If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Today in "For the love of god, WHY" news, I give you Creamed Corn-flavored Oreos

Even though I was rooting for the Blue Jays, this has been the best World Series I can remember since 1986. Congrats to both teams!

Unreal, the last two plays. Just nuts.

I don't know how you could ask for more from a #worldseries. Great, great baseball.

I've now successfully replaced the internal battery in my laptop. My godhood continues. As does my laptop.

Well SOMEBODY woke up! #bluejays #worldseries

I see the #worldseries is continuing its streak of horrible anthem singers. Good lord.

Southerners, here are a couple of orgs that can help if your #SNAP benefits are being cut off: --Gopuff is donating up to $10 million in free food (see link below) --New Disabled South is handing out one-time payments to disabled individuals and households (apply at ndsdj.org/snaphealth)

How did we ever make it without having to enter 6-digit codes umpteen times a day?

Man, there's nothing like a good hot chocolate on a cold, rainy day.

Please consider donating to your local food bank if you can. It's going to get ugly this week, and we need to be helping each other. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

Seriously though, why do smoke alarms chirp at 2 in the morning, not at 9 am when I've had coffee and I'm actually awake?

I have successfully replaced my laptop keyboard. I am a god.

Today in Fashion Terms that Amuse Me, I give you: whimsigoth For all you lighthearted vampires out there, I guess

Really really grateful to be able to spend a weekend with my kid, just the two of us, doing fun things with absolutely no expectations. But including a #no_kings rally.

"Embolize" is a word, @nytimes.com Spelling Bee. Harrumph.

Way to go, NC! No, if the other states join in, we might have a functioning nationwide public health system again.

I love being in the happy position of having several favorite authors *and* being able to preorder the next book that's coming out. O, happy day! (@seananmcguire.bsky.social, @marthawells.com, Tana French, Becky Chambers, @scalzi.com, and @travisbaldree.bsky.social, if you're wondering.)

Well, this is scary af

It's "put the big comforter on the bed and get completely burritoed" season. My favorite time of year!

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand. Liver Triangle of Sadness Last Christmas

What are author guidelines?

You know, people roll their eyes when I tell them I join every single class-action suit I'm eligible for, but I just got $400 and change from one of them. Just saying.

I love baseball. That is all. #mlb #octoberisawesome

I loved every word of this sweet story, and I wish I could have had such elder women in my life. Do yourself a favor and read it.

Both upstate NY and central NC feel right to me (the places I've lived the longest), as do northwest NJ, the SF Bay area, central MA, and RI.

Some photos from hiking today #gooutside

Here's your daily dose of joy! #longliverockandroll

Aaron Judge is THE MAN. That is all. #mlb #postseason

Co-signed. I made the switch for all my book purchases and haven't looked back. Help your local indie bookshops and get something great to read from these guys!

I just had the absolute joy of cancelling my COBRA coverage as of the end of October, because I'm finally eligible for Medicare. My premium will be about *half* of what I've been paying, which makes no sense from an actuarial standpoint. But I'm not complaining. #medicareforall #universalhealthcare

And I was so happy to be eligible for Medicare Part D in a month, too.

Well, this is depressing af #werenumberone #economy #welfare

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep: 1. Academic/scientific publishing and why it sucks 2. Battlestar Galactica (the revamp) 3. Various approaches to treating anxiety, (c)PTSD, and depression

You've gotta marvel at the sheer nerve, after the past week. cordcuttersnews.com/disney-annou...

This is disgusting.

I'll be preordering this the second it goes online. In addition to being one of the best series of all time, if it weren't for #BSG, I never would have met my husband. #sosayweall

If this trend continues, I might have to plant some trees just so I can keep having my favorite apple :-(

"All this country needs is one leader of industry, just one, to tell this administration to go f—k itself." #fascism #censorship

Cancelled Disney and Hulu today. If DISNEY, with all the $$ in the world (plus a past record of creating anti-Nazi work), won't resist #fascism in the U.S., I don't need to be supporting them. Apologies to HBO Max for getting caught in the bundled crossfire.

"Clonic" is a word, Spelling Bee. Harrumph. #nytimes

You have 2 days left to get the Covid vaccine, if at all possible. All bets are off after that. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

I got my booster earlier this year. How about you?

Never thought I'd see an aurora borealis in *Virginia*!

Sign outside the local wine bar: Tinned Fish Available I have questions.

I got mine (along with my flu shot) yesterday at a CVS in North Carolina. Never thought I'd see the day when vaccinations = rebellion. #provax #vaccines #rfklooneytunes
