I post about cultural heritage, hockey, and politics. I may be well-rounded, but not that well-adjusted. I speak for me. she/her

The part of me rooting against the Tkachuk brothers was the part of me rooting for Merzlikins.

Still having Olympic-Sized Feelings about cheering for men's hockey Team USA against my Latvian goalie Elvis Merzlikins today

For the month of February, my emotional support Columbus Blue Jackets have been replaced by Olympic Women's Hockey Team USA.

We're doing the thing, winning the points. The #CBJ Olympians are superb this week.

Am I feeling hockey hope? Are we truly in the Upside Down? #CBJ

As a fan of the Blue Jackets for their entire 25 years, I feel very disoriented by all this winning. #CBJ

Wait until you hear that LLMs can only train on digitized/datafied info.

Most of the FACTS scholars use are in archives/libraries.

Less than 1% of archival colletions worldwide have been digitized.

Also: lots of facts are not even in archives, but in the attics.

Brutus writing Script Ohio in the snow at the goal line was not on my bingo card but he is ungovernable

Shifting the setting of Frankenstein to the 1850s enabled the inclusion of period-appropriate photography, and wet plate collodion on glass could absolutely have survived in the snow

Sometimes I go to the movies during home OSU games, but I just watched Frankenstein (a masterpiece) and it ended at the exact time that everyone is trying to leave Ohio Stadium (a master mistake).

The Dems who are apoplectic over Cuomo's loss are the same Dems who keep giving us the same old guard status quo nonsense that leads to low voter turnout and GOP wins.

So will @guster.bsky.social release a statement about their 2024 album with this color scheme that references Ophelia and famous artworks, or nah

My conspiracy theory is that private equity put JoAnn out of business so that it's harder for us to make our own shit during this late stage capitalist oligarchy. Maybe drop your favorite small craft business below. Eat the rich, shop local, make crafts, do crimes. ✌️

Unclaimed Funds The Division of Unclaimed Funds reunites Ohioans with lost or forgotten money and property, but also works with organizations to identify those assets for reporting.

Ohio politicians plan to fund a new NFL stadium for the Browns in Brook Park with $600 Million in unclaimed funds. That money belongs to Ohio citizens, not the Haslams. Tell your friends, family, frenemies - search here and claim your funds! com.ohio.gov/divisions-an...

With cuts to education, libraries, the arts, healthcare, social programs, environmental protections, & disaster response all on the table, I've written my reps with no results. So I'm voting with my dollars. If money talks, I won't spend mine where they profit. Eat the rich. Help your neighbors. 4/4

This isn't possible for everyone. My salary is a liveable wage, and I don't have dependents or major health issues. I am thankful every day for having worked for and simply lucked into this kind of privilege. We're 155 days into this nightmare, and things aren't looking good for any of us. 3/4

After 6 months, I paid off my credit card debt, tripled my (meager) savings, and moved from a big retail bank to a local credit union. My life is quieter. I consume less. I planted herbs. I meal plan. I use my library constantly. Next month I can finally start donating to good causes. 2/4

This year, I'm trying to keep my hard-earned dollars in my community instead of contributing to a huge corporation's quarterly earnings. Money talks & I started fighting capitalism with every penny. I began to repair, reuse, borrow, share, buy used, go without, or shop local whenever possible. 1/4 🧡

Once again I am at the airport before dawn but this time I have already gotten four compliments on my shirt that says "BAN FASCISTS, SAVE THE BOOKS"

This is so important. The Library of Congress staff holding the line against illegal takeover yesterday is even more heroic if you realize that digital book-burning and placing every copyrighted item in the hands of AI is the goal.

Feeling everything deeply is good, but it is exhausting to rage against the dying of the light at every turn.

I am not equipped to handle this era without frequent bouts of weeping

My friends are checking on me and I love them for it

My hope shattered this week but they're helping me put it back together

I'm listening to a playlist called Feminist Rage Songs on repeat
