you may never understand why we must leave the quiet ones alone Until you become one #brokenpoet
Imagine if we all got 12 minute standing ovations for doing our jobs.
That's the problem with clones. Generation loss of quality between subsequent copies or transcodes of data. π€‘
Blueskyism is when you just want to be happy with your friends instead of debating nazis in Hell.
Einstein once said that the only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once. Not sure how he'd explain how currently both everything and nothing is happening at simultaneously. π€
It's amazing that things can move too fast and too slow at the same time
Don't let him distract you from the fact that he died.
Eventually, I just left my cart in the line and went and grabbed the items I needed as I got to the appropriate aisle and brought them back to the cart.
I went to Costco today, the day after the last long weekend of Summer. π¬ Every aisle was jammed with people. I was the only one shopping. Everyone else was in the checkout line.
I tried one of those Bluesky skircle things.. Is it supposed to be blank?β¬οΈ π€
I looked at the actual survey summary and lol. seems like there might be another article to write here
I don't know who needs to hear this, but yes, you do deserve a bookshelf with a rolling ladder.
Me: They say that talking to yourself out loud means youβre smart. And itβs perfectly normal and isnβt weird at all. Me: I know, right?
Got some bubbly πΎ in the fridge just in case.
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. NΚkiβwah brother.
"So, are we going out this morning as planned?" It depends. I'm heading to the washroom first. I'll let you know.
Welcome to your 60s. Your body is now a vintage car. Every morning you have to check the fluids, hope nothing makes a new noise, and a long drive requires significant mental preparation.
She was right of course.
Quote is disabled on all of my posts as it was being misused by accounts that I don't follow and they don't follow me. They add nothing to the conversation. If there was an option to exclude just those accounts, I would use it. Alas, it's everyone or no one. π€·ββοΈ
When people quote post, but add nothing, not even an emoji. This is not conversation. π€·πΌββοΈ
Contemplation overload.
I've been advised that we have decided to go for a walk in the woods.
To help us relax, I decided to try playing some recorded sounds of forest birds and a babbling brook on the stereo. My wife suggested we could just go for a walk in the woods. π€
Right? Relationships are based on the original profile pics. New pics could change everything. Risky.
Stop changing your profile picture. Choose one and stick with it for 25 years like a normal person
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
The problem with my haircut is that it is on my head, specifically.
Visualizing your goals makes them easier to abandon.
try to be a better person I dunno that sounds like a lot of work
Just going to start claiming Iβve appeared in a Law&Order episode. Whoβs going to prove me wrong?
As two things we rely on for our immediate survival, itβs shocking how horrible humans treat air and water.
the seduction of quiet poems with hidden trip wires..

Really hoping that RFK, Jr. is serving as Donald Trumpβs personal physician.
you just know somebodyβs being called by their full name right now
βOver the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible β in the air itself.β Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
Apparently orange clown makeup doesn't cover hand bruises.
when you and your partner communicate through sighs thats morose code
live your life in such a way that millions of people donβt joyfully await your demise
I slept in this morning until my wife woke me up because she thought that I might have died.
We haven't seen him in days. Apparently a deterioration issue with the latest clone.
We are lead to believe that Long weekends are longer than regular weekends. This is pure illusion, as time simply speeds up so that the long weekend takes up the same amount of time as a regular weekend.
I was in Edmonton for a few days where it was 33Β°. Back in Calgary now where it's "only" 28. It's much too early for 7Β°.
We launch @meidascanada.ca on Labour Day. I spoke earlier this summer at the PanAmerican Congress in Mexico on fighting fascism. One of the key tools is building alternate networks of information. This is why I have teamed up with @meidastouch.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8JP...
Instead of writing a bs βletβs all get along letterβ to republicans, dem leadership should be talking about how Vance gave an interview where he basically says heβs waiting for Trump to die and hopes itβs soon. Make them fight.
Another day of mitochondrial challenges.
Good day sunshine. #Photography
After 4 days, my sister's cat decided that I could be tolerated long enough for a limited number of scritches. I have a way with animals.
This may be a real "ah shite" moment.....
I went to visit my sister for a few days. It was lovely. She has air conditioning.

JD has been the plan all along.
My friendβs 6 year old asked her if we had socks in the 1900s. Brutal. Itβs getting so brutal.

HIM: goddamn, you say the sweetest things ME: *puts away liner notes from Aerosmith* you really think so?
Adulthood feels exactly like when youβre going downstairs, and you don't expect there to be another step, but there is
In the last week I have gone bike riding multiple times, taken an out of town road trip, where I walked a lot each day, ate food that I shouldn't, and generally disrupted my daily required routine.. and survived relatively unscathed. Nice. π
"I will have to check with the inappropriate people."
Caught somewhere between coincidence and synchronicity.
In a state of Equilibrium. An unfamiliar in-between place where you're not exactly feeling strong or anywhere near pain free and 100% functional.. but you're also not in the usual spiral of debilitating symptoms and rapidly draining energy.. You cautiously test the boundaries.. π€
haha what if we just checked on each other to make sure everyone is ok without wanting something
Periods when we don't post anything gives the impression that we're busy out there enjoying life. It may not true, but why ruin the mystique.
how come so many things that aren't my fault are still my problem
Nothing could have prepared me for the joy of having the exact right size container for some leftovers
"I have heard your prayers about this latest tragedy and here's what I need you to do to help and protect people.." Whoa, whoa.. we prayed, we've done all that we can do.
You're right, this isn't the time to talk about it. It's time to f...ing do something about it.
rest up. tomorrow's another soul-sucking dystopian siege and you'll want to get an early start.
Yet another person has died "surrounded by his family' and people still ask me why I don't visit mine.
So, are we still talking about the economy as if that's the important thing right now? It will be shit soon enough. Focus on what is really being lost, if not stopped.
You can never refold the paper space-time map back the way it was. π
I see that you're still stuck at work on a beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, while your brain has already left for the weekend without you, and is sitting on a patio enjoying cold drinks.
there is nothing I hate more than a corporate circle jerk massive brand logo redesign to generic bullshit, away from what has worked forever. I made this "Hitler finds out about" video about this subject, back when that was a thing: youtu.be/dt9B9rLIyYo?...
True, the number of deaths as a result of reckless policies, actions and inactions, will be unacceptably high.. But let's be honest, as a society, it seems that we've chosen to appease a minority opposed to even the smallest inconvenience for the greater good. π
The world smoldering around them, they watch in denial from their golden towers as the final solarwind ship sails off to the stars.

Flight attendants work long hard hours, many of them unpaid, doing work that has lost the social cachet that was supposed to counterbalance the poor compensation. And we need to address the industryβs broken paradigm, which one strike and one arbitration cannot resolve.
"Back in the day" on Bluesky means last September.
'Back in the day' is an expression that we don't seem to hear as often as we used to back in the day. π€
The ashen look of people who have sold their soul. Like their boss without his orange makeup.

Wow. You all are posting a lot of subskeets about me.
Use caution when opening Monday. Mood may have shifted during the night.

The Parmesan person at the restaurant really just needs to stand there and reapply every time I take a bite.
Yes, I may occasionally come across as the old man yelling at clouds, but they know what they did.
How many times must I pretend to have a psychotic episode before the neighbors stop trying to make awkward small talk with me?
Me: how much for the musical earings? Store clerk: those are windchimes
Have you tried being born into generational wealth about it?
It's also possible that she's thinking of my brother. π€
I texted my mom once. I eventually had to go open all the unread text messages on her flip phone because she didn't know how texts worked. She's probably not seeing my Bluesky posts. π€
Before you block me know that my mom still thinks that I am delightful.
Reminder that Bluesky is owned by crypto bros, it won't save us. The plutocracy will eventually call in their favors at an opportune time. The manipulation we can't see is probably already underway. I like it here, but recognize that ultimately this won't be our best option. π«€
Sorry, canβt. Iβm typing out skeets to delete.
If only the truth was as feral as a lie.
Rant or rave, I wonder which will serve me better.
Welcome to middle age. Iβd tell you what to expect, but Iβm too tired and I have to pee.
