Ok for those of you who don’t know me: hi. Minister (PCUSA), Composer, Conductor, Singer, Baker, Queer/Bi, Whovian, Barth/Torrance stan, Batman stan. I write church music but I mostly listen to jazz. Liturgy nerd. Nerd in general. Involuntarily single. What’d I leave out?
My solution is that I don’t buy them. This is the only way I can prevent myself from eating them.

Do you think people are named Dirk because when the parents registered the birth they said Derek too fast?
Yes. Mainly trying to get back closer to L. Co-parenting is a non-existent thing when she’s this far away and cannot travel long distances due to her G-tube and her disabilities.
I did too. I’ve been trying to make the best of it. 18 months in, I think it’s safe to say it hasn’t worked out as I’d hoped.
Really feeling awful tonight. Moved here almost 18 months ago. My dog died 8 months ago. Been totally alone since then. My daughter is now a 14-hr drive away. I haven’t seen her since I moved here. Don’t know when I’ll get to again. And I forgot to take my meds this morning, which isn’t helping.
When she lived with me I had a placard that let us park in handicapped spaces, but when she was at school and I was in the car by myself, not only would I not take advantage of having it, but I would flip it up so it didn’t show.
Not so fast. I have a daughter with multiple disabilities. When she’s not with me (and she’s never with me anymore, since I left the South & moved here) I park at a distance from the building and walk.
It me
ME: I don't have enough spoons for this.

THEM: For what?

ME: *gestures vaguely*
Haven’t used them and don’t plan to start.
#CancelSpotify

They are running ICE ads.

They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.

Spread the word.

A good day to remember this…
I’ve been a fan of theirs as long as I can remember. When they were in Bham I got artist comps & they got to meet my L.
Hmmm that’s a word I use when I hate something but I don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.
