You too can block 50-100,000 feral poasters!
many people on here might benefit from
blocking 50-100,000 people. this site is still perfectly usable if you screen out 50-100,000 people. i cannot recommend highly enough blocking 50-100,000 people.

Mmmmm… getting to order lamb over rice, white sauce, hot sauce and not have the proprietor question if I actually want the hot sauce is an unexpected delight.
Feet hurt, but can’t win them all.

The everything is a lot, but I just got to celebrate the 50th birthday of a friend who has been a loving, welcoming presence in my life since we were three years old.
There’s good in the world. It’s worth remembering. And worth sticking up for. Even when it seems bleak.

Happy(?) to report that the trains are still well stocked with Weird Dudes.

Having to make phone calls before coffee is cruel and unusual even when it’s to people I love, not @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov, but guys…

I was on the way back from the Sirens game to Astoria last night and realized that I wasn’t hunching my shoulders or clenching my teeth. I was just unusually relaxed in the company of dear friends.
That was nice while it lasted.

Bedtime cat seems to have decided that I should be a back sleeper (am not, never have been) and is enforcing it by spending all night asleep on my chest
Also she requires pets, so my arms are cold…
Soft little tyrant.

I have to go home at lunchtime today to meet the HVAC contractor - system's up and running (and what a delight to wake up in a warm house!) but he has some cleanup left to do.
So obviously, at 10am, I'm looking at my watch like, "is it lunchtime yet?"
