I use Bluesky as a brain dump a lot of the time. If I want advice or suggestions, I’ll ask for it. I recognize this is a public forum, and there’s nothing stopping you from being a Reply Guy. Likewise, there’s nothing stopping me from blocking you. Don’t be a jerk.
I may need this on my kindle for my painful trip to GA….

Good reminders here!!
Holiday anxiety is starting again. Remember, you don't have to deal with people who don't like you. Look to museums, clubs, restaurants, and friends for gatherings so you don't need to be alone. And if you want to be alone, that's okay.

I did it!! Perfect week across Move, Stand, and Exercise rings.
Just in time to sit in the car for 9 hours tomorrow/Saturday 🤪

I’m on the verge of getting a perfect week on my Apple Watch. I’m normally terrible at hitting the stand goal, but for whatever reason, this week has been great.
So I have a timer running to make sure I get up and walk around for a few minutes at the start of every hour until I hit the goal today.

Uhhhh, do dead plants count? Or LEGO flowers?
Also, rustic pottery - not really my jam but I do have an excess of coasters.
Definitely have a stash of obsolete cables - need to get them together for the next e-recycling event.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Where’s the drag queen? Oh, wait …
1/ It should be forgiven. It should be forgotten. If she spoke of it again, the sins would be hers, she was told.
But she could never forget. And neither could the other girls.
This is the story of how her church enabled a child abuser for years 👇

I am having one of those nights where the body is tired but the mind is doing the shrill “EEEEEEEEEEEEE” noise like a thousand mosquitos and I can’t settle enough to sleep despite being well medicated. Fuck.

“How many meals can you personally make out of contents of your pantry?”
“Where did your most recent pet come from and why?”
“How many times have you had to eat lower-quality food in order to make rent/buy food for pets or children/elderly in your household?”

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

I keep wondering why I’m so tired and then remembering -
- Not enough sleep
- I’ve started walking on the treadmill at work, 15 min in the morning at 15 min after lunch, at a 2.8 mph pace
