Chyron or lower-third is what you call the labels on the bottom of a newscast.

David, what the actual fuck? I am so sorry Matilda's been put through the ringer like this.

shrift, if it's any consolation, it could be worse - I saw a story about a man who set his house on fire trying to get rid of a jillifont

Oh David, I can only imagine how frustrated you all must be.

Happy askye day!

Uuuugggghhhh, shrift. I'm sorry. That is most unfortunate.

I can barely comprehend that, Hec. No placement at all? Poor Matilda, that is awful. Why such a mess, SF school system? I mean, I'm sure there are well documented reasons and I don't really want to know what they are at this point, but OUTRAGE

Boooooo spider! Booooo SF school system!

Happy birthday askye!

Wear your skates.

SERIOUSLY! She played roller derby with me. When C found out what happened, he said, "Does this a-hole know he just pissed off an entire roller derby team?"

I am personally feeling dead-eyed and defeated after the latest round of SFUSD not placing Matilda in a high school at all.

WTF?

Happy Birthday, askye!

Happy Birthday askye!

My kid cried for days because he swallowed his first loose tooth and the Tooth Fairy wouldn't come.

I did the same with my first tooth. I was inconsolable about not having the tooth to put under my pillow in exchange for a quarter. Meanwhile, the fact that the tooth loss was precipitated by me getting smacked in the face by a piece of rebar (which split my lower lip and made it swell up like a frankfurter) was completely forgotten.

How does Matilda not get a high school?

Thanks for all the wishes .

Mom came down and we sat outside... it's 60F!! And so I had to get her a blanket which we sprayed with Lysol and then at the end she had to use the bathroom. I hadn't anticipated that for some reason. So I sprayed everything she was going to touch and she was in and out as quick as possible.

No hug even though I wanted to but that isn't even attempting to social distance.

We kept masks on even outside for the most part.

This really sucks.

Although I saw her and that was nice. When Ican hug mom again I'm not going to let go for a long time.

I got some clothes which will help fill out my work wardrobe.

Matthew told me this morning my present was going to be a trip to the drive in. But he realized it's an hour away the movie starts at 9 and it's only on the weekends when I have to be at work the next day. So there is some back up gift that is in the works

Happy Birthday, askye!

Hec, I'm sorry Matilda's high school placement has been so upsetting. I remember the timing of her not getting into the school she wanted. Your family deserves a break.

meara, congrats on the impending puppy! I have a dog, but she was a young adult house trained rescue, so I don't have much specific advice.

I know puppies need a lot of attention (which, as long as you're home, shouldn't be too hard, because PUPPY!), and you have to be consistent in house training. Do you know the people you're adopting from?

In other news, here's an old PSA for those who see something that looks like a tooth.

Toddson, that's hilarious. I will show him later.

(I also greatly enjoyed Ted Cruz bringing a knife to a Ron Perlman gun fight as it played out on Twitter, yesterday.)

Tallk me off the ledge. A friend of mine was the victim of a racist incident, which she posted about and a friend of hers responded with "All lives matter." "Don't let one bad apple cloud your judgement."

I am ready to burst into the thread and start verbally eviscerating him.

Are humans really this garbage?

Are you fucking kidding me? I would not have been here to talk you off that ledge.

Amen.

Cashmere, the wrong person is/was on the ledge, though.

Jesse, I responded to him. I couldn't let that pass. No response.

I want to kick him in the head.

...so that he falls off the ledge, yes?
