The URL has been officially x'ed, so I'm at long last saying bye-bye birdy. I finally activated my Threads account, plus I have Bluesky, Mastodon, and Hive (and an Instagram I never use), so I'll see you around somewhere.

@pirateherojones SO MUCH THIS. 😩

I can understand a cashier having a bad day and being a little snippy and rude with customers.

But twice? Weeks apart? Girl, since you clearly resent your job, I have kindly informed corporate of your desire to not have it any longer. #KareningForGood

I love when I when a solitaire tourney with a score this low. It's like the game is saying, "Yay! You bailed water the most efficiently before jumping off the sinking ship... go you!"

@popelizbet @mis_cue Hmm... the UK basketball fans would think it a statement made by Arkansas fans about a certain coach and then even more mayhem ensues.

@Karnythia The sense of belonging that comes with being a member of a church goes away pretty fast when they tell you that you're not welcome if you don't think and behave exactly as they want you to do.

@campyWHY Between the solar eclipse and the aurora borealis, I've made a nice dent on the "things I'd like to see in-person" list this year despite the general suckitude of the year overall.

(It's not a large list.)

@campyWHY It was on my list, too! I went outside expecting to be disappointed, but when I realized that some light patches I was seeing weren't clouds reflecting the moon, I pulled out the camera.

I thought it was city lights giving a faint pink hue to the sky before taking the photo!

@campyWHY Aw...

"But if you'd gone through the local hospital you'd have been seen already"

Seen, sure, but would I have a diagnosis or treatment I could trust?

Called the university hospital neurology dept again today to find out why it had been nearly six months since my referral and I still hadn't been contacted for an appointment.

Got told I'd be called for an appointment "in a week or so" so that's an improvement 🙃

@pirateherojones This is me with Outlander right now. I'm not hugely invested in the show but the sweet little grey kitty Adso and the wolf-dog Rollo better BOTH stay alive...

@AngryBlackLady @PortiaNoir I have no junk in my trunk so I've never even attempted to twerk, so bless you for trying 😆

This week, YouGov is asking "man or bear" to all its participants and as long as they break responses down by respondents' identified gender, this should be interesting...

The frequency and severity of errors in an electronic or mechanical device is inversely proportional to the distance of said device from an individual qualified to diagnose and repair it.

See: All the times I go to fix one of my parents' devices only to find it works perfectly.

@pirateherojones Like Stray, it's going to be one of my rare launch day purchases.

And I have zero regrets on this purchase, too:
