More pastries, empathy, coffee, gender + reproductive liberty, punk rock, board games, TTRPGs, kick-ass women and girls, chill, enjoying life, and choco. Did I mention pastries? There is nothing more confusing than a Seattle spring.

I’ll ask about mechs next time I bring my car in for service there. (Given the construction down the street, maybe they’re building a hanger for the mechs?)

I was _almost_ tempted to watch it after reading Roadside Picnic, but laziness had its way with me. Sounds like that was a good outcome!

The kids are never alright, apparently. 😱 (me, outraged by the kids) On that other site, I followed someone who posted newspapers and other material from around the last several hundred years, all saying “The kids are the problem.” (I wonder if they moved over here. I should find them.)

Have you met “people”? (I think you have, and all your comments here are just trolling. Amirite?) I actually think this idea is genius: it will confuse time tracking so much, that people will never know when someone is late to work or a date or anything! 🤣🤣

@badlawyerpod.bsky.social I had to take a long break to calm down from the Anaheim cops 😱😱 in April’s “Thin Buffoon Wall”, but I just finished it. (Thankfully, it had some silver linings.)

I do not know how you two stay sane having to go deep into this crap. 🙏

I’m probably not having the right conversations, but I can’t recall knowing that someone, anyone, was a big Kzinti stan. Now I’m gonna go ask around!

I was also traumatized by (probably cheap) Turkish delight, but I’ve been assured that fresh Turkish delight is a billion times better. Now that my trauma has faded a bit, I believe “everyone likes their thing, and it’s ok if it’s different than what I like.” Also: “I’ll try anything once.”

Note the Wa Post's false virtue: "The Post typically does not identify victims of alleged sex crimes to protect their privacy. [...] Gibson originally live-streamed these sexual acts on a site that was not password-protected." Just own it: "Everyone was going to use her name, so we did it, too."

Susanna Gibson, who is running for the VA house, is being shamed for online sex acts. Well, it's also because she's a woman, but money and national media attention is due to politics.

Read the article for specific, but be forewarned, it might make you mad. ($) www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

I miss what Twitter used to be, and Naomi Wu was a big part of that. Her and her partner's personal jeopardy is fucked up. I wish I could do something to help.

This is a travel setup for visiting a particular place: I will borrow a single monitor, plus the “desk” is a card table and can’t take too much weight. I was just bedazzled by the two product videos. I picked the happy dude (but because of the product not the video). 🤣

Looking at product videos to pick between two single-arm, desk-mount monitor stands. Do I pick the model who has facial expressions galore? (He is SOOO HAPPY and SATISFIED.) Or the one who is mostly expressionless but subtly pleased by it all? (She can take a break from work to sip her water!)

Tips for newskies: 1. Block or mute. Don't spread the toxic goop. 2. Adjust moderation settings via browser to see butts. 3. Life here is simpler if you don't seek out the deep blusky lore. 4. We want to see your pet and hear about your project. 5. Likes are actually little forehead kisses.

Also FYI, my blocking policy for BlueSky is: - no strikes - no warnings - no hesitation - no mercy The first time I see an account be phobic, trollish or sea lion-y, to me or anyone, that's it, out of the pool, I won't even snark at you first, you do not deserve my delicious scorn, just gone, bye.

Since you win at hottest, I guess that means I’m the sweatiest account on Bluesky? When I checked earlier , tomorrow is supposed to be 1° cooler (89°)! 🥵🥵🥵 We’ll look back and laugh about this in September when The Rains begin, right? Hopefully? 😱🤪🤪😱

I can’t help being mixed up today. I’m happy because of my breakfast, and I’m sad because of its face.

IIRC, the movie and the book are almost the same, certainly in their cores. The movie is, unsurprisingly, streamlined and maybe simplified, but I think it has a more positive ending. They both hit the feels.
