"but who are we, so small in times such as these?" Mefite. Here to talk to my friends. Posts seldom, reposts lots. Super boring.
Incredible run of photos, showing Randolph St (Millennium Station) in early 1977, by Lou Gerard.
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
Today a debt collector tried to get me on the hook for a smidge over 17 grand that my mother owed to a nursing home. Nice try, lady; would you have gotten a bonus if it worked?
More thunderstorms. The power blipped out for a second or two, causing the printer to reboot, causing the dog to hide in the bathroom. It must make a bad noise that only she can hear.
Okay. I ordered readers the same magnification as the magnified parts of my bifocals. The good news is, they come in six packs. Hopefully these will work as my new computer glasses and I'll stop having to tilt my head all the way up to see anything.
Rain all this morning. It stopped, so I quickly took the dog out. Not five minutes later, MORE RAIN. Eh, we need it. And she went poo.
Those of you with bifocals, how on earth do you function at computers without wrecking your neck? Are there bifocal computering glasses? Can I get them on Zenni?
"lockdown" for me started in March 2020 and ended April fifth of this year, since my mom was medically fragile. But she didn't die of COVID, so I did that right. It's still weird for me to just.. go places. Like after counseling last week I went to two thrift stores! With other people in them!
Watched a multi-acre fire break out before my very eyes and then watched a bunch of helicopters show up and put it out. Government was a good idea, it should do more things like that instead of evil and corruption
No cheating post your lock screen. Abstract something or other that reminds me of agates and farmland from a plane.

Oh I have had a week. Been dealing with this data breach and changing passwords nonstop, then my new job (hopefully temporarily) suspends me for who knows what reason. I got a new desk chair though, so that's nice. It's the kind you can sit crosslegged in. *flop, whine*
Scenes from Helena, a 1924 German silent epic about the Trojan War
BELIEVE WOMEN If anyone else finds themself in a similar situation, please call your local sexual assault/domestic violence agency, or SANE nurses. They can help you get the legal system to take you seriously. #ACAB
indi@indik.bsky.social · 4d agoMy elderly disabled mother was molested by a male nurse in a nursing home. The cops came, took the story from me because she was too distraught to tell it, told me she was probably making it up "because old people do that," then said they couldn't act unless she told them instead of me. Useless.

Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
A society that relegates caretakers, home makers and domestic labor to the lower caste, is a society that hates itself and it's mother.
People potentially subject to the nyc pied-à-terre tax are being treated with 1% of the administrative hostility of SNAP and Medicaid applicants, and they’re throwing 100x the fit
Speaking of Mina and the time she got stuck to the fly trap...
indi@indik.bsky.social · 4d agoMina the Destroyer, angry as hell after an impromptu haircut because she got stuck to a fly strip.
Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?
there’s just so many people i should not know about
I have a distinct memory of a glorious illustration of ice age megafauna, which is probably why I still love ice age megafauna.
S. Kramer@libraryephemera.bsky.social · 7d agoWere you a child who read The World Book Encyclopedia for fun?
I have a confession to make: I'm a sleep texter. Apparently I've made a habit of waking up at past three, checking my phone, replying to stuff, then going back to sleep. I don't remember it later. It's usually one word. It's usually one syllable words. Weird.
Seamstress? With a little training I could do that. Quiet, Pratchett readers, not *that* kind of seamstress.
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · last wk.Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?
