It doesn't really feel like July because we're getting back to back thunderstorms (change of hail and flooding). My H is smoking tomorrow's planned dinner of bratwurst today while we have sun in between storms.
Twitter seems to be functioning better though I haven't messed with it much because fuck Melon Husk.
And how is it July and 2023 is half over already?

Continuing the wet bulb temperature conversation from last week - I saw this video and thought it was a helpful introduction (thanks PBS)

DS2 turned 5 yesterday. My parents, sister, and her 2 kids decided they were coming for the weekend (uninvited and there's a LOT of animosity/bad blood surrounding their BS when DS2 was born). It was a shitshow but DS2 had a good birthday. They left yesterday and my ILs came in so we've been BUSY
It's hot/humid AF here but I'm trying to psych myself up to get signatures this evening

Maybe I’m becoming a curmudgeon but I am so over fireworks, especially now that we’d experienced the periodic bad air. We’ll be code orange air the next 36 hours from the fireworks, after we’ve finally been back in a lovely stretch of clean air.
I also just want to go to bed and it’s surround sound fireworks right now.

Thanks Nota🎃 and byjove! I was dripping sweat but I got about 65 signatures. Only one person tried to argue with me about kids reading "books with genders" 🙄 I ran into the guy I know running for mayor and we walked together for a bit, which was helpful. He also told me one of the local Dems was walking in the parade with my petition, so that's amazing. I thought he was just going to ask his neighbors. I also found out another prior board member I don't know is planning to run, so I need to do some investigative work there. |

Nota🎃 I went to school in Athens, southeast Ohio is absolutely beautiful. I wish 20 year old me was as in to hiking as 46 year old me is! I’ll be in NE Ohio in 2 weeks for my dad’s birthday. I’m going to take my boys to cedar point one of the days, hopefully it won’t be unbearably hot.

I think everyone around us settled down around 11, which isn't too bad. Usually it's later than that. |

I’m going to take my boys to cedar point one of the days, hopefully it won’t be unbearably hot. Great! How tall are your kids? We're pass holders and go often, but will also easily leave if the weather is too much. Shade structures and misting fans help a lot, but I guess you'll have to watch for that wet bulb temp thing too. They are both tall enough for the rides, ages 10 and 13, average height. We aren’t buying a fast pass because $ and because I’m not sure they’ll be interested in riding the biggest rides. They’ve never been to an amusement park before. |

Nota🎃 thank you so much for the tips! I don’t even know where to start 😂. Last time I was at cedar point the Raptor was the new, cool ride. I think they’re both 54” but I’ll measure my 10 year old tomorrow. Luckily we are going with some cousins, so we can split up if he isn’t tall enough.

No. And I'm probably not going to because I don't like that it'll link to my Instagram account. |

Oh yeah I don't love that you can't delete your Threads account without deleting your IG. That's ridiculous. Not at all shocked about the privacy shit. I like to share photos and see photos but damn do I hate how creepily accurate the targeted ads are sometimes. I swear they have learned how to read our minds now since sometimes I won't even speak about something or google it and then I'll get an ad for it.

We turned on the local news last night and the minutes long recap of how many mass shootings there were on the holiday was horrible. Then it went into news on the trial of a mass shooter. Followed by a mass stabbing.
America has some real issues.

Yeah, I’m trying to give less business to Meta, not more. I’d love the next twitter but I’m alright for now.
