Oh, Nico, this gave me chills. Beautiful work!

this sort of cheesy, mixed use gordita crunch is illegal to build in most american cities

Oh I would be dying

We will! I've been a few times but don't get over there nearly often enough

Jealous! Wish I was over there now

definitely a pasta salad!

cincy's here in greensboro be like

thank you!

Give in, Elias. Join your fellow lefites in the #SmudgeLife

tbh I think a lot of it is inertia too. A lot of friends who haven't moved over seem to balk at the idea that Bluesky isn't just a backup of 2019 Twitter and you have to actually rebuild your audience and cultivate a community

Congrats! Thrilled to be sharing this TOC!

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.
