A tale of two chairs. Or six chairs. Or three chairs complete and three not started. Two years, two short attention spans. Pretty great results so far! @cworthdynamics.bsky.social did the helpful bits, I picked things out and suffered poor impulse control and planning. Oh, and upholstery.
I've been getting a lot of sympathy texts from friends all over the country who know where I'm from and how much Dolly means to me and everyone else from East Tennessee. I thought about doing a nice bake or something, but honestly I'm just sad. And also it's not about me.
I'm enjoying Dungeon Crawler Carl. Downside to the audiobook version: Have you ever had to sit through a DM reading the rules of D&D to you for a game you're not even playing? Ever have your older brother try for the fifth time to explain the rules of MtG to you while you're trying to watch TV?
When life gives you C&H sugar, use it to feed their striking employees chocolate chip cookies. Fight on, Sugar People!
Sorry Star Trek Shop, having a campaign called "Space for Everybody" that has zero women's fit t-shirts is some BULLSHIT. Don't give me this "unisex" nonsense. Do better. shop.startrek.com/collections/...
Okay, so the overlap between D&D players/Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobook/NPR listeners is probably high enough to post this: Can we talk about the main guy sounding like @kairyssdal.bsky.social is trapped in an RPG? Jeff Hays doing the lord's work.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.
"IT: Welcome to Derry" should have been a crossover with Derry Girls.
Almost forgot to to share the pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting made for @skepchick.org's birthday! Frosting done in her favorite color, and liners done because she's now a cougar.
And you share a birthday with VP Harris's husband, so that's nice.
Strawberry Plains Patisserie@strawberryplains.bsky.social · 11mo agoHappy birthday to @cworthdynamics.bsky.social! May your Choux au Craquelin always be crispy and your Crème Pâtissière be creamy. And your birthday candles always be spooky gothic candelabra. Love you!
There are no ethical billionaires. Which should shock exactly no one. Article shared with me by @mariadsouza.bsky.social: ips-dc.org/report-givin...
The Giving Pledge at 15
15 years on, the Giving Pledge is unfulfilled, unfulfillable, and not our ticket to a fairer, better future.

Crazy Train has maybe the best guitar line in rock and roll. I can't think of another song which gets you in that headspace from the first opening riffs. Randy Rhoads was a genius.
Happy 14th wedding anniversary to my seatmate on this flight to Chicago, @cworthdynamics.bsky.social
TIL about the correlation between nicotine and ADHD and I understand my current levels of inattention and fixation (off the charts) so much better now. Quit smoking three years ago and BAM.
@adambecker.bsky.social, you know what to do.
Olivia Waite@oliviawaite.com · last yr.Lastly, RENEGADE GIRLS by Nora Neus and Julie Robine is a sapphic historical YA romance about two stunt girls, doing journalism undercover in garment factories. Sweet, queer, you’ll learn a lot but it’s never heavy, great summer historical.
Can we just have one show that doesn't use sexual violence as shorthand for "this is a villain?" It's exhausting and lazy. Please stop using r*pe as a cheap plot device, especially when female characters are required to forget about it by next episode because it didn't even matter. #andor #starwars
a woman stands in a field with the word andor written on the bottom
Alt: A woman stands in a field with the word "Andor" written on the bottom. Actresd Adria Arjona as Bix Caleen, the character for whom attempted r*pe was a minor contrivance to move the action along.

I can't pretend I'm withholding alumni donations because of this because they haven't gotten a dime from me since I graduated but WHAT THE FUCK. It's like they forget what being a university is even FOR. Fuck! 6abc.com/post/nyu-den...

omg a student somehow accidentally wrote an email addressed to a faculty-wide NYU listserv and my inbox is now a master class on who understands the difference between a listserv and an email chain
I need your help, internet. My in-laws and others are asking me what I want for Christmas and/or birthday. I have no idea! What DO I want for a present? All ideas welcome.
