elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Religious liberty (to practice tenets as an inherent right)(imo) feels like either an unnecessary duplication of rights, or a curtailment on bodily autonomy: duplicated: personal freedom, freedom of speech curtailment: being dragged to church as a kid, "pray the gay away", prison evangelism 0261
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 06/10/2026furniture day, stuffed animal day, or just browsing? (I know they have Manuls and Snow Leopards now in plush form) 110
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I might be totally wrong but sometimes I feel like parents impart disordered eating habits on kids, leading to out of pocket statements that clearly did not come about independently 😔 030
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 04/10/2026yes and everyone knows you're there (The bell rings if you get the triple sinners up top) 010
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 02/10/2026this might be a nerd/geek/neurodivergence blind spot: person A is friend, person B is friend (true) Incorrect assumption, A and B are compatible as friends (can be false) it's an inevitable conflict if you're not compatible and can't hide within large group dynamics (say, 1:1 bouldering) 010
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 02/10/2026ok I think it's time to wake up the naive friend because this sounds like polite low grade torture 120
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'm not a driver, but I hate going down these roads on a bike. I often get surprised by a car turning and barreling down and either I yield or hope they see me in time also when I lived on such a street, my home felt like a parking lot for everyone who wanted to play at green lake 010
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 02/10/2026oh and by one lane I mean [parking][traffic][parking] not [not your parking][lane against you][lane in your direction][your parking] 010
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 02/10/2026the problem at my old place was that two cars would go head to head with each other and thered be no space for one to yield (and each car having more cars behind them) Mandatory one way might fix this, but then you get people who don't read one way signs and make it your problem 200
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The only small roads that are wide enough for two cars to go down at the same time are roads that the 62 uses. Everywhere else it's double sided street parking and a single lane you have to do one-lane-road tactics on 1100
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The slough is fine, but Jackson Park is an embarrassment: why do we have to pay a private operator $50 for entry? Such a waste of both parkland and light rail proximity 000
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 29/09/2026it's funny when I'm two of these but the cyclist haters here have the least sauce with their hate like come on they're just bringing middle school tier bullying 010
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 29/09/2026if you were overall faster than the cyclist over a long distance, you'd just pass them once. If you have road rage regularly, don't drive. 0652
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 29/09/2026also the quote is hilarious: Rep CIA "didn't throw anyone under the bus"? lmao very rich 160
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 29/09/2026okay wake me up when google and microsoft stop shoving their in-house AI in their email/docs software you wanted an explanation, stop being incensed that you got one 000
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 29/09/2026fine let's use language that's less metaphoric just for you: I structure my free days with thing I want to do. It's quite offensive for a bot to have the arrogance to know me better than myself. I put things in the calendar as reference. I don't need nor want anyone's help in filling my calendar. 100
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 29/09/2026apart from friend dates and major appointments, I don't operate my personal life off lists and calendars I have priorities I remember, but I'm not going to trust someone/thing else to find a cute birthday card that fits a friend's personality, to adapt to seasonal fruits at the farmers market, etc. 100

elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'm getting the feeling blockee doesn't understand that people don't need to wait for a court conviction to tentatively determine someone is a [whatever they're accused of] 0120
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I've interviewed for a variety of public sector jobs and usually no, but the interviews weren't too long either. 110
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 25/09/2026ikea plushies... my beloved... (I love how they make them without bead eyes!) 010
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'm not the best @ explaining but kinda yeah, though those labels do kind of feel like oversimplifications. 010
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I haven't gotten the chance to play control resonant yet but it is a sequel of the same genre (plus, story and all) that said, third person (not over the shoulder) action game thats slightly weird and doesn't hold your hand is a breath of fresh air in today's gaming scene 110
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I love how greenwood avenue north has a truck parking/loading lane that cosplays as a two way left turn lane 🙃 Meanwhile the bike lanes are like four feet wide, two feet effectively once a UPS truck or a Ford F-250 parks 15 inches from the curb 030
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 24/09/2026motte and bailey factory: so you hate small business owners like me ok bigot 011
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I've said my piece, it's time for a different topic now that republicans are yapping about it 030
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I forget the exact numbers but it was over 200 a decade ago and now the US has fewer than 50. You're lucky if your state has one. 031
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 23/09/2026wait what are your thoughts on topo chico? I love their lime, but now that I think about it, I love it because it has a limey-kick to it 🍋🟩 110
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I feel like a business of this avenue (coffee/bar catering to a small community) is only long term sustainable if you're either: 1) nepo heir class traitor with 8 digits of USD to burn 2) anal/aggressive about monetization 3?) employee-owned 1771
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 22/09/2026why the fuck would you scalp a router? it's not like it's a pokemon card, if you make a good-value item Not A Good Value, people will just get the moderately expensive good thing instead of the 3x marked up value router 220
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It's complicated and even my balanced truncated thoughts can't fit in a single post. Still, it looks like all options for ownership in this case suck: do nothing and bar closes for bankruptcy/debt, unmask and here we are, something in between and everyone is confused and mad. 210
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 22/09/20261) I mention a co-op because that's one of the few ways to hold a meaningful decision-making stake in a business. 2) I mention the debt because it's not one person's responsibility to crash their finances to support a community. 3) Lesbian bars are dying because it's hard to be financially solvent. 110
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 22/09/2026if I see you in person come say hi! (I don't know what you look like) 110
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 22/09/2026conclusion? not sure. having a worker co-op might have been good to start, but idk if people want to share 50k of business debt. having patrons have outsized influence on business decisions may be popular on social media but again, this may not bring in a proportionate # of paying local regulars. 0160
elle 🐱 @ellebae.bsky.social · 22/09/20265) business owners don't inherently have a primary duty to be community stewards. Behind every nonbinary barista is a chudded out blue lives matter shop owner and grestar landlord 6) food service industry is already bleak. regular restaurants don't make a lot of profit and easily go in the red. 1160
