Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

I do like how there are nonbinary characters and the inclusion of more POC that is something that Stardew could have improved upon

My only beef with Moonlight Peaks is that there are some pretty dark parts to the story that should give a trigger warning, but otherwise its a pretty solid supernatural themed Stardew Valley type game.

I have quit games because there were so many glitches and I was mad they got my money.

Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
One big reason I do not want games to only go digital download is that hard copies work the glitches out in advance because they literally have to.

Are You Kidding Me?
Can this Great Horned Owl's eyes get any bigger?
I'm excited that my photo "Are You Kidding Me?" was selected as one of just 43 finalists in the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, from more than 10,000 entries representing 112 countries!
The story behind it is just as crazy. I was photographing this seven-week-old owlet when a squirrel suddenly launched from a nearby branch and landed directly on its head, knocking both of them out of the tree.
And believe it or not, a squirrel knocked this same owlet out of the tree THREE TIMES that morning! Fortunately, the owlet was fine and eventually settled down next to its mother.

(photo depicts a squirrel in mid-flight from a tree branch, apparently about to attack an owl who has the most "are you fucking KIDDING me" look in history)second photo showing the squirrel in question making contact with the owl like the lil furry-tailed (if short-sighted) badass he isthird photo showing the squirrel in question making contact with the owl like the lil furry-tailed (if short-sighted) badass he is

Did the band know it was an apartment??? I have so many questions

Lol, saw someone trying to criticize the pope for posting on Twitter. Yeah dude those are the people who are in need of the pope's words the most....

Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
AI guys have a God complex so out of control they think the Pope himself will validate their beliefs.
Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale
NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic CO- founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope
rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

It would also explain why all the stomach meds being prescribed aren't working....

Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
But also this is starting to confirm my suspicion that what is happening is esophagal and not stomach related as there's no bile when I get sick. The solid foods don't appear to be actually making it to my stomach when regurgitation occurs.

You might wonder how I can think of eating dairy when I cant keep solids down, weirdly enough dairy (for example yogurt) has been one of the foods I have been able to keep down.

Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
In the meantime I'm trying to remember the soft foods I was allowed to eat when I had my wisdom teeth pulled many years ago so I'm grabbing some cottage cheese tonight to see how my body handles that.

Well I did not here from the GI office for 2 days so I called and was basically told I'm in line to make an appointment which is not the most ideal answer but at least i am reassured that I am in thr line for a consultation with a specialist.

this doesn’t actually make any sense
The Kennedy Center has held used Steinway piano sales in the past, so AlterNet reached out to Jenny at Steinway in Washington D.C. to ask if the sale was happening again this year. She explained that it would not, as the Kennedy Center had closed.
She said the shop owner intends to retire and close, so they're selling all their pianos at a heavy discount. With the Kennedy Center closed, the shop is also moving all the Steinways to offer for sale. AlterNet asked why the Kennedy Center would need to sell everything, and she made it clear that it was because it was "closed." She
referred all other questions to the Kennedy Center.

Turns out what happened was when the drink came out the cops didn't realize it was alcoholic so people were just openly drinking the stuff wherever they felt like until finally the cops caught on and started busting people for open containers.

Mysteriously one day all those same people just stopped buying it mid Pride month leaving Hyvee very confused.

Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
This reminds me of how last year there was this canned alholic drink that came out for Pride month and Hyvee could not keep it stocked on their shelves and had to keep ordering it by the pallets.

Same to every current and future politician who thinks the U.S. health insurance structure is fine the way it is.

I do hope that whatever health care CEO decided that I can survive off pedialyte and yogurt for weeks/months before I can be referred to a GI specialist gets a little bit of my vomit in their shoes every time I throw up.

Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Anyway for obvious reasons, this is why i haven't been food posting as much as I would like to as its kind of pointless to make my usual decadent recipes when I can't even eat them 🙃

Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Oh no, best of luck to you. Even my ER doctor was clearly frustrated with the system and knew I would need an endoscopy but couldn't refer one without a CT scan first that she knew wouldn't turn up anything.
010
Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
What i want to know is how many months of vomiting and what stage of malnutrition do I need to enter before my GP can refer me to a specialist because this is fucked up and I'm at the point where the longer I have to wait the more damage my body is enduring from the above symptoms.
220
Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
The ER basically did the same tests as well as a CT scan which is the only new test I had outside of what the GP ordered. I got my referral and now I wait for their call.
121
Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Guys, I'm not going to spend months continuing to vomit up food and do tests that even the GP knew would not show what was wrong with me. So last night I went to the ER and am eating the copay on this so I can finally see a god damn GI specialist to see what is wrong with me.
110
Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
The GP basically told me in the most exasperated voice that it would take months going through the normal people and in order to expedite the need to see a specialist i would have to go to the ER and get the referral that way.

Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
So i start probing as to when I can see a GI specialist because now I'm losing weight and showing early warning signs of malnutrition.

Captain Pooky @captainpooky.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I have gone to the general practioner and done several telehealth visits, done blood work. Been prescribed medication for acid reflux and nothing is working and the blood tests are not showing anything that could be causing this.
