The Northern Exposure episode where the town marks Thanksgiving with Indigenous residents pummeling white people with rotten produce feels pretty apropos right now. 🍅

(Redmond is an affluent-ish suburb of Seattle & home to Microsoft & Nintendo, for those not in the know.)

Being where I am in life is strange. I hope you all have a pleasant holiday, wherever it may be today. (🇨🇦 still celebrates at a more appropriate time 🙊)

@drewgmackie.bsky.social You & Glenn get me through the traveling. Thank you. That "Happy Endings" was a doozy.

@slightlyfurry.bsky.social I didn't make it to the event or tap room on Saturday but Sunday at CCs I had a cider. It's wicked good! 💓

Dense fog will drop visibility, prompting a 'Dense Fog Advisory' to go into place along the Willamette Valley Friday night into Saturday morning. 😶‍🌫️

My body failed me yesterday so I missed gay dancing time again. But I had a beautiful day before that with family, a unique midday meal, and my fiancee.

A decade ago, solar power barely registered in Hungary’s electricity mix — just 0.2% of generation. Back then, nuclear, coal, and gas dominated the grid.

Fast forward ten years and solar power now supplies around 1/4 of Hungary’s electricity — a remarkable transformation.

November 1 is Christmas Podcast Day, and many of your favorite holiday shows are posting episodes celebrating It's a Wonderful Life. Here's a 2021 episode of Christmas Clatter (RIP) where I joined host Todd to interview the legendary Karolyn Grimes, who played Zuzu Bailey. #filmsky 📽️

I could really use some local support right now. :'(

Happy tomorrow is Friday, conflicted about it being Halloween.

@anthonyhurd.bsky.social Today is complicated and challenging. To receive your sticker "You are loved by ..." And to have seen that side of the book first felt really helpful.

Thought I was over the 'rona, but no, she's called back today to make my palate and body temperature have issues. 😞

Folx, please check on your friends and family especially as we enter this month that's supposed to have a holiday with food abundance.
