I had a mix tape but never learned to make one myself; I wasn’t fancy to have my own waterbed but I’ve been on one; just missed the Walkman but had a mini stereo thing; of course I played with the phone cord, what else was there to do while sitting on the floor next to the phone?

Did they really only allow the 1 woman half a body there, with extra space on the other side of the image? I mean, I see it, I just can’t believe they’re that blatant

I sound like a conspiracy theorist even to myself, but I think my city council is planning to sell our downtown central library and city hall to a casino. And no one is talking about at least the library part, very little about the casino part, so it’s difficult to push back.

Means testing and sussing out freeloaders tends to cost just as much as if we'd just let it go, honor system style! So exasperating.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

@rahaeli.bsky.social Tagging you because you seem to know most things - I've been having trouble with proprioception after Covid (I mask in public but have roommates), and was wondering if you had any suggestions about ways to improve it? I've taken 1 flight since 2020, and when I closed my eyes it

After years of planning, I finally put up a free little library - first in my neighborhood. The Friends of the Library have been giving me leftover books from their sales, and I’m right on one of the feeder streets to the park.

I haven’t stopped thinking about the skirt that @dieworkwear.bsky.social posted a few weeks ago, from the tailor in South Korea who hand sews everything. Does anyone know if there are sewing lessons online for something like this?

I’m 41 and definitely in the “ongoing” part of this feeling. Before he died my dad was reading several books on experiences of the afterlife, and the conclusion was that our purpose here is to be kind. So I try and be kind, even in the midst of everything. I’ve already had so many life pivots 1/2
Those of you 40 and up… how did you manage that whole “what am I doing with my life?” “Did I waste my life?” Feeling
(obvs if you didn’t feel that way this question isn’t for you)

Stage manager/traveling stage manager. I’m great with organizing details and also at telling people what to do. Not sure how long I could do it though, I bet the stress adds up.
What job are you extremely unlikely to ever get that you think you would kick ass at?
I think I could book compelling wrestling storylines.

A cold front in Texas in July, amazing. The perfect time to get some gardening done, but I might just settle for sitting next to the open window.

And with the new variant coming! A double benefit!
One thing you can do to help protesters? Mask up.
Continue to make widespread masking as normal as possible.
