Good news, I got a pickle

Struggling, but want to focus on +++ Autumn is ausome ’cuz it’s the sweet spot in the Venn diagram of tomato season and apple season.

And so it was so wonderful to see these people, who had been working on Huntington's their whole careers, weep for joy that someone ELSE HAD DONE IT. They did not care someone else did it first. They cared that it WORKED. They remembered we are all in this together.

your favorite TNG character is you in the streets and your favorite DS9 character is you in the sheets.

Okay, there’s something I need to do every August 24th. I need to tell you to not give up on your mental health, yourself, this world, or hope. My brother Rick should be turning 63 today but he died at age 44 due to depression and other mental health problems. He shouldn’t have. (🧵)

Hang onto this image of CDC's full list of underlying conditions tied to severe risk of COVID. If you're an adult aged 18-64, RFK Jr. is now making you show some proof of one of these underlying conditions in order to get a COVID vaccine.

Busted out the 2024 Charing Cross mini from @white2tea.bsky.social today and hot DAMN, I get the hype now. Smoky AND sweet, like a cup of hot steamy Julie London. Gonna have to save my pennies and spring for a cake of this corker of a hybrid white tea.

I cannot stress how much this particular trend sucks for me personally, from a disability and accessibility perspective.

CAN RELATE: I am a 5’10” loud broad on whom the title of Queen of Fucking Everything was bestowed by the stoner droll group Par Infinity and my suitcase is an enormous orange Samsonite that I can no longer carry if it contains anything heavier than pillows. HUZZAH

Scented poop bags for dog 💩? That’s a thing?!?

Current rental has 1 electrical outlet per room. Six total. Previous rental had 6 outlets in the living room *alone*. Life in a house built in 1926 vs a house c1952. 😭

Finally got my tea setup set up. Black tea from my favorite seller @white2tea.bsky.social in a cup gifted to me by the artist @betsyohart.bsky.social. Had it after a surprise visit from Ursula and Carson marking the beginning of apple season by bring us a bushel of Gravensteins. A good day. 🫖🍎🍏

A where's Waldo book but instead you look for my last fuck to give

*shouts into the void* "My stories will fill you with hope that can help you keep going while the world burns! You can buy them directly from me [including DRM-free ebooks] and read about magic in real urban spaces without supporting evil corporations!" *the void* "...tell me more?"

Lessons in How To Be a Sandbag Against Fascism

(it would improve media literacy a great deal if everyone knew the four easy ways to interrogate a causal claim: consider alternate cause, reverse cause and effect, effect without cause, cause without effect)

LEARN TO SAY NO

Every day the moon drifts slightly further away from earth and honestly, I don't blame it.

Really pleased to say that my artwork "Packed Like Sardines 3" Hand embroidery thread painting. Has been selected for the Royal Society of Marine Artists annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London. #ArtYear #AnimalArtTuesday #embroidery

Yo moots…anyone have experience with loss of access to Instagram account?

First day living in a 100 year old house is…interesting. Only one outlet per room? OK. I’m just glad to be here.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Finally. 71 days later, we turned over the keys at our old rental. New rental, I am in you.

I have trouble with heat regulation at even moderate temps. When I lived inside Grand Canyon National Park, I did almost all my summer hiking by moonlight. Heatstroke is no joke.

Today I bought a sheet.

Slept at the new joint last night for the first time and there was a murder. A murder of crows! 7am-ish sounded like dozens going berserk in the backyard. Found the remains of a rock dove under the cherry tree.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Guys is it biased to favor a shared sense of objective reality

Once upon a time at STSF I approached Jonathan Frakes at his table. “I bought a picture with you later, and I brought two trombones. Could I—“ “Bring them.” This was the result:

My fam was broke enough that Nana gave mom a nickel for the bridge toll when we’d visit. I didn’t attend preschool, but I was reading well before kindergarten and I’m pretty sure it was at least partly due to Sesame Street.

My fave is and always will be his reimagining of ‘A Christmas Carol’. RIP, legend.

God damn him. Unhoused people are literally dying in the streets of Vermont and New Hampshire from overdoses, and this is what he does instead of helping. Also? This is Gavin Newsom's plan, too, so I don't want to hear about how electable he is.
