Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Just here to add that we read The Hobbit in my school’s gifted and talented fifth-grade reading class. Assignments included drawing scenes from the book to illustrate new words we learned and retelling the story from Smaug’s point of view. (Weird what brain cells survive the ravages of time.) 111
Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Social media got a lot more tolerable when I started assuming that everyone posts while waiting in line at the dispensary. 010
Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I came here low-key hoping for Weird Lil Guy’s First Night photos but goddamn this Lil Dude looks rad as hell!! 010

Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Everyone, please come see how handsomely my dog posed for me today. (Not pictured: 37 other photos almost exactly like these.) 152
Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 05/03/2026This song came up in the shuffle this morning. It remains one of my favorite song/video combinations, and not just because it makes me want to awkwardly and unselfconsciously white-girl dance out the end of the world through (what I assume is) Boston’s empty streets. youtu.be/Mc_wtqSSp5Iyoutu.beMan Man - Cloud Nein [LYRIC VIDEO]YouTube video by Sub Pop 010
Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Thank you so much for this! Bil Jac is definitely a brand my food-motivated fella knows and loves, guess it’s time for a new Chewy order. 😂 010

Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Oh, thank you so much for this! My old guy and I send our appreciation to you and your own elder pooch’s endorsement. 010
Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Dunno what kind of reach this will get, but does anyone have any recommendations for soft dog treats? My poor food-motivated elder pooch had a lot of teeth extracted yesterday and I don’t want to risk oral injuries. Dog tax included. 220

In that time, I've represented protesters against the Muslim ban, ICE, trans bans, DEI bans, genocide in Occupied Palestine, police brutality, and more. Want to know why more people don't protest? Here's why. 7359141
Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 26/01/2026I LOVE when people know an indoor tent is how you get through winter power outages! So glad the heat came back on, though. We didn’t have heat/power for three days after Superstorm Sandy, and I still keenly remember that agony I’d wish on no one (and that was only late autumn!). 120
Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 25/01/2026I live between a major road and rail tracks. In extreme weather, both get unusually silent, which is simultaneously my favorite and the most surreal time to live between two active transportation avenues. But my new favorite happened today: watching someone snow-mobile their way down the highway. 020
Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 22/01/2026For all the times I’ve changed my mind about a person, I never thought Paris Hilton would be someone I come to regard more respectfully. Look up some videos of her testifying in court, and then be in awe of how quickly she drops the ditz act and becomes an eloquent, impassioned woman. 050

Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 17/12/2025(Of course, it helps to go from the notoriously low-paying world of print media and applying those skills to a mid-level job in literally any other field so the comparative raise and perks feel like you’re getting away with something because perspective makes a good move feel like a genius hack.) 020
Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 17/12/2025If you’ve had a career where you keep getting unwanted responsibility heaped on you because other people routinely mistake your anxiety for ambition and it has burned you the fuck out, I heartily recommend returning to non-managerial roles. You are going! to! love! not being needed every 15 minutes. 120

Mad Mac @oneoddbroad.bsky.social · 01/12/2025I have greeted my first fully WFH job with an office chair made specifically for people who can’t sit normally and what is essentially a human-sized dog pillow, and this might be the closest I’ve ever been to knowing true professional joy. 010
