one thing that is rough about getting back into creative work after a decade or so of health issues is seeing other people my age (regular) approaching the peaks of their careers

most people don't understand this state, and i think they should, since what has happened here since 2010- the nearly complete destruction of the Kansas civil service and safety net- and what we have done since to mitigate and repair those mistakes, is INSTRUCTIVE on a national scale nowadays

kind of feel like writing 'the matter with kansas' as a response/rebuttal of thomas friedman's distorted view but i am mostly suited to writing joke posts about a version of mr bean who has sex and does violence

the GOP has had legislative control for a hundred years here, they're sort of the defacto default political party for people who either don't think very much about politics, or, just like a winner. kinda like the dems in places like california, they run centrist-

i'm guessing someone who is not strongly devoted to right wing politics objected and leaked it. they're also a recruiting operation, so it may well have been someone who wasn't fully on board in the first place, but just curious

news blows over more slow out here- but of course theyre gonna set up again, but that they felt the need to publicly repudiate that language at all is, interesting to me

YUP

fully expect them to probably rearrange chairs in leadership and resume operations, too- whats encouraging here to me, though, is that it's a story at all- the vibe ten months ago was that this kind of thing was gonna be a-ok to say

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

extremely agreed! that meta is promoting that to people is wildly irresponsible!!

yeah! as late as the 10s, i was using it to advertise my shows. i even usually put five bucks or so into it, since that was the price of one ticket it seemed worth it

i think you'd have to be pretty young to not remember when facebook was cool and genuinely useful and fun to use, but it really was! i swear!! in a college town almost 20 years ago it ruled as an aggregator for bar shows and drink specials

facebook's losing more hinges, and it didn't have quite so many left,

reels as presented on meta corporation's web site Facebook, three stills entice me to click. from left to right:
- a woman who looks kind of like a tradcath janeane garofalo sits in a field pre-civil rights era wife dress and apron. right below her face is a green box with white text: "Why I will never get a mammogram"
- a tall petite with enormous breasts wears a short green skirt and rtight grey crop top and poses in a, hallway or foyer. above her is the text, "Turn your phone sideways (trust me)"
- Fred Rogers wears a green sweater in a still from Mr Rogers Neighborhood. He is speaking, mid-word, with one hand slightly raised palm-up as if to emphasize a point. above him in white text with black stroke is text: "SHART"
