This moment was ALMOST worth being stuck under a sleeping geriatric cat and having to hear his voice for.
Not fully but almost.

Fiercely defending the Resistance from my couch. Data geek with pulmonary disease. Chaotic tired. My kids don't think I'm funny but they're wrong. Keeper of OTG account lists by city/region to follow/check when shit goes down.

The best evidence I’ve seen of bsky being a echo chamber/hive mind is the fact that like a hundred of us apparently made this exact joke at the same time
I’m honestly wondering if we just let him think that? Like, ok, man, ban that mutilization. Done! Look at that. Mutilization now fully illegal in all 50 states. You did it. Congrats. You won.
(Pause)
Ok, y’all, we can reopen the clinics, just keep it down.
Wait what the fuck is mutilization
They’re letting that man say words on tv again
New game: Degrees or Decades
I hope your friend is safe and the two of you can play again. I hope for everyone to be safe even though I know they won’t be, because I don’t know what else to hope for.
Big if tru
Time to get ill.
Someone tell me not to spend time extracting data out of this ghoulish thing from which no good can come
I’m a few pages into 248 & here’s ChatGPT:
Film re: Corita Kent? Not DEI. Ok…? (She was a radical nun turned intersectional political artist.)
Exhibition re: metalworking? Totes DEI, apparently bc it aims to promote “understanding of the craft.”
The concept of understanding things is threatening.
Ever have a poem punch you in the soul? (You might be about to.)
Article from Nov 2025. I’m sure the situation’s way better now that the city’s entire fucking drainage system is full of still-burning fuel.
Not for nothing but a few months ago we were talking about how Tehran was sinking 30 cm/year. I keep having this terrifying invasive thought that something’s going to hit in the wrong place & the entire city will collapse into the earth.
I’d tell you but it’s one of the tests my sister and I established we’d use to see if the other’s body had been taken over by a pod person or other malevolent entity
WELL NOW IT’S THIS GODAMMIT
- Each country has one team for players of any & all genders
- To my knowledge, the only woman competing this year is on the Japanese team, but I don’t know if there are enby/GNC ppl or others I haven’t heard about yet
- I feel like the Paralympics tends to be more 💁 abt gender & I’m here for it
[Photo of television screen showing 2026 Paralympics logo for sled hockey on the left, abbreviated rules list on the right. Text below.] SLED HOCKEY RULES OF THE COMPETITION • Five-on-five • Same dimensions, markings and goal structure as Olympic ice hockey • Three 15-minute periods; two 15-minute intermissions • Common penalties: teeing, illegal use of the picks • Checking is allowed • 17 players per team (18 if a woman is on the roster)
- If you have never watched sled hockey, you owe it to yourself and the athletes to tune in at least once and see what happens from there
- “Checking is allowed” is…an understatement
- Two sticks, no legs, no fucks given
- This game makes ableist people uncomfortable and I will elevate it forever
Still frame from coffeeshop security camera that was put out on social media by law enforcement after some guy saw a man and a teenage girl - who was in fact his daughter - sitting together. Image shows a white man with straight brown hair, glasses with clear frames, and a mustache and beard wearing a black winter coat standing next to a teenage girl with straight brown hair, basically the same glasses with clear frames, and a remarkably similar facial structure (no mustache or beard though). She’s wearing a black t-shirt with a large rose on it. They both have their faces tilted at the same angle to read the menu and could not look more like each other if they tried. Like, I have a form of face blindness where I have to look for something that someone I don’t know is wearing - a necklace, or distinctive earrings - if I’ll be expected to recognize them again later that day, and *I* could tell you these people are related.
Sir this is the same human being
This feels @moxiest.art -y to me, in the best way.
Ooh!! We’ve only been to two of these so far but now we have our work cut out for us. Excellent! Thank you.
I just had this moment where I thought I might have lost my account into a vacuum of space/time bc I often have “who will enforce it” auto-muted - I don’t need doomer dan trying to yell over our legal victories - and I remembered I typed it in a sarcastic comment to you & thought I muted myself. 🏆
I use ProtonMail bc I don’t want Google’s tentacles crawling thru my stuff & feeding it to LLMs.
Privacy isn’t anonymity. Most ppl who think they need anonymity don’t, but if you do, don’t keep shit in archived, subscription-based cloud email!
If true security were convenient, we’d all do it.
I feel like a lot of civmil bsky is close to locking itself inside the Department of That’s Not How Any of This Works with a PS5 & a bunch of snacks
