Pat C wrote a good piece about Diana Arens, @dianaarens.bsky.social , who died suddenly a few days ago. Diana and I had been friends since we were teenagers — not in regular contact these days but still sending the occasional text. allcountingonyou.com/diana/

Eggs Saratoga with an English muffin at The Spar, in downtown Olympia. The Spar is still there but it’s a McMenamins now.

Absolutely every liberal minister is basing next Sunday’s sermon on this

People have “weekend cars”? What on earth are weekend cars? Casual cars? Denim cars? Leisure cars? Bootcut cars? Cars that sleep in?

I slept with a CPAP mask on for the first time last night and have felt mildly inflated all day.

I’ve been a fan of “Jesus Christ Superstar” since I was a kid, and got to see it on the big screen today at SIFFarama. Holy moly it’s good to really see the costumes, Judas’ expressions, the details. Go, if you get a chance; it’s in Seattle a few more days.

All right, now it’s personal

My reward for good clean living is that I have never used Slack. I am, however, very on-line, and my reward for _that_ is how fucking funny “Several People are Typing” by Calvin Kasulke is to me. I read it in two sittings, which is not something my brain often lets me do :dusty-stick:

I was told by fellow protesters today that there was only one trans athlete in the US, or 10, or 11. I understand the point they’re trying to make but a) no, there are plenty, and b) even if there were only ten trans athletes in the US, that doesn’t change anything.

I did not expect being made to cry by a book about the moon turning to cheese.

Post a warning

Mickey 17 passes the Bechdel Test.

When men say “of course male athletes have an advantage over female athletes, so we should ban trans girls and trans women from competing for the safety of my (hypothetical) daughters,” I presume they’re imagining males and females all sized like this. Including in elementary school.

This is the weirdest episode of Columbo I’ve seen, “Last Salute to the Commodore.” Columbo can’t stop touching everyone. There are long pauses between lines. Columbo is crouching, hiding, seems a tad high.

Yesssssss it’s Girl Scout cookie time and there were some youth in tan vests at the grocery store! I always support the older Girl Scouts if I can; they don’t get the “awww you’re so cute” sales the Daisies and Brownies do, and their activities are more expensive.

Took me so long to earn my red pin that USA Archery changed their logo in the meantime.

The NFAA are the real victims here 🙄 #archery mailchi.mp/nfaausa/nfaa...

A series of events has led to my having a teeny cup of decaf espresso on the bus and it is a surprisingly pleasant experience.

@denimclature.bsky.social Hey I recognize one of these signs!
