This was a “we have been squirreling away the last of the original formula sparks” party but a couple girls got in the shower fully clothed and then tried to dry their phones in the microwave

A good friend of mine teaches memoir and creative nonfiction and I sent him links with the suggestion he provide them to his students as an example of what not to do. He replied, “like the giant panda, secrets ate away at the bamboo of our love”

Ok that sounds rad as hell and like something my horror aficionado husband in particular would enjoy. Do you know if the only place it’s available to watch is that Roadstead website?

I have seen this attitude more from tiktokers than anywhere else and I have to wonder if it’s matter of them being would-be influencers, not organizers or activists. They are protecting their brand as online leftists by discouraging mass action.

Tho, re: mingling, I did not see any DSA presence in Philly, but there were a lot of RevComs, a few SAlts, a few PSL. Curious what’s up with that.

“Fuck ICE, go Birds” was maybe the most common sign in Philadelphia. The normies are furious and this is a good thing.

Awwww, this is just like our kitties. We have a catsitter come everyday for food, water, litter box, and then a friend of mine comes over a couple times to “work from home” in our office so they can get enough love.

A friend of mine not on bsky who trained to be an audio engineer has pivoted to teaching engineering and doing voice over work for this reason. Of course, now they’re doing AI voiceovers.

The best writing I’ve ever done was a line by line exegesis of the second inaugural. A beautiful, courageous speech. Incredible to imagine a leader in wartime who could stand in front of his country and say, “we deserve to die for the crimes we have allowed.”

This is the correct answer and as a biological anthropology PhD I have particularly enjoyed the recent iteration.

San Diego International for many reasons, but especially because you never wait long for checked luggage.

One time I was there, everyone was waiting out the weather delays in the bar. This one guy gets a notification that his flight has been canceled so the bartender poured his drink into a to-go cup.
