Those are colloquially known as "lafufu" (aka counterfeit)
Same, but I only have nonstop thoughts and dialogue not visual images. Learning that not everyone has a constant thought soundtrack and that I'm simultaneously missing out on visualizations was quite a mindfuck
All these dad jokes are cute
I’m going to be extremely old here and ask what is even meant by sticking ‘core’ to a random noun and using it as a descriptor for your book/game/thing. What even is “wizardcore”?
Exactly and they also don't want to short themselves on workers who do their yardwork, clean their houses and fill lower wage hospitality positions etc.
Yes, & I realized recently this is why my republican friend runs to call me every time she's emotionally struggling & needs support & advice. Does she call any of her conservative friends, absolutely not. Yet she makes no connection between my politics and who I am as a person
There’s nothing dumber than a bunch of jackasses celebrating Independence Day after they’ve installed a king.
I mean yeah if the president's supporters actually cared. If the files are released they will use whatever deflection and mental gymnastics are necessary to turn a blind eye. As always
@theguardian.com Could you maybe not parrot the bizarre verbal rhetoric used to describe this bill? It's bad enough feeling like we live in the upside down without news agencies participating in our gaslighting
Grow a spine. This is an act of war. Did you authorize it?
I learned to value earnestness a long time ago. Whether it's out of fashion or not doesn't change that for me but is disappointing to realize. Being united feels like herding cats
I find it upsetting also. I had hoped we were allies
Ouch "Maybe you worked with Food Not Bombs and made a clip-art anarchist zine back when you lived in a punk house, but a moderately popular Bluesky user has never heard any of those words before and is filing you under 'wine moms 4 Kamala.'"
The streets are clearly so violent
IDK, I recently read it and the whole plot seemed to revolve on missed communication and waiting by the phone because while there was time travel there was no mobile communication
Did you enjoy it? I love every book in the Wayfarers series
This picture was identified as fake when it was first spread and now it's old and fake. You aren't helping, but you probably realize that
Thank you for your integrity, your courage and your truth telling

Please don't make me verify this myself
Can you source this information? I went to the website and fb page on it and don't see this chart. I'd like to share it but not if I can't verify it
and I loved Catcher in the Rye as a late adolescent. It had a place in my mind during one of many transitions in my life. I don't still cling to it now or run to defend Salinger

Most of these drugs leave the system quickly, and some of them can be prescribed legally. It would have to be unannounced testing and you would have to be lucky to catch anything actually illegal other than weed. Tldr this is stupid
We're about to have some electrical work done and the electrician warned us some components are going to cost significantly more because of...tariffs
D is for douchebag
I thoroughly enjoyed Dogs of War by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I chose this cover depiction because it's the closest to how I imagine Rex. He and the rest of the multiform assault pack, Honey, Dragon and Bees, have all stayed with me. Also, interlibrary loan for the win #skybrarians #booksky #scifi 📚
I honestly don't know any of them who are unhappy yet. They're well trained not to listen to news outside their bubbles and everything spoon fed to them is spun in a blender first
I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism
Something about a fool and their money We have incredible strawberries here. Unfortunately supermarkets aren't where you find them. Farmstands are the way
This was inevitable so hopefully no one is really surprised
Older maga voters in my town get their monthly food bank distribution from local churches and misunderstand where it really comes from. As more people need help and less is available it will be an interesting wake-up call
1. You 2. Are 3. Not 4. My 5. Boss Fuck Off
The full irony is that one of the victims assumed it was an antisemitic attack and responded with "Death to Arabs" on his social media. The Onion couldn't make up this level of hate fueled stupidity
Waking up is definitely hard these days
Oh look, this possum agrees with me about the cake bsky.app/profile/wren...
Seriously, everything is good. They stand behind all of it, you can return anything anytime but I never do. Great tires. And the pharmacy has been one of the only places to get novavax (C-19 vax). Beautiful inexpensive fresh flowers. And the special order sheet cakes from the bakery are delicious.
They have whole vanilla beans too

I wanted to ask if he even believes in the separation of powers he's supposed to be teaching. He's a Trump supporter & regularly brings politics into discussions w students. It's very telling seeing the quality of education, the comprehension level of students & the voter outcomes in my community
Oh, they believe it. I'm constantly amazed by the Olympic level mental gymnastics they can perform. I have a neighbor who is a classroom teacher & devout Trump/Musk supporter. She's positively gleeful about all the great work she believes they're doing. She believes RFK Jr. is going to MAHA too
Just this week I listened to a high school independent studies instructor coach a student to write a few answers about separation of powers. The student had zero comprehension but wrote what they were told and they moved on to the next questions. That student will soon graduate and become a voter
Also, the guy who's receiving a $400 mil contract for one business just agreed to pay a $10 mil judgement from another www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/busines...
I'm guessing he doesn't need tesla anymore
And to be clear, we've had 4 inches of rainfall in an area with a seasonal average of 20. To call this the "wet winter season" ignores the fact that we're heading back into drought and a rough summer
Damn you. I had completely forgotten this song existed and would have liked to keep it that way
Sometimes you have to play with your food. Homemade chicken alphabet soup for the soul. I feel better already.

This was prompted by a post from someone who spied a yard full of chickens while on a walk and the owner invited them into the coop to hang out with their birds. Wtaf, they had literally also been walking through waterfowl habitat. This is a textbook example of how HPAI spreads
We are not going to any poultry or livestock shows. We have dedicated coop shoes. Delivery vehicles are not allowed beyond our front gate (tires track fomites from farm to farm). No new birds without 6 week quarantine (no new birds anyway, but just saying). HPAI is not something to FAFO
To my chicken peeps. Pls get more familiar w good biosecurity. You should not be stepping into other people's chicken pens & vice versa. Nor visiting petting zoos, wildlife parks or feed stores w/o disinfecting your shoes after. Avian Influenza is spread by fomites. We take flock safety seriously
Please don't contribute to the problem of sharing fake and altered images
Gee, I wonder
They're available in many languages and can be self-printed
Hmm, I randomly picked Rain Roll In. It reminded me of a trite version of Tear Down the House by Avett Bros
Welp, that explains it
Do you like chapulines? Up until now, chicken has been one of the more affordable proteins
I hate the future. We were promised flying cars and instead we got this bullshit
I like how he specifies baby humans, as if we're out here having other kinds of babies
This is fantastic
Wtaf, if a robot is going to take my collision report it better come to me
You get what you vote for
Also the idea that the demise of humanity is going to come because no one's having babies anymore is pure idiocy
Oh man, feral killer Bob got me 💀
Hearth cat
Seriously fucking trying
I wish
Fake Stephen King followed me and for about one minute I felt extreme happiness
Majority of what we get in the mountains 😒
"like the universe has stripped its gears" is exactly how things feel. The fact that the nazis were eventually beaten back is the only thing giving me hope right now
Some people get excited about reaching 250,000 followers. Me over here, I'm just tickled to reach 250 in 3 months when I was on twitter for years and barely got to 100. The good thing I guess is that I'm completely desensitized to shouting into the void
The next time we butcher a steer I should rub my face all over it for content and so I can be beautiful
This is delightful. Travel well, sir. High school me waited for every episode of Twin Peaks and stayed up late reading Laura Palmer's diary like an obsessed weirdo. It was so dark and deliciously bizarre I'm still surprised it was on network TV
It seems like people in film are completely oblivious to how it looks to see them celebrating themselves in such opulent and self-aggrandizing fashion. I feel this way every year. The spectacle of it is grotesque Tldr: what a wank fest
In honor of my long lost MySpace account and one of my favorite artists, here's The Garden by Mirah. You're welcome #musicsky
You named him "Spirit" and then put an arrow through his heart. Now what?
Agreed. We live near an inmate work camp, it's been here my entire life. It's low security in a beautiful forest. It's voluntary for the inmates and a huge asset to our community. When not working fires, they clear brush, remove dead trees & cut fire lines along roadways
There's also a whole younger generation that believes this is normal US politics since they've never seen different

Since 2020 in California, inmates who were part of the California Conservation Camps on release can have their records immediately expunged with a petition and get hired by the fire department with the exception of some extreme convictions.
People don't realize how responsive & organized CalFire's Incident Mgmt Teams are. When we had a fire I watched them assemble their base camp, a small city, in a day. They had medical care, sleeper semis, a mess hall, equipment maintenance and command for over a thousand crew
It's the little things #chickensofbluesky #ruralsky #countrylife
Sourdough pumpernickel bagels made with dark rye flour, molasses and caraway seeds. The things I love but cannot get here in the mountains, I learn to make myself
Which one are you listening to? I'm partial to the original, but the best music us from Moon Over Morocco
Calfire public information officers have the patience of saints
Why are billionaires
This is me too
Those pieces are lovely. China painting was a popular indoor hobby for artistic ladies. My aunt, when she was young, learned from a group of older ladies who met up regularly for their painting circle. I still have all her painted pieces, blanks, paints and two kilns.
My heart is with all of you affected by the fires in LA and Southern CA. We live with wildland fire every summer here in the mountains but I'd never imagine you'd have to experience it in the city too. In January no less. All my compassion goes out to you.
Yay, Novid! How great to know that's still possible. We've had it once in my household and still feel lucky. I've seen repeated infections diminish a lot of people's health.
Agreed. I'm pro-vax for covid but these are completely legitimate concerns and they deserve to be heard and addressed.
Also the X-Files episode "Ice"
Kung pao made with home grown chicken and chiles dried from the garden. Leftover rice, fried up with eggs from our hens. Some eggrolls I bought from a lady a few dirt roads over who sells food out of her house. Who says you can't get Chinese "takeout" in the mountains? 🍽
Except the definitions in this list are very PG and entire diatribes have been written about 👍
Fuck drones. Expecting operators to abide by the rules is wholly dependent on people actually being responsible and having common sense. They are spotted with every major fire
An mRNA vaccine doesn't prevent illness and doesn't prevent the virus from mutating in its hosts. A neutralizing vaccine does. I'm not anti mRNA, I got several Pfizers. It just doesn't make sense to pursue an endless cycle of mRNA updates without actual neutralizing vaccines
