If I die from a heart attack please track down everyone who asked me ridiculous questions on marketplace. Thank you.

Me: My partner is in X area only Tuesdays and Thursdays in the evenings. Them: So he’s not there Wednesday morning? Me: No maam. We literally live an hour and a half away from that location. He is not there in the mornings on a day he has no need to be there

Wait. It gets better. They said that they thought when I said he was teaching to 11:00 on Tuesday, I actually meant he was teaching Monday night until 11:00 pm. Because you know those late classes.

Someone on fb marketplace is upset they can’t contact me partner before they pick something up from him in half an hour… when I told them he was TEACHING directly before. Like sure. He’s just going to pause his class and answer your texts. Get real.

I don’t drink alcohol. I hate it and never have. I know a lot of people like that. Don’t assume someone is an alcoholic or pregnant just because they’re not drinking. I am sharing this not because I don’t want you to assume that about me but to protect those who are and don’t want to be outted.

An economy that relies on exponential growth in a world of finite resources is doomed to fail. Especially when so many of the resources it wants us to buy are harvested through incredibly toxic mining practices and slave labour

I 100% agree and would add that if you are hosting a holiday event and you do NOT have something festive, creative and delicious for your guests to drink without alcohol in it, you are actually an asshole don't make them drink tap water while everyone else has bespoke cocktails!

This makes me physically ill. It also makes me glad I’ve been able to keep my client, a man from Venezuela, from being sent out of the country.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

This is typically an issue solved by a meat thermometer and taking it out 3 degrees below what’s safe and letting it rest for 30 mins since it continues to cook.

Someone on marketplace: Will you take less for your Xmas tree ornaments? Me: Sure $5 off. Them: Okay but you see I have been infertile for 6 years and I’m now pregnant and unemployed and I need them for a pink and blue tree. Me: Did you just use the struggle with infertility for free… ornaments?

Why does so many takes on ‘modern’ Christmas trees just look like butt plugs. Was there no one on their team who said, “hey, don’t these high end holiday trees were designing kind of look like butt plugs??” This is from Crate and Barrel.

It is abhorrent that the President just threatened death upon members of Congress. We must condemn all threats of political violence, especially when they come from someone who has incited a violent attack on the Capitol.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Two people literally clapped in response to my ideas in meetings today because they liked them so much. Different meetings and spontaneously. Feeling appreciated. lol.

One of my co-workers complimented me today by saying that my working style and level of organization is very German. He is German. I was touched by that. lol.

happy trans day of remembrance. you are beautifully and wonderfully made and I will never stop fighting for you. the world is better because you are in it

AI will never replace novelists. If you think that, you don’t understand what novels actually are. And you also don’t understand what AI is capable of.

Eating nachos in the bath tonight like a true legend.

I now own this. Because who doesn’t need an antique silver coffee pot that has been made into a whimsical lamp???

My partner and I got into a fight because he made a smoothie for himself with ingredients I can’t eat despite knowing I was about to leave & hadn’t eaten Mid fight, he takes a banana & then gives me the most absurd banana sales pitch I’ve ever heard. I start laughing. He’s so serious. Still at it.

People talk about trauma being bad because of dissociation but man, I wish my trauma had made me better at it because I’d really like to be able to dissociate around work stress on the weekend. Is that so much to ask?

I listed my Xmas ornaments for sale as I’m changing my theme and colors. Someone messages me saying those are their school’s colors and can I donate my $40 ornaments to their school since their Christmas trees have no ornaments. I think that Christmas ornaments at a public school are not a NEED

My partner: we moved to a bigger place. I’m a bit surprise you’re only planning one Christmas tree. Me: Challenge accepted.

I just sneezed really hard while turning a corner on tile and I almost slipped and fell. Lol. How’s your day going?

Every year, I get an email from Norma and Daniel inviting me to the Deslippe family Christmas and telling me I have to bring a side. One problem: I have no clue who these people are.

“oh no if it isn’t the consequences of my actions”

Zohran’s win offers the Bay Area a glimpse at a better future — one where we’re not locked in a room with Gavin Newsom for another four years.

I want to start refinishing furniture (in the preserving the wood way, not the I’m an asshole who paints wood furniture way) so I’m buying all the different types of sanders in auctions. I will be able to sand the world!

My partner and I got into an argument because I could not explain to him why the meaning he wanted to give something was either impossible or illogical based on conversational context and norms. The tragedy of being an English major.

People can't pay their bills. No one gives a f*** what your bathroom looks like.

LAPD on horses charge at and beat guests standing in line to the Short Stop in Echo Park. @shoton35mm.bsky.social

I bought something in an auction that also had metal eagle in the lot and my partner and I are now debating if they’re Nazi eagles or not. I am pretty sure they’re American pre- WWII?? That’s what Google told me before I bought the lot. I checked. But what if I bought Nazi eagles??

I have had to hide the Halloween candy from my partner. He will now get a daily candy ration. Like a five year old. lol.

If you stay up late enough tonight you can actually time travel

When Jacobin and the Pod Save bros are aligned on defending nazi tattoos, we’ve got a problem and it’s not going to be solved by you coming into my mentions and telling me I’m not seeing what I’m definitely seeing— which is white people left, right, and center coming together to defend Nazi tattoos

Everyone get ready to start taking vitamin D

Trans people warned those groups like the “LGB Alliance”, and other Vichy gays etc, that the fascists were coming for them after they had helped the fascists come for us. Every single one of these anti-trans “LGB” groups, is a Quisling group & should be referred to as fascist collaborators.

Also when do kids typically stop truck or treating? Wondering when to start upping how much candy we give out per kid?

I am giving out Halloween candy for the first time (lived in a secure apartment before) and it’s so much fun!! Happy Halloween!

Private equity destroys 200-year-old book distribution company that libraries around the country rely on and now libraries are having trouble getting new books: www.404media.co/libraries-sc...

Despite two separate courts ruling Friday that the Trump administration must fund SNAP amid the government shutdown, the president said his lawyers don't think the orders are legal and will need to look into it more.

Traveling back to Canada today and the Canadian customs agent asked if I was using a cane because of a recent injury or some other reason. I’m not understanding what would be relevant to customs to understand about my cane usage?? This seems like a violation of my right to privacy?

My uber driver: Trump is going to change the law and run again. Me: It’s not a law. It’s in the constitution. Him: Well he’ll change the law. Me: He can’t get enough votes to create a proposed amendment to the constitution let alone get it ratified by enough states. Him: he’ll change the law.

I sell things on FB marketplace and sometimes I check out the profiles of people who ask for discounts. This week, one is a dentist and the other has a house in the most expensive postal code in Canada and a table in it with 15 chairs. FIFTEEN CHAIRS!!!

My partner spilled his drink on our new (cream) couch. Me: Get a wet towel and blot it! Him: *Proceeds to vigorously rub it in all directions* Me: BLOT!! Him: I am *while rubbing* Me: You don’t know what blot means do you? Him: … No.

I just put on a coat to eat ice cream inside my house.
