I'm beginning to think they're just showing him trailers for the fallout games and saying it's Portland.

There's also an apparently popular high end fashion reseller from Europe that likes to ship their packages with incomplete manifests that get refused by customs that we end up having to field ECCs for. 🤷

It's a major issue. We're getting a lot of straight up fraudulent prepaid postage labels as well as duplicate prepaid labels with tracking numbers.

It's an emergency escape bracelet you can use to shatter a car window if you or someone else is in danger.

It's a shame more people don't wear these in case of emergencies... Just saying...

I'm not exactly sartorially inclined, but I'd love to hear if @dieworkwear.bsky.social has anything to say about this photo...

It had a Velcro secured pouch for wet wipes and could unzip fully and came with a pad to open it up and use as a portable changing station. It's a shame they're not around anymore.

There used to be a company called dadgear that made amazing backpacks like that. Doesn't seem like they're around anymore unfortunately. Very functional and not obnoxiously "masculine" packs.

I like to think of it as a giant fried cockroach.

A few years back, I randomly decided to use a shawarma platter as the topping for a pizza. I highly recommend trying it out!

Him and Darren Aronofsky... Who apparently lives a block away from my station!

I don't know how this showed up on my tl, but I just wanna say I've been delivering his mail for the past 6 months and am embarrassed that I didn't know who he was until very recently 😬. I still haven't met him unfortunately.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

Wait, can I do that with em dashes too?

To be fair, I go out of order too sometimes because with prices going up, some spots only give you one egg. So I'll order "2 eggs, bacon and cheese" on whatever I'm getting it in (either an everything bagel or a roll)

Or, hear me out... You just suck and the majority of bluesky users know that. I mean...

Is it just me that finds the framing disturbing? Young single mothers and pregnant women vs able bodied men being entitled to Medicaid? To me it's just... off-putting and creepy how he keeps repeating that.

We're generally good people, but there are a decent amount of exceptions.

Ray @rwl.bsky.social · May 25

Thank you. I've only been a carrier for a little over half a year, but the vast majority of us take delivering for our customers very seriously. The whole sanctity of the mail thing is real. I've seen carriers get furious when their routes don't get serviced properly on their off days.

I work in the East Village where they have a location. I've always wondered why there was always a line there. Also... Have you checked out earls beer and cheese? They have a taco that uses a scallion pancake as the shell and it's amazing.

While buying drugs at Coachella I assume?

Sure, there may be benign reasons for this (backlog being filled, people anticipating summer travel, some sort of normal cadence to renewals/applications that I don't understand). I can't help but feel it's the uncertainty of the current admin that's fueling this rush for documentation.

Anecdotally, as a carrier for the post office, I can say I've personally seen an abnormal uptick in the number of passports I've been delivering to customers in the past few weeks. From maybe 1-2/month to 3-4/week on average over the past few weeks.

It doesn't hurt to get a consultation with an artist. Just have a general concept and a good artist will work with you and help you come up with a design, then take your time to think on if you really want it. I ended up going with a full sleeve for my first tattoo and don't regret it at all.

I like to imagine the ScatManager hosing down several clear tarps on a clothesline in the parking lot while giving this response.
