I was at the plant nursery today. For reasons, my 6yo had a beetle in a jar which we had brought to be identified by a knowledgeable friend who was also going to be there. I loaded up my plants in my car and as it was hot out, packed kiddo into the car with the AC on while I helped my friend do plant tetris in her car 2 spots over.

Looked up, noticed two adults standing by my car and immediately think oh god they think i left my child in a hot car and went running back over.

Friends, my son had taken it upon himself to roll down his window and invite these strange adults to come look at his beetle. They evidently wanted to see it because they all seemed to be chatting and having a lovely time. (BTW the beetle turned out to be a lady stag beetle. She was returned unharmed to her habitat)

Been hoarding a thrifted quilt for something good. The pattern is Burnside bibs by sewhouse7

Made out of leftover quilting fabric and a reclaimed linen duvet cover! He loves them and his cousins want sushi pants now too

I'm taking a workshop on making a quilt into a coat and needed a quick one to cannibalize. I'll back it with some linen I got from a thrifted duvet cover!

My friend is a proposal manager for a non-profit. She had to advise some of her scientists to use 'non-man person' for a proposal for a grant to study breast cancer. I wish I were joking

I'm a contractor for uscis. We were ordered to change all instances of the word 'immigrant' to 'alien'. We said ok and shrugged because our systems actually use the word 'person'. They didn't say anything about that and we didn't ask

My kiddo and I are having a fruit and vegetable challenge. Each month we'll seek out a fruit or vegetable we've never tried and taste it. My BFF is trying to walk all the greenways in our county (that is county not country, low stakes! Attainabl!). How about you?

Sweeney doesn't want his games to be available anywhere but Epic's proprietary shit. Which is hilarious given his crusades against Apple and Google

Woman of childbearing age here. Lots of my friends took another child off the table when Roe fell. Being potentially forced to die and leave your existing children orphaned is a big deterrent, turns out

I was homeschooled. I 'graduated' without a valid diploma and had to get a GED. I don't speak to my parents and my child is currently enjoying his day at public preschool. All my church friends who were raised similarly also are in similar situations. That's about all I'll say about it.

That's exactly what a beetle would say
