I think its fun to see probate records from 1778 with “the Reign of our Sovereign Lord GEORGE the Third” crossed out

Oh shit my genealogy business is officially profitable, I did not see that coming this year tbh

laughing about the VA AG election again. voters loved his cool texts

This is actually just the train riding experience, bonus there is no TSA

Are you interested in local folklore/history? Want to connect with other researchers outside institutional settings? Consider joining on 11/19 6PM for a virtual reunion of the Virginia Folklore Society. Were hoping to help the society out of its dormancy & would love to hear from anyone out there! 🪕

I will not be reading anyone’s “analysis” of the election, I love myself too much

Damn that’s right

Yeah this is what “winsome sears gave everyone the ick” looks like

Hell fucking yeah you dumbass sonofabitch

Ayy ya winsome ya lose some

Not PBS NewsHour saying that if Mamdani wins he’ll be “ruling” 8 million New Yorkers…. Y’all I think the word you’re looking for is “representing”?

My grandmother who hated Dick Cheney also died at 84, I always get a bit of pleasure when these ghouls don’t get more years on earth than she did

May Dick Cheney dying be a good omen for this Election Day 😌

I get so sad when I see people who have to bike along hwy 231 n blue ridge turnpike, they deserve so much better than having to ride on a freeway with cars going 55mph

My life changed when I learned how to do Norwegian purl

“Trunk or treat” gotta be one of the all time most depressing things

Old man lunch: wheat toast, herring filets with raw onion, pickles, apple slices

Wow breaking news

Henry Louis Gates Jr is a treasure, he is such a delightful host on Finding Your Roots

Peak leaf is pretty damn nice this year

I’ve been watching this YouTube channel Not Just Bikes lately and it is making me so sad about American car-centric infrastructure. They show so much footage of walkable spaces with trams, then contrast it with car infrastructure and it’s so obviously, infinitely better when cars aren’t prioritized

This headline is the most America thing I’ve ever seen

I’m always a bit relieved when the first real freeze comes and kills off the last of the summer plants. Stay down, fruit-bearer, the time of leafy greens is upon us!

Bluesky hasn’t been loading well all week and I was like “grrr is this from the AWS outage???” Turns out it’s because we put our Internet router in a different window as we were moving stuff around to prep for winter oopsie 🤭

Amazing that you’d run for senate and not think “ya know… maybe I should get that old Nazi tattoo covered up first”

I voted for Jay Jones and I hope he wins over fucking Miyares *shudder* but ya know… if I were a guy who’d held public office and planned to run for public office, I simply wouldn’t text dumbass stuff to *anyone*… all my texts would be like “lovely day isn’t it, hope you and your family are well”

???? It *is* the enshittification trap

Doing the most autumn bake day ever today: rosemary potato focaccia, apple tart, blueberry scones, and heating up a pumpkin loaf made by a friend

We got rosemary from a friend’s garden yesterday and I cannot stop smelling it

Yeah nice AI video, in the real world a lot of people got together and had a good time!

Every time I need to get my yarn back on the needles I’m like “there’s gotta be a better way”

The 10pm rummage-through-the kitchen-eating-ingredients snack is so good. Tonight’s was a sheet of nori, several sheets of softened rice paper dipped in garlic chili fish sauce, a spoonful of lai gan ma, and a handful of dark chocolate chips

Omg love to the single No Kings protester in downtown Madison VA we just drove past on our way to Cville ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 we gave a hearty honk and wave

Looking at Clearsky Top 20 most blocked accounts like hmmmmm will stancil should be on there

well this absolutely fuckin rules

We’ve had three people staying at the Airbnb next door drive through our yard tonight 😑

I did not know this!!

Not me going for a run IN OCTOBER and getting several mosquito bites 😡😡😡😡😡

AAAHH!! AAAAHHH!!!

Also if you’re the type to mask while sick why get all bent out of shape when people promote more masking as illness prevention? I’ll never get that, what a weird line to hold and what a weird thing to get angry on social media about

Death to AI images in house listings. Hard to imagine that they even help sell the house tbh

D’Angelo :( RIP to a badass Virginian

Person who masks at the doctor’s office: “ugh people who *demand* universal public masking are so unreasonable” Man shut up and just pick ONE additional public place where you commit to wear a mask

I can’t wait to make various kinds of jjigae all winter long
