There's a lot of new followers here, so let me reintroduce myself.

I'm Seamus/Shea a trans masc non-binary, autistic parent of an autistic young man. We live with his prescribed orange emotional support cat, Professor Pumpkin Cat and a supernatural nuisance we call The Shadow Thing.

The Trnmp administration is walking back the Insurrection Act because while the rank and file may have outspoken conservatives, the generals meeting revealed they didn't have friends there.

Hard to launch a military coup, if the generals have no respect for you.

Thank you!

If a character as a ghost was saying oh you must be seeing me because it's Halloween, would they just use Halloween?

Asking again to see if I can catch a #german speaker or someone from #Germany

🏳️‍🌈Gosh Darnit of the New Jersey Darnits😷 @goshdarn.bsky.social · 1d

Question, what would German's call Halloween or the end of October in relation to the supernatural in conversation?

Like, "Oh this must be happening because it's almost Halloween."

A friend told me that I looked a bit like Hannah Gatsby in my suit, and I was pleased with myself all night.

Not super expensive and you can get it off Amazon.

I'm recommending Shapermint shape wear.

Went on without ripping or running. Stayed were it should even dancing, didn't roll all night.

I could use the bathroom and get them back in place by myself without feeling like I wrestled a demon in the stall.

I got up to dance with K and he told me to sit down. 😆

I didn't get it on video but we were in a circle dance and TWICE Agent K went in and danced for everyone!

Bride posted, so here's some shots.

My son, the groom, the bride, and myself.

Congratulations Issac and Patrice! The couple snuggled up at the head table done in autumn colors.

At the wedding. Having fun. The bride looks gorgeous, they're playing good jazz, there's diet Dr. Pepper at the bar.

The food - my Lords. Groom's side is Puerto Rican and the braised pork shoulder, plantains, and rice and beans is 🧑‍🍳💋.

Me on my back porch in my blue suit. I'm pinked faced because I wrestled myself into shape wear.

Agent K in his blue wedding shirt, buckled in the car.

My son in his wedding shirt, holding Henry the Octopus and a green soda cup.

Marvellous Minoan clay vessels made by creative potters on the island of Crete during the Aegean Bronze Age around 3,500 years ago! 🤩

From the Aegean Bronze Age, Minoan clay vessels with black handpainted decoration.on a pale biscuity-coloured slip

Top left - clay flask decorated in Minoan ‘Marine Style’’ with an octopus with tentacles writhing around the body of the vase. Additional motifs such as seaweed and rocks represent the seabed. From Palaikastro, 1500-1450 BC

Top right - clay rhyton in the shape of a bull’s head. A rhyton is a type of pouring vessel used for filling cups or making liquid offerings. There is a pouring hole at the bull’s mouth. From Knossos Little Palace, 1450-1375 BC

Bottom left - Nautilus vessel - clay rhyton depicting the seabed with nautili, corals and seaweed. From Phaistos Palace, 1500-1450 BC

Bottom right - Basket shaped rhyton decorated with double-axe motif. There is a small pouring hole in one of the bottom corners. From Pseira, 1500-1450 BC

Since some people seem to be misunderstanding things:

It's not that I can't cook from relatively scratch ingredients (flour, milk, eggs, dried beans, etc).

It's that it's not a failing to not do so every day. Which, again, is a thing that most people, even historically, didn't do either.

Mike Wiser @drmikewiser.bsky.social · 2d

For any who need to hear this:

Most people, throughout history, have not had to cook every day. It's not weird to not always have the energy to do that. And when you have some but not tons of energy, a lot of packaged or frozen foods have gotten good in the past 20 years.

Agent K and I are crabbing at each other because a) I'm not making lunch fast enough and b) K needs to stop putting balloons where they'll touch me. Balloons touching me is gross and illegal.

He still misses his best friend.

By the way, he says these cookies are great and taste like cinnamon.

She kept a tub of nestle chocolate chip dough tucked in the back of the fridge where she thought I wouldn't spot it and object.

I knew about it of course, but I never said anything. I left it a fun little secret between K and his Mim.

🏳️‍🌈Gosh Darnit of the New Jersey Darnits😷 @goshdarn.bsky.social · 1d

When I handed them to K, he promptly burst into tears because he remembered how Mim would bake him two warm cookies in her toaster oven after school.

🏳️‍🌈Gosh Darnit of the New Jersey Darnits😷 @goshdarn.bsky.social · 1d

It's just shit enough weather wise I offered to bake Agent K two warm cookies.

I have Sweet Loren's Pumpkin Spice pre-made cookies I picked up from Whole Foods.

My peacoat came and fits perfectly!

I'll have a nice wool coat all winter now.

Tomorrow the hat, vest, and neckerchief show up, and I'm ready for the graveyard crawl.

🏳️‍🌈Gosh Darnit of the New Jersey Darnits😷 @goshdarn.bsky.social · 2d

Yes! Though it's paved now. The path around the lake and the Beech path are both still dirt though.

🏳️‍🌈Gosh Darnit of the New Jersey Darnits😷 @goshdarn.bsky.social · 2d

I must be finally reaching my Vitamin B levels because I not only walked the whole circuit without asking for a pause to breathe, but I kept up with Agent K's speedy walking pace! And I didn't use any mobility aides! 🎉
