Facebook is where you realize, you don’t like the people you know.
Mastodon is where you start liking people, you have never met.

Me: [spouting off about DEI on a board call] blah blah blah
Benson: [jumping on top of me and lunging across the screen to eat the last bite of chicken salad]
Me: [going off camera but not mute] GOTdammit! That was my salad! Oof! Leave it! Stop! Down! GAH. Fine! Take it! You DOG!
I love him and hate him.
This is why I'm drinking a Black Manhattan right now.

U.S. destroys last of its declared chemical weapons — including a stockpile in Pueblo — closing a deadly chapter dating to World War I https://coloradosun.com/2023/07/08/pueblo-chemical-weapons-destoryed/?utm_content=buffera6f0e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=Mastodon&utm_campaign=buffer
There’s nothing quite so permanent as a “temporary” solution
(as I nervously think of the pile of ancient shell scripts traveling in loose formation that prop up chunks of my day job)
I think yeast is a fungus, so I guess you could consider it to be plant based? (I’m certainly not an authority on plants and fungi so I’d be interested to hear what folks think)
So sorry for your loss

The Supreme Court made up a fairy tale and used it to deny services to gay couples. What will the Supreme Court make up next? I don't know, but I know what the bigots will try to do next.

Me: Can I be denied landscaping services because I'm black? What if I want my hedges to look like chess pieces?
Gorsuch: Well, Should I be forced to give you a blue heffawoozle if my Aryant only allows for red gobknockles?
Me: What?
Gorsuch: Exactly, petition denied, darkie.
