Working on my sandwich game. This is basically jalapeno hummus with lettuce and tomato on toasted sourdough

Pedestrian seriously injured when a driver runs an SUV into a bank at this intersection. I lived half a mile from here.

Arlington County, VA (which i'm feeling super-validated to have left) reconstructed this "street" a few years ago, and... yeah. https://www.arlnow.com/2024/01/05/acpd-charges-pending-against-driver-who-struck-pedestrian-and-slammed-into-bank/

say NO to 2024! no more years! #EndDates

• every year is worse than the last
• "being on time" is neuronormative and ableist
• date/time math is inconsistent and annoying
• "number goes up" is unsustainable
• "see you in a bit" is just fine
• nobody ever knows what day it is so let's just stop pretending
• buses don't run on "time", they show up when you light a cigarette
• deadlines were invented by capitalists
• global south forced to winter during summer
• time is an illusion and calendar isn't real - we made it up!

we can do better!

APBBlue, 5 months ago to tea

This morning's agenda: Hang out and drink #tea for a bit. Then go buy the most durable #bike tires I can find. (My route to pottery class goes by a bunch of cut-rate auto shops, so the road is undoubtedly full of glass and metal.) #BikeTooter

APBBlue, 5 months ago to transit

Maybe consider whether you'll sound like an asshole before you shame someone because it took two hours to change their own #bike inner tube (for the very first time, nonetheless.) #BikeDC #BikeTooter

It will never not blow my mind that you can use chickpea juice as a substitute for egg whites

Okay so now that I'm breaking open my full 20GB archive:

Tweets I made by the end ("the end" is "April 26, 2022"): 504,400

Tweets I made if you remove RTs and replies to other people: 296,729

People I blocked: 200,500

I'm sincerely proud of my accomplishment, on that last count. Roughly speaking, for every 3 unique tweets I made, I blocked two people. By the end the Twitter page that is supposed to show you your blocks would just crash when I opened it, and I guess this is why.

So let me get this straight. Clarence Thomas, who has enormous political power, is unable to live within his means. He complains about this, and suddenly he has a bunch of new dear, dear friends who happen to be fantastically wealthy.

Do you struggle with fitted sheets?

Get ‘em on the bed the right way the first time, every time:

When facing the bed, the fitted pocket with the tag in it goes on the right corner closest to you — the bottom right, at the foot of the bed.

It’s that easy. You’re welcome!
