RHETORIC [Heroic: Failure] - alright here we go. We’re devoting all your available Brain cells to coming up with a question about communism. Scratch that, to coming up with *the* question about communism, the alpha and omega of communism questions, and that question is:
1.- (Whisper.) “Are women bourgeois?”
2.- Oh god, that’s bad. Surely I can think of something better.

Nope, it’s a very weird VW specific rubber hose I couldn’t recreate without another week to order parts

victoria scott @victoriascott.bsky.social · 11h

I’m still in Minnesota so I’m safe! I just don’t want catastrophic failure somewhere worse.

victoria scott @victoriascott.bsky.social · 11h

Honestly this is on VW for a single proprietary low pressure feed line that’s tapered. It goes from 11mm down to 9mm and I couldn’t find fuel safe reducers to get two lengths of hose to reduce down, and the OEM part has been out of stock forever

I’m okay!! It’s alright, I stayed in Minneapolis and it leaked here so it’s nbd, it’s just frustrating because I wanted to drive home lol, but I’m safe

victoria scott @victoriascott.bsky.social · 11h

I should have been clearer!!!! It’s not the end of the world I just don’t want this line to fully fail in Wyoming or whatever lol

Oh also to be clear: I’m still in Minneapolis lol the Volkswagen was nice enough to start leaking fuel here, I just didn’t want to chance it!

victoria scott @victoriascott.bsky.social · 22h

The car defeated me so I will be taking Amtrak back 🫡 no Volkswagen Scirocco for me sadly but I’d rather not die of exposure somewhere in Wyoming lmao

My family is orthodox which makes it all pretty hardline about heaven and hell, which is difficult for me, because it is very hard to imagine eternal torment for fucking up. I’ve been apologizing for everything since I was like eight years old lmao

I certainly understand why people want to believe in heaven (and hell) after the past year or so I’ve had, lemme tell ya

victoria scott @victoriascott.bsky.social · 1d

During the eulogy for my mom on Friday the priest specifically quoted bits of scripture about how we won’t all go to heaven, and I think it reminded me why I don’t go to church anymore, because hearing that from age 5 onwards takes a toll. I hope you’re right if there is a god

It’s incredible, I love the loose-fitting look on you (and your makeup is lovely)

victoria scott @victoriascott.bsky.social · 1d

I kind of get it. I fear I’m just never quite good enough to actually make it to heaven if it’s real, but I suspect that’s just a fierce ocd/guilt complex thing, because I can assure you I try as hard as possible. Also I didn’t keep shipping weapons to a country committing a genocide, which helps

victoria scott @victoriascott.bsky.social · 2d

Also I have three rolls of Colorplus and a Nikon F4 so like photowalk is totally on the table if the weather is half decent

victoria scott @victoriascott.bsky.social · 2d

hey do I have any mutuals in Minneapolis who might want to hang out Monday or possibly Tuesday? I’ve had some last minute car fixes to make and I’m here a few days longer than expected and I figured if anyone’s around we could grab coffee

I have really been enjoying photographing birds. Here is one I quite liked.

Two birds in focus on a rocky beach with a giant cruise ship in the distance.

I feel so stupid saying this about a campaign video but I cried watching the Sylvia Rivera one this morning because he actually spoke about my community and our heroes like we weren’t a liability to society and it is so surreal to see that after the past half a decade of political losses
