R.I.P. “Tiny Baby” ‘23 Chevrolet Bolt EV 2LT Sept. 2023 – Sept. 2026 You cost me insanely little money to run, and you allowed me to exact revenge on the worst of parkers. You also literally weighed two tons and frequently got stuck in wet grass.
A parked, oversized SUV with about a third of its width in another parking space, and a small electric vehicle fitting in that remaining space without going over the lines.  There’s about 5 cm between the cars.A small electric car stuck on a muddy hill inside a sheep farm.  The tow hook is attached to the front, and two planks of wood are situated in front of the tires.

Not what I meant when I said I missed my childhood. #tacobell #cyclosporiasis #explosivediarrhea
Edit of a political cartoon, wherein a woman reads a headline saying “Probe into explosive diarrheal cases points to Taco Bell and bad lettuce”, and a man flips a calendar from December 2026 to January 2006.

Well, I’ve finally started my feathersuit project in serious capacity. Not fursuit—a costume of a couple thousand or so individual fabric feathers. Bonkers, I know. First blog post: www.ssterling.net/furry/feathe.... I’ll use the #feathersuit hashtag, if you wanna follow! #fursuit #birds #furry

This is what is holding up my kitchen.
In a dingy, muddy crawl space: a slanted pillar of mismatched rocks, bricks, wooden planks and fragments of concrete masonry units, supporting a floor joist with limited contact area.

After all these years, I think I can finally understand contemporary American conservatism. At their core, Trumpists are wholly incapable of comprehending why people would just… care about other people—at least without something in it for them. Disappointed. #trump #maga #uspol #conservative

Still trying to process this hilarious and bizarre development with @captinmangletty.bsky.social
Screenshot of Twitch chat messages.  First is from sterbirb, a channel founder: “make me mod so I can post links [sarcasm]”; followed by, in deemphasized text, “captinmangletty granted moderator privileges to sterbirb.”  Messages from sterbirb then say: “wait, I’m mod??” in all caps, and “anyway” followed by a link to a Twitch clip.  At the bottom, highlighted in vibrant purple, is: “captinmangletty added you as a Moderator of this channel!”
