Same, but because people I love died in November. Every year, the mood swings before I’m consciously aware of it.

It seems to me like it would be best to get it all over at once, but I’m not you. I hope it’s all nice and clear!

There are a few men who have been taking care of themselves. But they are posting pictures with no shirt.

No, sir, I do not need to see your abs. I’m not even sure about your face yet.

The rest look like 5 miles of bad road.

Spouse and I are poly, but so far, for me it’s only theoretical.

The men with lots of wrinkles and gray hair saying they’re 50 when they’re clearly at least 70…there are, apparently, zero men my age.

This is an excellent time to give money and/or time to your local food bank. Shits about to get very real in November.

I really hate DST. If we would simply adjust to regular time accordingly, there wouldn’t be this struggle every year.

My colleague is using a cane currently because of a pickleball injury. I’m happy to inform you that he also finds it funny that this is a very white thing to have done.

A picture of a man’s legs and the bottom of a cane. One of the feet is in a orthopedic boot.

A feeling of dread came over me…(how terribly young is this person who is excited about a birthday) but then i crumbled into dust and blew away, so it’s ok.

I was just reminded of a conversation I had many, many years ago with someone, when I told them I was moving to San Francisco. They said, “isn’t that where all the gays are!?“ In a somewhat horrified voice.

I said, “Not all of them!“

I started to watch it last week. What I did not expect was the intense PTSD-like reaction I was having. I had to stop watching.

It’s something like when the twin towers were attacked—everyone knew someone in those buildings. I knew people who lost everything.

They really captured the vibe.

I don’t care, either.

You get used to it and don’t think about it much. My spouse has one and it’s very helpful in optimizing their sleep.

Just called the damn dog by its name.

No Billionaires @zil.bsky.social · 3d

I know this is really petty and I need to learn to be OK with it, but my neighbor whistles for her dog in a way that just irritates the shit out of me. People have no respect for the shared soundscape.

The Trump administration cut funding for disaster preparedness there because of “DEI..”

A tweet from Lu for Alaska reads: “NW Alaska evacuating in case you watch mainstream news and don’t know what’s happening up here.” The attached image shows the inside of a large military cargo plane packed with people sitting on the floor, many wearing coats and holding children, as they appear to be in the process of evacuation.

You can’t get a job anywhere else with a southern drawl. A lot of Southerners practice hard to get rid of it.

In fairness, there are parts of the valley that have the Okie accent. Idk if that’s relevant.

I know nobody wants to hear this, but you can catch Covid being outside.

The Creatively Maladjusted @tyrotcm.bsky.social · 3d

And almost half of COVID infections are fully asymptomatic throughout the acute phase.

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 4d

If you were at the No Kings events, please wear a mask for the next few days.

Covid is not over.

You can infect others before you feel symptomatic.

People are losing their healthcare. They’re losing their food assistance. They’re losing housing.

We need to protect each other.

It’s a both/and situation! It’s so demoralizing to read those posts. Regardless of them being correct or not. And I get that some people are super frustrated with comfortable middle class liberals. But we need progress. Beating each other up is not going to help.
