@davidmonroe.bsky.social I just rewatched the David S. Pumpkins skits last night.

IT’S THE DAY YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR: #AskAnArchivist Day! If you have any Qs or curiosities about the City-County collections, digital sources, methods and more, hit up @jordanryan.bsky.social.

From the creator of Weekly Jail Demolition Updates comes a new series: Weekly Indiana Fever Training Facility Construction Updates

Indy really is a big small town. Today at TJMaxx, I ran into my wardrobe from 2004

She’s beauty and she’s grace She stands on my chest to sneeze in my face

Just got home from the City-County Council meeting and tried to unlock my door with the office key. I’m fine. I’m with it. I’m hip. I wear an onion on my belt.

My favorite coffee shop celebrated its 16th anniversary this week. Today, there’s a line to the door & a silent auction benefiting @exodusrefugee.bsky.social. So much love & community in one place.

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octembers.

At ORD, near a fellow American who may need remedial fourth grade geography. His questions have included, but are not limited to, “What are the Great Lakes?”, “Is Lake Michigan an ocean?”, and “Is Chicago in another country?”

Can confirm Josh’s love language is touch(ing all the concrete)

A handful of photos from Day 1 in Montreal.

Yeah, sure, I can meet you at the rapture. Remind me again what time zone

taking the day off to watch Dick Clark’s Rockin’ Rapture Day as hosted by Ryan Seacrest

Jesus better drop like the ball on NYE

She brought butter to a knife fight.

I suspect something is on fire

the soundtrack at this CVS is giving 2004 Spider-Man

Something like 20% of public & commercial buildings constructed before the ‘80s were asbestos AF. The EJB Federal Building was built in the early ‘50s. The article says the asbestos is encapsulated, though, which is good. Asbestos is kind of like a dragon—it’s dangerous when you disturb it.

Inside of you there are two wolves, and inside one of those wolves are more wolves.

By the time I die, I will have spent 47 days of my life waiting in line and 494.827 days dealing with two-factor authentication

I got soul but I’m not a soulmate

15 portrait-style neighborhood postcards … and one landscape. As painful as unaligned screws in a light switch plate

Maybe the cicadas have it right. Live underground for a generation, then announce your return with screams. Experience puberty in a tree before having sex and dying on the sidewalk.

don’t forget our Lord and Savior, cheese

Third annual “How Many ‘Taste Of The Fair’ Foods Can We Try?” This year’s answer: One-third. The cheesy hot honey chicken fries were 💯.

In What In The Sam Hill news, a car plowed down a sign, mowed through a stormwater planter, & crashed into the railing at the Fletcher Place Red Line stop. #pedestriansafety #VisionZero

Last night, I dreamed I was running around my teensy hometown, a cob in each hand, yelling, "CORN SWEeeeeeEEeAT!" 💦🌽💦 You can take the girl out of Iowa, but you can't take the Iowa out of a girl. hashtag corn sweat hashtag cows

Earlier this week, Indiana Public Broadcasting employees lost their jobs. Why? Because public media funding was removed from the state's biennial budget. If you'd like to help the journalists who are suddenly jobless, a GoFundMe has been set up: www.gofundme.com/f/help-laido...

Having bipolar disorder is great because you’re awake for 36+ hours and end up asking introspective questions like, “Do you call it the ‘overhead light’ or the ‘big light?’”

It's hard to avoid recalling this passage from the English historian Tony Judt:

fuckin' love the fair, I feel at my most maximum Midwest when I'm there. been going for seven years now (excluding 'rona year obv) thanks to @dmarieolsen.bsky.social and would have it no other way

cool photo of where the Atlantic and Pacific oceans meet

Temps will be in the low 90s again today, & the @nws.noaa.gov says the heat index will be around 100. 🥵 As Paris Hilton said in 2006, “That’s hot.” #millennialreference Say safe (and cool 🧊🧊🧊) by following these tips from @wthrcom.bsky.social: www.wthr.com/article/weat...

Gentle reminder that occasionally it’s beneficial to put down your phone, go outside, and judge and criticize people in person.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

Yesterday, I met a contractor named Chuck, which absolutely is a contractor name.

can’t wait to go outside and feel like I’m walking directly into a mop

It’s hot enough outside that, when I walked past Bovaconti and saw the water bowl for dogs, I thought, “I so wish I could jump in there.”

Nihilism is high, no one is sleeping, the earth is on fire, the whales are getting nuked, humanity is doomed, war is on all horizons, & the grocery store is out of cilantro but thank God we have earlobe filler. www.newbeauty.com/earlobe-fill...

drinking my way through my exes

The kitchen outlet is next to the kitchen window and the cat is in the window. I don’t want to disturb her, so of course I’ll be making my smoothie in the living room.

why is it called “boob sweat” and not humiditties

I hate to get political, but it wouldn’t be so bad out if it weren’t for the humidity.

The news is all terrible, but the Post Office’s new baby wild animals stamps are good.

Johnny Furphy and I have something in common, and that something is getting caffeine at 3:30 in the afternoon. #YesCers
