A middle-aged human. Outside of work i’m a parent, spouse, book nerd and obsessive yarn hoarder and fiber artist.
Pez is my pocket friend with such lugubriously bad luck we call it Pezluck. Please help my friend.
The wonderful @sylk.bsky.social put this together - I am the beneficiary. I know times are tight. After years of underemployment I experienced a temporary layoff immediately followed by a massive plumbing disaster. If anyone is willing to boost this, it would mean the world.

While I aspire to books and baked goods, I am made of cheese and confusion.
What are you made of?

This dog is from a breeder I follow, who keeps the family she places her dogs with close to her heart. Please help if you can.

Even the person I hate most in the world should have food, shelter, clean water and healthcare. Every single sentient being on earth should.

Also, everyone should have universal basic income and education.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I want a fresh bread candle. That smell of yeast and baking and goodness.
if you could turn one food item that is not already a traditional food-scented candle into a candle, which would it be?

I think mashed potatoes and gravy candles would slap

Hey @reptimkennedy.bsky.social Why are you being silent about your senate colleagues betraying the American people? Stand firm and vote no on this no good deal for the American people.

I am now contemplating the different lethalities of region sandwiches: cheesesteak vs beef on weck vs primanti brothers
Cheesesteak is only effective if thrown while hot as melted cheese can do extra damage. Primanti Bros confuses non-residents when french fries eject from sandwich on inpact.
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Fuck the Post. My children’s local Auntie has been as important to them as any blood relation and is currently battling cancer. She’s shown up and loved my kids for over a decade! @ravensnpennies.com is my kids Uncle, as beloved as any blood relation, and helps take care of my kids.
no joke: this line of attack is racist.

MANY people from MANY cultural backgrounds use “auntie” and “uncle” for older relatives and even close family friends.

the NYP knows this. this is just bad faith racist bullshit parading as cultural ignorance.

@mostlybree.kitrocha.com got our discord group to share our local food banks and talk about donating to them. It was a real joy to see how many of my pocket friends are kind generous people.

shout out to @feedmorewny.org and Hope and Joy food pantry in particular for their hard work locally
Food relief orgs can do a LOT with a little. $50 to the Atlanta Food Bank provides 150 meals. $100 to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank provides 250 meals. Anything you can share will go a long way. Never feel like your efforts are too small to make a difference.
Heartfelt thanks to those who supported their neighbors with donations to food banks. I wish I could match them all! I'm matching the first $1K and reposted all the orgs. If you're looking for ways to help, check my feed and let the example of these generous folks inspire you. ❤️

Please my New York City humans, please vote for Mamdani. Especially for all of us New Yorkers who live in the state but not the City.
This is incredibly deep and I am tearing up.

Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams are the worst of us.

Mamdani is one of the best.

When you vote in this election, whatever your faith, you are making a moral decision that will reflect on your character and your soul forever.
Mamdani: "I thought that if I could build a campaign of universality ... if I behaved well enough or bit my tongue enough ... it would allow me to be more than just my faith. I was wrong."

Help out my friend @pezyes.lol with some basic income to survive this period of income instability and Pezluck. (Pezluck is invariably bad and appears to be an inherited curse from an ancestor mortally offending the Good Neighbors).

So, given my absolutely silly dietary restrictions: gf everything bagel, toasted until the cut side is crispy, plain cream cheese, red onion, capers, lox, a squeeze of lemon juice, a grind of black pepper, and caviar if i’m being fancy.
A lot of your bagel orders are fine but remember we are talking about what’s acceptable to the NYC electorate and many of you would lose your election.

Having worked criminal justice adjacent for 20 years (until I finally burned out) I endorse this 1000% Take money away from lunatics measures and invest in robust community mental and physical health clinics, remove barriers to medication and non medication treatment options
Punitive is pointless. You can't unmake the past with a slap on the wrist. Rehabilitation, as often as possible, as much as possible--that's what I think will help society. To prevent further harm. 4/?

I have just outlined what I think is a fairly reasonable approach to defunding the police.

May every sentient being from the most divine to least, heed Rabbi’s prayer.
Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

I will become the curmudgeonly ghost who you have a useful conversation with in a quaint out of the way coffee shop and then look up and realize I died a century ago.
Try to be a kind person in the world.
After that, be a forgetful ghost who haunts historic libraries, or a vengeful twig witch who stalks the dark heart of the forest, or something cool like that.

Do you want to punch fascists? Would you like to read about punching fascists, a robot donkey, shapeshifters, and a side of sapphic romance as a treat? SERIOUSLY THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!
For the remainder of September, COYOTE RUN is $9.99USD (and CAD!) in trade paperback, arriving with bonus sticker and (while supplies last) a delightfully profane postcard. Get your fash-kicking shapeshifter action now!
Coyote Run – Horned Lark Press
