M to the K

What I think is wild about London is how differently they speak based on such _tiny_ (to me) geographical differences!

What do sheriffs do when all the cities/towns touch? How do you feel like you have a hometown when the next town is like six contiguous streets away? I lived there long enough it started to feel normal but it was very strange at first. I could see going in the other direction being equally weird.

No shade to those folks, btw. If you haven’t driven from one side to the other a few times it’s genuinely hard to imagine.

When I moved to MA I struggled w/the fact that there was no “between” towns. Like no fields or anything. Just a sign saying leaving Town X and another welcoming you to Town Y.

I’m not convinced that it was always a name confusion issue, though. If you live where the states are small in size and fly when you travel to other parts of the country I’m not sure you can truly understand how very very wise the US is and how much bigger the western states are.

Moved to ID from MA but my immediate family were in IA and IL. Had several people say “oh that’ll be nice to be closer to family.” Nope, Boston is pretty much the same distance from Cedar Rapids as Boise is.

Dutifully got my annual screening mammogram today and realized that I could call it “mashed poTIToes” and this may be the proudest of myself I’ve ever been.

Repost with a movie you know all the words to…

Productive procrastination is how I accomplish anything.

Former @idahodems.bsky.social candidate for ID House, Teresa Borrenpohl, was removed by force, 2 women were detained for filming, an NIC reporter was injured.

Because the crowd booed school vouchers.

(URGENT) We need your help identifying the four men in the black coats who assisted Norris. #idpol

Congress shall make no law… abridging the right to free speech. 1st Amendment, United States Constitution.

Apparently Kootenai Co. Sheriff Noriss doesn’t think that applies to him, nor does he respect the Constitution, nor the Constitutional rights of Idaho Citizens.

Mac and cheese box with the words “built in play” in a font that looks more like “butt play” from a distance.

Genuinely thought this mac & cheese box said “butt play” so, yeah, I’d say my brain also took today off of work.

It reminds me of when people used to earnestly call in to the radio station to dedicate Pearl Jam’s “Better Man” to their boyfriend.

I love those Delta cookies. Zero desire to eat them when on the ground. I also love a hot dog outside but they never occur to me as inside food.

Posts that start with “This was too funny not to share”
are almost always not funny. I wonder if it was actually funny before those words were typed and it’s like spooky curse or something.

Large crowd of people gathered in front of the Idaho Statehouse for the Women’s March.

Women’s March sign that says “So bad, even introverts are here.”

In a sea of good signs, this was (IMO) the best one. #boise #womensmarch

Jealous!

Sweet! In that case, I vote 1 3 2 most to least favorite.

Are we doing ranked choice voting?!?!

Thanks for curating these. If you need another name, I’m not sure Blueskydaho is taken.

Saturday night’s all right for LEGOs.

I get the butter chicken with paneer subbed for chicken. So good!

Apparently “See? Everything looks very normal.” while gesturing vaguely around the house is actually _not_ a reassuring thing to say as your spouse is unpacking from being gone for a week.

I could be wrong b/c I was admittedly eavesdropping in a busy restaurant and had to fill in some gaps myself but…I think the booth next to me at lunch was 4 women who all seemed to be trying to recruit each other to 4 different MLMs. It was like Pyramid Scheme Human Centipede.
