I am so tired of Jonestown being a stock reference for “haha, you’re in a cult.” 918 people died, most against their will, and still it has become shorthand for how stupid you think someone is. It's the McDonald's hot coffee incident of mass death — universally referenced, entirely misremembered.

In college in joined an independent coed fraternity, it has a very active alumni group that I am involved with. A bunch of men over 40 just showed up in the comments of a 9 year old post in our fb group that was sharing our Me Too doc asking why the google doc wouldn’t open. I’m annoyed.

Rewatching DS9 really puts a magnifying lens on why the newer Trek shows just don’t grab me that much. Strange New Worlds would be way better if it had a million episodes per season and you could get entire episodes devoted to Carol Kane having a spa day.

To interrupt Pippin’s story before the part where Bilbo vanishes, Frodo jumps on a table. They ask for a song. ‘There is an inn, a merry old inn beneath an old grey hill And there they brew a beer so brown That the Man in the Moon himself came down one night to drink his fill…’

Saw a sign for an event called “Fur Fest” in town. I live in the exact kind of place in Vermont where I have no idea how they mean that.

This thread would have college me who was a religion major and wanted to write a book about The Muppet Movie, to expound rapidly on Kermit as a Jesus figure and related thoughts for a minimum of 40 minutes.

It was a beautiful day to drive from central Vermont to Portland, Maine. (This takes you directly through New Hampshire’s White Mountains) Drizzly, but the colors up close were amazing!

Love it when you have something important to you and fun to do so your body decides you shouldn’t sleep the night before. Then you get to sleep and a freaking pileated woodpecker decides to wake you up.

My day was also bad because I finally had to upgrade my phone to the iOS that has Liquid Glass (thanks for autocorrecting that to capitals, Apple, just real proud of it, huh?) because stuff like the alerts for my basement leak sensors stopped working. Now everything is ugly.

Dodgeball. I saw it at a drive-in in Williston, ND, but not in a car. I went on a bicycle. I was in the middle of a cross country bike trip. They didn’t give us any problems. We sat on the ground. I forgot how we listened to it. It was a lot of fun!

Whatever you thought about the situation before, realize that much of America is high-fiving rn over the vibes of "well at least we're not like those too-woke, mask wearing, communist lesbians" and I beg you to see why that's unequivocally a bad thing during the rise of fascism.

Having unfortunately increasingly socialized with people in elite circles in the last 8 years its a pattern you can't help but notice. A poor, struggling working class person becomes elite as soon as they dye their hair blue.A guy who owns five establishments is working class when he dons a MAGA hat

Just got an email from them saying their distributor fucked them over, and didn’t honor first ordered, first fulfilled, I ordered the day they went on sale. I just would have appreciated an email saying they were having problems sooner so I could have gone to my local bookstore, which has some.

When you see a story about a problem, where is the organizing, ask who is doing the organizing, is the story covering the organizing? Ask where the most vulnerable are in that organizing. Ask if their leadership and struggle are mentioned at all. Ask what work that story is doing for the organizing.

Preordered my signed Hollywood, Ending from Bookshop.org and it still hasn’t shipped and says back ordered. Sigh. I’ll probably get my copy at the event in Portland, Maine on Sunday first. I had hoped to have finished it by then. Oh well.

The outright refusal to treat white supremacy as an ideology which motivates action and treat it as generally objectionable is what allows this strategy to be viable for Elon Musk.

1 am pissed. I paid a bunch of local homeless people and day-workers to wait in line for the 30th drop.
Guaranteed them 50% of profits on all sales or $200 cash per ETB they got - whichever was higher a week after launch. Now, they know the prices and they're coming to collect cash. I am losing about $150 per ETB at current prices ($200 payment to line waiters + $50 retail price, selling at $100-$150). This is bullshit. They know people make their livelihoods off flipping these cards, why did they make so many???Screenshot of a forum post that reads: SoHo Icey 2:50 PM
don't know what to do. I maxed out 3 different credit cards buying as much 3Uth Anniversary stuit as possible. Everyone was talking about it for over a year. I's the most hyped set ever. Why did they make so much? What am I going to tell my wife??? There is no way I can offload all of this at a profit and my local stores aren't accepting returns. I've been nothing but loyal to this brand for over 8 months and this is how they treat us? They knew it would financially ruin people. They knew the secondary economy they created.
They are no worse than a communist government controlling their currency. Pokemons greed ruined my livelihood.

My house is 61°F and holding. I have the heat set for 60°. If it goes on it goes on. I’m trying to save heating oil with current prices, but I already have it set extra low and I’m not playing the game. During shoulder seasons it often will only run once a day and use less fuel than a short shower.

Got the electric blanket out tonight. For the bed, the one on the couch never left. We’ll see if the heat comes on in the morning. I have it set for four degrees cooler than what I have it set for in the winter (might try a degree or two colder this year), probably not.

In 10th grade, on a band trip, we went to this giant mall in Toronto. I was so nauseous, I felt weird and horrible. I puked in trash cans. I just randomly ran into a picture of it. Sensations flooded back and I realized for the first time that I was having a migraine. My first one?

Goldenrod is peak flower, slumped over a wooden picnic table bench. A honeybee with giant pouches of pollen on its legs is feeding.

Saw a random reskeet of this and was so excited I preordered it immediately, like in 30 seconds, (no link but I just searched the title and it came right up) even not previously being familiar (as far as I know) with any of the authors. I just love rivers and wished I had studied them in college.

At a Halloween party at in college there was a guy I didn’t know dressed in a TNG Star Fleet uniform. I was drunk. I sat on the arm of the chair he was sitting in, leaned in and said, “4 pips, made yourself a captain!” Then lectured him on how imperialist the Federation was. Then got up and left.

Instead, when trans voters express entirely predictable pain and horror and fear on BlueSky, the priority of cis people is to lecture us about political reality and how we're responsible for the fascists cis people voted in while trans folks voted overwhelmingly against them.

At the creemie (ice cream) stand they forgot someone’s spoons for their sundaes, he had to comeback to ask. He was uncomfortable and said, “In New Hampshire they would be fine but in Vermont they need spoons.” Wish I had said, “We are also resourceful in VT, but we know how to ask for small things.”

Did you know that “make hay while the sun shines” is about fair weather and not daylight? Anyway, it’s going to rain a lot overnight and tomorrow. The sun has been set for almost two hours and guess what that people who own the hay field above my house are doing at 9:00 on a Saturday night?

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

Went outside today and there was a dead mouse on the top of my picnic table, right in the middle. I guess some hawk or owl dropped their lunch and didn’t bother to swoop down and retrieve it. Lovely.

My Trumpist, gun loving neighbors just sold their house. To the slum lord who bought the defunct college campus and an apartment building in town. He wants to tear down the house and build a lot of small rental houses. And build a road through it and along a side of my property. Sigh. Miss the MAGAs
