If you run out, I could write you one of my week-overdue 3 AM masterpieces

I find myself measuring snow by how many beagles deep it is
A Very Clever Friend once coined the term ‘Standard Beagle Mass’ equivalent to 25 lbs
Or, hear me out, beagles
It’s only cold if the last few weeks were in the 60s
I’ve previously had a little trouble finding things afterwards, so I wanted an extra layer of organizing myself. Plus if I do get the chance to watch live, the chats!
Greetings, #GenHour! Still organizing a #Rootstech to-watch list (or maybe a series of lists). Thought I’d have more time to watch it live than I do, but I chronically underestimate how long things take, so no one should be surprised.
Just gonna say "not having a Bachelor's degree" is the least bad thing about Mullin. C'mon people, don't be elitist assholes

Part of my overwhelm was figuring out which sessions would be offered multiple times and the significance of attending the first offered time, if any.
This is my plan as well! I got a little overwhelmed when I first started to build my schedule, but still hoping to get back to it before things start.
This is a nice contrast to all the awful behavior confirmed through the Epstein files. Proud of @jenlucpiquant.bsky.social & @seanmcarroll.bsky.social for picking up on the sexism & charlatanism right away.

I generally shy away from all the body shaming and health speculation WRT Tweety Amin but what the heck? I have sensitive skin, so I’ve had my share of rashes, but..preventive cream? Preventing what? The vagueness just invites weird speculation.

When Powell gave that speech to the UN justifying Iraq II I kept wondering if someone had a gun to the head of his loved ones to get that out of him.

Four Cork, Ireland young men gathered around a table in 1863
Oops! this photo of my Cork, Ireland-born 2nd great-uncles/cousins was supposed to be attached. Both sets of brothers had already lost a brother in the war by this time, three out of the four served in the war. From Livingston County NY Historian’s collection. Photo labeled “war juice.”
1) not erudite enough to have a favorite, but interested in all of yours
2) something about Western NY Irish immigrants’ service*
3) HaloTop ice cream

Long time fan, so delighted to Join You
Ooh, as a long time Ben Vereen fan, I had this on my wishlist, but missed the start of your watch party, will comment some time after the fact as appropriate. Thanks for highlighting it with leads to scholarship.
What in the actual Mengele are these idiots trying to do now?
Haven’t found a list of the approved healthcare facilities yet and wondering if anyone informed my ortho’s office if there are any nearby, and if they can maybe coordinate with one?
OH. It looks like there’s another in-person way for “approved healthcare facilities.” Fat lot of good that does me, but it’s a start.

OK total overwhelm going into the #Rootstech schedule builder. How do others prioritize?
