Writing a series about a detective with a loving relationship with his unmurdered family. He solves cases by not drinking, taking time away from work, and getting a good night’s sleep.

May I offer you a borb in these trying times? 🪶

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

Men would rather collapse a government than go to therapy

TF you mean Diane Keaton is dead?! Give her back right now Lord!

I don’t care if it’s cringe, suck it up and put on the fucking frog suit

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

Pattern mixing this morning on my way to pick up native plants (with a local pumpkin spice latte and a gluten free cookie) in war-ravaged Portland.

might as well go win the whole fuckin thing

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Photos from today's walk at the Seattle Japanese Garden (thread). I was quite taken with these red leaves, dangling by a bit of spiderweb in a way that made them look like they were falling. #photography #PNW #autumn #FallColors #nature #red #31DaysOfHalloween #SeattleJapaneseGarden

it's that time of year, it's time to get your flu and covid booster shot unless you're from massachusetts then it's time for your flu and covid borcester shot

Huh. I have had “require alt text before posting” set since my very first days here. Suddenly, it’s turned off. I hit post accidentally and was able to post a photo without alt text. I think it should be required by default but I’m annoyed that it was somehow turned off.

This is my dance (seasonal edition) about how much transphobes suck

The purpose of a system is what it does.

RFK's goal is to kill children, specifically sick children. If you assumed that was *not* his goal, you'd think that he was failing at an entirely, completely different goal: not killing children.

she goes to a different school though you guys don’t know her

America 2025:

It’s really easy to joke about because things are so normal and nice here, but they really are planning on coming in and destroying it for no reason. They don’t know, or if they know they don’t care, and wow is it awful.

I will say that the more scary and bizarre their rhetoric gets it feels so weird to like, take the kids to soccer practice. Everything is normal here! Portland is especially lovely right now!

I’m afraid this is true. We don’t even have stores anymore.

we don’t have TIME to wait for you to meet all the different kinds of people to learn that everyone is just a stack of meat with a brain on top and the sausage casing isn’t the POINT. it’s some part of identity but it’s not the point. Round up your acceptance when you meet one “not you.”

Do you know how out of your mind you have to be to say Portland out of all places is a “war-torn city?”

Instant pot chili verde with my own tomatillos over rice. 🌱🍽️🍜 #FoodSky

Unlike Jesus, I have returned.

Hey, @jay.bsky.team. As a disabled person, it's disheartening to see one of the foundational pushers of alt text, a Black STEM voice, a queer advocate, and a huge voice for the disabled community gone over a poor taste joke. Having Link here is good for so many people. Please reconsider?

My new stove is finally here (induction and air fryer oven) and everyone is asking me what’s the first thing I’m going to cook/bake and I don’t have a good answer! It’s been delayed so much that I am not prepared. What would you make first on a new range?

everything is terrible, but at least it's all really fucking stupid too

My oldest stumbled upon a new-to-us cart pod on their way to sword fighting so we went there for dinner after their long sword class. I got kimchi sweet potato fries and yes I said yes I will yes. #WarRavagedPortland #Foodsky

A Pileated Woodpecker passing by overhead.

One big asymmetry that Dems enable: Republicans attack Dem VOTERS as evil, enemies of the state and now, per Trump, a problem for the military to get rid of. We have one politician who called some of them deplorables and one who said they were weird and people behave as if these are the same

And I do not feel fine

primary anybody who doesn't talk like this

Capricorn: Messages from the stars are often garbled and confusing, so hopefully ferret problems, vanishing bones, and soup disaster make sense to you.

Candy corn haters just stop reading right now. Ok, weirdos check this out. I just made a post gardening snack of a rice krispy treat spread with crunchy peanut butter and topped with candy corns and it was seasonally fantastic.

A quick bouquet from some of my dahlias that are starting to fall over after this week’s rain. #bloomscrolling #dailydahlia #flowerreport 🌱

Squee!! There was a praying mantis in one of my empty pots. We moved it to the flower bed so it would have more options and got a few good pictures before it skittered under a leaf for protection. #bugsky 🌱

The summer garden is still slowly winding down. My coleus are still so beautiful and will die with the first front. A baby butternut, still so many green beans, and a veritable forest of fading dahlia. 🌱 #gardening #foodsky

My corniest take is that it genuinely helps me to remember this is the country that invented soul and blues, so there must be something worth saving about it, and 2025 is as good a time as any to become invested in this topic if you’re not already

being trans, being fat, being disabled -- these things will teach you who people are in their heart of hearts, often within seconds of meeting them.

Last night I dreamed I was trying to get one of my bsky mutuals to try my homemade goat cheese. First they said they couldn’t have dairy; I tried to convince them that goat dairy is much easier to digest. Then they said really they didn’t like it because it’s too goaty. What will I dream tonight?

I get beside myself angry when I think about how a presidential candidate repeatedly fucking said he’d be a dictator and the press response was ha ha that rascal I’m sure he probably doesn’t mean it

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

Ok, we saw @alexfalcone.bsky.social and he’s just a delight. I’ve really enjoyed his online videos series including Unfun Facts, Is It A Scam (Yep) and marketing for unpopular animals, etc. And he is a really good very smart standup comedian. And a sweet guy who was really friendly after the show.

I am going to see a comedian tonight and it doesn’t start until 9:30 AT NIGHT. I cannot fathom what I was thinking when I bought these tickets. I bought them for a version of me that has never existed. Or at least not for 20+ years. I am tired just thinking about going. It’s a *school night* ffs!
