Worf's Aunt Masha from Babruysk
@mashamasha.bsky.social
This is my hometown in the pfp. I immigrated to the US in 97. Gen X, mother to two millennials. I now have two cats! One was my son's but now he's all mine. I write code for a living. Hope for my country of birth to lose the war to 🇺🇦 soon.
(might still look into flying too, in fact. It's only an hour or two. How badly can an airline mess that up?)

I feel that, if the drive is under 8 hours, flying takes more time and is more of a hassle. And that's assuming your flight isn't delayed or cancelled.
Yes I'd be coming from Cleveland. Might take my chances anyway. Would have to be January though, this is a busy season at work.

I'm interested! The trip is a bit intimidating to make in the winter, but I'll see.
Only time I drove that far out east in the winter was to an event in NJ in February. Came a day early, it snowed and rained the whole way down and I was wondering if I should've waited a day. Next day, an ice storm

Confession, I'd never seen any of the shows until last year.
Got a Paramount+ subscription in 2020 specifically to watch them, and then, for another 4 years, didn't.
Started last year with the original series and am hooked. Now finishing TNG. Might take me the rest of my life, but I'm ok with it

Given that half the country is now running to the defense of someone who had to write a 650-word essay for a class assignment and only managed to squeeze out 630, I don't even know what "too long" means anymore*

Fair point. I prefer color. Only thing the flippers who sold my house to the person who sold it to me a few years later, did to my liking. Accent walls and all that. I agree, getting the art to look good with different color walls was a bit challenging.

Oh lord, we are in for a year of... something.
The WH functions will definitely be full of people wearing white, then.

I thought it was just the guide for what color to paint your walls if you want to put your house on the market this year
Congrats to my x husband, whose walls are already white because he never painted them in the 25 years he's lived in the house. When I lived there too, I kept saying we need to

Not once did my search results say to ring in the new year in a goddamn white sheet. Even post-Soviet culture, famous for its xenophobia, draws the line at that.
2026 is the year of red fire horse.
Pass it on.

Every year in November, I Google "в чем встречать новый год (year)" and then wear whatever colors come back.
My friend group used to throw a huge party on NYE and we all wore the colors to that. I lost that group in the divorce 15y ago, so this NYE it'll just be me in red lingerie with my cats.

I wait for it too, but mine came back as red, orange, and gold. Let me explain.
My culture, sometime in the 80s, started a tradition of wearing the colors of what the new year is going to be in the Chinese calendar, for NYE.
My culture is not Chinese, Chinese NY is not 1/1, but I got hooked

Idk how that kind of damage compares to Joe jizz. To be fair it was a full glass of wine so we are prob talking a lot less liquid. We did get it fixed eventually btw.

Everything stopped working all at once. At least, son had the presence of mind to immediately remove the battery.
I asked several friends who fixed computers for a living. One had a two-week wait to even look at it. Another had me bring it to his place, hit on me once there, & said he couldn't fix

Wouldn't that break the computer?
Most liquid I've ever seen spilled on a computer was when my then college-freshman son was showing us, at Thanksgiving dinner, the footage of Bernie giving a talk at his school, & in his excitement spilled a glass of red wine on my laptop. It was mayhem.

Spent several decades remembering it occasionally and going "but why did the wife hide a bottle of oven cleaner in the closet"
I swear, boomer jokes are something else.

"what did you give me? Not only did it not work, it made things worse! Give me my money back."
The Dr looks at the bottle and says, "young man, this is not what I gave you. I gave you Stay-Hard. This is Easy-Off."
I was today years old when I got this weird joke

he and his wife are getting all frisky and stuff, he excuses himself, runs to the linen closet and after a quick spray in the dark, dashes back to the bedroom. Alas, it's even worse than before. He's done within seconds.
The man comes back to the Dr office and slams the bottle on the Dr's table 3/
