You know what? I'll actually engage with this. I know, some of y'all will say I'm doing too much. And you'd be right. But still

Your perspective, minnesota, comes less from a place of feeling offense at the word, and more from a place of feeling excluded from using it. And THAT comes from a place

I coached a parent who said her autistic toddler was afraid to use the potty at home but went independently at school.
Two weeks after working with me, she said he basically lives on the toilet now. 💀💀💀

Don’t let anyone tell you the work of child development specialists isn’t important.

The wealth and resources being extracted from the majority and being funneled to the obscenely wealthy minority isn't stable

The high cost of everything, the inability to plan long term as a society, the numerous crises that'll hit us within a decade

Shit's unsustainable on so many fronts

Shit feels like it's decaying. That isn't to say I'm hopeless or don't still believe in the possibility of better. But this *gestures everywhere* don't just feel like the natural cycle of life, death, rebirth and growth. Feels like this place is afflicted with rot

i'm gonna be so real with you, i have very little respect for you as a thinking person if you use chatGPT for something like erotica or roleplay. like, you're still a human and you deserve some degree of dignity, but i sorta think you're not really all that sentient... kinda like a pig or something

It’s so sad that whenever someone mentions SoCal, the first place that comes to mind is LA when really, San Diego is the best part of SoCal, truly.

one and the same

The US no longer has an overarching monoculture, so we no longet have a common reality most of us ascribe to

This is both good and bad, but moat days I'm inclined to bad. Cuz how can we have a shared vision as a country, if we don't even have the same view of what it should be?

Girth, Wind, and Fire @girthwindandfire.bsky.social · 16h

I came across the word "monoculture" for thr first time yesterday, and it pit a lit of things into perspective

The reason Taylor Swift is a billionaire, while millions of people can't name more than a couple of her songs, and why vaccines went from being a scientific miracle to a boogeyman, are...

I have been thinking about this one a bit. I think the physical act of pushing the buttons (or using the rotary dial) helped with the muscle memory for knowing so many numbers.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

ok, here goes:

• a stable, safe (low cost!!) home for me & kiddo
•stable income/employment to afford it
•a filmmaking cohort to bring my scripts to life
•a worthy "my man, my man, my man" candidate
•a community/village of like-minded ppl who look out for & help each other
•full-body reflexology

I am a big believer that you have to be loud and proud about what you want. Ain’t no room for humility and modesty when it comes to your desires. Let it be known because you never know who’s listening and wants to help
