Leaving Bluesky in the near future. Hit me up via DM to connect elsewhere. Love y’all.

My sentiment remains the same for this entire holiday-stricken month. You are welcome in this house and at this table. You are safe. You are loved. Please remember to eat and hydrate, you deserve that, too.
I’m tired of constantly fighting this burnout y’all…

@jovialstarfish.bzky.team needs to step up her game. At 10k followers, she will eat a baker’s dozen of Chevy Tahoes!

Allow me to stir y’all’s memories this morning.

Remember when cars had an overdrive button on the shifter?

Btw, how are your knees this morning? Drinking enough water? Getting enough fiber?

@riverboatjack.bsky.social you/stream has ruined me. I can’t wait for an elevator without singing “Hit the button, hit the goddamn button” in my head every single time.

Spotify Wrapped? Am I a fuckin’ dinosaur for still using Pandora? Oh gods, my knees….

For those who may face a hard day tomorrow — for whatever reason — your reasons are valid. And also, I’m your family now, you are safe and valid at this table.

Rarely do I ever tag people, but give roses when they’re overdue I guess. @protonjon.bsky.social I have followed you as a creator since the very beginning. I know shit has never been easy, but I’m proud of you and I appreciate all that you do as a content creator. Keep being you.
Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

EGGNOG IN THE HOUSE. No morning coffee is safe now.

Don’t know who needs this useful tip for #accessibility but here goes: if you (like me) struggle to open OTC bottles, hit up a pharmacist/tech after you check out. Most techs have a spudger on their workstation thats used to open manufacturer pill bottles, cut paper/foil, etc. But! —

If you’re trans or otherwise have awful trauma associated with family at holidaytime, allow me to say that it’s ok, we’re family now and you’re safe here. Heal, stay hydrated, eat as much stuffing or pecan pie as you want, and remember that you are loved.

@batsinthebrittfry.bsky.social followed you back.”

👀 an actual privilege (and hello new friend).

At this point in my life, I don’t even want to buy a home. I just wanna live and die with a modicum of comfort, and maybe, like, 30% happiness.

@schumer.senate.gov why don’t you go write some more strongly-worded letters instead of lubing up to fuck the American people? Are you fucking for real?

We need to primary every one of these traitorous fuckbags and get them out of office ASAP.
Call them. Tell them not to surrender.
And if that doesn’t work, try 202-224-3121

Put me in coach, I think I can do better than Fetterman. At least I wouldn’t betray the well-being of Pennsylvanians and Americans.

@techconnectify.bsky.social I cannot string together any amount of words that appropriately express how grateful I am when you upload videos; they always scratch an itch in my brain and I love learning random tech/appliance stuff. And also, a personal thank you for being thoughtful (persnickety)

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jim Self, a cherished member of the ITEA family and a true inspiration to all. Jim will be missed but will live on through his recordings, Award, compositions, and long history of generosity.

Remember friends: if you see groceries walking out doors, no the fuck you didn't.

Help your neighbors.

Fuck these fascists.

❌ Bad uses of AI:

➖ Generating art/music/etc
➖ Destroying the environment because you're unwilling (but able) to learn about the topic you're plagiarizing an assignment for

✅ Good uses of AI:

➖ Assistive tools to make the lives of disabled folks more accessible

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

I just realized I never talk about it because, like, I’m constantly running on a spoon deficit but… did y’all know I’m a specialist librarian? God I miss that work.
