@HikerSelma I have more photos and footage of Devil's Garden than probably anywhere else in America.
I did a lot of testing there. Panoramas, time lapses, star trails... etc. It's the perfect place for Night Photography.
I went there almost every night last year. It's easy to get to and navigate in the dark.
Did you know I have a newsletter? It's not a very good one, but it's mine! The latest version is hot off the presses: https://mailchi.mp/f86e094944e3/newsletter-fiasco-putting-the-fiasco-in-fiasco-wait-lets-try-this-again?e=9e0f274a45
Usually I have more to say but not this week. You get what you pay for.
Also, I was made to feel like my manager needed to discuss my performance as of late.
“Hooman! When you come to bed? Need to snuggle!” #CatsOfMastodon
Sophie is a very snuggly cat; she likes to curl up under the duvet. And then, when she overheats, curling up next to me on top of the duvet.
Naturally, Bella likes to get scritches when I go to bed. And so as Sophie is going under the duvet…. Bella is trying to walk over the duvet & get cuddles as well 🤦♂️
This 14 yo granny dog walked 15 miles over 3 days, and is still eager to get out more! Can’t believe she’s doing so good. I love her so much
Oh shit.
The only way they can win is to cheat.
"The
#NorthCarolina Supreme Court has overturned its own past ruling that said partisan #gerrymandering is illegal, clearing the way for #Republicans there to redraw the state’s congressional lines in a way that heavily favors the GOP.
This sets up a process that allows national Republicans to expand their majority in the #House of Representatives by as many as four seats." https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/28/north-carolina-supreme-court-clears-way-for-partisan-gerrymandering-00094433
I'm thinking about setting up an online D&D game. (A second one, in addition to my inperson game.) I was talking to my partner about it, and she asked me:
"Would I be able to join this game?"
To which I replied:
"Part of me wants to say yes... but the rest of me wants to say no because I CAN'T TALK TO YOU ABOUT STORY STUFF FOR OURS! I want to practice villainous speeches but I can't because you're right here! I cant talk about story arcs or how I'm going to give you ~~emotional damage~~ awesome story points because you're in the game!"
Perils of being the DM, man. Perils of being the DM.
Attention people of the federated universe. I must shower you all in the cuteness of our kitten Sunny.
All things considered, I am in an outstanding rare mood this evening. Thank you, all of you wonderful #Mastodonians! Have a great weekend! #TheGoodPlace #Mastodon #Friday
Do I even want to be in an industry where this can happen?
"In May 2020, the US Department of Justice noticed Russian hackers in its network but did not realize the significance of what it had found for six months."

On my old Twitter account I used to spend a lot of time carefully curating politics/news links and RTs and on here I don't post about politics at all, part because the vibe here is calmer and I don't wanna disrupt it but part because it was exhausting.
This said there IS a constant escalating week by week eliminationist war on trans people in the US with basically zero pushback from liberal entities/politicians so if you're cis please go like… read news yourself… until you are informed. Thanks
@NerdRage42 @Nordstahl Good for you! Sending you courage and hugs.
I saw a wankpanzer with a bumpersticker today that read: “Do you regret your 2020 vote yet?”
No. The answer is no.
Inflation is going down. Stocks are on the rise. Republicans are showing their true fascist colors with anti-abortion laws and silly fights with cartoon characters. And their top candidate has been indicted once, with more on the way.
I’ll never vote Republican again. The end.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
