Seems like that venn diagram might be a circle

Hi.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

That's awesome.

into the lives of others, and maybe some meaningful connecction. Instagram is the same.

Don't get me wrong, I am incredibly angry about the state of the world. But that can't be my SOLE focus. 2/2

Been struggling with social media as a whole for a while. I've finally come to the conclusion that spending less (-to no) time on FB is good for my health. Spending time here is inserting myself directly into the outrage machine. Spending time on Threads means I get to at least have a window 1/2

Family includes everyone! ❤️

Oh no 😞 poor pupper!

Candy eyeballs from Fred Meyer (one of our branches of Kroger)!

- 8c fresh snow. I won’t judge if you keep the twigs and rocks in it, you do you.
- 1c heavy cream (whole milk works great, I haven’t tested others)
- 1/3c sugar
- splash of vanilla (measure with your heart)
- pinch of sea salt

Whisk everything but the snow together. Fold in the snow. Enjoy.

@themaskednebraskan.bsky.social this morning’s snow ice cream.

My 13yo has been upset for two straight years at the lack of snow here (more due to the lack of snow ice cream), so after I shoveled the driveway, I went and harvested 8 cups of fresh snow for snow cream. Recipe follows.

I like Fulcrum’s Silver Cup brand and order it regularly.

same here. I lost a LOT with that concussion 6y ago, but most of it was media I’d consumed, mostly books and movies/TV. Now I get to experience them again, I guess.

New song “Horses” out today, new album late next month. Found him due to a couple nature songs that popped up, one called “Turtles.”

@jasmetana.bsky.social no idea if he’s on here but check out @wellesmusic on insta/Jesse Welles. Like if Dan Bern was slowed down and a little more solo folky.

Did I somehow never tell you when this happened? Also, epic butt crack moment for sure.

Once out of earshot, Coppola turns to A and says something like, "Thank you, by the way, I'm Francis Ford Coppola. But couldn't you have said uncle or brother or something?"

And that's how I met Francis Ford Coppola at a Metallica concert. 7/end

A had extensive theatre training and leapt into action. "No, that's my DAD. He gets that ALL THE TIME." she puts her arm around him and we keep walking.

Hellfire and Damnation Guy is left there sputtering. "But... but... Francis Ford Coppola..." 6/

I stretch or crack my neck or whatever and yeah, that's him. He was with some other dude I didn't recognize. Right about then, Hellfire and Damnation Guy is like, "YOU'RE ALL GONNA BURN IN HELL, CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY NOW OR---hey, is that FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA?" 5/

a guy with a sign yelling about hellfire, damnation and satanism. You know, as tended to happen outside of metal shows. Maybe it still does.
R says through her teeth, "Francis Ford Coppola is behind us." 4/

For the purposes of this: the coworker with tickets is R, the one we attended with is A.
A&I got on BART, picked up R and walked to the venue from R's house. Outside it's a typical late-90s scene - lines snaking around the building, 3/

I had a coworker who had ticket connections. She was supposed to go to the show with a guy she liked and his buddy. The guy she liked sort of ghosted her (the way 1999 ghosting worked) and so she invited me and another coworker. 2/

Gonna be reposting some of my little life story things here, because they were enjoyable to write, enjoyable for me to read, and sparked some interesting conversation.

- the time I met Francis Ford Coppola -

Remember when Metallica & SF Symphony did a couple concerts (& recording) called S&M? 1/

Let’s all go and buy wood eggs and paint those. Then reuse them next year. And the year after that.

Not me opening up this box of labels and snickering like the 12yo I secretly am.

School district sent out an email about what would happen if ICE tries to raid our school. I appreciate the actions but WHAT THE FUCK MAN.

13 has been bullying me about my hair for almost five hours now. Rude.
