If you see me on here it's probably because I'm avoiding homework. But also I like a lot of things and to talk about them.

Genres have officially jumped the shark. But yes: cozy horror is chills down your spine or mild spoopy scenes. At least one group says this. (I think there's a big conversation needing to be had about making the word cozy a genre)

Haha! Cute! 🥰

I mean, at least it isn't an account with no pfp saying we strike next Monday so I'm hopeful.

I'll admit usually when the broncos play like it's college ball it's in the other direction. So thank you NY? At least folks Monday morning coming into the office will be a nice one. (Nothing worse than being in office the day after the broncos lose)

Wow. Denver teams have a habit of saying they're second half teams but dang Denver.

I guess if anything it's a business opportunity? 😅

Ope. Sorry. Sega yes. That's really interesting

Do you... have to get creative hitting the buttons so they're button 1 or 6? Or is this just Sony being silly

Heather @hpiglet.myatproto.social · 4h

Wait. Wait that's some uneven math. Forgive my lack of knowledge but...how?

I have to keep reminding myself that he's running for a job that isn't publishing a unique piece of NYC history weekly sitting at a Secretary desk. I'll miss these ads. Haha.

Also the only way to defeat NYTimes-style faux neutrality

radical sincerity is the only way to defeat weaponized irony

Yeah you just never know how far in you'll have to get before that blue badge

I've seen the photo. The watch is quite compelling.

I've never encountered it in the wild. Only in those Seventeen magazine articles about proper care of our sensitive bits and making sure to use unscented toilet paper.

Yeah basically you can melt off the gold probably. The jewels are all known. It's like trying to steal the Mona Lisa: nobody's buying

Heather @hpiglet.myatproto.social · 11h

I hear you need a lot of bribery skills to do that.

Heather @hpiglet.myatproto.social · 12h

Not since that terrible Dave Matthews Band bus incident no.

Michael Bennett's largest senate donor last year was AIPAC. He bats his eyes and accepts PAC money. Phil Weiser is running a grass roots campaign and has done more to fight American fascism this month than Bennett has done the entire year. They are not the same. They are not the same.

I sometimes fantasize of a band of politicians with one superpower: an adequate understanding of technology and the tech industry. What heroes they could be.

Heather @hpiglet.myatproto.social · 13h

Perfect time for bad actors.

Because they're facist 😭 i think people keep thinking I'm exaggerating when I say that but I'm not. And it's not new. A newspaper that would knowingly employ a nazi sympathizer as Berlin bureau chief because he got them access to Hitler is not a paper that will help uphold democracy.

I looked at 38 papers. The NYT was one of only a few not to have it as the top story and photo

The handful of exceptions were pretty much all places with a big D1 football game

I genuinely don't understand why the NYT is so reticent to give coverage to one of the largest protests in history

NYT on the protests: sixth headline and third photo down. This is Saturday at 8pm

WSJ: protests are the top story and photo

Wapo: protests are the top story and photo

Chicago Tribune: protests are the top story and photo

I think this might be the case. Charles put Andrew in the house Harry and Megan had been given, which seems a pretty specific f you. One chooses to leave, has everything stripped including security detail, the other allowed to hangdog around.

Ooh yeah... have the skirt mechanism be broader at the top so your arms are beneath the skirt and you've room to maneuver your chair. Fantastic

Hope folks feel less alone today, that people join with others to take further and deeper actions, and that everyone fights like hell to protect those most vulnerable to this regime.
