boats in harbors, pah. what's next, i ask you, birds up in trees?!

ridiculous behavior really

weirdly excellent word, rancid

my parents' theory was that i wouldn't read something if i couldn't and set me loose

perhaps they were thinking more about dense novels than trashy smut... except i've just remembered my mom letting me read 'clan of the cave bear' saying only 'this probably isn't age appropriate for you, we'll see'

sometimes i'll yell 'FACILITATED COMMUNICATION!' just to hear you swear for a bit, it'll be so great

a traumatic birth scene in a danielle steele that kid me had no business reading messed me up for years

oh hell yeah

yes please i am CERTAIN your accent would sound fucking awesome in my house, perhaps saying things such as 'this is delicious, mush, you're a genius' and 'hand me the remote, it's my turn to pick the movie!' and 'i've read this ignorant infuriating paper and must go in the yard and throw some rocks'

spaghetti, vodka sauce, no-meatballs, a green giant mixed veggie side, a salad with tahini dressing, & garlic bread on a big plate on the arm of a couch

got my ass sat on the couch in front of the telly with this big ass plate of yummy food to eat for my rather late #dinner 🍜

it should, but also we can't even manage decent fucking trains

christ they're just SO cool looking with that colorway!

i coveted the matchmatic but never did win an auction for one, they were more than twice what the regular bricks were going for and i was too cheap

dang, all those lenses!

would you post a pic of your new argus? i love them so much! (so much that at one point i actually had three, they're so sciencey looking)

i'm thinking the same! one roll through each of the 35mms i actually use (i may have more in stored in the closet, but it's been so long i no longer remember what i still have lol): the beloved yashica my dad fixed for me last year, an argus brick, and a minolta maxxum

I DON'T KNOW!!!

the yashica electro gsn, perhaps?

what camera are you thinking?

trap on a recliner with the three rolls of film that arrived today

omg! kikipan! it's here! already! obligatory kikipan with black cat proof pic!

with so many thanks to the extra spectacular @zdp189.bsky.social, who arranged all this for us

#believeinfilm #ishootfilm

i doubt there are many things more auspicious than feeding your wedding artichoke to a famous and revered tortoise

ah, i notice the date now

well, then: BOOBS!

you do imply them in your description, but perhaps too subtly; i believe our alt-txt dependent friends deserve to know when There Are Art Boobs in a photo, and this tasteful photo very much has Art Boobs

[i hope 'boobs' doesn't somehow get this poast labeled or filtered weird, does that happen]

'it's back up, i'll just leave this replacement cable on the floor temporarily and come back and pull it properly at midnight sometime to minimize user impact' is something i said repeatedly when i was an ISP sysadmin

the latter half was rarely true and often shit just got ziptied where it lay lol

your chance to buy it for what it's worth rather than the 30 percent inflation/tariffs/fuel surcharge/corporate gouging price we're enjoying so much here at the collapse of the nation!

as all engineers eventually learn THERE'S NOTHING MORE PERMANENT THAN A TEMPORARY SOLUTION which is why the plaque is still there, the old tires will never stop holding down the wellhead cover, and the dryer vent features rubber bands and an old sock rather than proper fixtures lol

can go right next to the plaque probably an aunt gave me that says 'today i wish you a day of ordinary miracles' that when we moved in YEARS AGO i hung since there was already a nail handy and i wanted it in sight so i'd remember to toss it but it matched and there was nothing else to hang there, so

lol it's not my name any more and i've matured into a, shall we say, less street signy sense of decor, but i'd still hang the SHIT out of one, like in a hallway maybe, or it might be perfect on the shed!

once found an "S MORGAN" street and i wanted that sign so bad; asked various likely people to get it for me but nobody ever did and i was too short and chicken to steal it myself

(my childhood nickname started with an s and i hadn't been married yet, so that was my real actual name at the time!)

read earlier today that 40 universities and colleges have already been hit; awful

i despise this venal admin, nakedly profiting off suffering with nepo contracts, betting, gross market manipulation

(i realize the governing class has ever been so, but this evil is worse, so ignorant, so tacky)

the cat nearly hurled lol

cool, thanks! never heard that term before, i don't think

there but for the grace, really

we are ultimately all in this together, no matter how much we think we're discrete individuals with agency, we're just depending on luck, and more kindness means more of all types of health for everyone

plus a lot of brain chemistry is environment

a divorce, then job loss, harassment by collections, a broken tooth, a friend's death, isolation & no way to vent rage and pain: voila! you're totally fucking bonkers; meanwhile the luckier, other timeline you never has a single mental health blip at all
