Same. I follow who I want to see but please, nobody ever feel like following back should be your first choice. I contain multitudes. Frustrating, sometimes horrible, annoying multitudes. Wish I could pin this.

I'm going to get some bright yellow shirts and signs that say "I have the flu and wife said go to the woods until I stop tying up our only bathroom" for serene camping where people keep their distance lol.

Alt text is really important when someone can't load the pictures on this app because he's been walking in the woods.

The baby says hello.

Black furry dog with white around his nose and his mouth open wearing an orange harness and his rabies vax tag shaped like a fire hydrant. He's in a green and grey tent and the cover for a green and grey bed sits behind him.

The billionaire who gave the military money was Timothy Mellon and if you're an obsessive tracker of the eugenicist Tanton network that's invaded our government like I am you will have immediately recognized that name, that's Mellon as in Mellon Scaife www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Sc...

There was a story that came out a few months back about a "third form of life" discovered in fresh corpses and I think about that every time I pass my former Rite-Aid turned Spirit Halloween now

The spookiest thing about Spirit Halloween is that it does haunt the husks of dead retail space

I imagine you've already watched every single one of the mustard and mentour pilot and Eleanor Morton videos.

Defcon talks?
Hobotech?

When I can't think of anything I get on nebula and look through the animated history stuff or I type geography by Geoff into YouTube. Then look through the weird recommendations.

Skipping over recommending stuff you've likely already seen like Jeff Geerling and the rockets that Xyla and Joe made.

I heard that leads to double vision, feeling cold as ice, and things getting urgent.

Hope you're better tomorrow.

Our first holiday season together the 9 gazillion year old heat pump went out in the house so pupper and I slept in the car for a few days while we waited for space heaters to show up.

Hoodie weather is finally here and I think it's time to camp a bit. Have a few woodsy places picked out.

Drives me nuts. Like, where's the enforcement of clean air standards?

Reminds me, does anyone really check on whether someone refills their diesel exhaust fluid? Seems like a bad group to just trust scout's honor for.

Lack of modern regulation is helping us build an unlivable hellscape.

We were told that our video of the emissions at Elon Musk's xAI facility in Memphis has been taken down at Twitter/X.

At least we can share it freely here. Please do.

More communities will be poisoned by data centers replicating this model.

The revolution may have an online component to it but that doesn't mean we should let the code freeze at valley source forge.

I promise I'll do better than posting like this.

If Joel Schumacher, of Batman Forever fame, had directed Ragnarock he would've used Here Comes the Hammer where Led Zeppelin was used.

Woke up earlier with a motivational mantra in my head and ignored it but now that I hear it again I realize it's the Addams Family theme.

Cinematic motivation music swells.
Live how you want to live.
Play how you want to play.
Dance how you want to dance.

My brain is goofy.

Mornin.

Low cost of entry and preferably the ability for readers to order a print one too.

I'm talking her into creating the PDF and ePub files herself so she has more platform choices.
