Anyways, the 13 year old loved the actors in zombie makeup and wants to run the race next year. So I got a year to get my cardio back in shape.

Even though seeing a CDC command center tent makes me think of makeshift morgues in NYC, complaining about it is just like Joyce Carol Oates complaining about Halloween decor.

There’s also a bit of bitter national pride for the Hollywood cultural hegemony. Can’t tell a horror story with the USA.

(you can always recognize a place in which no one is teeling much or any grief for a lost loved one & death, dying, & everyone you love decomposing to bones is just a joke.)

Wish l'd thought of this.

There’s a zombie themed foot race in Sweden. They use props that look like the US Army and the CDC. It’s a fun event, but as an American with a twinge of trauma from start of the COVID pandemic and anxiety about how armed agents of the states are being deployed in urban areas, I have mixed feelings.

Hey @sarahjeong.bsky.social

We’re about two weeks late for the 10 year anniversary of the Facebook Real Names fiasco (simpler times). To celebrate, here is a photo of my neighborhood in Sweden with a Psyduck just chilling.

I'm trying to find the button that lets me change my name on Facebook to
"A literal psyduck" but I guess they've changed a few things

Sarah’s Facebook account is shown with Psyduck as the name in response to their Real Names policy.

I lived in South Carolina for a couple of decades and in California for more than that. Neither of those homes really had the picture book seasons.

So every autumn I’m in Sweden keeps hitting so hard. I love these colors and the very basic thematics of “passing time”.

“I believe in the soul- the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curveball, high fiber, good scotch- I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone- softcore pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather that Christmas Eve, & I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last 3 days.”

Jag önskar att dessa lärdomar hade kunnat dras i Amerika innan jag flyttade därifrån.

I once found a pitcher plant growing in a NC parking lot in one of the raised grassy edges.

I met the author of the book when our paths crossed as tourists in India. She brought the perfect amount of scandalous gossip to the ashram.

Jag är förvirrad. Är hon ägaren? eller redaktören?

Jag är invandrare till Sverige och min svenska är inte särskilt bra. Kan du visa mig var i hennes artikel hon sålde folkmordet på palestinier? Jag såg det inte, men kanske Google Translate dolde det för mig.

Tack.

Vetenskapen talar, även om det inte är den historia redaktörerna vill berätta.

Swedish bookstore Akademibokhandeln’s website has immediately put up the Nobel Prize winner: compare to the American chain Barnes and Noble with prominent Dan Brown placement.

I love the incongruity of natures’s beauty and a business park’s banality.

UPDATE: Newsom has signed SB 79 into law!!

This is a great day for anyone who cares about ending California's housing and homelessness crisis, getting the state to net zero emissions, and recovering American democracy.

If you live in California, please call @gavinnewsom.bsky.social at (916) 445-2841 and urge him to sign SB 79. Here's my post about why the bill is so important: publiccomment.blog/p/newsom-s-f...

Nobels fredspris för 2025 tilldelas den venezuelanska politikern María Corina Machado, och inte Donald Trump som nyligen beordrade mordet på dussintals venezuelanska medborgare i Karibiska havet.
