Anyone in Lewiston Maine around today? I'm looking to meet queer folks who have been volunteering to support immigrant communities in particular!

Currently posted up at Blue Jay Coffee - come say hi! (I'm definitely working but I won't use anyone's info who doesn't want to be in a story.)

A man identifying himself as Eric at FAA Special Ops Support Ctr said he couldn’t explain the reason for the notices.

“Not really, not because I won’t, it’s because I don’t know. I mean, this is just the office that publishes. So we’re handed the sheets and they say go with it,” Eric said.

Pro-trans humanist but anti-transgender is a really funny ideology. We will transcend the boundaries of flesh, be whatever we want to be EXCEPT IN THAT ONE WAY, NONE OF THAT, freeing ourselves from the shackles of our physical husks BUT DON’T TOUCH THE GENITALS.

Pinsa? What the hell is a Pinsa?
*Orders one*

Pinsa, huh?
Some crusty and flaky bread with pizza toppings. But does not taste like pizza. Kinda like a step back to a crunchy sandwich from the regular stuff. But more fresh to the taste. Less oily

Not bad 🤔

Since a couple people have asked, I have no idea why El Paso airspace was closed. Working my contacts, a couple theories but nothing to say out loud yet.

If you have insight please contact me on signal at gbrockell.44.

This can be read as the Pentagon refusing to deconflict airspace, so the FAA arguably is doing the right thing, though others who are more expert on this should weigh in. cc @faineg.bsky.social

the more i watch the prequel trilogy the more i think that those 3 movies are not as bad, but almost as narratively shitty as the sequel trilogy and the only thing the prequels have over them is nostalgia

“What matters is the story!”

Yes, and for a story to be good, it needs to have internal logic. It is possible to tell a good story where the weaker party wins through luck, cunning, the power of friendship, etc. but you need to have a sense for a fight to sell it.
