Time for the best first impression ever, fuck yeah. My name's Nome. I write words. Sometimes people think the words I write are good.
See below for my thread of threads of threads - things I've written that I'd like to be able to find or reference, many of them ported over from my time on Twitter.

Even the worst apple pie is still a pie, and therefore good, Ian.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

I started reading a book last night that very cleverly handles the original bilingual text (Belarusian and Russian) by translating it into English and Scots, but my current level of painkillers have said "nope" and thus I guess it's time for a novella about vengeful ghosts instead

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

The story told here--one where anecdata suggests agency and autonomy have run amok and nameless activists are to blame--certainly rhymes with the NYT's disastrous panic about trans kids. Then you realize it's literally being written by the same author.

Got the flu last year on Thanksgiving and it really sucked. Obviously vaccine is no guarantee you won’t get it, but it’s basically free with no downside and is, imho, a no-brainer.

I'm a transit and bike commuter, but I am *extremely* limited in the places I can go here in Denver.
We cannot get things like the BRT corridors fast enough - and they're also nowhere near enough. There's no easy way to connect routes, no last mile support, no plan for inclement weather.

I am super-pro-public transit, and use it way more than the average American, but I live near a light rail station with very, very stable and predictable scheduling, and even then I would not use it for many things I use a car for because the cost of transit is time.
i wonder how much of Americans' views on driving vs. transit would change if they had to pay for gas/insurance/etc every time they turned on the engine
"i'm not paying $5 to take the train to work twice a day when i can just drive" is a genuine opinion held by so many people

just found out that the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving painting was originally published alongside an anticapitalist essay by a then unknown Filipino-American writer and labor organizer (Carlos Bulosan). damn www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2017/12/carl...
![Freedom from want by Norman Rockwell
painting shows an aproned matriarch presenting a roasted turkey to a family of several generations,[9] in Rockwell's idealistic presentation of family values. The patriarch looks on with fondness and approval from the head of the table,[10] which is the central element of the painting. Its creased tablecloth shows that this is a special occasion for "sharing what we have with those we love", according to Lennie Bennett.[8] The table has a bowl of fruit, celery, pickles, and what appears to be cranberry sauce. There is a covered silver serving dish that would traditionally hold potatoes, according to Richard Halpern,[11] but Bennett describes this as a covered casserole dish.[8] The servings are less prominent than the presentation of white linen, white plates and water-filled glasses. The people in the painting are not yet eating, and the painting contrasts the empty plates and vacant space in their midst with images of overabundance.[12](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ow37qmuwsv3qlrkh6xdglqxl/bafkreicojgtdxpmrz4kpy2lehauwn7hpwooyd3avi2xskn5gdtd2rdlrhm@jpeg)

Radaskiewicz-King was charged under hate crime statutes meant to deter violent symbolism such as nooses or swastikas--implying that a trans symbol is hateful or violent against Catholics. Those charges were dropped.
The judge denied her bail for 'public safety,' despite harming no human.

Your yearly reminder that “holiday” celebrations that only include Christian traditions are not, in fact, inclusive even if you don’t use the word Christmas, so tbh I’d rather you just say it’s Christmas.
Until a few years ago, ugly holiday sweaters didn’t exist. They’re ugly Christmas sweaters, with some generic Jewish iconography to be “inclusive.” But the truth is, when I have to buy one to wear to a work party, I feel like I’m in another culture’s drag.
