Do y'all use any kind of special potting soil for your houseplants? This monstera is sprouting roots above the soil so I think it needs a bigger pot to call home.

With the rain and my spouse going to the office (who wfh most days) I will probably just work from here. She relocated the cat from the living room to the bed before leaving, who was sleeping nicely but is now staring at me bc she wants breakfast. I myself have a weird relationship with breakfast. I often wake up hungry but it totally subsides after a few sips of coffee so if it's not happening before coffee then I won't eat until 11 or so.

I've half a mind to bus all the barflies from town hall, HSH and city beach over there for happy hour.

Virginia's own Daniel Bachman has a new album out called Almanac Behind. He works out of the American primitive style of guitar but on this one his instrument is in conversation with weather radio, field recordings of thunderstorms and other "found sound" sources. It's very good!

Woke up all dry and stuffy from the heat being on. Guess I'm in the market for a humidifier. Seems it made my tinnitus worse too

Agreed, and this sub is great supporting evidence, there's like 5 threads every day about drivers having a bad time. Sounds aggravating and psychically damaging.

Man, I ride my bike up that block most days. On really hot mornings this summer it'd smell like fish on that block and I have wondered why. Sometimes I will still notice it but to me it was most noticeable in July/August.

Have not heard of this place. Big Chile was my nickname in highschool.

E Claiborne Robins, got the u of r biz school named after him (& a bunch of other stuff). His company went bankrupt in the 70s after a poorly designed IUD injured hundreds of thousands of women. It was called the dalkon shield. Sr died in the 90s but I imagine the family is still very wealthy (idk about powerful but probably)

Yes

I have not mastered this yet. Getting better though. I can be awake early but actually doing anything other than making & drinking coffee is a big ask. One exception is getting up early to do something fun like going fishing or hiking

Well said, I agree. I found it kind of reassuring to realize my deepest helped convictions are not actually about taste in music movies and other cultural signifiers

I've been thinking about this tweet for like two straight days

It's a psy-op. Dude is clearly a Koch bros agent planted there to instigate support for privatization.

The Hop is a Monday favorite of mine they run their happy hour specials all day on Monday. It's a pizza spot. They have a vegan cheese option.
