ryan's father is winning a very prestigious award tonight that comes with a blazer like the pga tour

ryan and i shrieked with joy when we passed this car and saw the driver

everyone in my company is using google gemini to write SLACK MESSAGES now, so they're all 18 paragraphs with 105 bullet points instead of being two fucking sentences

they're closing an elementary school in my home town because they can't afford to keep it open

GREAT municipal bit here: if you report a pothole in my town the service they use to manage it auto-enrolls you to an email subscription of all similar reports. "oh you think you have it bad? we're getting 10 pothole complaints an hour"

uh oh! three days above 60 so i'm wearing lilac perfume* and listening to the beths *the only good one is issey miyake i am sorry to say

Saw a Red Fox on the walk home this evening. Didn’t have my camera, so here is another March fox from a couple of years ago - trotting and then stopping for some scritching 🌿

just watched a man clock out from his shift at the county jail wearing a leather blazer and a leather fedora

the horrid facebook group for my town is somehow both evil and over-moderated so there aren't even posts about the hour long traffic nightmare on our biggest road yet. moderators will probably allow those posts next week or some shit. tell me why there are eight school buses stuck on memorial drive!

do we think robbie star at superstar track records turned him in

*flop*

my neighbor is trying to give away nine great dane puppies. that's a stress-induced nightmare type of situation for me

As a millennial, yes. I love the opportunity to make retail workers getting raises/bonuses more likely. Do you not? In my decade of retail work, the major issue keeping my store teams from getting paltry bonuses was literally just not enough survey completions, and in some cases, too-low scores.

this hawk just watched me and gh walk by this morning

i love an easy read, so i have read many contemporary romance books over the years. this article made me realize why i don't connect with a lot of the popular ones, they're in first person! i want to read about other people, i don't want to imagine myself as a burnt out magazine editor or whatever

time for the bi-annual pothole documentation walk

i keep seeing americans spell veranda "verandah." why's the h tagging along? get him out of there

my own bluesky username-ass guest check

extended hypoglycemia is definitely life threatening but getting 16u of fast-acting insulin while 508 after starving for days could have killed her as well. it would have killed me!

there's a line for the women's restroom at this software development conference. this is bullshit! i'm anti dei now

This is a great overview from LUCE about how ICE is targeting immigrants in Massachusetts courtrooms. I have seen this firsthand and it's critical that we stop it. Visit LUCE's website to learn more and sign a petition in favor of legislation banning ICE courthouse arrests: www.lucemass.org/courts

georgia aquarium is pretty sick but there are people selling margaritaville timeshares all over it and they're blasting pop music constantly? what a strange atmosphere for an aquarium.

my blood had acid in it for a while yesterday from the adrenaline and stress and lack of pump causing a severe extended high bg which as you can imagine is pretty unpleasant on a plane and i also have a rash on my cheek from crying so i'm upping my demand to $75k. pretty reasonable i think!

Locked on target. There is one berry left on this branch and Bohemian Waxwing SEES IT #birds 🌿

my seatmate laughed a bit when i got my phone out to take a picture of the deicing truck spraying us with the substance so i said "this is exciting! i've never been deiced before!" and then she took out her phone to get a picture too. seek whimsy! especially when the TSA has just tried to kill you!

TSA bricked my insulin pump during a hand check for explosives. No idea how that even happens but they took it out of my view, so. By some miracle I just got a new one in the mail at home but normally I would be SOL for days. Anyway I think they should give me fifty thousand dollars for my misery.

Just wanted you guys to see “Riding in a golf cart fatly”

Louise Mensch is in the dustbin of 2016 history but seeing her tell the fucking Pope to put his ego aside and allow the bombing of Iranian children is something else

i know it's a stereotype that white people never close their blinds but there are so many houses in my sparsely-trafficked neighborhood whose blinds are never open. south facing too! you all are just going without sunlight? that's crazy.

Incarcerated people are more likely to have experienced violence or abuse compared to the general public. The MA Survivors Act emulates recent resentencing reforms across the country that allow for reduced sentences for people with convictions related to their abuse. boltsmag.org/massachusett...

do not buy the new asiago croissant twists from panera. they are too good. you'll never enjoy another savory pastry. your life will be split in twain: before twists, when you were able to enjoy meals, and after twists, when all food tasted of dirt and sludge by comparison.

nice sunlight today for mr GH

I repeat For those of you outside MA I assure you: you do not need to hand it to war hawk transphobe Seth Moulton. We're just so used to complete abdication that even a sliver of Doing Politics seems radical. Don't be fooled, this man cares about his Senate race, not you

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

every time i am forced to interact with salesforce i think to myself "who set this field up this way? it is impossible to run fairly basic reports" and then i go and ask marketing ops about it and they say "oh that was me, i want everyone to suffer"

"pedophilic nazis are so much friendlier toward my point of view"

"i do not take my kids on public transit" so many people think their nasty little opinions must be broadcast via substack instead of, say, talking to a professional

the squirrels have given up taking cover from the snow apparently

name that restaurant

the flock of 1000ish crows that live in the area have been flying over the jail parking lot every time i walk out with women we've freed and it was beautiful today! caw caw etc

4pm at the women's jail

the desk CO chastised me for being early to bail people every week and i was like "if i am 2 minutes late the clerk leaves, what do you suppose is a bigger problem" but i had a big smile the whole time so he thinks we're just joshing around (his career choice will send him to an eternal hell imo)

drop an album that was important to you when you were 19 i listened to this CONSTANTLY on my creative zen mp3 player in 2007. i also dragged ryan to their concert at the sinclair in 2018, two months before we started dating :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlOl...

the boy who got everything he’s ever wanted is back to cry more about getting what he wanted

i believe the street was mostly clear pre-blizzard so it has shocked me to find the plows came through and built a wall made of enormous ice bricks at the end of our driveway. where did all that come from?
