Just here to scream into the void. Sometimes I make things. She/her. Pagan witch. Autistic w/ a double scoop of C-PTSD.
The post-holiday friends gathering Feast Of Pies was so good but I am so full of pie.

Cornish Pasties and Samosa Pie for the savory starter:

This meditation creates an anchor with a moment in your life where you felt especially fulfilled, happy, joyful, and otherwise in a state of bliss & safety.  These images can be called up later when you especially need to refresh & restore your sense of self.

Writing about my wife’s naked political corruption like a Dan Brown novel
This is a lot, but (allegedly) Olivia Nuzzi sent a secret recorder with a sketch artist to tape Trump at Mar-a-Lago so she could feed campaign intel to RFK, where [pauses to take a breath] something Trump said about his assassination attempt “would shatter our understanding of recent history”??

Look, I know a lot of us here have felt like Cassandra re: authoritarianism, anti-trans, anti-LGBTQ, anti-woman, white Christian nationalism growth over the past several years, but... I'm reading @brynntannehill.bsky.social "American Fascism" published in April 2021...

"Assume everyone I interact with online is struggling with their mental health" has only become a more important guiding principle in the past couple years
My personal guidelines for dealing with people on social media:

Assume everyone is a friend you haven't yet gotten to know.
Assume everyone is struggling with their mental health
Don't promise any emotional labor you might not be able to provide
If someone seems like a hater, disengage right away

Our Friendsgiving is the day after Thanksgiving, & we just get together & eat pie. Feast of Pies. It's amazing.

Apple pie w/ rosemary. Samosa pie. Cream pies, store-bought pies, flight of fancy pies. All pies are welcome.

One year I made a bleu cheese quiche topped w/ duxelles & sliced ribeye.

my take on Food Discourse is that it's always ridiculous but it's also nice to be fighting about dumb internet shit again instead of dealing with Oppressive Despair all the time so please keep posting your bad takes

Wikipedia: "The character is based on AM from Harlan Ellison's short story 'I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream', with the difference—according to Gooseworx—that "instead of AM being a living embodiment of hate, he's a fun-loving wacky little guy."

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.

But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

With @adn.com
Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names.
When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

Omg @jordansbrock.bsky.social & @leavesdancing.bsky.social I need to post my own local version of this by my pond, right?
You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

At this point X is like 1950s Vienna, a whole place made up entirely of spies, running ops against other spies, with no non-spy people. Or maybe like a 1971 Black Panthers convention where 3/4 of the attendees are conintelrpo.

the turkey discourse exists solely because you've never had a smoked turkey before, you just order the thing and it shows up delicious and you don't have to do jack shit other than pick at it

Remember the two weeks when people thought they found an “infinite money glitch” at ATMs but instead they just reinvented check fraud?
I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.
AirBnB CEO calling it “vibe revenue” just 👨‍🍳 😘

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.
