I regularly have to double check that I actually sent texts😅

I've been wondering for a few days where the book I ordered was, so I checked the order and...uh, I apparently didn't order it...

I wish we were under your system and I didn't have to worry about my child being taught "because Jesus said so" instead of actually facts.

Andrea Petersen @andreapetersen.bsky.social · 14h

On the one hand yes, on the other, I live in Idaho, I do NOT trust the state government to actually teach my child properly. We're looking at private schools so she can learn things such as "science."

I like to know what I'm getting myself into

Only one step less awful than drunk people on flights

People who can look at an entire seat map of a half-empty plane then choose a seat next to an obviously lone passenger should instead be taped to the fucking wing. (I have since moved my seat choice)

She loves anything extra warm and toasty!

Ex-82CE owner here, god help you if that glass breaks😂

Part of me kinda wonders if he was some sort of spy or something as he did serve in the Army for a couple years😅
Eventually, he became an auditor for Chevron, where he was essentially a financial enforcer. If he showed up, heads rolled.

My uncle had a penchant for working in countries shortly before or during turbulent political times. Iran, South Korea, Venezuela, and most post-Soviet states. But he was also the most intelligent and honorable man I've ever known

I don't need the lore behind your favorite posters... tell me about your uncles

I am a desert rat, so rain is just not a thing I know how to handle. Plus my car has no power steering, unboosted brakes, etc. It's 4 wheels, an engine, and the rest is between you and your preferred deity

I'm 95% sure I'll take my 3 morning runs and park it for the afternoon. This is not my idea of a good time

Oh so many! My blood family was small, but I had quite a few adopted aunties and uncles. And then there were the people where "auntie" and "uncle" were used as honorific titles. It's normal enough that my best friend is "uncle" to my daughter.

My brain is fucking stupid. It's nearly midnight and I'm mildly panicking a week and a half ahead of time over the concept of *checks notes* how to change trains...
Of course I can do this, I've used commuter rail lines, but my brain is terrified nonetheless

Andrea Petersen @andreapetersen.bsky.social · 3d

Among the many reasons I hate this state are the stupid ass legislators who come into our NEIGHBORHOOD and decide how OUR NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS should function just because they commute in to the capital building occasionally. WE ACTUALLY LIVE HERE, FUCK YOU

I'm trying to remember the stitch pattern I used, but I kinda just did it by eueball and vibe, so it's hard to explain

Andrea Petersen @andreapetersen.bsky.social · 4d

That depends. If it already has stitches down the sides, a simple zig-zag works fine and there's good YouTube tutorials. If it's like this one and only had the holes punched in, it's considerably more challenging
