"The objective seems to have been a test of general political conditions -- whether Jews could be made to walk to their doom on their own feet, carrying their own little valises, in the middle of the night, without any previous notification; ..."

I had to look up a word when I listened to the latest IBCK @michaelhobbes.bsky.social

Well, the @aclu.org canceled the Equal Rights for All campaign. Disappointing to see a campaign that was fueled almost entirely by volunteer organizers get shut down by a closed door executive meeting. #aclu #equalrights ?

Have y'all seen my dog? #dogsofbluesky

I have a personal preference for serif>sans serif fonts but I have never switched sides harder than this week. All hail Calibri, I GUESS

I white-knuckled it for an hour through the thickest fog I've ever driven through, while my partner slept supportively beside me.

I'm working on a project to make our library's archives screen reader accessible, and you can help! Crowdsourced transcription projects at fromthepage.com/osulp

How has @ashleyshoo.bsky.social not been on @deathpanel.bsky.social yet omg

My coworker apologized for disturbing me while I was crying, but actually I was finishing my lunch in my office and was deep on a quest to figure out where Chuck Palahniuk threw his tonsils in the mid-90s (in a jar, into the woods, behind his house, is as far as I've tracked down)

I googled okra to make sure I was remembering the right thing (I was), found it is also called lady fingers, and now I've invented the Worst Tiramisu

Corvallis peeps! Tonight is the first public meeting of the Tenant Bill of Rights, 6.30pm in the student lounge of WestM. Check out TBOR.actcorvallis.org for more deets.

I desperately need @ihatejamesdobson.bsky.social 's take on this song that's been stuck in my head since I was a tiny person youtu.be/sQWN2fZVHJc?...

It's time to replace the filters in our purifiers and restock supplies! contribute thru vnmo ID: a cool-toned pastel flyer featuring the clean air corvallis logo, our fundraising goal, and a qr code for vmo. Text reads "Help us buy more air filters, masks, and rental spaces for events! Goal: $500"

Tenant Bill of Rights meeting tomorrow, 7pm! DM for address. DYK Corvallis is the most rent-burdened city in Oregon, and the 2nd most in the United States? Of course you did, you pay into it every month!

A mother's day bouquet from my garden, all Oregon natives.

Omg I'm not religious but the Pope using his last moments on earth to scold Vance is based as fuck

Listened to an old episode of @unclearpod.bsky.social. This Canadian Cold War and incompetent leadership sounds familiar....Are we living through the plot of Canadian Bacon?

@jamieloftus.bsky.social i think my Wikipedia app is broken

Keep an eye on the ERA ballot initiative in Oregon. Currently in signature gathering, aiming to be on the 2026 midterm ballot.

Just tested this, I still get results for the suggested searches. That said, delete your Meta accounts anyway, for other reasons.

ASL is a whole actual fucking language, friends. With nuance and depth and a whole cultural community. Don't tolerate this attack.

Ooooooooooof. Looking forward to weeding this section.

Every new years I take an evening to listen to music and dote on my plants, and it's delightful and a lil bit lonely.

Today was my last day in my dept, and I start the new year as the library accessibility manager at OSULP. I'm terrified and thrilled.

Easily one of the weirdest captchas I've come across. Nothing like navigating an AI grid to prove your humanity.

Incredible. A pescatarian dinner and nary a vegetable to be seen. It's a Christmas miracle.

Nice to know I'm at that stage where TSA has a minor panic figuring out if they should get a male or female employee to pat me down 🙃

PHL meeting was so successful!! Amazing what can be achieved by just meeting face to face.

One of my fave Christmas movies

81 Democrats voted to throw trans kids under the bus today – if congressperson was one of them, call them to give them an earfull!

Ordered a SIM card. My dog agrees the packaging is a bit overdramatic

The historic day when all the nation’s gay men and straight women cried out in unison: I can fix him

Friend sent me the Endurance lego set. A midwest winter storm has delayed shipping. Shackleton is once again trapped in ice

A stupid thing about being ex-evangelical and the holiday season is sometimes I catch myself praying to Santa out of habit 💀

oh my god

I hate setting up a hypothetical injustice but let's just say I wouldn't be shocked if these same companies required employees who are DV survivors to keep a public photo on their staff pages.

Friendly fun reminder that this is not secure site, your posts are visible to your friends and to cops and are being ingested into AI. Sometimes praxis is shut the fuck up.

If you didn't want it to be a gay anthem, maybe don't wear assless leather chaps when you sing it?

Stolen valor - my sis sent me this pic and I'm obsessed

Pink Haus Leftist meeting this Friday, Corvallis. PM for deets.

Bought my mom a ticket to Wicked, she venmo'd me back "for magic 🪄" kill me now

Had another T-day dinner that couldn't be beat, surrounded by old and new friends, and goddamn I am a "let's meet for coffee" queer not a "let's party" queer

Don't cross the picket line! www.vice.com/en/article/a...

I ate 3 types of squash today and pretty much nothing else #noragrets

Finally watched Alien: Romulus. One of the first egg scenes, my partner whispered "Noooo close that pussy back up"

Hey bluesky meet my dog she's named Mallory after the guy who died on Everest
