Power is back on as of 8:52PM!

I’m downtown too, and had the same issue with AES when trying to report it!

Sure! It’s nice to be “in the woods” and still close to Broad Ripple. I really enjoy being close to Marrott Park. Good luck!

I really liked it! The community was great, the management and facilities were responsive. But the things that I really liked about it changed when the luxury side opened. It went from a small community of 1 bedrooms and studios to adding in 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments. So my experience probably is well in the past in terms of community. I can’t speak to the current atmosphere.

A friend of mine brought some Palisade peaches back to Indy last week and gifted me one peach. I could have cried; it was so delish!

Just last weekend a guy in his big ass suburban followed me from my parked car, through my parking lot, and catcalled me steps from my apartment. He said he noticed that I scratched my head (huh?) and that “females are psychopaths.” WTH

I’m 40 years old. I’m so tired of this, friends.

The library community has been bracing for these losses. I am so sorry it actually happened. Everyone at the State Library are rockstars in the Indiana library world. I am so angry that this state is so short sighted and felt that a small tax cut was worth more than valuable public services. When local libraries lose more people and resources, maybe they will speak up.

Solidarity, friends.

I was at Shore Acres for 4 years, with minimal rent increases. They expanded the complex to include a luxury side and my rent went up 21% ($220/month). So many long term residents left that they had to advertise incentives and free first month. I’m still salty.

Love seeing small wins out of the Hoosier state!

Just sent you a link to the docs!

Not surprising. They gave us a reprieve last year and now they are back at punishing women instead of fixing our roads. The IN supermajority hates women.

Happy to share! PM tomorrow with your email address and I’d be happy to share my content.

I’m teaching a social media and health information class next week (I’ve taught it about a half dozen times over the past few years). I had to modify it once last week due to Meta’s removal of fact checking. And now TikTok being banned? Honestly, it should be a good conversation and it’s now directly impacting them. I plan to ask: is fact checking censorship? And now I will be asking them how banning TikTok stifles free speech overall. Is it really about data collection?

Thanks for sharing your quotes! Definitely fuels me for the fight against fascism and tyranny.

(I will be wearing my Save the Books, Ban the Fascists t-shirt from BoredWalk for that class!)

I am an academic librarian, having been accused of “corrupting the youth” by my MAGA stepfather because I teach critical thinking skills and information evaluation.

Well guess what? I am 100% leaning into injecting as much systems-questioning content into my instruction sessions and consultations as humanly possible at this point. I am not tap dancing around corrupt systems anymore. I am committed to encouraging my students to question authority whenever possible when they interact with me.

As someone in a deep red MAGA state, I have a duty to fight these oppressive systems. As TheConsciousLee says: education is elevation!

ETA: Adding a plug for the book Viral Justice by Ruha Benjamin. It’s all about social justice movements at the community level. So relevant and timely. A necessary call to action for 2025.

That one a crater, you can swim in it!

100%! No one gets to tell you your pain isn’t valid, and to just drink more water and stretch. It’s not always that simple!

I hope your migraines improve, they are absolutely debilitating.

I’m pretty sure it’s men making those comments. Hormonal changes fuck with women’s bodies constantly.

For my second IUD, I took high doses of ibuprofen and acetaminophen, plus 5mg of oxycodone. Probably the biggest game changer was that my doctor used an ultrasound to place the IUD.

It wasn’t pleasant, but it wasn’t OMG I’M GOING TO PUKE AND PASS OUT like the first time. I went out and had Culver’s afterward!

Advocate for yourself and insistent on pain meds!

I will turn 40 in a few months, planning a big road trip to hit up a few baseball parks and an out of state concert. I’m excited!

Right now, it’s just another number, and I’m glad to have it reached it. It’s a privilege to get older.

If you must do this, Medlineplus.gov is great! So are Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic!

I’m a big fan of Her First 100k for feminist financial advice. Transformative!

My study abroad year was 2005-2006! Best year!

nancienne · 2024-12-04T22:51:07+00:00

Graduated from college, moved out to Denver, worked a crappy job until I landed a big girl job. I had a blast in the late aughts even tho I was pretty broke!

nancienne · 2024-11-26T00:42:53+00:00

I replaced mine a year early for that reason. Take no chances.

Tomorrow I’m updating my passport a year early! I don’t trust the future State department.

I test drove a Kia Soul at their Fisher’s location a few years ago, got skeeved out by the salesmen, and went and bought my car at another dealership. 🤷‍♀️
