Lists are definitely searchable, whenever im put kn a homophobic/transphobic/uncomfortably queer list I check it to see if I should be following other cool folks.

Ursedelic (they/he/el) @thatbearlifts.bsky.social · 1m

Agreed. I think we keep coming out to ourselves and others throughout our lives as we make space for ourselves. For example, I came out as bi, stayed there for a while then queer, then NSFW queer when I felt my acceptance was conditional on my being 'one of the good ones'

The real ugliness is in who that person is and how they treat others.

Its really weird when other adults do that with me and annoying because then I have to go through vetting them. BUT, I would absolutely try to befriend you irl and feel weird doing so.

All the more reason to express gratitude at least. Thank you so much for being on top of all this and helping us prepare.

Ursedelic (they/he/el) @thatbearlifts.bsky.social · 7h

I got waaay to excited and forgot my manners.

Thank you both!!!

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

I definitely will but simpler works best. I dont want another couch situation, lol. Especially when these wee bears start helping with laundry.

Ursedelic (they/he/el) @thatbearlifts.bsky.social · 9h

Ooooh! Yes! This would absolutely help. Especially with my partners work clothes!
Okay, new plan. I get this kinda thing as soon as I have unearthed the couch and unpacked 6 boxes. (Then there will be room for that fancy hamper thing)

This is such a great call! Im stealing this idea.

Ursedelic (they/he/el) @thatbearlifts.bsky.social · 10h

That would be awesome.
Beyond clean and dirty I need some sort of system for when one of the wee bears suddenly outgrown all half their clothes but clothing sizes aren't consistent across brands so every day is a guessing game.
Thafs how this couch situation started.

Theres two blankets already there. One in a box underneath and another draped on it from when I first set it up....last year🤦🏽‍♂️
Im so excited to uncover all that.

Oh, no, I still cant see the couch but I did recover all our wash linens from there and didn't add to the chaos by not putting more laundry on it.

If I can do this from now on, I'm getting that cozy spot at last!!!

When we first moved in, I put a small couch in the laundry room so I could chill with a show/audiobook and fold - I haven't seen that couch in months. Hence my being extra proud of this laundry feat.

Oh its never ending. We are in the final stage stage for potty training for our youngest so there's a little extra but even then, these are stereotypical boys. If they dont come home absolutely filthy, we know they're about to get sick.

This is amazing!!!! And people just do this every year? I feel like I need to leave CA more often, this is so cool and feels so fall!

Ursedelic (they/he/el) @thatbearlifts.bsky.social · 10h

These things never fail to enrage me. I hate wasted food. Someone not selling their soul for engagement could have made something delicious with that and fed their family.

Ursedelic (they/he/el) @thatbearlifts.bsky.social · 10h

Whoa, thats HUGE!!! Congratulations 🎉 🎉🎉

Ursedelic (they/he/el) @thatbearlifts.bsky.social · 10h

Thank you for trusting us with this. At the risk of getting canceled, I also think its kinda blah. Its too sweet and the texture is slightly off. Other chocolate hazelnut spreads are more worth my time.

Ursedelic (they/he/el) @thatbearlifts.bsky.social · 10h

I folded all the laundry I washed today as it came out of the dryer AND I put it closets and dressers. Its like I have executive function or something.

I'm muting Diane Keaton. If she was your fave, I'm sorry this time is hard.
I didn't really know who she was but I did learn she was a Woody Allen supporter and nah. She doesn't deserve one more second of consideration after that.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ursedelic (they/he/el) @thatbearlifts.bsky.social · 12h

It makes me feel like I'm speaking in a really bad, fake Cockney accent so I try to make it right.

Boooo! You've got this!!! Cmon adaptive immune system!
