Imagine you get unalived and a youtuber is telling the story about it and in the middle they do an ad for Hello Fresh

Me when Google or Meta gives me an AI summary of something I never asked for.
Today is Bandcamp Friday, when Bandcamp waives its revenue share and passes sales directly to artists, so you should BUY OUR RECORD RIGHT NOW, so we can send more $$$ to BeLoved Asheville. 16 tracks from 3 #asheville artists recorded directly after #Helene. coopersonfire.bandcamp.com/album/the-mo...
Another day sitting in the school pickup line feeling bitter and snarky. Do y'all remember @Dadpression on Twitter, back before the Nazis took it from us? Those were the days. #pickuplinelife
It's the Kidman/Urban split. Has everyone on edge.
What I'm here for.

Hey #asheville folks... We've released an album to benefit BeLoved Asheville on the first anniversary of #Helene. This is a trailer for a full demo vid we made. 16 tracks recorded in the days & nights after the storm passed over. coopersonfire.bandcamp.com/album/the-mo...
I already talked them down to $19 per funnel cake
Yes, and i'm sad to report that the calf only has one head.
Oh, is that whatβs going on out by the airport? Hard pass.
Okay, it was me, but five dollars is five dollars. #bideneconomy #ncmountainstatefair
I tried but the line was too long cause a guy in a mobility scooter wearing cargo shorts and a playboy tank top was haggling over price.
Fair announcer has just reminded us that there is a baby calf in the petting zoo. There Fn better be is all i'm saying. And it better have two heads. #ncmountainstatefair #asheville
Correction: It's the NC *MOUNTAIN* state fair. Like the one in Raleigh but with blue laws. #ncMOUNTAINstatefair
Standing at the gate waiting for my contact. Can smell the Legionnaires' disease from here. #ncstatefair
A friend bamboozled me into meeting her at the NC state fair for a photo assignment. I have not been this unhappy since Bele Chere 2012. #asheville #ncstatefair
Good news! No bus cancellations today! The pickup line should be super smoo-- Hey, why are there two suns?

Hello. I know you probably weren't hoping for an update to my rant yesterday, but you're going to get one: Why on God's poor dying earth is this news delivered as if it's not a major problem? Class starts at 0800. How many parents had to call in late to handle this shit? #pickuplinelife
(6/6) tl;dr: "Get wrecked, parents! Why? None of your goddamned business!"
#pickuplinelife
It's somehow even more insulting than 2hr delays for snow "in higher elevations" when a bus goes MIA and I, a car-rider parent, have to budget an extra half hour to fight the mad-max-style hordes in the pickup line that found out with 5 hrs notice and no explanation that their day was FUBAR'd. (5/?)
And like, I long ago accepted that school is not about educating kids but about taxpayer-funded childcare so parents can go to work in the oligarchs' fields, but if I have to live with that system, can't I at least get the meager benefits that allow me to do my job? (4/?)
And like, I get it, shit happens, but the journo in me wants to know what's up with the total lack of information other than "we're not gonna do this thing that everyone depends on us to do." Like, bus broke down? Driver showed up drunk? Can we have a little context? (3/?)
The car-rider pickup line is gonna be SPICY today, y'all. Fully anticipating some suburban soccer mom Karens to ascend from their sun roofs and start throwing Sonic milkshakes. Hell, I might be one of them. (2/?)
If you're a formerly-afficted social media ex-pat like me, you might have observed about yourself that you only get back on SM to complain. Well. Here we are... (1/?)
My video from Saturday evening's #nokings protest in #Asheville. Sharing reddit photos cause BlueSky won't host a 2min video . . . www.reddit.com/r/asheville/...
Photos from yesterday's protest are up on Substack! #asheville #nokings
After rain the crowd has dwindled to about 150 ppl. I'm going to sign off. It's been fun, y'all! Somebody lemme know if anything pops off later . . . Otherwise, stay tuned for photos! #asheville #nokings 20:19 est.
