The annoying thing about staying in a hotel on vacation is seeing all the dads who are on vacation but their wives haven't been able to join them yet because the kids... but live your best vacation life dads.

If you see me on here it's probably because I'm avoiding homework. But also I like a lot of things and to talk about them.
It is 1986, and I am traumatized by the death of Optimus Prime. It is 2026, and I am traumatized by the death of Optimus Prime. #petercullen

good #copolitics work for @kylec.bsky.social and team tracking down Not Shook LLC. i'd looked around some but have other fish to fry, so to speak...
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · 3d agoNEW: Victor Marx's campaign won't say where supporters' money goes when they buy campaign merch or $1300 meetings with Marx himself. Our investigation linked the online shop to an out-of-state company with hidden owners. Then we found a document revealing the owner: Victor Marx.
Did they just give the people what they want? (The edit button will come any time now I'm sure)

So we're visiting Santa Fe this week and we visited the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. Now through November 1 this year they have an exhibit called Tewa Nangeh/Tewa Country which shows Native Tewa artists' works in conversation with O'Keefe. It fundamentally shifted something inside me go if you are able.
Wish I had automated moderation for the guy at the hotel trying to have sexy talk on speaker phone. 🙄
It's also my first concrete memory: Charles and Diana's wedding on the television at my grandma's house. I made a train from a roll of toilet paper and grandma got mad and made me roll it all back on. 😅
Black Aziz Anansi@blackazizanansi.blacksky.app · 5d agoWhat's the first historic event that you remember?
An important first step? They think this was the first time they did this? oh target, I never have to say never change because you really just don't.

It's so cute when people think freelancing is just 'being your own boss' and doing whatever when you are in fact a single person running a small business who rarely gets time off, is under constant existential stress, and routinely works 10+-hour days. I worked from 8am to...just now today.
I remember being told repeatedly that Joe Biden would not be the president we remembered as losing abortion rights under and yet here we are, that happened
ashley fairbanks@ziibiing.com · 4d agoit feels reassuring to sit back and look at things people told me I was being dramatic about and realize I was not, in fact, being dramatic at all. the nazis did take over twitter. the fascists did take away abortion rights and are coming for our democracy. AI is already subverting human rules.
I've found nothing makes a man more mad than telling him his Enneagram is astrology for men. I mean look at it:
Sunsette / Cynthia Skye@sunderedmarches.com · 4d ago[lots of valid concerns over people taking astrology seriously] [guy pokes his head in, clears his throat] "Women should be aware that an interest in astrology makes them less desirable to men."
This is "stop calling it slop" but instead it's "stop touching my surveillance state."

If you're in the Denver area and you're outdoorsy, please consider getting and using a bear bell. There have been multiple sightings of bears EXTREMELY low down (my husband just saw one yesterday when on the peaks to plains trail). The weather this year has made food scarce at higher elevations.
This film was made in New Mexico using tons of local labor and talent and I just want it to be known that proud champions of the NM film community did a LOT to make this happen and I am grateful for y'all
ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social · 6d ago‘Coyote vs. Acme’ includes a message in the film’s end credits thanking the audience for saving the film: “Dedicated to everyone who posted, shared, held up signs and spoke out when it counted. This film made it to the big screen because of you.”
The important thing about traveling at a certain age is to get enough fiber daily. May I recommend doing so in Santa Fe and enjoying the seasoned pintos (with green chiles) and black beans (also with green chiles)?
Optimist: the cup is half full. Pessimist: the cup is half empty. Actor: What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end: O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop To help me after? I will kiss thy lips; Haply some poison yet doth hang on them

Watching these documentaries about the worst exes and worst neighbors has shown me beyond any doubt that police officers do not prevent crime. Half the time, they don't even solve it. What other kind of job has such a low success rate but still remains so central to society?
I am annoyed by how much of politics , policy, and media is about being forced to participate in , or be an unwilling witness to Other people’s kinks
I wondered when this would drop. I'm not sure the argument is really salient. Mostly parents need to notice that the concert listing isn't bright pink and purple really.

I've pretty much stopped applying for something if it's listed on the Workday platform unless it's state/local gov. In case anybody was wondering: the job search still sucks.
The biggest trick is the myth of police reform. Police training is inherently violent and racist at its core
I Travel Like Sound Dog@chadstanton.blacksky.app · 2w agoPart of why more training is ineffective here is that the trainers themselves are deeply immersed in this culture and tailor their offerings to meet it.
As the queer kid my parents went no contact with I can tell you I’ve never once not one single time ever seen an essay to parents about why cutting contact off with your lgbtq child isn’t the answer. Not even to say ‘putting a child on the streets is dangerous for them.’

Hallmark offering a wide variety of holiday DVD releases featuring 2025, and earlier, titles. Including single discs with "bonus" movies, usually featuring the same star, and 3, 6 and 12-movie "collections" that seem rather randomly assembled. Pre-orders available now, with Oct-Nov release dates.
Ho! Ho! Holiday Viewing!@sleepykittypaw.bsky.social · last yr.Another new Hallmark DVD trend, offering "bonus" movies on new release discs, either featuring the same star as main movie or similar theme. Several upcoming releases have these "also includes," often older titles.
I made this recipe tonight but failed to take a picture! It was delicious. Three things: TJ Birria is a fine roast beef but not actually birria, I'm using pizza crust next time, and those roasted tomato things are delicious! They're partway between roasted tomato and sundried tomato.
