ADHD/GENX dad/historian/museum guy If you are new - I post mostly politics & KPop and support BTS, AleXa, 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️, and people being good to each other I am a museum curator but my posts are my own and don't represent my workplace
And just in case it was tied to AI connecting to... well... everything... and the algorithm picking things for reasons...
Benefits of researching the past... getting to see that what is old is new again. Stop shooting yourself in the leg when your candidate isn't the primary winner. I know I haven't always gotten to vote for my favorite candidate, but I still voted.
Everyone on the right losing their minds about the Bad Bunny halftime show... Just wait... Next year will be in Korean! Welcome back BTS! Borahae! 💜
Regarding the un-lifing of a guy in Utah on 9/10/25: I share a lot of the feelings expressed by the author of the post in the image (claimed on one site to have been written by a currently-serving USAF senior NCO). I have seen people celebrate the deceased as a hero or modern-day prophet. 1/10
Sooo... we have now gone back *A YEAR* in 2 months and appear to be going further in the near future... I'm a historian and not an economist but... not sure this is how it is supposed to be.
If you don't see the establishment of a precedent, you need to look closer. Just wait. A native-born U.S. citizen will be removed to a foreign country or sent to a "detention facility" within the U.S. People voted for this. Because the other person wasn't *checks notes* "The Right Candidate."
This view from @techconnectify.bsky.social hits really hard for those of us who do history.
Is this bad? This looks bad... *Narrator* It was bad.
Not sure 'bout you... I think that may be a bad response...
- IMLS supports the Museums for All program, greatly defraying the admission cost for SNAP benefit recipients. Here is a list of some states I have ties to and the monies they received as grants from IMLS in 2024. This information is all available through the IMLS dashboard. 9/10
You know you are a nerd when you have an #excel file named "Stupid Excel Tricks"... and as a Historian, no less! Just added a new tab that recalculates #subtitle timing for dropping subs into a video wherever you want. #ADHD really is a love/hate relationship with yourself. #videoediting
Anybody who talks about how "you never have to use math again when you're out of school" really pisses me off. I've got two history degrees and I work in a museum. I use math all the time. Need 12 photos of different widths on a 47' wall and have them look nice? Math.
1912 - 6,000 Measles deaths/year 1963 - 400-500 deaths - vaccine first made available to the public. This vaccine was improved over 5 years. We use the version completed in 1968. 2000 - Measles declared eradicated in the U.S. And here we are. A dead kid in Texas. Link in Alt Text 2/2
Proof we are on the worst time line. Although some of us started to see the signs in early February, we had no idea and everyone did too little, too late. Our trip to Dallas never happened and #Ticketmaster held onto our money for most of two years. Wankers... (TM, that is) OT7 in 2025!
Thought I would update my skircle... Mostly politics and BTS... No surprise here... Inner Circle: @angrystaffer.bsky.social @russincheshire.bsky.social @krystara.bsky.social @arkhangel79.bsky.social @artcandee.bsky.social @seokjinzero.bsky.social @asaltyredhead.bsky.social @kendrawrites.com
Earlier this year - we bought a new-to-us Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. I added this on the back (knowing Army are in the area). This AM, I saw someone in traffic gawking at the sticker. Obviously Asian, they were excited to see the Hangul. Next glance - they were taking a pic 💜 🫰 Glad to give them joy!
Yeah... I think I stan BTS. Here is my Spotify Wrapped... open.spotify.com/wrapped/shar...
I will leave you here with my final post of the night. I stand by these words today. "Now, be yourself, love yourself, and love those around you. And, for Bangtan's sake, let people stan who and how they will. I have seen too much anger across and within fandoms." Borahae! 💜 12/12
This is all after the show and mostly back at the hotel that night. The girl is now a young man and we love him to death. Even though he no longer follows a lot of K-Pop. We no longer stan #BigBang. But we appreciate their work and history - "Fantastic Baby" is still in my top 4-5 videos. 10/12
What a Twist! Bored Dad gets into it! Yay for Bored Dad! Followed by a dad joke from Joonie... Followed by me crying... again... I think I would have been crying even without my ADHD-caused emotional dysregulation. 9/12
I felt sooo sorry for this dad. You know he came because he felt like he had to. He had to come to this stupid boy band concert and drop $100 on a ticket for HIMSELF after paying for his girl(s). There is a plot twist coming tho... 8/12
This first was in response to a couple Qs about our journey with BTS and how I ended up there. Also - Take it from an older guy who played music professionally and has fired guns WAY too much without plugs in - WEAR EARPLUGS TO A BTS CONCERT!!! Tinnitus is no joke. 7/12
So, yeah, some people saw the post. The current analytics show 356,000 pairs of eyes... nearly 12K 💜 and 5k shares. Within a week, my follower count went from low hundreds to 1,500+ I think. My lack of wall-to-wall BTS content later killed that. And, as you may see on my account - politics. 5/12
This started it all that evening. Yes. I know. it's cringe. It was cringe then and it still is. But they killed me. I'm dead now. You are reading the post of a ghost. So, a large fan account saw this post. And they shared it. And those people shared it. And then THOSE people shared it. 4/12
Did this at blueskyroast.com... Not sure if I truly feel "roasted"...
Waiting for #Arsenal memes to get over here...
Here are some pup pics for you all to "d'awwww..." over.
