Yeah; No. Thats bullshit. I grew up in South Alabama. There were literally no out trans folks I ever met until I moved out to Seattle. The entire concept was considered a joke (same to how gay and fag were common insults). Now my trans daughter loves her summer time spent at Camp Alabama.

For comparison Charles Barkley and the elder Johnsons.

I’m not the kind of person that calls friends like Levon out by name for shit they say in group chat but let’s level set. We hoisted a Cup and are going to CCL next year.

Complaining we haven’t had a double since 2014 seems like champagne problems.

It ain’t 84 years.

Thanks! I did not know that is the origin. I thought it was just a living in Ohio reference. Speaking of Alabama has our own famous billboard:

Apparently ‘clingy boyfriend’ is slang that kids these days use to say ‘I forgot to tell you that while practice starts next week, we’ll have afterschool meetings starting this week’.

Which is fine. I wasn’t worried a bit. Let the kidnappers take you you ungrateful… *mumbles incoherently*

It is a Sunday evening and my washing machine has a heavy/bedding setting as well as an extra rinse.

Why shouldn’t I just combine my last two loads and put two pods in?

@walshfreedom.bsky.social Joe, as a queer who grew up in rural South Alabama I think Iliana is being too accommodating to bigots. But good conversation. I bought her book. But you brought this up in your convo that understanding seems to be a one way street.

So glad my parents are healthy enough that my kids like spending most of their summer at Camp Alabama.

Don’t get me wrong I love Columbia City but between a farm and a lakehouse and being retired my parents definitely got me beat for summer.

Soldiers like skulls. This is a thing. It’s a thing for soldiers. I have a modified 2nd ID patch that is a skull.

But it is a 2nd ID patch and not a Totenkopf.

That is a totally different ballgame. It just is and military members know these symbols and ignorance is unacceptable.

To all my haters who make fun of me for always losing my ballot and having to go down to Renton on Election Day: SUCK IT.

You think you have friends but they all gang up to laugh at your ADHD.
October 22, 2025 at 1:21 AM
Here you go. I probably owe you money actually. In my defense it was a mystery gift and I didn’t know and had to trust @itsnotpegah.bsky.social . Of course they are getting their PhD in LLMs so are used to ripping off content. ;) Na, but for real hit me up in DMs I do owe you.
October 21, 2025 at 6:12 PM
In the end @itsnotpegah.bsky.social solved the problem by buying me a @likkitp.ynyaproductions.com Three Trees Cascadia Antifa tattoo on the other arm.

First off my niece is an American (which shouldn’t be disputable) but also this is hopeful.

Nine months into this… whatever it is and the documents are still Mother/Father/Parent.

Once that seed is planted it grows.

It really is hard to roll back progress. WE WILL PREVAIL!

Due to my ADHD I’m also usually a late caster.

But if you can try to be as early as possible so that volunteer door knockers & phone bankers can cross you off the list.

Once had a vol from an org I was on the board of leave me a scolding on a lit drop for an adjacent org for wasting his time, LOL.

Back when I was at Lewis we had something called the Universal Key, but maybe that is just an Infantry thing.

For the record the Dominoes at Rainier and Genesee cheats.

Went there tonight, got the on sale NY Large for $13, the young one grabbed the pizza and took to the car while I signed the receipt BUT LOOK AT THIS! This is what they tried to pawn off me as a pie!

I need to start tattooing myself Memento style with things like: “You have shells at home.” “You have beans at home.” “You have rice at home.” “Only buy beef and lettuce.” (Don’t judge my Mexican night! I have picky eaters!) [Beans placed for effect.]

Can’t remember if I got this one when Firefly was released on DVD (2003) or when Serenity was released in theaters (2005).
