@pftompkins.bsky.social I was the guy who waved at you at the start of the Portland show tonight! Great fuckin show also sorry that having hundreds of people wave back at you was a less than pleasant experience :/

tbh I don’t really trust anyone who’s never been hungover on public transportation

Barista: “Alright that’ll be $4.99, you can tap to pay and the machine will have a question for ya”

*looks down, Square tablet reads
“Will you marry me”*

*looks back, Barista is on one knee*

I know that’s not what it stands for but every time I see this fire station my brain automatically says “Paul F. Dompkins” and it makes me smile

Last night I had a dream I had a dream I was on a gameshow called “Owen Wilson’s Gospel Blowout” but I can’t remember anything else from it and I’m furious

A lady wearing a flannel and a floppy beanie was just singing along to “In Spite of Ourselves” and it made me realize I can never actually leave Iowa City it will haunt me forever

ACAB includes police officers

There are supposed to be tornadoes in Portland tomorrow and I was super hyped until I remembered I don’t have a basement :/

Was just told by a rando at the bar that my coat/beanie combo makes me look like a wise old man and imma take that as a win y’all

A lot of bad things happen because parents just don’t want to admit their kids suck at sports

If Phil Hartman were still alive he’d prolly have an EGOT

My goal for the new year is to read more but so far I’ve read an Animorphs book and the novelizations of Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. It’s like saying “I’m not gonna drink beer anymore” and then just chugging whiskey every night

The more I learn as a geneticist the more I come to despise the idea of “nature vs. nurture” That’s not how it works at all
