Dude. I’m in bed not doing anything I’m supposed to for tomorrow.
I’ve developed a fondness for old records. Like, really old. Why can’t I have simple, easier-to-access hobbies like baking or knitting?
Took me a minute to find you because I hadn’t clocked the fact it’s “fax” not “facts” 😂👋
I laugh, but gently because I know you also mean it.
11/09/2023. Officially sworn in as an Honorary Commander at the 142nd Wing and I’m just so humbled, excited, and proud. Just an incredible day. I’m so honored.

On this flight, after the PA, the older gentleman in front of me says, with a bit of wonder in his voice, “a female pilot”.. and his wife smiles and nods. Pretty cute moment.
I know I already said it, but sending you healing love. For those people reading this… Cesar was truly a unique cat. Wise. Would lock eyes with you and stare right into you. A very good boy.
I bought tickets to take my daughter and a friend! She was born the year it came out and loved it on DVD. For anyone else reading; it’s available theaters everywhere on those dates. Just click “buy tickets” to choose your city.
And @cosmicpinot.bsky.social is either Aussie, or working there! Welcome all!!
Well, thank you! I’m definitely ‘cool adjacent’ and have had a fabulous run as such. Also, I like your cat. 😌
It feels like I got invited to a really cool but small party, where even though I’m not particularly cool myself… it’s chill enough I can still say hi to the cool people and it’s not weird. “The other place” as you call it… felt like this *years ago. I’m loving it here.

Twitter is "No, But"; Bluesky is "Yes, And"
Going to be the opposite of Twitter and view every thought on Bluesky in the best possible light. If someone says “I like pancakes”, I will think “this person potentially also likes waffles, which are also delicious”

Yes bitch, that is a supportive viewpoint, that’s what we are all talkin bout
B!X!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG. Hi!
I saw the DM and then found you. I’m
not quite versed yet on how to easily find people I want to follow here so I’m poking through other people’s followers list. I am LOVING the small cafe style of conversions here, especially with people who have GIANT followings.
I JUST REALIZED @philplait.bsky.social IS HERE I LOVE THIS PLACE RN

My Atlanta aviation friend Mel hooked me up with backstage VIP to see Ludacris and Janet Jackson because they’re friends and guys… I FELT SO FANCY. I put that VIP sticker on immediately so I could feel cool. Heh. Great great night.
Random: I chew ice when I fly. It’s the only time I do it. No clue why.
Thanks! It’s definitely a cleaner experience on my TL.
Grateful to @triciahelfer.com for the bsky invite. 💙☁️
