For the first winter in 8 years I don’t have to be out in the snow working.

So, for the first time in 8 years, I hope Portland becomes blanketed…

4/4. I got the media literacy, babes!!!

Another otter formline commission for loial otter via TG!! :>

Which, on an archeological level, makes sense. Since before time wrote, we have had songs on strong beats to labor through tasks, usually as a group.

While a theater/drama kid, no opinions one way or the other about musicals. I have my favs (Chicago, Moulin Rouge, Little Shop Of Horrors, RHPS) & was in My Fair Lady, I don’t really love or hate musicals generally.

BUT, I have found an #ADHD hack. Put on a musical, sing along, & get work done!

Ready to make sure the good vibes are rolling….🪦

A picture of a 4 x 6 inch sticker sheet. The sheet design has a worn paper texture to it, and has several ink and stain marks on it. The sticker designs consist of six mythical medieval monsters in formline design; a wyvern, a gargoyle, a unicorn, a sea horse, a basilisk, and a gryphon.

But they would rather toe to the status quo by voting against or “not being involved” than actually sit & consider a PARTNER.

And THAT, ladies, is the biggest 🚩of all…

We want partners who consider us. Gender norms are “the man protects” & I’m supposed to put trust in a man who doesn’t have my best interests & equality in mind?

The truth is, they DO care about politics. Currently they aren’t directly impacted so they CAN ignore it/vote against progressive.

6/🧵

I was talking to a guy, FOR YEARS (the only reason we hadn’t dated/hooked up was distance) that I had a pretty deep emotional connection with. The death knell was him saying “I don’t really bother myself with politics rn.” Never spoke to him again. Instant 🚩no longer attracted.

5/🧵

It’s baffling to me. When I see that my actions/decisions have not led to a desired outcome, I think about WHY that is & adjust for my wanted outcome.

If women are rejecting you b/c you voted for 🟠 & you want women to not reject you…DONT VOTE AGAINST THEIR INTERESTS.

4/🧵

4. Even if (b/c of your privledge) stuff going down rn doesn’t affect you, you’re not listening to 🚺 & 🟤 to make informed decisions? 🚩 (Im not a parent; when I have to vote on kid stuff, I TALK TO PARENTS)

5. You’re not able to see how your lack of action has long term, lasting consequences? 🚩

3/🧵

That says SO MUCH by trying to say nothing.

1. You don’t have any femme presenting people in your life that you care about/listen to? 🚩

2. You don’t believe women should have rights over their own bodily autonomy? 🚩

3. You don’t have any friends of color? 🚩

2/🧵

I came across a YouTube video of straight, white men talking about how hard it is to date now b/c they’re asked political views as a first date question.

So many try to avoid the question by saying they’re not very involved in politics, but baby boy…that is SUCH a privileged thing to say.

Niiiiice!

Because this is the kind of car I LOVE, I’m willing to drop the $$$ to fix her up. I at least KNOW now what needs to be done.

Yeah, my mechanic tried to be realistic with me & said “I wouldn’t drop this on an 18 yo car if you’re going to get something new in a couple years.”

I was like “sir, respectfully, this is my dream car & it’s a gamble getting ANY Element re: service history.”

What kind??

Frustrating day at work only made more frustrating that the Honda Element I bought on Halloween needs about $4000 in work.

Like, I knew I was getting a car I needed to fix up. But I thought it was mostly cosmetic. Now I have to fix big mechanical issues BEFORE I can do the fun cosmetic stuff 😭😭😭

Born F6, went on a whole journey to examine what I think of each color, and ended up E5.

I’ll be restoring my 07 Honda Element, and DIYing her into a Spooky Girl Dream Car

It may have taken me a week to recover from the drive home to post this video, but I finally have my DREAM CAR. And many, many plans to restore her to tip top shape, and make her into the Spooky Girl ... TikTok video by 𝖂𝖞𝖖𝖚𝖊𝖉ฬคภ๔ɛཞɛཞ

A first-time HPV vaccination campaign sees some success -- and strong resistance The goal: inoculate 90% of girls in parts of Pakistan to immunize them against the infection that causes cervical cancer. "Our biggest challenge was to counter misinformation," says a spokesman.

…call 911 & what…WAIT for a whole ass fire truck to come? That instead of alerting anyone to problem solve you pull out your phone & film it??? Why? PUT OUT THE FUCKING FIRE. Don’t FILM it. IT’S A FIRE. There are dry leaves and cars near by.

These women were my age. What is WRONG with people?

One servers quickly fills a pitcher & jogs it out to put out the fire. It was a shirt, new with tags, that obviously was either very flammable or had an accelerant put on it.

But it’s the lack of critical thinking that is sending me. That instead of asking a restaurant for water, you’re gonna…

Two women come OUT of the bagel place & pull up their phones to start filming. I take exactly 2 seconds to look at these three grown-ass women wondering wtf their brains are before opening the door to the bagel shop to say “hey! There’s a small fire out here. Do you have a pitcher of water?”

2/4

I’ve gotten to the age that I don’t understand where people’ve placed their brains anymore.

Walking to bagel place to grab breakfast I see there’s a small (campfire sized) fire on the sidewalk just outside the bagel shop. A woman jogging behind me pulls out her phone to call 911.
