Pasta is on my list of foods to avoid (wheat/gluten) and here I am back on my bullshit and enjoying pasta with carbonara sauce

I am not interested in talking about adoption with anyone whose knowledge and expertise about how adopted people feel about being adopted adoption comes from being a personal assistant (!?!??) to an adopted person.

One of the hills I will die on is that everyone should (at least) learn to use public transit to get from A to B. A shocking number of people seem not to know how to read a bus schedule or follow the directions on Google maps.
