The problematic aspects of both Harry and Sally are an integral part of the plot that keeps them from having a real relationship until they've grown into seeing each other as whole people. That lesson is the throughline of the film. That's why it's so good, and still so relevant.

So, coffee, cream, and root beer is just SO good... like a cream soda coffee float. I don't know why we don't put these things together more often. I keep figuring this out by accident.

Wow! I'm beginning to feel like the law is an entirely pretextual excuse for mass deanonymization and censorship, governmental control over what ideas its citizenry is able to access, and the isolation of multiple vulnerable groups of teenagers from their sole supports!

ALL-TIME RECORD CREST! The Cedar River is so high it’s hitting bridges in downtown Renton. Scary and incredible to see. Thanks to my friend in town for sharing this video. #wawx

Please signal boost. Need a wheelchair tech who can help troubleshoot in Silver Spring, MD.

If you wanna know when I'm playing music, this is the account to follow. I'm on this morning, not sure where the day will take me, but it's chill so far, and helping with last night's dishes.

Lovely, busy day--grateful to have had my radio show this morning, followed by having parents over for a low-effort dinner. The barometer dropped, so I'm in migraine predrome, but I've landed in the best place-- in bed with crackers and a tub of cheese spread. 🧡 It's gonna be ok.

It's amazing how strangers will really come together in the cheese aisle at Trader Joe's on Thanksgiving week.

LOL, as if I, a Star Wars mega fan, was considering posting my opinions about it on this, Mark Hamill's Internet. Noooooo, thank you. Enjoy yourself, though.

Our new band name is Trauma and Lead. The first album is entitled "Why Are We Like This?"

I'm streaming Gen X comfort food for your Saturday morning, probably until noon-ish (Pacific.)

The best way to summon an atmospheric river in the PNW is an X class solar flare, I swear... (Please post aurora pics!)

I've lost count of how many near-collisions I've witnessed on the drive to school and back this week. And it's only Tuesday morning. Everyone has lost their minds.

Why would they reconvene the House and open government, when this effective dissolution gives them *everything* they want already? I suspect they don't plan on coming back. Which would mean we can expect mass privatization of everything the states can't individually cover.

Owww, that hurts. #wawx

Churches, charities & family are not a substitute for SNAP They can help but they’re not accessible to everyone They can’t scale up to support an influx of 42 million people The government could easily fund SNAP, they’re choosing not to They’re choosing to let people starve

Adding Rainier Valley Food Bank to this list of neighborhood resources. They just built a new facility to provide more resources, services, and care. www.rvfb.org

If you have a need to buff up your community and group work skills, want to reframe how you organize with others and why so it feels healthier want a space to recover from and imagine into the community group that you need but haven’t found? I have a few tools that may be of use or not.

This seems like a good November to take the kids to donate that $75 turkey money to the food bank, and have delicious street tacos for family dinner.

Trying so hard to feel festive... Hoping this helps!

Today was that one perfect day of brilliant sunshine lighting up the flaming maples. One of the best days of the year.

Anywho, moral of the story is to do things and to invite others to join you.

The onslaught of blatant lies without repercussion is destroying me...

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free. When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Kaiser holds $66 BILLION in reserves, yet refuses to give health care workers the fair pay and benefits they deserve and safe staffing they need to do their jobs. America’s unions stand with the 46,000 workers at Kaiser on a 5-day strike fighting for a fair contract!

If you're saying, "Should I do this thing that interests me?" I'm going to say YES. Hell, yes. We don't have time to lose. Revel in your delight, share your special interest, teach us what you know. We need more sincere, human content in the world. Do the thing, FFS.

We waited until the 13th to decide on a sewn-from-scratch cosplay. Because of course. Looks like I'm sewing this weekend.

Rage status I JUST WANT TO PRINT AN ADDRESS ON AN ENVELOPE engaged.

I revel in the weaponized whimsy that defies the narrative of violence. We are not helpless; we are joy-- larger than life, and more powerful than hate.

[T]he opposite of fascism isn't anarchy, it's theater. When the world is fucked, you go to the theater, you go to the shine, and when the bad men come, all there is left to do is sing them down. -Catherynne M. Valente Space Opera

Abusers destroy your things and then try to get you to believe it's your fault.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

i don't want to hear a single solitary boo about bari weiss's CBS news takeover from anybody still publishing on substack

Sept. 30 // Oct. 1

I have nothing to add to the hellscape... so I try to add little human things, just for variety. Autumn is so beautiful in the PNW, and I feel better (in a certain way) after cleaning gutters and trimming cedar boughs before the rains come. Here are the last roses of the season:

Well don't I feel stupid

Wow, this day in particular. 🫣

CHOTINER: I don't know, I just feel like I've been tacitly operating in a moral framework that would fall apart with even the barest scrutiny. But maybe that collapse would bring new clarity DOCTOR: Listen, there is an interviewer I want you to talk to. The best in the business. CHOTINER: ...

The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this. I don’t view it as a Me problem.

I hope all you fine folks who have "colds" are treating it like it's the 'rona, because I have news for you... (Me, listening to podcasts and watching vids where multiple creators are saying, "Sorry for my voice-- I've got a cold." And Mom and Sis both popped positive yesterday...)

The season has come: Flannel-sheets + windows-open. Brief and beautiful.

The Rebel Hideout is finally revealed! Such a cool story! www.ilm.com/rebel-hideou...

The bottom dropped for content quality again in the last few weeks. I'm having some sort of existential crisis, seeing the patterns of algorithmic manipulation, grooming, and the drying up of quality human content. People seem to be in denial about the social isolation, too. It's nauseating to me.
