Finch in Albu-turkey 🦃

I should be the happiest fucking person on the planet, with the number of platelets I’m pumping out on the daily. I guess that explains why I’m not actually clinically depressed, despite all the *gestures broadly*

accidentally wore my i’m a pussy ass bitch t-shirt and now i’m in congress

great question. the world would end

What the fuck.

"save your anger for 2026" wait you think I'll run out in a year this is why I hate amateurs

Imagine going to extra school for learning all the laws real good and then they stop using them. Hilarious.

Respirator mask in public is the most potent protection, clean the air and shots are mere add ons to that and they are not suitable standalone options whereas a mask is. Washing your hands is unrelated to protection from airborne pathogens so do it for unrelated reasons.

I love paying $65 a month for the right to receive 8 calls minimum per day from “Scam Likely” but if I stopped paying that $65 a month it would cut me off from the world entirely.

how many last straws can one have

oh noes some people from a different culture moved in I think I will obsess about it day and night and forget to enjoy this twinkle of time I have as a sentient being in an endless swirl of dust and gas we call existence

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

AI has made me more creative

Not because it has helped me with any creative tasks

But because my limited experiences of trying to use it helped me remember the true creative power of my own brain

No idea!

6:30 AM meeting canceled at 6:28 AM.

Happy birthday to "Sesame Street," which my mother always credited for teaching me and Dave Jr. to read (of course, it was she who did that, with an assist from EB White). Like all right-thinking toddlers, I had a crush on Gordon

The ACA made my whole self-employed life possible. For almost ten years, I was able to build a career that actually worked for me AND keep receiving necessary care to address the consequences of childhood medical neglect. And I still deserved better. We all do.
