If you’re trans or otherwise have awful trauma associated with family at holidaytime, allow me to say that it’s ok, we’re family now and you’re safe here. Heal, stay hydrated, eat as much stuffing or pecan pie as you want, and remember that you are loved.

At this point in my life, I don’t even want to buy a home. I just wanna live and die with a modicum of comfort, and maybe, like, 30% happiness.

Me, to my Executive Function on any given day:
patrick star from spongebob squarepants is standing next to a fire hydrant and says that 's okay take your time
Alt: patrick star from spongebob squarepants is standing next to a fire hydrant and says “that's okay, take your time.” In context of the episode, Patrick and SpongeBob are searching for the real Squidward. In context of this post, it’s self-referential of me trying to coax my executive function to work.

We need to primary every one of these traitorous fuckbags and get them out of office ASAP.
Call them. Tell them not to surrender.
And if that doesn’t work, try 202-224-3121

Put me in coach, I think I can do better than Fetterman. At least I wouldn’t betray the well-being of Pennsylvanians and Americans.

@techconnectify.bsky.social I cannot string together any amount of words that appropriately express how grateful I am when you upload videos; they always scratch an itch in my brain and I love learning random tech/appliance stuff. And also, a personal thank you for being thoughtful (persnickety)

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jim Self, a cherished member of the ITEA family and a true inspiration to all. Jim will be missed but will live on through his recordings, Award, compositions, and long history of generosity.

Alright any moots that see this.
I’m getting off this crumbling deck before it collapses.
If you wanna keep in touch with me, please send me a DM and I’ll connect with you on Discord or text.
Otherwise I’ll be deleting all my Bluesky accounts later this month [October] (probably).

So. Let me just say this.
To those who are in the dark and going 'well I'm not sure what's up so it can't be a big whoop'
And those who are not in the dark going 'well c'mon this isn't a big woop'
Regarding Bluesky, protecting marganlized people and groups, Jay, T&S and waffles
