Mr. Sondheim rhyming "raisin" with "liaison", I just... bow to you

Look, I may not be accomplished, but I may be the worst mobile typer of all time, so I got that going for me

Maybe it's time to re-re-watch The Detectorists just to have a break from <gestures around> all of this

Shaming people (mostly women) for not having children has abated a bit, but you see it in stealthy ways now, like demonizing certain careers (people who run animal rescues, which I guess is the new "crazy cat lady"?). Can we just...not? Let people be?

Ok, in the past few days, 3 (three) squirrels have darted out in front of my car, coming way too close. Now, I was able to avoid all of them, but let this be a message to all the squirrels of Bluesky: knock it off.

It is SO much better now, and it's disheartening to see a bit of a backslide due to trash people being emboldened by a regime of a hate, but I do think this is temporary.

Yeah there's still too much of all of it but this one seems particularly...brazen, maybe?

Every ice cream flavor doesn't need gritty pieces of cake or candy or oats or other nonsense in it

"I learned a skill when I was young that I use daily that has now been slightly modified for common and professional usage, but I need you know I WILL NOT CHANGE because it's just a hill I want to die on."

Do you know how ridiculous you sound? And repetition doesn't make it better.

"Fully understands all the tattoos he has" seems like a solid minimum qualification for national office.

Passing on following anyone who says they're a "certified coach" of anything, because unless it's kids' soccer, it's almost certainly a grift.

Why is it still ok to make blind jokes, eg, "even Stevie Wonder would have made that shot!"? Are they funny and I'm missing it (rhetorical question, they're not), and if we're not making similar jokes referencing other disabilities, why's this one (still) so common?

Terribly sad story

I wish I had the privilege of being one of those "I went to Target for two things and left with a cart full" people, but instead I went and got...toilet paper (a few other things I was looking for they didn't have)
