not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict

Some really big, and what many ppl would call important, voices in here that doubled down on despair, doom and division, became abusive—even detracting from the democratic process Can’t bring myself to follow them again on here

Ok so when I see a post trying to quote but instead the box says “BLOCKED” does that mean the OP blocked the quote post, the quote poster, me, or is it a case of someone I’ve blocked?

This isn’t about forming a government It’s about engineering a shut down

Invoicing is just fundamentals. Plugging away. Due diligence. It’s how you win World Series. lol Everything is baseball now Like the other day I was all Politics feels like baseball but where you pitch to your own team and try to strike them out I miss baseball

We have a pair of ladies who come and clean twice a month Love them. They are super nice to the kids and very personable—also we gossip since they are our neighbors Only bad part is I can’t use the bathroom while they’re here It’s just embarrassing for me lol

There are these two little Mexicans living in this house and the littlest one just ate a tamal de pollo en chile verde—and it’s spicy. He asked for more. Practically ate the whole thing! He’s not even 2!!! Both these kids love real food Lucky to live within walking distance of amazing eats

Lots a Chad and Erin screaming about their lawn this week

So proud of T. He played “Nobody Knows the Troube I’ve Seen” accompanied by his piano teacher. It was so expressive and fluid. He did a great job. And so did his teacher. It was a really moving arrangement and they played well together.

Nothin. Just walking the gardening aisle.

Son had his first piano recital tonight I was home wi the the baby He was nervous about it but went through with it and did very well from what I was told He felt really good about it He was amped

Look, I wanna post about tacos and food (that’s Mexican food to you non Mexicans) But my question is if everyone’s mad at Mexicans and wishing to deport me

And sometimes I get lucky growing things like these marigolds

Sometimes I get things right

These are my dogs, Bunny and Rita, respectively beagle/staff sisters we adopted from the pound 12 years ago

I post about my food too Here are some proper enchiladas rojas

If you play jazzmasters or jaguars You need this Handmade roundcore pure nickel strings specifically designed for jazzmasters and jaguars This is the only strings designed to properly fit and drive these offset classics that have their own challenges The proper balance and weight and tension

A close up of my hand made Níquel Puro electric bass strings Perfect for your P bass Lots of pure nickel in every layer of wire for unmatched signal strath, articulation, and durability As a matter of fact they sound even better a few months in!

So this is what I do I make them for artists like Gabby Moreno, Blake Mills, Mason Stoops, the Surferjettes, Josh Smith and so many good folks out there, too many to name It’s a musician’s secret Roundcore strings made by hand. These are the ones I designed for Jazzmaster/Jaguar guitars

Super loathe conspiracy theorists and theories on the left 1) left had a huge exploitable blind spot for this and it is still happening 2) unable to acknowledge Fuckery right before their eyes; we are expected to now believe in the irrational? 3 ufo/alien talk is serious deus ex machina fantasy

I have to have a weird discussion with my wire supplier Last time round we didn’t feel any effects from the Covid shortages until the very end when logistics were catching up along with the rise in employment, delays were minimal I have to ask about post tariff pricing—some nickel gets imported

Really need that one acct to lay off cheerleading detention/deportations If you find yourself wishing pain on people, you’ve completed the circle and the Op was successful And when they ask—again—how did they send people to the gas chambers? You’re not good people

I’m not wishing anyone get deported I’m not reveling in that The first victims and most of the victims will be innocents—not voters And ultimately those of us who are citizens, born and naturalized, will also be victims—just like in the 30s and 50s It’s cruel, not edgy at all.

Immigrants are not combatants.

If nothing at its base one overarching thing that is happening across spectrums and spaces … is people are not listening They are not looking at other people as people Everyone feels righteous in being transactional or punitive For MOST people it’ll stop but again remember term one

Some folks I found insufferable over there are a lot better here It really did bring out the worst in everyone

This is why I fail as being a counselor because frankly people don’t want to feel anxiety , shame, sorrow etc And like You should You should feel bad . You should reconsider You made deals and choices to position yourself at the expense and harm to others You SHOULD feel that

Great. We just wanted to watch a movie and this is the view outside

TIL it was Mexican Jews who developed the flour tortilla Always figured it was from an immigrant group from that region Now i know! 🤷‍♀️

@kimchichi.bsky.social Guess who I had lunch with

It’s time

Usps can’t track packages all day Now I’m wondering if they e been hacked.

Gonna eat that apple! This tree is so happy and it’s growing so quickly These organically grown apples are tart and sweet and super crispy! I’m just super blown away

Extremely proud of these folk. These are the people in my neighborhood, these are my people, my fam https://www.latimes.com/delos/story/2023-08-20/blue-beetle-xolo-mariduena-family-friends

Wow man Twitter 😬 Blewski is missing something, maybe it’s critical mass It feels a little gentrified. Like curated for tameness. Although it’s nice to find the ppl I’ve been missing over there

Thinking about listening to xtc

¡Gracias por la invitación! @kimchichi.bsky.social
