Seeing a lot of old and new friends here on Bluesky, so here's my intro / catch-up post:

- I now live in suburban MD just outside DC
- I design CRM/AMS databases & lead the teams that build them
- I'm a single mom supporting one of my children through a cancer relapse

Happy Halloween from Spamton G. Spamton* and the Grim Sweeper!

* that's a character from Deltarune, which is a video game**
** my children keep yelling at me for explaining it to people, because apparently I am the only person on earth who didn't know what Spamton and Deltarune are
I feel that way about most things Tony Gilroy has written.

The music cuts off awkwardly before the end, but this is an incredible NYC Halloween costume compilation.

May your dads and granddads spend their time doing this, instead of getting their brains liquified by Fox News.
Here's a short video of an Edison Park man confronting border patrol. You can hear others in the background. #chicago

data point: at my daughter's school, the halloween parade had countless kpop demon hunters and only 3 Elsas. A new era has dawned.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

If by some miracle I could ever buy a home in this community I love, it would be a condo and the sleeping arrangements would be exactly the same.
And we csn afford it only because I rent a 2BR, gave each kid one of the bedrooms, and sleep behind the TV shelf in the living room.
I committed to living in this not-the-most-expensive-by-any-measure-but-still-crazy-expensive area outside DC and I love it and I really feel I’m giving my children a gift by raising them here. But. We can just about manage rent in any apartment available in their school district. Just about.
I’m in the same cohort as you but missed my chance to buy a house due to unavoidable factors. Now I’m in my 40’s and get pitying or judgmental references to the fact that I still rent — and I’m wondering if I will ever be able to purchase my own home or will just rent until I die.

there are going to be a lot of stories in the next couple weeks about the generosity of ordinary people in helping their fellow Americans and all of them will be wonderful and none of them should be necessary

we don’t have to have a government this cruel and capricious

My rage tonight at Trump CHOOSING to stop SNAP benefits and continue to deny paychecks to USG families is incandescent. The cruelty knows no bounds. The dereliction of duty is so dark. The GOP owns all of this. This is their choice.
