@repcasar.bsky.social? @doggett.house.gov - you got nothing left to lose, man.

Ugh, it’s a terrible time to be having a rough time personally while the world is on fire. Feels like nothing particularly matters.

Man, not only is he using government to do helpful stuff AND posting about it, but he makes it look like fun. What a breath of fresh air

This may be an episode of The Magnus Archives.

When I was still in school, and a teacher would assign something I felt was pointless or inappropriate or otherwise stupid, my mother would say “give them *exactly* what they want; that’ll show them”. Anyway I’m thinking about that for no reason.

Oooh I got a few: The Decemberists Phosphorescent The Arcade Fire (I know but I didn’t know about them then) Interpol The Mountain Goats I’m sure there are others, but Tucson got a lot of up-and-coming acts for a while there in the early 2000s.

Well, we lived in Toledo/Sylvania Ohio for a couple of years as an early teen so

Bear down, Arizona.

I don’t care if it rains or freezes Just so long as I got this polymer Jesus That my kiddo found on the grocery store floor

There’s a stick with a hair wrapped around it on the floor of the shower in this air bnb. I hope I don’t find a hidden basement and a large number of cans of soup.

The problem with getting a bidet is that there’s no going back. If you travel and there’s no bidet, you never feel quite clean.

I’m a real small potatoes SAFE donor, but this is an organization that does amazing work and needs help.

Wife: “now do you understand how hot he was?”

To paraphrase the great @emophilips.bsky.social, I think we should get rid of racism and homophobia and transphobia because there are a whole lot of *real* reasons to hate a person.

Oh right! I have another sparkling water in the work fridge.

It’s interesting to visit the parents in a more civilized state and see weed for sale and liquor in the grocery store available. And then come back to Texas and hear people talk about how we’re freer than everyone in Seattle.

Y’know, if I tried this kind of project scheduling at work, I’d be marched out pretty fast.

My official statement on Trans Visibility Day:

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

“Cockroach or moth” is a game we play here in Texas when the weather warms up.

Finished The Chair Company last night and have had the Red Ball Marketing Global song in my head alllll day

If the one phoenix “anarchist” I know is there I will be extremely surprised.

Not even remotely the point, but Nate is far & away the most famous alum of my high school.

It’s platelet donation day and I’m sitting in the We Are Blood waiting room, watching the same promo videos I’ve seen every month for the past few years since I’ve been doing this regularly. And fuck me, I get a little weepy at the same videos every single time.

“Dear Ford Motor Company, I am a simple man. A father of 2, who cares about the environment and wants to haul shit. But only sometimes. Mostly I just want a car that doesn’t require me to park like an asshole. Allow me to propose…”

My wife’s dream car is a forest green classic El Camino and it’s a goddamn shame we don’t make vehicles like that anymore.

I saw this guy!

Chat, is it a bad idea to put cocktails in my yeti for this protest?

Is 11 too young to show your kid Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness?

Only toilet’s clogged

Before/After

Been a while since I properly read katakana but I think this says “nansensu”.

I dunno. Youth culture killed my dog. So I don’t think that’s fair.

Today’s not all bad. I found a tall boy of sparkling water that I had left for myself in the work fridge.

It’s nice to finally have use of my dominant thumb again.

My more nuanced take is FUCK J.K. Rowling. Our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings need our love and support more than we need another Harry Potter. Read and adapt books by better humans. Especially trans ones.

I, for one, welcome our new industry.

The heart wants what the heart wants: To skip work and drink cheap beer while listening to Blood Ceremony

Please nobody tell me that susan cooper or john bellairs were vicious transphobes.

According to one cat, 4 am is the ideal time to find and loudly eat tape next to my bed.

Someone who is likely a distant relative asking important questions.

I cannot ever get this out of my head.

If you’re in Austin, and on my circle of mutuals, you probably know of Dragon’s Lair. One of their employees, Aidan, stopped an attack on a CapMetro bus and has some medical bills. Please consider helping. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ai...

A close friend did some significant work on how & why this hexagon formed! He’s not on here and not much of a braggart, so I am bankshot bragging for Kunio.

Carrying an empty propane tank around in my car all day is still a bad idea, right?

If true, college and grad school sure has changed from when I was an aspiring academic.

Completely unrelated: were any mutuals or mutuals-of-mutuals around the Tallahassee area in the early 2000s? Send me a message if so!

We talking the 3 martinis every afternoon, the triscuits, or the chain smoking Virginia Slims? Or do we mean the one who died of a heart attack when I was like a year old, who always had hot dogs?
