It is very hot here and I’m still wearing full gear and straddling a hot engine (at a red light my bike easily gets to 215 degrees). God bless legal lanesplitting as I yeet past a cop in traffic, entirely in the right to go around that slow tourist so I can keep some wind on me. I love motorcycles 🥰

As we go into a US holiday weekend, please remember: car drivers, please watch out for motorcycle riders. Motorcycle folks, WEAR YOUR FUCKING GEAR. Helmet, jacket, pants, boots, gloves. Yep, it's hot. You still need it.

Today is a rough, scary day. It's hard to feel helpless. So when I do, I try to do something good, however small.

My friend Ryan lost his job while caregiving for his mother, who has undergone chemo & a quadruple bypass.

Can u share & donate if u can? ❤️

SCOTUS just handed POTUS an amazing amount of power but I'm sure the coming 💿🐴 from the right will be Sotomayor's departure from decorum, probably including railing about her "lack of respect".

There are two kinds of people in the world: the people who think a mask ban at protests will only be used against people at a protest, and the people who know the LAPD will suddenly start calling two Black people hanging out outside “a protest.”

Recovery requires two things of us, above all else: it demands we get real with ourselves, & get compassionate w/ ourselves. We're not gonna recover from ANYTHING if we're either living in a fantasy world or kicking the sh*t out of ourselves out of habit.

Safe people will not lose their sh*t when you set boundaries or confront them about an aspect of their behavior. Everybody has moments of defensiveness sometimes-- but if you're consistently living in fear of someone's reaction to being confronted, that's worth noticing.

You're not the first, last, or only trauma survivor to get freaked out by the idea of "never again" when it comes to old ways of coping. Often we want to keep even a harmful "skill" in our back pocket for a rainy day. No shame-- just make sure it's not your only option.

*MOST* frivolous? I want to find and restore an example of the first car I ever owned - a 4-door, dark brown, 1979 Chevy Chevette with automatic transmission. Slightly less frivolous - I would drop a ton of money into finding and restoring some WWII-era airplanes because they are things of BEAUTY.

Splicing something into the circuit is, sadly, non-optional. Dunno why motion recognition didn't come to me, thanks. Simple light sensor MIGHT do it, with enough ambient light shield. Basically trying to build "if this is blinking more often than once every X seconds, tell me". Thanks!

Smart people of bsky: I'm looking for a way to set up a camera to monitor the blinkenlight on my water heater & trigger an alert (IFTTT or maybe send something to Home Assistant) so I know when it's erroring & needs a reset. Googling is not being helpful. Someone have a useful starting point?

There is no "safety" in self-cruelty. Shredding ourselves first will not stop others from hurting us. What it WILL do is make us dislike & distrust ourselves-- & we NEED to be on good terms w/ ourselves, we NEED our head & heart to be safe, if we're gonna realistically recover.
