Summer ferry ride: peaceful except for the car alarms and the loudspeaker announcements calling out individual car make, model, and license plate to get the owner’s attention.

Quilting, jewelry, maker-of-things. She/her. Disabled but only on the inside. Intent on polluting the shades of Pemberly. I don’t know how many ways I can tell ya’ll that I’m not a writer. Seriously. I wish I were.
This squirrel is ready to fuck some shit up. Do not let the fluffy tail fool you.

Not giving NYT a click to find out what a cardiologist who happily reveals his past patient’s info has to say about Trump’s health.
STOP GIVING A SHIT WHAT THE RIGHT WING FREAKS ARE GOING TO SAY ABOUT YOU.
monarch of ashes@cephalopod.bsky.social · 2d agothey called Obama a communist in 2008 and here we are, 18 years later having learned nothing, still shitting our pants over being called communists stop giving a shit what the right wing freaks are going to say about you and gain some principles to stand by
My 76-year-old mother: Yes, I have two neurodivergent daughters but I'm definitely neurotypical, it must come from their dad's side of the family Also my mother: I never wear nail polish because it makes my fingernails feel like they're suffocating
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoRFK Jr on autism: "'Oh, we're just noticing it more.' But this is an absurdity ... if we were just noticing it more, we would notice it in older groups. But we're not ... so something happened in the mid '90s that changed our children"
Two quick pics. Hummingbird enjoying the last of pineapple sage, and Of course the breeze died down the minute I grabbed my phone to capture the fluffiness of fireweed in the breeze.
i think a good amount of the anti-vax stuff you're hearing more and more from Republicans is that they are afraid of needles and trying to rationalize that they don't want to get an owie
Dorothy Parker! “This book is not to be tossed lightly aside, but to be hurled with great force. “
“I fucking earned it, by having to listen to my brother every time he opened the hole in his extremely punchable face” is not a great way to acquire a seat actually.

Or Martha Wells. She'll make stories fun again. I guess what I'm saying is read a fun book written by a cool woman.
I fucking love a compendium.
Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com · 3d agoA novella collection including previously published titles: Unlocked, Talk Sweetly to Me, Her Every Wish, and Mrs. Martin's Incomparable Adventure. With a title like that, what more do you really need to know, though? /jb Amazon: www.amazon.com/a/dp/... Apple: books.apple.com/us/b...
You know what’s super-fun, as a parent? Attending multiple appointments and holding a screaming baby multiple times instead of just once, for NO FUCKING REASON.
Maggie Astor@maggieastor.bsky.social · 3d agoNo, there's no reason to split up the MMR vaccine. No, vaccines don't come in vats. Yes, a lot "bad can happen from what we’re doing."
lol help the first three positive reviews of a local bookstore include the word “gem”. Maybe it’s organic. I don’t know. But it LOOKS unbelievable. Also idk if it’s them or their payment processor, but I keep getting requests for a review. Dislike.
Ok what is going on with the truck selling “20 ribeyes for $35”? That can’t be cow meat, right? It’s actually a murder-van?
My thread numbering will continue to be a joke, deliberately, and I’m not sorry.

Nooooo, the lab waiting room is for looking at your phone and listening to the receptionist make lighthearted jokes with the regulars. There should be a home makeover show on the TV and a Christmas tree they never take down, but just change the decorations on seasonally.
Today is “meet my new endocrinologist” day, so. Hope and dread. It’s a woman, so at least I won’t have to remind her of basic biology while pretending that I’m not. No “because of my monthly cycle” shit! Yay!!!!!
Look, everyone dies of something, but I have fewer, lighter wrinkles than my mom did at my age and I think that’s cool.

“Maybe if we infect them with salmonella they’ll forget about the cyclospora outbreak! Genius!”
Tyler King@tyleraking.com · 4d agoRECALL: Taylor Farms is pulling pre-packaged salsa and guacamole for contaminated jalapenos.
Am I finishing my dress for the wedding next weekend? No. I decided that Today Was the Day to swap my Summer and Fall decor, which also involves cleaning and moving furniture.
Getting blocked for pointing out that Sundown towns were real, that the movie The Purge even used Sundown town sirens, and that the premise of the Purge is dystopian horror for white people, but echoes reality for Black people.🤷🏿♂️ I'm OK with the block.
Mekka Okereke@mekka.mekka-tech.com · 5d agoExcept... The Purge was not an absurd premise? It was real, and really happened. The real life version of the purge wasn't one night a year. It was every single night. Again, a lot of dystopian horror is just "What if someone treated us the way we treated Black people?"
Fun Fact: If you don’t have a discount code at a supermarket or whatever, try entering that with the local area code. I’ve had it work 90% of the time. Did once have a Young Go-Getter Cashier tell me that entering a fake code was a crime. I looked him dead in the eye and told him to call the cops.

Imagine the preventative care people would get if every medical encounter wasn’t Financial Russian Roulette. Imagine the savings, if small medical stuff was caught and treated before it became BIG MEDICAL STUFF.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoEl-Sayed: "Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that system if we knew our healthcare would be free at point of care"
On CNN, El-Sayed is asked about this Trump post. He says it represents "two different visions of America:" "Two people who don't like each other but are joined in the interest of making billions of dollars off of you. Or, two people who genuinely love each other, enjoying some panacakes together."
It’s time for wine and a show! Yayyyy! What show? I don’t know yet.
