My favorite part of the Superb Owl was getting to sleep through it since I’m overseas.

The second best part was waking up to an overflowing cup of racists’ tears.

Non, chers mΓ©dias dominants, une vidΓ©o complotiste avec des personnes noires representΓ©es en singes n’est pas Β« un message polΓ©mique Β» ni une Β« controverse Β». Essayez encore (c’est le mot raciste sans guillemets que vous cherchez).

My other fav didn’t like being a mid in the Royal Navy. So he convinced some enlisted sailors to desert, they stole an open boat and sailed to the U.S.

Tbh, with leadership chops like that he could’ve done well for himself in the Navy. Anyway, he ended up a dirt farmer in Kansas. 🀣

Well, after my mom passed, the family genealogy fell to me, so my question is how much time ya got?

One of my favorite is the Dutch woman who married a Puritan and fled to the New World because her dad was invited to dinner with the French King and lost his head (literally). Play the cards you got.

Seconded. Being a grown up requires acknowledging the truth that there are no cool kids.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:

1. Intro to Linguistics (met my wifey!)
2. Slavic Folklore (now taught by @rblemberg.bsky.social - buy their books!)
3. Protest and Revolution
4. Judo
5. Intro to Living Off of Flour & Water Pancakes

A representation of the globe oriented to maximize the amount of the Pacific Ocean that’s shown. Freaking gigantinormous man. Yes, that’s not a word, but damn folks, we need a neologism to cover the size of this ocean and that’s the best I got at the moment.

The size of the Pacific Ocean still astonishes me.

That’s a lesson boys have to learn in childhood - the consequences of getting it wrong are too high as a teen or as an adult. β€œFriend” and β€œliability” are too often synonymous.

I struggle with this too, in writing and IRL. Read your post and started thinking. Realized that the only men I’ve hugged as an adult are 1) my dad and 2) guys I served with. The most caring environment of my adult life was the military and my writing reflects that.
