  • For real though, my husband has eczema mostly concentrated on his hands and they get real torn up in the winter especially. If it gets really bad, we’ll get him a pack of latex gloves, he slathers on Vaseline and then I help him get the gloves on, and then he sleeps that way. It’s the only thing that manages to make a significant difference. It’s not comfy but sometimes his fingers bleed so we gotta do something.




  • My husband follows a Facebook group that’s something about “Silicon Valley reinvents the bus” (meaning shuttles) or something like that and it’s a gold mine for the shit these self-centered, egotistical tech bros think. My husband is an engineer, and I work in the arts so very much two different worlds, and I find most of the people at his staff parties to be completely out of touch with the way regular people live. Some of them have good intentions but are very much in their own little bubble.

    Anyway I’m glad this is on hold. I hope it fails. They need to reinvest into existing communities, although somehow without furthering gentrification… ugh, it’s complicated.




  • We’re in exactly the same place. My M3 at least has radar, but I have had an incident with autopilot when it slammed on the breaks thinking a merging truck was coming into my lane (it wasn’t) and I mean it really braked hard. Thankfully it was midday, not rush hour, and no one was behind me for a bit. I didn’t like relinquishing control in the first place, but now I’ve sworn it off and I only use the cruise control without the lane assist, when I use it at all.


  • We bought a Tesla nearly six years ago and this was why. He wasn’t quite such an obvious raging asshole at the time, but also we were hoping to signal with our wallet that we wanted manufacturers to step up EV production. Which they did. I’m happy with my car but if I had to replace it, I’d look at other options. Although I feel like my M3 is the only smallish car option on the market right now; everything is a freaking crossover and that’s not what I want to drive all the time.
