Crossed 50k words for #novnov today and fixed the rowing machine. That's two things ive not done before #nanowrimo

53k words. Halfway thru the story. Started before November tho so I have 800 or so left in the challenge. Wish I could see well enough to print it and take a giant red marker to it lol I'll figure something out #novnov #nanowrimo

Well so far for #novnov hitting the daily word goal is a hell of a lot easier than maintaining any sort of consistent daily schedule for a set "writing time" Not one day since the first week has thst worked out.

Duke Leto: The Sleeper Must Awaken. Bucket of crabs: nah, we're good #2025

The one year I jump in and #nanowrimo is no more. Signed up for #novnov and 25k down, 25k to go. 31k total so far. imposter syndrome in full swing.

I made my cursor super chonky like in the 80s and ive never been happier!

Day 87 of 90 and my garmin deleted the workout. Now I have to start back at day 1.

Just discovered my boys playing Halo co-op. I might cry Related: The Pillar of Autumn really could've used better signage

Its one thing to have to live through enshitification, its another thing to embrace what makes it worse and call it character

It is really funny that Jimmy Kimmel Live showed more moral fortitude and adherence to a system of values than Columbia University

I love this stuff. I also really miss walking the dog www.upworthy.com/linguist-exp...

The number of documents my third grader needs to sign as part of his free yet compulsory public education seems...indoctrinatey. I hereby agree to that which I dont have a say in yet must abide by. Despite my lack of capacity to contract. Like what are we even doing

I think my silly workout program is the only thing keeping me going in these times

Apropos of nothing. Lesson I learned since leaving fb: the irl people from various eras of my life disappoint and bring me down far, far more than those who lift me up. #notworthit

TGI Yoga day #P90x3

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

This far, no further - Picard

Basically every day I think about the American people voted willingly and on purpose to make their lives worse in a free and fair election

2000 down, 98000 to go

"I dont wanna bother cuz it doesn't effect me" isnt just a non starter for accessibility, it tells me who you are.

Synchronicity is a hell of a thing.

Hi I'm new. I just forgot a zoom open mic nite for writers thru a group here in my new state cuz i was lost in backstory development. Does that mean I'm doing writing right?

Ever feel like the last five years happened to somebody else? Except it didn't obviously.

a new anti-fascist, anti-ableism protest group, tentatively named Disability Resistance, met for their 1st protest in NYC yesterday. COVID masks are required, & the protests are organized with social distancing in mind! #disability #covid

If you want to know what Trump and Musk and the oligarchs want for the United States as a whole, just look at rural communities. Hollowed out spaces with struggling schools, rotting infrastructure, no access to healthcare or daycare, and factory farms moving in.

Maybe one of us could be his like life coach or something?

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of a Black teen, and shuttered public clinics and schools. Cuomo covered up COVID nursing home deaths and harassed women. These men heard "now is the time of monsters" and decided to attempt a comeback. They both belong in hell.

Everything fascists do only makes any logical sense if what they were doing was the exact opposite of what they are doing, for example, it would make sense to send the FBI after the UFC, bc of all the likely crimes, but it makes no sense to have the UFC train the FBI abcnews.go.com/US/fbi-direc...

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Can’t believe the knives are already out in the stores. The Ides of March gets more commercialized every year.

The pen is mightier than the sword, only in that it can be used as a call to action by the many against the powerful. When all words call us to do is bang out our own response on social media, the battle is already lost.

Domestic enemies of the constitution.

Yes I do

What if we impounded our taxes this year?

Erwin employs the guy who said that torture is legal, so if he thinks Trump is doing something bad, it must be AWFUL.

I suppose that fascism was always, in a way, neo-feudalism, its method being the use of propaganda to turn the peasantry against itself and have it demand its own subjugation. This is what I hear Americans shouting: "Trample me down, crush me under your boot, so you can stop the Woke!"

Sometimes i wonder what the timeline is like in the universe where Mark Antony defeated Octavian

Sometimes I feel like I've been mourning a lost future for years

Need a list of primers and books on organizing an actual Resistance movement. One that isn't online. where you only know a few faces, and fewer names. Closest I've ever read was Heinlein years ago and I don't want to reread that libertarian moon novel again.

Motherfucker.

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

smart humans

"lol fuck you no" is an acceptable answer on all state bar exams this year to any constitutional law question
