really living the dream of this silly post i saw on tumblr: @littlesystems.bsky.social and i have worked together in not one, not two, but THREE different jobs, holding hands in the accounting department.

sorry but i just cannot see ilya rozanov as a like "safe sane consensual" kinda dude. that man isn't an experienced daddy dom, he's a fucked up bisexual disaster. and i desperately want more of that.

DC residents have been refusing to call that airport anything but National for almost thirty years, we certainly can refuse to call that arts center anything but the Kennedy Center for three

absolutely desperate for a 24-episode-season monster-of-the-week television show featuring flawed, messy characters. i also want it to be also absolutely rife with queer-baiting. sending a hope out into the universe 🙏

i cordially invite you to steal a piece of our house vernacular: Suffering from the Expectations™ do you know someone who sets themselves up for emotional failure for an event/experience/etc when they don't investigate what they want or communicate their own expectations?

people are addicted to saying EST/PST/etc. when it's currently daylight savings. like bro, just say ET/PT! unless you're in a part of the country that doesn't observe daylight savings, drop the s or d out of your timezone, PLEASE

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

Two years ago I planted ramp bulbs in my garden, knowing that ramps are notoriously difficult to cultivate and they’re typically forage only. Last spring, they actually grew! And this year, not only did they regrow, but I have TWO wild-seeded baby ramps growing alongside them!

some Office Advice™: work on your communication skills & learn how to advocate for yourself professionally. mostly because it's good to be able to articulate your needs, but partially bc it's embarrassing when your 40 y/o coworker won't advocate for themself in the lowest stakes situation possible.

dc cherry blossom miku... if you get it you get it!

Just spent 10 minutes staring intently with predator’s focus at a rustling pile of leaves, hoping to see a Creature™

…this is insane????

so, knowing next to nothing about either baldur's gate or dragon age, @littlesystems.bsky.social and i had a whole conversation where we were talking about emmrich and astarion like they were the same character

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

i like waking up with total confidence knowing i will not die in an underwater cave or in proximity to mt. everest. there's a lot about the future you cannot predict, but it's nice to definitively know those are ruled out

If other government agencies join Bluesky and become your favorite agency just remember who was here first and who has two eagles in their logo.

sorry to everyone who's followed me here. I will not post anything interesting and that's a promise

a small psa for writers: "a few moments" and "a few minutes" are very different amounts of time with very different vibes. specifically, a few minutes is a really, really long time for certain things. choose wisely.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #430,791!

i was gonna make fun of the harris-walz logo for being so boring but then i read that the typeface was chosen as a tribute to Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman to run for president, and i've gotta be honest you've really got me cornered here. whatever, i'm clicking post anyway

I am a single-issue voter and that issue is "never having to think about or listen to Donald Trump ever again for the rest of my life."

bsky user @littlesystems.bsky.social at the garden center when told the native plant she's looking for doesn't exist:

2002: kinda creepy that everything we put on the internet is there forever 2024: i wish i could read anything I wrote before 2015 3024: we call the period from 1900-2100 “the dark ages” as paper had acid in it and later they trusted their writing to something called a cloud. Very little is known.

the receipts here are completely thrilling to me, as a connoisseur of actual product research (Wirecutter alum), but also it's very sad what's happening to sites that cuts through the bullshit online, and that Google has no handle on things at all housefresh.com/david-vs-dig...

I think before we get too caught up in what Bluesky should or shouldn’t be we should soberly acknowledge what it is: a retirement home for 2000s forum millennials

You *really* need to see the side-by-side comparison to fully appreciate the differences. Especially if you don't get why people are saying that the Kissinger statement is cold.

pov: you're a regional cryptid about to have the worst day of your life

i'll be real honest with you. this email finds me wishing you had read the previous email

Hey Americans, feeling politically powerless? You have an election tomorrow. Fascists are targeting those boring state and local positions and using them for everything from abortion restrictions to book bans to criminalizing trans healthcare. It's up to you to stop them.

Yes, we made $80 billion profit last year, which was 149% up from the previous year. But our target was 150%, so as a result, we are laying off 50% of the workforce and replacing all our raw materials with cardboard

While gardening I’ve been slowly working on replacing non-native plants the previous owners put in the gardens with local natives and I got my first monarch caterpillar! I officially have a little guy!!

"i wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy" i would. that's the point of having a worst enemy. grow up and hate people like an adult

idk man that honestly sounds like none of my business
