The Gringo
@elgringofeo.bsky.social
Weed n documentaries n dogs n MPLS n computer games n jazz n social equality n movies n the library n being brokeass n stuff. I wrote 4 books, ~250 newspaper articles, a couple dozen magazine articles, and countless online pieces. A.I. stole all of it.
Hey I wanna take a minute to thank everyone who's not a cis white Gen-X dude for welcoming me into your spaces and lives & giving me an opportunity to not act like a cis white Gen-X dude, hope I haven't let you down. There's no hate in my heart but there's probably still some ignorance in my brain.
Kiwi is having all kinds of good times on walks this week! Ran into one of her (and mine and @elgringofeo.bsky.social 's) favorite people on our walk this morning 😊❤️ #neighborhood #dogslife #dogs #dogsky #mansbestfriend
Hey paper towel manufacturers do you suppose you could develop a deployment method that doesn't involve me massacring the 1st sheet with my fingernails + sheets of collateral damage? I'm sure it would cost you a fraction of a penny per roll to actually make it convenient. Hugs and kisses, Gringo

All right, if anybody needs a contact high I'm headed to the library and the grocery store. I'm also going to grab the stack of books I keep meaning to seed the neighborhood's little libraries with. Somebody put a few jazz CDs in theirs and now I feel like I owe karma.
Just taking a dance break while I'm waiting for the train. How about you? #dancing #trains #chicagoel #danryanexpressway #joyful #austinpowers #beard
#NowSpinning: I just changed the needle on my tt--since I'm a music fan instead of an "audiophile" I refuse to call it a stylus--and this is when I usually spin Yes 90125 (yep, because of the bridge of "Hold On"). Decided to mix it up a bit, and thankful I did. Ahhhh... #MusicSky #VinylSky #Santana
Look, we all may be digital consciousness copies inside a future ancestor simulator gone amok, but at least we're not the level of digital constructs that have to complete jumping puzzles. Oh shit--do we still have jumping puzzles coming up? Who's got a cheat code? Trade ya for the weed hack...
I have a new turntable needle coming in today's mail and I don't want to spin any platters until it does because they'll just sound like old needle.
Angel is the first dog I met (outside the house) when I moved to the neighborhood 10 years ago. She had 4 legs then; the poor dear lost one to cancer. But as you can see, she's still going strong and able to keep up with lil Kiwi. #DogSky
@creative-bycolleen.bsky.social · 3d agoLook who we ran into out for a walk just now!!! Kiwi couldn't be happier ☺️ ❤️ #3legged #germanshepherd #kiwi #dogslife #dogsofbluesky #BFF #doglover

God dammit I am tired of seeing Blue MAGA's fucking AI slop getting shared out everywhere. People, please, if you can't tell the difference, there's no requirement to share out someone else's slop. Take your own pics, draw or paint something, or just, y'know, use your words. #FuckAI #FuckBlueMAGA

OK, time to do some mushroom gummies and weed gummies and hit the vape pen and load up some of the weekend weed in the bong and then try to function in some video games. (They don't list that challenge factor in the Options menu.) #WeedSky

Yes, stupid immoral assholes have done far too well for basically forever, but right now, it feels like being a stupid immoral asshole has become the ONLY way to do well. That is a problem.

Wellp, the library is right next to McDonald's Liquors, so had to stop and get some THC bevvies on the way home. This one touts 85 mg of various 'noids! I feel like this is the last year I'll be able to get away with the overindulgence of using an entire tray of ice cubes in my glass. #WeedSky
All right, I'm headed to the library. Anybody need anything? Books or some shit?
#NowSpinning: I forget which of yaz is the dj who introduced me to #Threesday , but my patience wore out before producing favorable results when I searched the hashtag. You know who you are. Here's 2x 3x for double the triple goodness! #MusicSky #JazzSky #WesMontgomery #FrankSinatra
