I was told once that Mastodon is a friendly void that yells back. I really like that.

The world is a big place filled with terrible and wonderful things. I sometimes comment on them at length.

My most butch act in perhaps decades: I bought the correct can of coolant, found a how-to video on YT, then held the camera for my BIL while he watched the clip and charged the freon in my Fiat. Under the hood, baby! ๐Ÿ’…

@DemocracySpot that's how you know it's time for that kind of event.

I believe it has to be warm, with poor lighting even outside, and there are insects. Always.

mentallyalex,
@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@DemocracySpot see! Insects! I knew it. Cant have butch without insects in the south.

I hope you are now sitting under shade and remarking on the work that has been accomplished.

He's an alien that has stumbled onto a secret cache of 4LOKO's. Watch the adventure unfold as his brain slowly unravels and watch as he helps location police to ALSO slowly unravel!

This is why I'm shutting off my computer. People suck theme...

Them: do you approve <this>?

Me: what do you intend to do with <this>, what specifically are you seeking my alignment to do with <this>?

Them: it sounds like <this> is not ready to be approved, <this> is a problem now.

Me: what is the problem? What does my approval (or lack of approval) allow you to proceed with (or prevent you from achieving)?

Them: will you tell <others> to give you <what you need>?

Me: <they> know what I need, <this> is not <their> priority. If you tell me what is triggered or prevented by my alignment, perhaps we can come to an aligned understanding and a pathway forward.

Them: I put a meeting on your calendar for Monday. Have a good weekend.

Me: <I wanted you to shut up anyway if you can't tell me why you are asking me to approve this half-assed piece of <this>, what is intended, AND, I'm only less friendly and more pointed on Mondays, so good luck, BISH>
You have a good weekend, too

@Waitnwallflower I felt the acidic passive aggressive tone from here! Oof! That sucks and I hope the calendar meeting suddenly drops off with a summary email sent over explaining what they actually want.

@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

People ask me, Alex... what does your day look like? What adventures and grand escapes are you undertaking.

When they ask those questions I scoff. First starters... who talks like that? Seriously. Grand escapes? I need to make up more believable people.

Secondly, licks peanut butter spoon I'm just like you.

Itโ€™s drizzly but otherwise nice today, which makes it a fine time to peruse a stack of new books and ARCs that have come to the Scalzi Compound. Which of these books are particularly catching your eye today?

@scalzi LINCOLN'S DREAMS - CONNIE WILLIS

The color play on the spine is interesting and draws my eye.

mentallyalex,

@GrimmReality I'll contribute.

@tayfonay I would never recommend or approve such violence. Please remember that your knee is a solid choice and the closer proximity makes it harder to identify what actually happened in court. Flowing outfits with reflective surfaces like hoodies work to distract the traffic cameras. :blobcatsip:

I sometimes feel like I am able to spin a nice story or line.

Then I look at my replies and comments and wonder why you put up with me.

Thanks! Ya'll are awesome.

@Elizabeth3 thank you so much!

I often worry I sometimes post too frequently or "all over the place" but that is kind of an accurate representation of me and my interests so... :blobcatlaugh:

We'll be random together! :blobcatlaugh:

@riversidebryan :blobcatmelt3: thank you so much Bryan!

I hope your day has gone wonderfully? I have had a relatively gorgeous and bright and sunny day over here. The mountains would dance if we allowed them the opportunity.

mentallyalex,
@mentallyalex@beige.party avatar

@riversidebryan The idea of you sleeping in never once entered my mind. For some reason in my mind you are an early riser who greets the day looking back over your shoulder wondering what took it so long! :blobcatgiggle:

I'll be honest, I cannot imagine 31miles of distance traveled by anything short of car/truck/motorcycle/go-carts/horseback/Alex sitting down and demanding to be carried or shot. I understand the draw, I just find myself lacking it.

A lazy thunderstorm... now THAT is an Alex mood. :blobcatlaugh: Watching the world drift by while the rains keep you.

What I love most about Social Media is how someone will pop up and go "Hey, gonna take a break from Social Media for a while" and we all cheer for them, imagining them with their head out the window of the car of Life, tongue flapping in the breeze, head back inhaling living.

Everyone has a gender neutral bathroom in their home .. possibly several of them. Make sure to use this fact against transphobic assholes.

@Jackiemauro
As far as I can tell, it's.. somehow... not manly? I think?

To be honest, if I think about it a moment I imagine it has something to do with the "winner/loser" mentality... right? We like to jostle for position and the literal spot in which we are allowed to expose our penis but in a non-sexually implied way? hmm...

The conference Iโ€™m headed to today is mailing some attendees a bottle of Old Bay Seasoning becauseโ€ฆ DC is next to Maryland? In case you wanted to know how insufferable these people are. Or they all have crabs. Lord knows some of them are hooking up this weekend.

@CoachMark
I went "Cherry Blossom" something too, Mark. But I'm stuck on what.

For me, DC has always been... parks, billions of tourist, late night windy bars in the sky, people doing their best "busy business person" impressions after work, amazing restaurants and so much art and theaters.

That is such a weird thing to smash into a representative gift...

If you think too highly of yourself, people will check your ego. If you think too little of yourself, people will check your self-deprication. The secret is to think just enough of yourself so people will leave you alone.
