Bsky is by far my MOST public social media. Anybody on the planet can see my posts here. And yet 90% of my Bsky posts are Alexandria-specific. I do not understand my own behavior. Also, I'd be curious to see further study that compares the dumpster fire that is Nextdoor to other platforms.

It's a testament to both the intelligence of my dog, and the talent of the actors, that my dog got really invested in The Blair Witch Project when we watched it together last night. He was distraught whenever characters cried, and he barked like crazy when they went into the basement. Good boy.

I finished that popular Bright Sword book. If you loved this book, you absolutely should read Hope the Little Fox. If you hated The Bright Sword, you should also read Hope the Little Fox. Same for if you never read this book. Just read Hope the Little Fox already. www.goodreads.com/book/show/53...

I'm ashamed of how superior I feel today for knowing that Rosemont Cellar used to have a different name. JFC what have I become.

What's even weirder than the comment itself is the big, pleased reaction from the audience. Surely that also have no idea WTF the joke or stereotype is supposed to be, right? They just heard the word "Hispanic" in something that sounds like a punchline and assumed they should be whooping it up.

Infuriatingly, this week I feel myself called to recommend the book Missoula by Jon Krakauer. An absolute MUST READ, though I wish it didn't have to exist in the first place.

From bestselling author Jon Krakauer, a stark, powerful…

Ah, on FB. Now I see it (er now I see the comment history. The "map" is gone.) So weird. On the one hand I sympathize with non-tech-savvy folks who just can't figure out what they're doing. But on the other (bigger) hand, they've had way too much time to claim learning curve as an excuse anymore.

Hmm... The day that I had my absolute worst rock-bottom score (thus far!) is the day when everyone else got their perfect scores. Fascinating. Someone needs to compile everyone's scores and run some analytics.

I'm so confused on why they didn't at least approve teacher parking on Johnston Place. That seems like a no-brainer.

We live close to the tracks so I assumed a very heavy train. But then I saw everyone else in different locations posting about it and several people confirming fireworks at the Nats game at the exact same time.

Yeah we can hear them clearly in Rosemont indoors with the noise maker on and earplugs in. They are LOUD.

I'm running for office to propose a New Law: Banning all fireworks on nights that are not NYE, July 4th, or an event I personally am attending. Alternative Law: no fireworks allowed anytime I personally am trying to sleep.

Neighborhood listserv sent out a report on reasonable and helpful proposed safety improvements near our local elementary school. How do my totally sane neighbors respond? Response 1: "Some elementary school children are not experienced drivers." ? Response 2: "What happened to sAfEtY pAtRoLs?!??"

Wait it just hit me that you specified babies because you may have assumed I meant a baby-sized onesie. I plan to paint an adult-sized onesie for myself. Is the problem that no human should have it on their skin? Or that babies might put the onesie in their mouth?
