Less #doomscrolling. More #cats in boxes & #snow days.
It's gonna be a long while. Get comfy while you can, folks.
#friday take:
Driving in the #rain after spending most of the night before arguing with your spouse is a #feel.

Sometimes when I'm walking away from a conversation, I feel like there should be the sad Charlie Brown music playing.

Oh lordy Lord: a #thread. This one time I wrote about 2k words, not counting footnotes and sources that I pitched to an editor at a #media company that spelled out exactly how the deep #cultural divisions in our country were the result of a calculated strategy on behalf of a foreign state. /1

No one: "we need more #banjo #music."
Me: "gotcha covered fam."

Sunny the #cat says the bed is for sleeping and other, far less frequent activities than social media.

I promise I'll care about #politics tomorrow. I super duper swear to be outraged and watch #tv & #content for the endless #media buffet of outrage, consumerism, dopamine & dick pills for everyone. But for now, I'm just gonna go to bed & hope Lightspeed Briefs doesn't send me a dream commerical

In these divided times, it's important to remember one man can bring us all together. That man was Freddie Mercury 😔

#country things:
Living rurally and #homesteading is a rewarding, beautiful experience, but damn if it's not hard at times. Fortunately the #toyota highlander has 4WD to get up and down my heavily iced gravel driveway. #Cat #picture because why not.

This little girl #cat doesn't know that I bought a propane fueled #flamethrower to partially de-ice my driveway. Nor does she know the sheer delight and terror I felt as I watched inches of ice melt away. As a lifelong shooter, I'm flabbergasted I've filled out more paperwork for a 22 #rifle.

Bee came in around #Halloween, before the weather turned really cold. I'd say he made himself at home quickly. He's the goober of my heart.

For those of you who are going out to #protest today,n please remember the following:
Dark clothes
No visible tattoos
Face coverings
Cell phones can and have been tracked-if you must have one, airplane mode for whatever good it actually does
Don't stop at McDonald's in Altoona, PA
Stay #safe.

I've spent most of the morning watching handloading videos. While it looks incredibly methodical and time/💲 consuming, theres a measure of calm joy the presenters have, reminiscent of Bob Ross. I'm cautiously optimistic with the right tools and knowledge, I can actually do this.

@mischamusemodel.bsky.social welcome to another platform. Hopefully a billionaire doesn't shit this one up...

Some #friday #poetry #reminiscing about a visit with a friend from #RVA to make sure I was ok in #NoVa. I had to shorten it up a little since #bluesky only allows 60 seconds for video uploads.

Ever want to do something and realize that someone else did it far better than you could ever could? If Uncle Steve is right, I might as well try anyway

We used to have 24 hours diners on most corners. Now you're left with choosing between Waffle House & Sheetz

@realadultswim.bsky.social I watched Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell while getting over #covid during Christmas. Good show but #weird dreams, man.

Imaginary scenario time:
Me passing by a storm drain at work. A Voice from the sewers calls
"Hello, Charlie"
Fuck you, fuck this job. Come find me at home, Pennywise, and deal with the Appalachian haints in my backyard.

The single occupancy bathroom at Walmart provides a nice little sanctuary for when I'm forced to leave the house.

A #poem I wrote about #protest season in #Portland.

I just realized that I have two #poems referencing the same person, the same sequence of events, played out over time. 🤷‍♂️

A #poem about an evening I spent with a friend after a night in #DC, and a morning in #NoVA. I still think about her from time to time.
