[iMessage conversation:] me: [image of Farmington School Board member Angie Smith doing gutter racism] me: This shit her: yeah that's what made me ask me: Oh huh me: Democratic primaries are generally going to be bigger deal on bsky I think me: Since they are all proxies for the main conflicts in the site me: There's like a core of smart leftists and smart libs who almost always agree on the better candidate (AES in this case), and then large numbers of idiots doing intra-party campism more or less

Photo of my right hand, holding some kind of metal pin (maybe the tip of a straightened paper clip), with a little ball of lint on the end. We are looking down, and in the background, we see a dirty linoleum floor.
From above now, we are looking down from a high floor. We see the three stopped trains, and in the corner, a small line of flame.p
We see the tracks again, but now most of the flames are gone. We see white burnt grass with some shrubs, blackened above them, and let’s smoke then before. On the right hand side of the image, the flames are a bit bigger, because that’s the direction it is spreading.
A small, secondary fire 50 yards downwind, near the bridge I’m standing on. You can see other observers looking over the edge of the bridge.
We’re looking over the wall now. The fire is mostly off to the left, and to the right we can see three trains stopped on the tracks because they can’t pass it safely.
Video looking over a wall, with some tall buildings behind it and dark smoke rising into the air, with a few flames visible above the wall. A few people are meandering around in the foreground, including a firefighter.

My self-summary I'm happiest when life is simple-taking care of my poultry, working toward my goals, and spending time with people who matter. I'm caring, loyal, and a bit old-fashioned when it comes to relationships. I appreciate honesty, consistency, and someone who can make me smile. Looking to meet someone real and see where a genuine connection leads

Peter• @notalawyer.bsky.social • 1h • Joined May '23 saying that MTG sacrificed her career for the cause is pretty rich considering the reality is she wanted to run for senate, trump said no, and she immediately turned heel on the right. [quoting] Post-Left Watch @postleftwa... • 6h • Joined Jul 23 MG is still a far-right racist conspiracy theorist, but Ryan Grim wants to give her endless praise. [screenshot-quoting from Twitter] Ryan Grim C @ryangrim MTG sacrificed her political career to stand against genocide, against Trump, against the Epstein Class, and to defend the survivors of Epstein's trafficking. If that doesn't earn credibility I don't know what possibly could. [quoting] Acyn • @Acyn • 19h AOC: I personally do not trust somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene—a proven bigot and anti-semite-on the issues of what is good for Gazans and Israelis. I don't think it benefits our movement to align with white nationalists.

During the twin’s psychiatric visits with Money, and as part of his research, Reimer and his twin brother were directed to inspect one another’s genitals and engage in behavior resembling sexual intercourse. Reimer claimed that much of Money’s treatment involved the forced reenactment of sexual positions and motions with his brother. In some exercises, the brothers rehearsed missionary positions with thrusting motions, which Money justified as the rehearsal of healthy childhood sexual exploration. In a _Rolling Stone_ interview, Reimer recalled that at least once, Money photographed those exercises. Money also made the brothers inspect one another’s pubic areas. Reimer stated that Money observed those exercises both alone and with as many as six colleagues. Reimer recounted anger and verbal abuse from Money if he or his brother resisted orders, in contrast to the calm and scientific demeanor Money presented to their parents.
Top third of a white man with short, dark-brown-but-graying hair, wearing red rimmed glasses, reclining on a bed. (Me.) Covering his mouth, nose, and most of his chest is a very fluffy black dog, pressing her ears into his face. He is grimacing.

View into two side-by-side shops with a wall in between. On the left is a very bright and neat women’s boutique. On the right is a dark, somewhat cluttered head shop. Among the merchandise there is freaking-out-high-out-of-his-aquatic-mind SpongeBob bong.
