Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

One of the items I cleaned up was the charm bracelet my mom gifted me on my 16th birthday. I haven't worn it in a long time, but it's very special to me.

The highlight of my week is that someone on my street installed the world's cutest neighborhood library.

We’re still about $10k from having February’s bills covered. Word of mouth is the life blood of small business! Even if your tea cupboard is stocked, just letting a friend know about your fave little shop is what keeps our doors open! 🍵❤️

Now I'm tackling my gold jewelry. Washing everyone with dawn and hot water. Everybody is gonna sparkle!

After my therapy session this afternoon, I saw the silver polish I ordered got delivered. I now have very shiny silver jewelry. Next, I'll tackle the silverware.

Today I learned that Monica Lewinsky and Molly Ringwald have been good friends since 1999, and that makes me like both of them even more.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Admission is free tomorrow and the first Thursday of each month at several Seattle-area museums. The National Nordic Museum, Seattle Art Museum, and Burke Museum are all open until 8 p.m., MOHAI is free from 5 to 8 p.m., and the Museum of Flight from 5 to 9 p.m. More details at the links below.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I interact with a lot of immigrants in my work, as many of them work in the restaurants that allow me to put up posters. Some of left their long time jobs, but many of them that have stuck around are more stressed than ever before. None of them need this bullshit.

It’s just racism. There’s no immigration problem

Spending the morning with my girl before work.

On Saturday, I fell down a flight of carpeted stairs, and hit my back on the corner of a stair. I'm thankful for the carpet, but oh lordy I got some bruises and healing to do. I do not need any advice. Sympathy is welcomed, and I'm going to moan about it.

if one more influencer tries to convince me on some hot mess like cottage cheese and greek yogurt in a sweet potato while this world is doing what the fuck it is doing, I will burn this shit down

Please make it your new resolution to visit AskHistorians once a week, because we've never been this invested in overtaking another community.

For my perfume heads, if you're ever in LA and want to visit Scent Bar, I highly recommend the one on Fairfax. Definitely get there early, because I learned they get super busy. I smelled all kinds of fun things like Marissa Zappas' Flaming Creature, and Oriza L. Legrand's Relique d'Amour.

I don’t have room for more tea at the moment so I bought myself a gift card. Future me will be excited to spend this later! (If you have room for tea in your cupboard, try Free to Be Me or Genmaicha or Irish Breakfast. Those are my basics.)

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Croissant kitty.

Your girl got her hairs done today, because we still support locally owned hair dressers.

I have been thinking about all of these creepy men on the Epstein list. They had some kind of power be it through money, business, family connections, intellectual ideas but they are all collective dweebs who were either too lazy or too fucking dweeby to obtain true social appeal/skills.

Hundreds in #Seattle protest ICE at downtown #Target as the company collaborates with #ICE and is based in Minnesota.

Okay, it took me three days to finally do this, BUT! You can buy whistles from us now! I stress again that getting the whistles free is the OBVIOUS OPTION but some folks want 1-5 Kit Rocha whistles instead of 100 whistles, or to support us. So. OK! thebrokencircle.etsy.com/listing/4449...

"What did I trip on? Did someone put something down here so I would trip?!" RIP Catherine O'Hara. A one of one.

unreal that they are both gone now www.youtube.com/watch?v=fggX...

Indeed! This is the roughest season for indies, especially retail, & we already won’t make rent next week without a HUGE sales showing this weekend, so we are absolutely open today. No sales expectations, but we have set up a whistle kit building station & hope neighbors will come out to connect!

The thing about Catherine O’Hara is she is so hilarious and talented that I forgot she was mortal

Macaulay Culkin on Instagram. 😢

You're gonna disagree with some moots about all the shit going on. Some people cope with the stress through optimism and some wish Chuck Schumer to be flung into the Potomac. Try not to be too dickish to people you largely agree with and focus your anger on America's real villain, Michael Rapaport

When I was about 11, I was on a school bus full of kids, waiting in line for the ferry. We spotted a camera crew and realized they were filming something by the dock. We quickly realized James Cromwell was the one being filmed.

Love my neighbors

Every damn day @emilyscartoons.bsky.social

Our shower has been horrible for the last month. Just abysmal water pressure when you turn the knob to hot. Turns out we needed a new shower head, and the water heater adjusted. I took a celebratory shower tonight!

Been thinking about how we’re not okay here in Minnesota and how events and the state of affaires are echoing in our day to day world. A thread. cw: suicide

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom: "If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

Waiting for the bus this morning, and a guy on one of those single wheel boards went zooming past, listening to Robyn's Dancing on My Own. He was in the groove!!

And while we're at it... If you're looking for a waxer/brow person, in Seattle, I highly recommend my friend Tiffani. She's been my waxer for over 2 years, and I adore her. Great bedside manner, and trans welcoming.

I like to promote my fellow working girls! If you're in Seattle and in need of a dog walker/cat sitter, definitely hit up my friend. She's like Snow White. All the pets love her. Even the shyest of cats. She will even send you beautiful portraits.

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE: Renee Good: $1,499,580 Alex Pretti: $1,289,249 Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423 Parady La: $45,848 Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991 Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640 Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538 Geraldo Lunas: $2,260 Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

One of my favorite things I saw this weekend was the most spectacular billboard for Wuthering Heights. To be clear, I don't care about anyone's opinion on the movie or book. I just love great ad campaigns

I am currently in LA visiting my brother. I'm trying to enjoy my time here, and being present with my family, but everytime I look at bluesky on my phone, or check the news, I'm thrust yet again into the misery. I fucking hate this

I will vote for the next politician whos platform involves sending Stephen Miller to space without a suit.
