Y’all, this app is helpful to those experiencing air quality warnings, who need to do something outside, to help choose when to do it. AQI by the hour, with a map of the local sensors. Reminder that masks protect against those fine particles, so it can also help you decide if you need to wear one.
In case you wondered who’s setting the Gay Agenda: it’s Baphometbear.
See that little white spot on my shoulder? Every time I work out, as I flush, it becomes more visible. It’s the scar from my polio inoculation.
These are the kinds of messages B gets while I’m upstairs working out.
I actually want some Meta glasses, but only to allow me to show everyone how cute this guy is when I brush his teeth.

Oscar adores his trans big sister and his enby mama! Amd all ofnour trans siblings.
Reading this, and struck with the idea: what if (stay with me here) instead of using the incredible processing ability today’s data centers provide to create an oppressive surveillance infrastructure, we instead used it to fine-tune weather prediction and prevent the loss of countless lives?
Y’all, I commissioned a portrait of our little Oscar (whom we both adore) from @placecalledbliss.bsky.social as a gift , and it came today. B loves it!
I just got two male guppies today. They’re clearly buds—had been the only fish im a tank full of snails. Couldn’t think what to name them. Then the 💡 over my head: Bill and Ted.
Here are photos of the recipe from the cookbook. My apologies to anyone using an e-reader for not typing out the recipe in alt-text. I don’t have the time or the spoons.
I wore my pon around town on errands today, so yes, I am.
