got some teva sandals for children that i'm digging and a shade hoodie for those really hot days when i don't wanna wear sunscreen.
went to the beach over the weekend, which echo loved! jean (little dog) hates the water, and i didn't want to have to clean all the sand out of loki's coat, hah.
new to us (15-year-old) mazda5 was awesome for hauling all three dog crates and our gear, but the AC stopped working 1/3 of the way back home, so it was a hot ride. 🥵
I have two shirts like this from (the company) patagonia and they breathe until I start to sweat about ten minutes later. If yours was better than that, care to drop a name for me to go look into?
Our boy would sympathize with Jean - he loves the beach but not the water. We still take him every so often, but he wants the smells right on the edge of the waves and sometimes the ocean sneaking up on him is just too much

i ended up getting the sahara shade hoodie from REI because it was on sale. i don't have much to compare it to, but i thought it was really breezy! i even wore it on my ~10 mile bike ride and didn't feel too bad as long as there was a bit of wind.
When Barrett was nominated, my comment was, "she is the kind of woman that would vote to make herself chattel." Anything even remotely rational from her is a win. Historically, the Court has had a tendency to make justices more liberal. They're generally smart people and exposure to well argued positions does tend to make you think.
Of course Thomas is out there besmirching the entire legal profession with his shameless acceptance of graft. I wonder if he lets Harlan refer to him as "boy."
I want to start by saying: you don't need to have a link to post to Politics! I think there's probably a subset of Beeple that prefer that anything politics related stays to that community, so they can filter it out easily if they don't want to engage with politics. My personal belief is that EVERYONE should be engaged with politics, but I know bad days happen and on those days just seeing Trump's name can push some people into a deeper spiral.
But you make a good point. For how conservative and corrupt this court is, it's surprising that they haven't been more brazen. In a lot of cases, when they haven't gone with the more politically-conservative ruling, it seems like they've aimed to reject the conservative argument on technical grounds more than anything. That said, they went scorched earth on the biggest rulings that have taken place since 2020, and to me, that says it all. They hear Congress and the President openly questioning their integrity, and they know this will lead to actual reforms of the Court if they let this continue. So they go back in their cave, and go back to making quiet little inconsequential rulings wherever possible. Then, when the bribe check is big enough or the ruling is important enough to the Conservative mission, they'll come back out swinging with a 6-3 ruling that ruins all of our lives even more.
But idk. I'm no expert, and it sounds like you are more plugged in to SCOTUS news than I am. Just some of my thoughts.
Last few days before summer break. All my final projects are in and I've got one last final exam to study for. Home stretch. Just gotta make it a few more days.
Going pretty well so far! A friend reached out this morning to see if I would be interested in receiving some plants from her (yes) so in the near future I'll get to go hang out with an amazing person, and will get to grow some new plants with which I have no experience.
And I'm giving an introductory talk about biochar at my town library this evening, which will hopefully be a bunch of fun for everyone. I couldn't come up with as many biochar puns as I did for my compost presentation, so I'm leaning on memeing for levity:https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/acf7290e-980e-4ead-95ca-7cd3797ebee4.webp
I have no idea how attendees will react to these, as most of them are retirees.
Our solo duckling is still solo, which is concerning at this stage. That said, there has been a lot of co-nesting and additional shuffling of eggs between hens which likely impacted incubation. I'll keep my eyes peeled for more chances to shove pictures of ducklings in y'all's feeds
Some northeastern US accents do something similar. Not sure the exact term for it but it is a linguistic thing. Words that end in A get turned into an R sound, like Emma sounding like Emmer.
Pretty great actually. On my first relaxation vacation with no specific agenda in several years. The beach is gorgeous, the breeze is cool and the drinks are flowing. Life can be good, sometimes anyway. Trying not to think about the work stacking up that will be waiting for me on my return.
With the right causation or correlation, the correct person is identified.
Whether right reason refers to being mad at the person for the related reason or the reason itself being valid and rightful, both are possible.
Right time is related to the cause of anger as well as when the anger takes place. Both is possible to be at the right time.
You can even be angry without any visible indication. There's also cases where an aggressive response is the right response. Proper response is possible too.
Not bad - chuffed to bits that my daughter got a 'First with honours' in English and Creative Writing. No idea what that means* apart from it's an excellent result.
*I left school at 15, before taking all my exams so that I could start work in a factory. So very proud of her ;-) Her substack is here
Suspect your daughter may be downplaying things a bit here...
She got the top result possible. Students who achieve First with honours (sometimes written as 1:1) have to be even better than excellent across their entire degree.
Some years nobody on a particular course will do this well, because it is reserved for the exceptional.
