I live in a high wildfire-risk area (Western Colorado), and we had jerks firing off professional-grade fireworks ALL night last night. Not just one or two assholes, either. We counted at LEAST 7, and those were just the ones we could see from our front yard.

Come to the desert! We're currently sitting at 5% humidity. Is there anywhere that has "normal" air? Everywhere I go there's either too much or too little water in the air. 😆

Nice! We did mountains, then came home through Moab, then had Mexican food for dinner. 😆 That was a LONG day. Bayfield was beautiful today, though.

Ok, the illegal neighborhood fireworks can stop at ANY TIME, thankyouverymuch. We have AT LEAST 6-7 people surrounding us shooting off professional-grade fireworks. During fire season. My dogs are NOT HAPPY. Poor Pixel is just crying and I can't get her to stop. 😭

The ONLY reason the press is still going nuts about all this random grumbling is because they've got NOTHING ELSE. This election is a slam-dunk, no brainer and they know it. There's absolutely no question which candidate should be president, but that doesn't fill columns or a ten minute news segment

Many countries: you should definitely vote. It is very important. Some countries: it is compulsory to vote because it's a civic duty. NYT: eh, you probably shouldn't vote. It's pointless. Totally useless.

I am absolutely scared shitless by this moment and I’ve been scared shitless of this moment coming for over a decade, but I’ve also concluded that the LAST thing we can collectively afford to do is projecting indecisive shrieking cowardice to everyone less politically plugged-in than we are.

A lot of Q-Anon folks are old Boomers like my 70-year-old MIL and my 78-year-old mother. Those people aren't doing anything but bitching and posting right-wing memes on Facebook.

I got into it a few days ago with someone who INSISTED that voting is pointless and we need to do something else. Well, sweetheart, yes. If everyone stops voting, it WILL be pointless.

For the same reason handlers of search & rescue dogs occasionally have volunteers put themselves in a position to be "found" alive in a grim disaster scene -- to keep up morale so that these dogs keep working -- I give you this screen shot from the BOP showing the current location of Steve Bannon.

LOL I started our neighborhood's Nextdoor (and it makes you the moderator when you do that). As soon as most of my neighbors joined I bailed so fast. These people have ISSUES.

Between FB and Nextdoor, I have no desire to talk to any of my neighbors in person.

That's good to hear, I may pop back in there and see what's up. I've been wanting to spin up my own Mastodon instance (I'm not fond of the whole "Oh we can shut the instance down at any time and there goes your profile" problem. Unless they've fixed that.

I bailed on Mastodon when I got yelled at for not putting an "eye contact" contact warning on a photo of my dog. 😆

Yep. Post and Spoutible were pretty quickly "Oh hell no, I'm out of here." Threads is also a "not a chance" platform. I still have Mastodon and CounterSocial accounts, but I never use them. Bluesky scratches all of the itches that Twitter did, but with a lot fewer Nazis.

I can relate to that. One of my favorite quotes is from Douglas Adams: “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”

Bermuda was definitely nice! It's a little small, but worth it to visit. It's a bummer that you didn't get to go on that Med cruise. :(

It's a shame they did that, they handed out pills like candy when I was in. I was an OTA back when the rate still existed, '81-'84. Norfolk for A School, then off to Bermuda for the rest of my tour. Spent a year in Japan as a dependent wife after I got out.

They always post crap about God and stuff, too - while they're creeping on women.

Nice! I got the flat-back studs, and they are SO comfortable. My daith is a little heart-shaped hoop with purple gems, but the rest are flat-back studs. I don't even notice them when I'm in bed. I did the hoops for a while but I wanted something even smaller!

SAME. I have a huge collection of single earrings, and most of them are cheap Target stuff. I suppose I should find a home for them at some point. Some of them would make good pendants for a necklace, I suppose.

I'm terrible about losing earrings. I finally had my piercer put in "permanent" jewelry. 😊

GeekGrammy is right. If people post photos/videos of atrocities and don't put them behind a filter, I will block them immediately. I invite other BlueSky denizens to join in this announcement. Brava, GeekGrammy!

Thank you. I know bad things are happening. It doesn't make you a better person to look at images of those bad things. It doesn't HELP anyone, either.

How, exactly, is he supposed to address that situation without the cooperation of Congress?
