I'm a tree barber in Maine. Can and will talk about Terry Pratchett's Disc World for way longer than is comfortable for most people. Got all the A's. ADHD, Autism (unconfirmed, but highly probable) Ace-spec, Anxiety, and an Arborist.

Just popping back on here to make it clear that I hate J.K. Rowling and she can take allllll her transphobic bullshit directly to hell.

Of the possible reasons for there to be a white fedora on the ground in my driveway, I look forward to zero of them.

Don't get me wrong, I don't really have anything against Nickelback, it just seemed like an odd combination.

Did my dentist do a psychological experiment on me?
Is there another reason to leave someone in a dentists chair, alone in a room with a small radio playing nothing but Nickelback?

Suuuper engaged to the love of my life ❀️ we got indecisive when it came to the ring portion of things so if we find one more I'll have a different one for each day of the week! #love #yesforreal

Exactly! The teeny takeout place I referred to is similar. It's also the ONLY business in the area that shows up on the "everywhere is queer" app.

Thank you for this! I'll definitely get check at my next appointment. I'm told I only got a single dose as a kid in the late 80s.

Fair, but in this case the town is so small everyone knows which places are decent to work.and which aren't.

Isn't supporting the lively hood of your neighbors an aspect of mutual aid?

You must realize that buying from a small business, (with cash) that bought their supplies LAST WEEK. Is literally zero difference from everyone going and spending tons of money at big box stores yesterday to get the things they would normally have bought today.

Only money I'm spending today is going to the amazing teeny tiny take out place with cash, and probably a couple of things at the small family owned grocery store in town because I am fully addicted to a specific brand of coffee creamer. πŸ˜…

There were so many people freaking out comparing covid to "The Stand". Personally I'm more concerned that our government is apparently being run by multiple versions of Greg Stillson from "The Dead Zone" @stephenking.bsky.social has someone been opening doors that should have stayed shut?

The Maine Millennial: America’s new F-word is more offensive than the original I don't care if you think I'm silly and hysterical in comparing present-day America and Nazi Germany.

I've thinking about this a lot lately too. Should probably look at renewing my passport actually.

I'm fairly certain I watched it multiple times as a kid, but I don't remember much about it beyond the general concept. I do remember it was delightful though πŸ˜‚

REMEMBER:
A tactic of OPPRESSION and SUPPRESSION is EXHAUSTION

The goal is to wear you down into surrender and complacency, then threaten and your ease and your peace if you resist 

RESIST ANYWAY

Find new ways to disobey 

Make fun of them 

Laugh at them when they don’t intend to be funny

Demand they explain themselves. Let them rant then simply say β€œI don’t understand - can you say that again?”

Utilize weaponized incompetence

EXHAUST THEM BACK

Depression is effective too! I cut my grocery bill almost in half since the middle of January! πŸ˜‚

I hope the flu goes away soon 😊

We have the best conversations.

Me: That would be really weird
Him: It's already really weird
Me: You're already really weird!
Him: No shit!

Both are now deceased from laughter.

I've been using this compromise for years and it's reduced my paper towel use dramatically!

Paper products are also important for those of us who struggle with depression and other chronic issues. Sometimes washing things is just not an option.

The leeward side of an island on a foggy day, octarine (OK, green or purple depending on the context) and my favorite menace is the giggling cryptid that is my boyfriend and I roaming a big box store with a pocket full of self adhesive googly eyes.

Thanks! The deer in my area are pretty much tame. She was only about 15 feet away from me.
