since bluesky hasn’t seen this photo, here it is. me and my dad when i was a wee babe. i couldn’t tell you where these photos are but i hope they turn up, my cousin had a book full of baby photos of me for some reason.

i miss you, dad.

a photo of bluesky user babyjaengel as a teeny tiny baby wearing a black and stout collared sleeveless white striped dress with red accents all over and white socks, hair short but wild, throwing a questioning look at the camera. her father is holding her on his lap, one arm around her back with the hand resting on the knee and the other hand holding her torso up. he is wearing his ever present uniform, a short sleeve button up shirt and khaki slacks. he wears gold rimmed aviator glasses with clear lenses, prescription. they sit outside together, in a brick-floored outdoor patio with flowering plants directly behind them and a lush lawn to the right, on a white outdoor plastic folding lounge chair. there are more plastic chairs flanking them in different styles with a table cloaked in white tablecloth closer to the camera in the corner of the photo. on the table there is a small glass goblet on an ornamental glass tray with an unknown light substance, maybe wine or lemonade.

lost one of the charms on my necklace & was looking for it for hours. found it & immediately lost a spacer directly after & I’m afraid of how the spacer might be like. underneath the floorboards or wedged into the side of one bcs it disappeared under my heater & i don’t see a trace of it at all

anytime i go to a hardware store (always by myself) there is a man who is being nice to me and i don’t understand what about that store makes them do that cus outside of the confines of this establishment i do not think they’d think twice

i felt like if i didn’t share my thoughts i would cease to exist and i often felt invisible because of how little people reach out to me. idk it’s weird how a lifeline can be perceived as something different. that’s probably not the connotation she had but it’s just. weird to consider.

one of my best friends told
me she met me as a “content creator” and I’m thinking about it and it turns me off bcs the content creation term insinuates i do this for other people when i really would post so that i didn’t feel like i was disappearing into thin air genuinely.

the piles are (back left,
clockwise) plain shirts, colorful shirts (base), white shirts (graphic) black shirts (graphic) and i realize i really don’t own as many black shirts as i insisted that i did lmao I’m
learning so much with this necessary audit

jae ☁️ @babyjaengel.bsky.social · 14h

what’s crazy is most of those shirts i purchased in the last month BUT i know i will get good wear out of them because they’re plain. i have so many dress shirts i wanna try to pair them with.

jae ☁️ @babyjaengel.bsky.social · 14h

no one cares but I’m organizing my closet because it’s been giving me a lot of anxiety lately and i realize i have several “schools” of t shirts the most being my plan t shirt pile (back right) and this is kinda helping me understand the type of stuff i wear

jae ☁️ @babyjaengel.bsky.social · 16h

“All parades matter."

“Invent a parade you would not attend.” is some wild shit, for real.

I feel bad for zohran. Like he'a clearly a bright, energetic, talented, and highly motivated person who has to do these humiliation rituals where his ideas are being put on the same level as two gross weirdass tired old white guys w nothing to offer. It's insulting and embarrassing.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

everyone being a content creator is really just the glorification of a second job and hawking cheap shit to other people. it’s the modern day tupperware party. ugh leave me and my micro blogging alone it’s not the same

If you think the problem in this city is that my rent is too low, vote for Andrew Cuomo.

If you know the problem in this city is that your rent is too high, vote for me.

Mamdani links noise to congestion, basically affirming my “Cities aren’t loud, cars are loud” line.

Of course. Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to restrict hiring across the government. The move came as his earlier hiring freeze, in effect since January 20, expired.
