Oh shit oh shit rock emergency and yes I do have my rocks. This handful is from Tennessee Valley Beach. The whole tiny beach is covered in colorful tiny rocks. I do not know what kind.

My hand holding an assortment of tiny beach pebbles in shades of rust and blue and mustard yellow.

The Honorable Mitch McConnell
United State Senate
317 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Senator McConnell:
Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the current state of your health and wellbeing, and ability to hold office in the United States Senate.
As Governor, I request that you fully update Kentuckians regarding the current status of
your health.
As public officeholders, we have made a commitment to our constituents to do our best to represent them and to always be transparent. I believe this requires clear communication ability to serve.
We wish you a safe and speedy recovery.

One thing I hate about NOAA and other government weather-related offices being stripped of funding is that I’m sitting here listening to it rain in SF in July and my weather app is like “nope. Nothing to see here”

What’s great about following the World Cup via your skeets is I still have no idea who is rooting for who but I am excited for everyone nonetheless (I hear it’s England vs Mexico and I feel obliged not to root for England)

Heads up for SF and Marin for tomorrow. They don’t normally close the Golden Gate bridge for the fireworks show but iirc they moved the show closer to Crissy Field this year probably so they’d have more fog to fire them into.

ALERTSF: Travel advisory: The Golden Gate Bridge will close to all traffic July 4 from 9-10 PM for the Fourth of July fireworks. Lane closures begin at 8pm.
Expect heavy traffic throughout the day and evening. Plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and consider public transit. sf.gov/july4

It doesn't work well, it's doing real harm, and you've opted out on principle.
You're not a technophobe - you just think this specific technology is overhyped and corrosive, and you're tired of being told you just don't understand it. You understand it fine.
That's the problem.

Ok so I have no idea why this image is in my phone. Was it from an old cookbook of my mom’s? Was it a random image of friend sent to me because they thought I’d get a laugh out of it? Who knows but it feels relevant to your taste buds.

Allow me to introduce you to my nightmare building, the Rainier Tower in Seattle. Apparently built for twisting in case of an earthquake in a subduction zone and still this does not comfort me.

A standard looking modern high rise building that is sitting atop a narrow curved pedestal. It looks like it shouldn’t exist.

Jesus Christ Squarespace why would you of all platforms offer this? Like I am not a lawyer or a CPA but I do work on small businesses in California and LLCs here have some actual standards they have to meet!

List on the backend of square spaces, menu offerings and at the bottom it says “start your LLC”

My calendar reminder:

Instagram getting real suggestive that I must like ads. Like ads? No? How about more ads? Or ads?

Instagrams suggested feature tags is suggesting that I would like the following undefined ad. In one, a white brunette woman looks at the screen and tucks her hair behind her ears

Ok Apple TV? We need to talk about how you market anything. Like how is “new season July 3” the smallest text here? This is how I almost missed season 2 of Hijack Anyway, new season of Silo coming in a month, apparently.

A promo still for an Apple TV show called silo. The words “new season July 3” are in the smallest font in the image.

Test post

From Marisa Kabas’ reporting
• thehandbasket.co
Doremus Avenue is a two and half mile stretch in Newark, New Jersey that parallels the Passaic River and Newark Bay. It's somewhere you're unlikely to venture unless you have a specific reason, making it an ideal spot to illegally detain and torture immigrants. Standing outside Delaney Hall you'd never know you were just a stone's throw from New York City, a place in perpetual motion and proudly populated by millions of immigrants.
On Wednesday protesters stood for hours in a line that had been pushed into moving traffic on Doremus while facing
ICE agents similarly lined up on the sidewalk. They shouted protest chants and cheered when giant trucks rolled by and honked in support. One driver even yelled out his window "FUCK ICE!"
They'd heard about what had happened in Broadview, Dilley, Minneapolis and other towns, and it had finally landed in their own backyard.

Inside Delaney hall, some 300 people began a hunger and labor strike one week ago in protest of unpaid labor, putrid food, lack of medical care and unjust detention. Supporters have held strong outside ever since, attempting to block vehicles from leaving with detainees and handing out snacks, water and personal protective equipment to shield them from chemical irritants used by ICE. Some are there simply bearing witness.
Shadows of bodies in darkened windows and phone calls are the only signs of life inside, with visitation shut down last weekend. The supporters have been a combination of family of loved ones participating in the strike—like Gabriela Soto, wife of detainee Martin Soto—community organizers, elected officials and regular local folks who’ve seen this story play out in other towns and are committed to stopping it here.

Like having real photos that are taken inexpertly for a lunch place is fine. Better, even. I want to know what I’m in for. I mean, look at this. I took this at Turtle Tower two months ago with my iPhone and all it is doing is making me want to go back to Turtle Tower.

I sent this to almost everyone I know

How it feels when I'm telling a story about something that happened in my 20's and some grown ass person next to me says,
"Oh, that's the year I was born."
Followed by a black cat dressed in a nightcap and nightgown and saying
“I'm wearing pantaloons.”

I need many dissertations on why tech UX/UI is so hostile now. Because why are the notifications for the new Instagram instants like this? And this is with my Instants notifications 🔔 settings turned OFF

My Instagram DM‘s with names blocked out. Off to the right hand side are some random unaligned images acting as notifications.
