β οΈ EXCLUSIVE MAJOR BREAKING NEWS β οΈ: I updated my Twitter handle to @PierceMakes.
It's aspirational, a change expressing my hope that one day I can start using this dumb website for something that isn't screaming into the void. I'm an optimist, I guess.
@Ask_Spectrum Are there any updates on the massive outage affecting Dallas, Texas? Itβs been over 10 hours with absolutely no communication whatsoever.
@ldozeki@TSNCurling@CurlingCanada Are you serious? Curlers ARE athletes. Get out there and sweep some rocks and let me know how it goes. Also
@CurlingCanada has strict anti-doping policies enforced by regular drug testing. https://t.co/6PYdodoHAZ #STOH2024#STOH
Black people were allowed into the #StateFairOfTexas on ONE DAY. Its name? βNegro Achievement Dayβ. AND IT WAS A MONDAY. BECAUSE OF COURSE IT WAS. And you know what these incredible men and women did? THEY ENTERED IN A PARADE!!! my heart hurts and bursts at the same time.
The more I learn about the state fair of Texas, the more disgusted I am with my home state, the more furious and horrified I am by white people in general, and the more excited I am that progress is (way, way too slowly) being made. Words cannot describe my disgust and anger.
@noturtlesoup17 As a non-Jewish person who wants to learn and be better, can I ask what makes this so cringe? I understand that the menorah is for Hanukkah which makes it stupid out of the gate. But is there something more that makes it even worse? Asking with sincerity because I just donβt know
@MidnightWeasel@PhilipPullman Agreed. Agreed. I figured youβd read it but wanted to be sure. Everything sort of goes wrong in the end and it turns into one of the great Pyrrhic victories Iβve ever read.
Introducing our winners from this past weekend's U5 Bonspiel:
Event A Runners Up: Team Texas Heat (@DFWCurlingClub)
Event A Winners: Team Coyote Wild (@CoyotesCurling)

Did that poor woman interviewing Jake from @DuffyStringBand really not know his dad passed? βHeβs really putting a lot of trust in you!β My god I could crawl into a hole and hide #Mummersparade
Solid performance by @HegemanMummers, obviously a smaller band with more limited resources but they did great with what they had. And their captain is a boss! #Mummersparade
