Life hack: Keep little bits of origami paper in your wallet so when you’re waiting around in a lobby or restaurant, instead of scrolling your phone, you can fold up a little guy to leave behind and make someones day slightly brighter~

The only three origami animals i know how to make so far: a dinosaur, a crane, and a fox.

I wrote a 14 page term paper overnight (not including my refs section), partially in a language I don't speak with any meaningful fluency, while citing information from three legal systems. I also fainted the same morning I turned it in.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

And now, the story behind it.

You've been at a job long enough to know a decent colleague to chat with.

The more you get to know them, the more they share. What's fact or fiction? You don't know, but you listen.

Then there's one story that's so over the top—a bona fide lie. But then, a photo appears.

A red Ford Pinto hatchback angles across a narrow gravel forest service road, a blue enduro motorcycle on a rear hitch carrier. Tall firs frame the view. Beyond them, a towering ash cloud from a pyroclastic density flow billows skyward. Photo by Richard Kent Lasher, May 18, 1980.

Thing I do as a remote student I can't when I attend school in person: take a midterm from the bathroom floor in between bouts of being sick.

In related news, I would like to fully acclimate to my 'this probably won't kill you but we can't promise' meds. Any time now.

I ended up evacuating...been years, so memory may be faulty, but I think the drive started...fifteen hours, I think, before landfall. We had the "bestie, no, the models say no" convo that morning or afternoon. Had to wait on a paycheck so I had the gas to leave.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

And a reminder, abortion training isn’t just for providing abortions, it’s also for managing miscarriages and pregnancy complications. There’s already a lack of providers able to do those procedures.

I did shelter in place *once* during a major hurricane because I had no options, my weather radio died and I had to lean on patchy cell signal to follow local broadcast mets + nws. One of the scariest experiences of my life.

Jo Bloodmoon @cirruswx.bsky.social · 1d

I switched around my evacuation time based on bestie's forecast (mets are good besties!) and avoided: road that washed out/collapsed and ate some cars, tornadoes, being trapped in what used to be my apartment.

The route I'd originally planned on got beat to hell a bit after landfall by the heavy rains, I would have had no way of knowing I was headed into a washed out road that was swallowing cars.

Shop called, so far they can't reproduce the gas leak from yesterday. One of the mechanics will drive the car around a second time, and see if it's induced at the pump. Idk, I have no idea.
