Listen to today's Behind the Bastards. There's history there that people don't believe when I tell them, but Robert Evans is more convincing than I am.
Gay Girl John Oliver time is the best time
You know what time it is? It's Gay Girl John Oliver time! This week, @jordanjamboree.pittbert.gay went to the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, @victoriascott.bsky.social figured out what's wrong with American Senators, and Some Events ™ have altered the WEC schedule!
Speaking of sex work - I once had a zombie apocalypse dream where I traveled with a roving group of sex workers trading sex (them) and English lessons (me) for bullets. I still think this could work out to being a really good end of the world scenario. I'm not above selling sex, just unattractive
Sex work is still work, even if we don't like the person doing it. So let's criticize the bored Nazi girl's takes, not what she's showing while giving them.
I've been listening to a lot of back episodes of leftist policy, commentary, culture, and news podcasts out of the UK lately. These are my current emotional support podcasts and I just got really excited a new episode of @railnatter.uk just dropped.
Tonight's crippling embarrassment brought to you by remembering a conversation ten years ago where I explained myself badly.
It's such a weird thought to me, those people who hit the Pacific ocean and thought they found the edge of the frontier. I come from people who went North to Alaska. Or to Hawaii. Often both. Those frontiers ended too but there's always more places.
I don't know why my house in rural NC is on the flight path of some really cool planes but I have become addicted to Flight Tracker. I must be directly between somewhere naval and Norfolk.
It's extra fun that my county's cyclospora outbreak is unrelated to the rest of the country's cyclospora outbreak so we're bonus special food unsafe. NC Cyclosporiasis parasite exploding diarrhea cases surge, not connected with outbreak nationwide | abc11.com share.google/dFyviD1oc9bb...

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply
The discussion on The Daily Zeitgeist this morning is about how white USians never just say they're American, instead reaching back to a distant euro ancestry. I do. I feel like if you don't say you're from the US you are disavowing responsibility for years of really shit history in order to ..
Personal jump scares aside, nobody tells a story like @socialistdogmom.bsky.social - if you aren't listening to Weird Little Guys you need to be. I listen to all the Cool Zone shows and it has long since surpassed BTB as the most impressive and heartbreaking show to me.
Reed Massengill himself sounds like a really cool guy and it's unfortunate that he is related to that asshole. I am related to a lot of others. Probably should have held my tongue.
I about had a heart attack when one of my very unique family names turned up in @socialistdogmom.bsky.social 's weird little guys but thank heck I'm not related to Byron de la Beckwith and I know for a fact because one ornery ancestor wanted his name spelled exactly how it's said, Massingill.
This is what I'm talking about!!! (also first 50 pages of Otaku by Kluwe are really good)
Clip #2 Allyship and gratitude.
To use my mom's phrase, the reason the whole Graham Platner thing really gripes my butt on a personal level is that I would have actually really liked to go into politics but I am unelectable and have always known this. And this asshole goes and does what he does.
Honestly kind of proud of my nephew for making an argument to his parents with a data dump in the family discord chat to see if he could get any other adults to back him up. Unfortunately he's trying to get more night time computer time so he's going to lose, but he's clever about it.
the World Cup final will be between two teams that Cape Verde played even through 90 minutes
We didn't have hoagies, so I had Philly poutine for dinner (cheese steak innards over fries) and my husband had Philly tacos (same in a tortilla). I spent the whole meal wondering if @wtyppod.bsky.social and @donoteat.bsky.social would be bemused or horrified. New ep of @trainsatlantic.uk today!!
My desire to learn easy robotics has never been greater
This one actually made it to Mars but never deployed because its lander died

My timeline is alternating horrors and wholesome content. I know a lot of people don't like Bluesky but at least there's baby peacocks to break up ICE murders and explosive diarrhea
