Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Once again and despite his best efforts, Trump manages help the climate in a way no Democrat would ever be allowed to. 000
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 22/09/2026You should be embarrassed to publish this op-ed that doesn’t mention legalizing ADUs is required by state law 170
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I’ve been seeing parodies of Ed Sheeran songs making fun of him for being spineless and I have to say: changing the words is not enough to make his music enjoyable 020
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I sure hope today was the last gasp of summer. The heat and humidity have been back with a vengeance. 210
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 04/09/2026It’s symbolically incoherent. The Statue of Liberty holds a torch as a symbol of enlightenment. It’s not a weapon, and she’s not going into battle. Why would she hold a shield? 020

Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Made the mistake of opening my windows for fresh air yesterday and hoo boy am I paying for it in allergies now 150
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 21/08/2026BPD fired Robert Parks. Took them long enough, but good riddance. 020
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 19/08/2026My (solid blue state) teachers couldn’t handle being normal about the pledge of allegiance, there’s no way they could handle teaching the bible. We still managed to understand the scarlet letter without it. 140
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Similarly, people talking about surveillance should have to specify whether they mean that the government shouldn’t know what they’re doing if they’re not breaking reasonable laws (agreed) or that the government shouldn’t know what they’re doing even when they’re breaking reasonable laws (cmon, man) 110
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 16/08/2026We should be asking serious questions, like “If rural conservatives like America so much, how come they want to live so far away from Americans?” 140
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Sitting down with an ebook and the lights off was a mistake Now it’s not even 9 on a Friday and I already feel like it’s bedtime 030

Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I think at the presidential debates they should ask each candidate what one pet peeve they would fix via executive fiat. Mine would be directing the NWS to change the names for “watch” and “warning” to “likely” and “observed”. 020

Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Do the gamers know they’re going to be real air traffic controllers or is this more of an ender’s game situation 020
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Rallied, did a bunch of meal prep, and somehow despite my best efforts got habanero and/or ghost pepper juice on my fingers 020
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Significantly overestimated the amount of making-dinner energy I would have after my run It turns out that in the summer you can actually use liters to measure the will to live leaving your body 030

Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I hadn’t looked at the guide NJ requires e-bikers to read until now, but it turns out it contains both lies (“e-bikes aren’t designed to carry passengers”) and genuinely dangerous advice (“ride on the right so that people can pass you more easily”) 140
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I’ve been thinking about AR glasses and I have to wonder what percentage of the people involved have bad vision. If I had AR glasses and they glitched or showed me something that wasn’t there, my only option would be to take them off and stop being able to see. 100
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 03/08/2026You see this all the time when bike party rolls around. “How come they don’t ride in the bike lane” “How come they don’t ride in the park” “How come they don’t stop at traffic lights” “How come they don’t let me pass them” I promise you, none of you would be happier if we did those things. 121
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Quote posting this to bring attention to a very important Baltimore issue: if the sidewalk is smaller than 8 feet wide, we should get to put our trash/recycling bins in the street It’s very annoying that the sidewalk is unusable for a full two days a week 030
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 31/07/2026The combination of “bands only play DC” + “MARC and Amtrak stop running at 10pm” is rough. Can’t really justify a $200 hotel room or a $100 uber for a $15 show. 050
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 29/07/2026One of my pet peeves is whenever Columbia gets ranked for “most _____ cities in America”. It’s not a city! 040

Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Would love to see an ad campaign showing people getting into crashes because they’re trying to drive faster to make up time. The tagline would be “It’s okay to be late. You’ll live.” 030
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Went for a run this evening and it was so hot the sky didn’t look like it was the right color 000
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Someday I would love to know why the Maryland subreddit is full of gun nuts Is it reddit’s vestigial libertarian streak? A coincidental critical mass? I don’t know, but those people sure do love their guns 130
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Personally I think the workers suing for unpaid wages might be worth mentioning in the list of “downs” 250

Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 10/06/2026The only thing I don’t like about Widow’s Bay is that I have to wait until next week for another episode 010
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Fascinating how much phrasing affects responses. If 59% of Americans think doctor-assisted suicide is okay/depends on the situation, it should follow that at least 59% of Americans think that suicide in general is okay/depends on the situation. But that’s not what the numbers show at all! 011
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Do you think she knows about cell phone cameras? 020
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 08/06/2026In a very tangential way, this is why so many neighborhoods associations wind up being NIMBY. It’s hard to put together a coalition of people with the will, time, talent, and capital to bring good things to your neighborhood. It’s really easy to put together a group of complainers who always say no. 000
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Made the mistake of looking at the Maine subreddit to see how they were reacting and jesus that was bleak 110
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Now that we’ve all seen how awful Platner is and how much the people of Maine like him, can we all agree that they don’t deserve four times as much voting power in the Senate as we have here in Maryland? 150
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 29/05/2026I will be funding the construction of an enormous maze. It might look like 50 mi² of forest fully cleared of invasive plants, but rest assured, it has been carefully designed to get you lost. The paths are lined with poison ivy and raspberry brambles to prevent cheating. Cash prizes for the winners. 000
Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 25/05/2026And that’s even before depreciation and insurance! 040

Wizard Hazel @rudbeckiahirta.bsky.social · 22/05/2026So is there a world where we yell at the Banner enough to get them to retract the article, or should I just cancel my subscription now and save myself the trouble? 2143
