I thought our house had appropriately spooky seasonal decor, until the next door house put out two 🎃 ...and an asbestos removal team

A grey and white house with a white slatted fence along its front sidewalk. There are two pumpkins and one trash container outside. Several windows covered by plastic wrap and pink tape, indicating its status as an asbestos removal site.

So this phrase “able-bodied” has clearly been on the most recent list of R talking points. It comes from the first round of English labor laws, which were instituted after the Black Death. A mini medieval story time!

I'm so scared of cities. All those buildings so close to each other. You can go to the movie theater and a restaurant and the park while walking, in defiance of God. There are people you haven't met before. Sometimes there's a dog in a jacket

When I saw that my great-grandpa's brother Bryan built a long-term railroad accountancy career, I did wonder if that level of responsibility would take a heel turn and yep, it sure did.

March 29, 1930 headline titled "Two embezzlers given terms in federal jail" which describes two members of the Toledo Shore Line railroad who were sentenced to federal prison for two years. One of them is Bryan Thomas, my great grandfather's brother.

Learned today that my grandpa enlisted at 17 (fudging his birth year) to follow his dad's career military footsteps, only for his mom to pass suddenly four months later. He was discharged after less than a year for debiliitating depression that prevented effective service, and geez do you think?

Excellent @freezepopband.bsky.social show last night & we want to share photo evidence.

A live band suffused in red stage lighting. Members include a keytar player dressed in black goth gear and holding a rose in their teeth, a singer dressed in a short red dress with large black belt, and two members standing in front of standing keyboards. Another member stands behind them in an unbuttoned casual shirt, playing a synth drum pad.

Pale man and woman wearing Freezepop band shirts. One shirt is grey and patterned in an abstract scientific way. The other is groups of multicolored dots and reads, "Freezepop played at PAX 2008 and I was totally there."

Three people put on mock surprised expressions for a group photo. One of them's wearing a green-on-black shirt reading "Brain Power," another is wearing a Japanese shirt that shows David Bowie in the movie Labyrinth, and the third's wearing a cap with musical notes on its and a grey shirt for the band Freezepop.

When people in your life drift away, it's most often because their own situations changed, independent of anything you did. Since it's 2025, the caveat is "unless you ignored/supported the growth of fascism."
