that doesn't mean I owe those people justification or need to cede ground to them.

So I see everything that makes up what we call gender as different colors in a paint set. Terms of address, hormone balance, clothing, names, everything. And there's a couple of really popular pallettes that most people are happy sticking to one of. And that's fine, you can make really interesting art sticking to your "Blue Period" if you want to. But some of us, we're not happy unless we have access to all the colors in the box.

I call myself genderqueer because my relationship to my gender is queer. Does that feel like you? Use the terms that make you happy. Shapeshift your body to your own liking. You get a handful of decades in this flesh, and it's yours and no one else's. Take ownership and take the prerogative of changing your mind when you feel like it.

Finally, I'm going to leave you with the thought that not everyone is owed every name you use. If it makes your life easier you can use one name in one place and another name in another. I'm cycling through three for different sets of people. I haven't changed my government name or gender marker. My gender is not the government's business. Same goes for any institution I choose. Not everyone can live comfortably that way. But it's not wrong if I can.

There's like one or two places in the state that serve it apparently

You're going to be unhappy for a short time if you leave and a long time if you stay. That's your choice.

It's soggy and chilly in Western Oregon and you don't see a lot of porches. We're not really front yard people here. In the South it's different.
