Over 5 hours after I was supposed to land in Boston, I have landed in Manchester. On a different airline.

I am so tired. But I’ll be home soon.

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

This is a friend of a friend and it is an incredibly sweet and geeky story!
On Friday I proposed to @ohcatrina.bsky.social, and she said yes!! We are #engaged. I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with someone who constantly inspires me, encourages me, entices me, and makes me laugh. We've had so many adventures so far and I know even greater ones are in store! 🧵

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

If you aren’t ready to stand ten toes down, inform your GOP-voting family members that their politics are a reflection of the racism that has terrorized Black Americans from jump, and cut them OFF, your protests mean NOTHING.

If you aren’t ready to cancel Thanksgiving, your anger means NOTHING.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Dear displays supplier,

I have ordered 3 displays for selling my cards at craft fairs/markets. Why do I have 4 boxes with 4 tracking numbers coming my way? This makes NO sense.

Confusedly yours,

The annual pumpkin display at the entrance of Governor Pritzker’s personal residence on Astor Street. He is the pumpkin king. Illinois produces the most pumpkins, including canned, than any other state in the U.S., twice as many as the next five states combined.

These ppl want you to be isolated and depend on them for all your info. Don't talk to anyone else, just listen to what I say and the isolation is fueled by your own thoughts fed into the machine. Sounds similar to abuse tactics.

It's not a matter of autistic people being the only people who need things, while you are a bastion of calm independence. Your needs get met as a matter of course because the system is designed for you. I am asking for a fraction of that energy.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

This is why I am considering going back to being an unenrolled (independent) voter: because most of the Dems elected to federal office are complicit.
95 democrats, including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted to "honor" the life of charlie kirk, who called for joe biden to be killed and said black women like justice ketanji brown jackson are unqualified affirmative action hires.

shame.

A lot of people who posted “respect my trans homies or I'm gonna identify as a fucking problem” are pretty silent these days.
September 19, 2025 at 8:53 PM
That is such a hopeful - but incorrect - view. I've moderated polyamory groups on Facebook (yea, I know); trust me, they aren't all centrists, liberals, and leftists.

Assuming anyone who identifies as - or is - polyamorous is NOT a bigot or right wing is dangerous, especially for non-men and POC.
Right wingers don't do poly they just cheat on each other

It’s telling that it’s mainly cis, straight, able-bodied people crying, “How dare someone lose their life over politics!” That reaction shows they’ve never had skin in the game. For them, politics is abstract. For the rest of us, politics is survival—how we navigate the world just to stay alive.

to state the obvious, immediately leaking personal details to the press about somebody cooperating with a murder investigation is a great way to encourage people to not cooperate with future investigations

This is so spot on. Friends ARE the goal.

As is, apparently, outings to Buffalo Wild Wings.
this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

This is an incredibly important fact about current reality that's missing from how we speak to friends/family. Consider that we truly are living in different realities. This book has been incredibly helpful for me in reframing how I speak to people about, well, anything these days: amzn.to/42lIMDe

Dear Facebook: I am trying to give you money (I know I know, but marketplace is the best for the thing I am doing and I have a small budget), please let me!

I did one boost earlier this week and I want to do another boost today! But the “boost again” button just shows me the last boosts metrics. 😡
