BeccaM @becca.net · 10/08/2026I got it to stop for a few seconds, but then it just rebooted as if nothing ever happened. 050
BeccaM @becca.net · 15/07/2026I felt that way the 1st time I saw Disney's 'Pinocchio' at age 6. "Wait, they're taking all these lost, orphaned kids, making them smoke cigars and drink booze, then turning them into donkeys and ENSLAVING THEM TO WORK IN MINES?! What the everlovin' f*ck, man..." Worse: They're never rescued. 000
BeccaM @becca.net · 15/07/2026Reminds me of both criminal and abusive relationship situations, where what's being tested is just how compliant the victim will be. And each act of submission inevitably invites more attacks. Give a bully your lunch $ one day, he'll be back the next demanding more. And more. And more. 020
BeccaM @becca.net · 13/07/2026Three things always come to mind whenever your name comes up, sir: - Guitars - Questionable burritos - A ridiculously photogenic spouse who does not visibly age at all Oh, and there's that church. 0111
BeccaM @becca.net · 02/07/2026*me finds reasons to work in the lower pylons for the day...in an EVA suit* 020
BeccaM @becca.net · 02/07/2026There's no way I could watch it. There's a handful of films I've seen across my life where my reaction wasn't just "that was a waste of time", but rather "omg, I wish I'd never put that in my brain" and would excise the experience if I could. I'm confident this film, Obsession, would be among them. 070
BeccaM @becca.net · 02/07/2026Dr Who: Now bouncing from one streaming service to others, including ones I'm not subscribed to MASH: Went away for months while I was in the middle of 3rd season from end Farscape: Have to buy final season (even tho I own all the discs) Star Trek: Prodigy: 'Nuff said... 010
BeccaM @becca.net · 02/07/2026That's been my approach generally, but it can be annoying/frustrating. Often I like to have rerun vids going on my tablet while I'm working out, and several times now have had entire series go bye-bye while I was in the middle of them. Or there's some other issue. 110
BeccaM @becca.net · 02/07/2026FWIW, a 12hr session of watching ALL the extended versions of LOTR strikes me as very serious, but in what way, I'd be clueless. Also, I'd ask what snacks and bevvies I should bring anyway, even though I've seen the films dozens of times each. 010
BeccaM @becca.net · 02/07/2026Ehh…it can depend on established mindset and expectations, as well as cautious "I don't wanna send the wrong signals," so it can lead to misreading a situation. For me, I'm a deeply empathetic person, yet my "is interested in me" radar broke from disuse years ago and utterly unreliable now. 100
BeccaM @becca.net · 02/07/2026That's why if there's any show or movie I truly care about and believe I will watch again...I buy the physical media, if available. I don't even trust 'buying' it on streaming media (i.e., put into one's personal library as a digital copy). 120
BeccaM @becca.net · 02/07/2026I've taken to telling people, "It's not Star Trek unless Jeffrey Combs and Clint Howard have guest roles on it. Portraying multiple characters each. Bonus points if it's frequent." (pause) "Also Majel Barrett, goes without saying." 010
BeccaM @becca.net · 02/07/2026Reminding us yet again he has no f***ing clue how anything works, in this case, it being the atmosphere and Earth biology. 020
BeccaM @becca.net · 02/07/2026There are certain people in the world where, if they say they plan to engage in stupid, self-destructive, reckless behavior, I feel no obligation whatsoever to wave them off. 010
BeccaM @becca.net · 02/07/2026Yeah, well, Rome isn't going to burn itself to the ground, and we have an insane arsonist in the WH. 2624
BeccaM @becca.net · 01/07/2026I've further observed that these predators and predator protectors: - Promote child marriage - Deny bodily autonomy for women in every way, but especially forced pregnancies - Excuse and enable the ped0s among them to keep victimizing kids - Seek to punish any kid for coming out as LGBTQ+ 2315
BeccaM @becca.net · 01/07/2026Note how they're only planning to do these invasive exams to girls. By design. The transphobia + misogyny is on purpose, and the fact it'll result in SAs AND traumatize young girls isn't just irrelevant, but what they intend to have happen. (And it infuriates me beyond measure.) 2376
BeccaM @becca.net · 21/06/2026IKR?! "Oh here, let me post a heart emoji in response to my niece's sonogram new-baby announcement." *click-hold photo...and nothing but that f*cking banana thing shows up* Seriously, why the F**K would I want to modify incoming photos over everything else I might do, like express appreciation! 010
BeccaM @becca.net · 21/06/2026On my android phone that uses Google messages, I can no longer 'react' with emojis to incoming photos because that function has been completely blocked by that f*cking AI banana thing which I don't want and will never use. 110
BeccaM @becca.net · 18/06/2026Great post from someone who really knows about water treatment. I have a very old background in pool construction and maintenance, but this analysis goes way beyond that. Still, the hydrogen peroxide they tried to use to kill the algae bloom is a known paint-stripper in high concentrations. 010

Reposted by BeccaMAlx Uttermann @alxindia.bsky.social · 07/06/2026I don't usually post my work here, but this is urgent. My friend Nathan & I are offering a powerful healing event via Zoom... as a benefit for two young Cuban men struggling in their lives in the US, + their families back home (some members with serious medical issues). ucbk.org/healing-fund... 021
BeccaM @becca.net · 01/06/2026Confront those involved via journalists & Congress...speaking of which, try to bring this to the attention of your Senators and Reps (esp. if Dem). Other thing occurs to me is this website program looks & acts like malware. 0152
BeccaM @becca.net · 01/06/2026Not an expert, but it looked to me like a massive gov't web infrastructure hijacking in progress, but potentially stalled due to court actions, delays, etc. Solutions? Publicize the f*** out of this. Get Cloudflare to comment on record. Dig deeper into certs & DNS routing (inc. changes if any). 1143
BeccaM @becca.net · 31/05/2026Asked him what he thought of my current weight. He shook his head and said, "You don't need to lose more, you're fine. Muscle weighs more than fat anyway." Only rec was to drink way more H2O. At least for now, I don't have to worry much about my health. #Gratitude 150
BeccaM @becca.net · 31/05/2026Well, that was fun today. Went to the doctor for my 6mo checkup. First remark, "Good lord you've been working out a lot." (Bulgy thighs, biceps, and shoulders will do that.) Blood labs are fine. BP & resting heart rate are excellent. 2nd statement, "Keep this up, you're gonna live forever." 150
BeccaM @becca.net · 30/05/2026It's as if this was planned in advance... lol Get people & businesses hooked on these tools initially offered virtually for free. Then add a subscription model. Then gradually start charging what it actually costs. Then profit because the 'customers' can't continue without their addiction. 020
BeccaM @becca.net · 28/05/2026In my case, it was explained that because my skin is thin and fair, they can smell the capillary blood close to the surface. I also run hot, and yes, there's a good chance my particular genetics & personal scent are playing a factor. Either way, it's hell for me and many repellents barely work. 030
BeccaM @becca.net · 28/05/2026Agreed. What's worse is I'm a natural mosquito attractant. Put me in the middle of a yard & everybody else will be entirely safe from bites. Last time I got swarmed, I counted over 50 bites on my legs & arms, and worst of all, I'm allergically sensitive to their anticoagulant spit. Eradicate them. 150
