Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 15hPerfectly natural portmanteau of "my" and "weekends". Fluidly evolving living language etc etc. You're covered 010
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 15hThis just in, the Surgeon General has officially confirmed: "Stop holding your breathe! You're gonna pass out!" 010
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 15hHe held a mirror up to society - but society, uncomfortable, turned away. 000
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Either they didn't want to SAY "skag" or else Ollie's starting to bebop. 010
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Buyer's remorse is common after moving into a giant pumpkin house 020
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Right? Or her apartment that was "three dried cat turds and a Pixies poster" from being the potion room in Hawkthorne. Though some things do best in the imagination 120
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Kidnapper: bad person Kidnaper: confusing but sounds WAY worse Wonder if it was a spelling error or a lettering decision. 110
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026"I would have done a school shooting if I'd only had access to a gun" (paraphrased but that's the gist) is a heck of a quote. 120
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026For sure, we'll stick to topics like who's the worst condescending prick we know. Let's get back to work. Up and ATOM, right Ray? And keep that finger out of my face - who knows where it's been and what ATOMS might still be stuck there. 020
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There's a "Save to Computer by Default" option you can turn on. When you go to "save as", go to Options, File and you can check that checkbox and provide the location. Not as handy as the old "save in the same folder I found the file in" behaviour, but still a sanity-saver. 011
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Breedon Hill in Derbyshire is derived from Bre (Celtic for hill) + Dun (Old English for hill). Or Hillhill Hill. 010
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It's a Nisse or Tomte, rather than a gnome. Just to be a pedantic Scandinavian Love your account 110
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Sobbing for JOY, now that Skeleton Daddy has returned to play peekaboo with him. 001
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026You damned sighted people! Looking around with your functional eyes and shit! Get outahere! "Yeah, you stupid voyuers, with your long canoe trips and your fur trapping!" That's voyaguer, honey - but thanks for the support. 000
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Usually seems too short. Some people's seem interminably long. 040
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I suppose that's where the creators of Saga got the idea 000
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I hear you. Well, if there's anything from our experiences that you want to know about feel free to reach out. And thanks - I felt bad about doing an anger dump in reaction to a funny story. 000
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 27/09/2026He liked the other kids & they liked him. But he wasn't *learning* anything, except negative feelings about himself. It's been hard but I don't regret pulling him & going distance learning from home. Amazing how smart & happy he is when not in fight or flight mode constantly Sorry to rant. 120
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Lots of talk about inclusion when they're eying the govt funding for the school that comes with an asd diagnoses, then it's a sliver of the shared aide's time, not allowed to join the running club, not allowed on the field trip, & sent home early nearly every day. <1/2> 110
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Funny the things that can trigger people - but shortly after reading this amusing post I was freshly FURIOUS at the way the school administration treated my asd kid. C'est la vie, all long past As Bender might sat: "Fine! I'll go make my own school! With blackjack! And hookers!" Just livid. 110
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Everything else you ate is gone (or at least unrecognizable) yet somehow the ghostly visage of the corn remains... 000
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 26/09/2026When they say it's divided researchers, do they mean grouped into A) those who disagree B) gullible morons C) opportunistic grifters pretending to believe D) those who disagree but are afraid to say so because their boss is in group B or C Or what? 010
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Yet he's wearing neither, which probably isn't helping those rugby pants take the strain off of the tucked sweatervest. 010

Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 26/09/2026My whole family still calls Jeff Goldblum "Brownshoe" whenever he pops into conversation. 110
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The fairway is brutal, but I'm great getting out of sandtraps 020
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The reverse idea has me chuckling. "So, what's your handicap?" Welllll, I don't have any clubs, so i have to throw the ball instead. 130
Ben* @benasterisk.bsky.social · 25/09/2026No, in the same words again: "YOU can't park in that spot because YOU don't have a handicap parking pass". Take it up with the dmv. If they say your fear of spiders qualifies you for a pass, that's fine by me. 020
