My smoke alarm in my bedroom has been going off every 5-30 minutes for two hours now and I've cleaned it and replaced the battery and it's not that old and it just keeps fucking happening and I'm going out of my mind.

I took my first ever trip to Costco yesterday, and I bought a pair of snow pants.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

After editing a new episode of Bi-Mon Sci-Fi Con recently, I decided to unlock this episode where @abandonthought.bsky.social and I talked about CONTACT (1997) because I think it's a great proof of concept. It's nice to talk about good movies too!

It's Invisible Disabilities Week 🫶🏽
Not all disabilities are visible and that doesn't make them any less real.

Lately horror movies have been not scaring me at all. Stuff I know would normally terrify me, I just feel... nothing.
I think it's related to a medication, and I do not like it one bit.

My beautiful baby girl had an ear infection recently and lost her hearing. She doesn't seem to mind, and she's been quick to pick up my use of hand signals in substitute for words.

Just removed "Hurricanes hockey fan" from my profile.
This is devastating me. I was looking forward to this season to provide an ounce of relief from the hell that is everyday right now. But I can't ignore this.

It's cool that guys making tens of millions are like, "yeah one benefit of signing here is I don't have to give a small amount of money to fund public schools and disability services," and we treat this as shrewd navigating rather than an abomination.

I just got a "Blue Alert" on my phone about a man wanted in GEORGIA (I'm in NC) for assault on a police officer.
This ridiculous use of the emergency alert system INFURIATES me.
