Let’s just stop being assbags to each other for like 5 minutes— I bet it would help.

Question: are you wanting to take my boyfriend there?

😑 LOOK, I’m willing to overlook quite a lot that @inthesedeserts.bsky.social has to say about Texas. We have much about which to be ashamed.

What I draw the line on is his Dallas slander. Look, Nate: if you want to see some shit, come over. Dallas is great!

What I love about London can be summed up in the Camden Market stalls on a very early Saturday morning. 🥹

I hate London as well. I just cannot stand that place. I love certain things ABOUT London, but I absolutely cannot tolerate the place itself. Camden? Yes. Islington? All right. Croydon? Yeh fine— but the whole city gives me a rash.

I suppose, since I can’t sleep right now, it’s as well that I say that I do not like Paris. It makes me nervous and uncomfortable and irritable. It’s not a good city.

I do love him. More than that? I will not say. But I love him fiercely and that will never change. 🥹♥️

Oh JONZ— it wasn’t religious. I saw him not understanding why I was dragging him down the street and away from the Latin Quarter, I thought for a moment I’d lose him!

But also, I don’t think he’d like Paris 1968 or 1870 even if there’s not a Communist uprising— he’s not the sort to throw cobblestones at the cops. 🥺

Let ME throw stones at the cops. À BAS LES FLICS À BAS LES POULENS! Allez-y-à!

For one: he is not necessarily a Communist, so he might not understand the lyrics to “L’Internationale”

I had this dream of dragging my boyfriend through a riot in Paris (he’s never been to France and doesn’t speak French) . Let me tell you why it makes me mad.

I shall be gripping my seat (metaphorically) until then! 🥹

AAAAAA I LOVE ALL OF THESE! 😍

I’m going to have to check my field guides, that just looks so familiar! 😁

What’s not to love about a good petrological mystery? This is exciting l!

This is tickling the back of my memory about igneous rocks— did this one come from Idaho or somewhere in the NW of North America? That green-olive with the jasper inclusions looks very familiar to me!

Ahhhhh, not yet— but I think I’ll get there! 😁

When I reflect upon my current situation— physically satisfied, emotionally fulfilled, and (let’s face it) in a committed relationship with a guy who can basically turn me inside out WHENEVER HE WANTS?

I’m doing pretty well. Not to brag or anything, but I’m pretty darn happy right now. 🥰

I used to understand the nines compliment math that made this and the Curta calculator work, I should look that up again…

Calculating machine made by Philipp Matthäus Hahn. It was the first calculator that could add, subtract, divide and multiply in one machine, and had an 11-digit capacity. Germany, Duchy of Württemberg, 1770-1774

I just don’t see how this is such a huge and insurmountable problem. The poor we have always had with us (Matt 26:11). It ain’t like we didn’t have any warning or anything.

It’s not a huge ask. It’s just helping in ways that are achievable. Do what you can. It adds up.

What IS, I think, required is help and support and working toward a future where every human has the chance to thrive, to flourish, and then— if we’re very fortunate indeed— to be celebrated for their achievements.

I don’t expect or require anyone else to do as I do, believe as I do, or want what I want— and I especially and particularly do not expect them to do these things for the reasons that I do. That is not what is necessary, that is not what’s required
