Real Estate Agency's table of promo stuff and pamphlets for folks stopping by to asses summer rental opportunities. (A year or 2 years in advance will secure the good spots. And the deposit is not cheap.)

The good news is...this is happening. I need to jump into the ocean so badly right now. Soon, the sea will envelope me in its healing, beach day, waters....

If there were cameras following me the last few hours I would appear as ridiculous as a slap stick character in a Charlie Chaplin film. Or like Mr. Bean. But it's not funny when you're living it due to cptsd.

I still find it darkly funny that a bunch of people went โ€œIโ€™ll never take the COVID vaccine because Big Pharmaโ€ while pushing Ivermectin as an alternative, which doesnโ€™t work on viruses and is made by Merck.

Annie Oakley demonstrates her skills in the cramped Edison Black Maria studio, a tarpaper shack that served as a location for most of the company's early releases.

Movies were a novelty-verging-into-a-craze when this film was released in 1894 and Oakley was one of many celebrities engaged by Edison

The scariest part points to implications as to how wealth drives elections. Their world is consumed by their wealth, status and posturing this dual existence that allows a performance to becomes reality. "My show is brilliant. I have more money & connections so WTF cares what people really think."

if we want the rewards of watching fruits basket in public while having dinner alone, we must submit to the mortifying ordeal of a voter saying hi and then see that we are watching fruits basket in public while having dinner alone

This is a fantastic idea!

Ohio has a tax credit of $50 for individuals or $100 for married couples for donations to candidates for certain offices. Not enough people use it. Seattle's idea is fantastic.

cuomo would have no idea why this is a fun, community building, celebration of nyc being NYC. And actually celebrate all our experiences working & living in nyc.

This is hilarious. The NYC Walk is something you never lose! Even at the height of my spine fuckery I ended up falling into it because that's just the pace you use on the streets of Manhattan (to the point I was a badly limping wreck by the end of the trip, heh)

Which is the devastating truth because scripture has always been appropriated and twisted that way so as many people feel it's as utterly useless as possible.

Wrestling with scripture is hard, painful, and when carefully shepherded through that struggle, the result is liberation. When not?

Thank you, legacy media, for *never* catching on to how platforming extremists with extremist views causes viewers to adopt these.

We have to #unplug this country. But no one can shut the power off. Or, think Walter Peck in Ghostbusters. "He just shut down the containment unit."

Also, the story in Exodus kinda gets "sane-washed" in its retellings. So much so, I missed the grinding up of the golden calf and forcing the people to drink it in this ritual cleansing (to remove a plague ๐Ÿ˜ฌ)? It's such a subtle difference & in its particular context, symbolizes an emphatic msg.

Isn't it funny, the correlations to the golden calf and false worship, and the golden clown cult?
Remember a could of years ago at a CPAC when they made a golden statue of Trump? The punishment for worshipping a golden clown will probably be worse.
Something about gold. Like it's a symbol.
