“I am responsible for myself”

I had a funny interaction a few nights ago where a fancy sports car stopped for me. Their headlights were off and I made the twist gesture of turning them on. I was amused that they did actually turn them on, and did not get upset with me. Yes I did profile the sports car owner as being rude.

Or not even looking. Somehow I can tell the difference between “I didn’t see you” and “I’m pretending you’re not there”.

What are some good alternatives? I wanted to get some people in my neighborhood together to petition the city for a safe crossing. There’s a 1/4 mile stretch with no crosswalk. Cars rarely stop at the actual crosswalk because wide road = fast. With the bend in the road, I thought lights would help.

I wear big hats and clothes with UPF. I hate also the STAINS that sunscreen creates.

I need to get a New England flag

I wonder what the best way to counter his claims is. Wu may not want to bring up that housing approved several years ago has not been built because that could speak negatively toward her tenure as mayor. And “construction is too expensive now” might be seen as a lame excuse from her.

Similar to the authz/authn split, there’s a distinction between justification (God says you good even though you’re still a sinner) and sanctification (God actually makes you good)

Do not let this man near anything fragile. He will destroy it.

Sorry, at a family gathering so I can’t do alt text at the moment. Just a preview for you and I may try to rework this to be better for Bluesky, as it’s extremely long.

If you’re interested I could share some of my silly math on his housing policy, which I already posted on my local FB group. In short: landlord gets paid extra to have unaffordable rents. And this is funded by a misguided idea that the IDP % is the main reason housing isn’t being built.

I’m imagining the requirements for this con for women to be “you must be this pregnant to enter”

I can’t believe it’s been so long. I was visiting the Holocaust memorial museum. Security guards suddenly ushered everyone out without saying why. We drove back to our hotel and heard about it on the radio. I think the museum thought an abandoned backpack was another bomb.

A clarification: whoever is running the account is posting about Easter a week early because today is Palm Sunday and Holy Week, which does last the whole week

I was thinking I hadn’t seen you on there for a bit! Crazy how you’re suspended but the woman talking about “we shouldn’t reduce CO2 emissions because plants need CO2, green energy is a conspiracy” is fine.

Organizing is very alien to my subpar brain. It feels like a faux pas to kick things off with broad issues. And yet it feels dishonest to organize people around something small like getting a better crosswalk because I am a nerd and have already seen the plans for the new crosswalk.
