Alex Pretti's street memorial with flowers, ribbons, stethoscope and a post with numerous "I Voted" stickers placed on it

Oof 😢
I've seen other photos from that corner this morning, the number of stickers is growing fast

still from Raiders of the Lost Ark showing Indiana Jones and a nazi soldier on top of a troop transport. Jones is wearing his trademark hat and jacket, and is looking down at the soldier, his face concentrating in anger, as he pulls back his right fist ready to punch the nazi in the face.

left to right, top to bottom:
a black cat stands next to an aged wooden shed
a grey and white cat sits on an apartment building's steps, peeking out between pumpkins
a black cat puts its paw on the photographer's leg, attempting to climb up

some weirdos i have met, including a black cat who literally climbed onto my lap a few days before halloween (what a blessing!)

A circular color illustration of a trumpet with magnolias and Mardi Gras beads coming out of the end. The background color is teal. The bottom reads, in blue block letters, I VOTED.

Louisiana's stickers are a lot better than Ohio's. #ivoted (in Ohio, to be clear)

I get jealous at other folks' voting stickers, the ones in MN are lame
@wjcstp As are the ones in Western New York. 😞
My county had an art competition for their sticker earlier this year. Instead of restricting it to school children or to local residents or just to humans, they left it wide-open and it was completely overrun with AI slop chum and I'm about 80% certain the winning design is also slop.
Should we use #ivoted again? https://mltshp.com/tag/ivoted
@wjcstp I think @Davezilla is currently winning the cool voting sticker sweepstakes: https://mltshp.com/p/1RXVZ
Agree with @wjcstp Minnesota is the bestest in so many things, but I Voted stickers are not one of them.

closeup of an insulated coffee thermos, standing in front of a larger insulated water bottle. both are covered with stickers. both seem to have the same "i voted" sticker, which features a fuzzy bipedal creature with one large red eye over the word "voted"
woke up early enough to vote on my way to work (instead of my usual MO of voting at the end of the work day). it was nice to float through with no wait.
once again, this chaos agent "i voted" sticker appeared at my polling place:

Was surprised at how easy it was to run solar lighting into it.

Two middle aged white ladies yapping on a split screen.
I have a podcast called Deconstruction Workers where I basically ask people about leaving religion and Jane agreed to be on it! She's a gem and has a new memoir called TMI where she talks about religious trauma. Ep should be up tomorrow?

Oh like Joan of Arc would give up her religion
That is A-MA-ZING
@snarkout we talked about Joan of Arc for a second!
@waa she's so sweeeeet
I've enjoyed her online. Also I got a fake Jane kicked off of facebook.
Did you tell her she's my favorite Go-Go?
@drurystephanie "she's so sweeeeet"
Joan of Arc..?
😜
Congrats on the conversation with Jane. She's a gem. Can't wait to hear it.

Do you recognise this feeling?
It sprang from a remark a woman I am soon about to meet for the first time made. We matched on an app a month or so ago. This is something she said in one of our video calls. (And she'll be coming over from Toronto to Amsterdam next weekend, so we can meet)

I do not.
I hope your meeting in meatspace is incredible.

Definitely. Mostly when I see old pics or read about smoking in books.
At least once a month, I have to remind myself of all the reasons why I'll never touch a cigarette again. Hopefully.

I haven't smoked in almost 27 years (New Year's Eve 1999!), but whenever I see someone light up on screen, I kinda miss it. Then I remember the stench, the expense, the bronchitis, the . . .
@jasperzelf @Lockjaw I have smoked three cigarettes in the last six years. They were quite wonderful. But I’m so done with it that I can resist the calll.
@ba I’ll try to give an update from meat space! Thx!

Never smoked, aside from trying once or twice.
Coffee, though. I would re-enact my passion for that if I could. I don't think any substance had its hooks in me like coffee did.

I smoked from 13-40. when I finally quit (~20 years ago). It was very final. I have no hatred of smoking or urge to smoke. But I do often wake up and realize I was csually smoking in my dreams.
I used to love cigarettes. Occasionally I miss them. Sometimes I think of them with a slight fondness and the thought of them being back into my life briefly appears and is immediately clobbered by the rush of memories of -needing- cigarettes, and the smell, and the expenses, and the tiny ways all of my life was arranged around how when and where my next cigarette would happen. The burden of the weight of addiction and the slow destruction of my health.
Cigarettes are some good memories and no chance of having a future in my life because of the lessons learned.
It's a lot like my ex-wife.

@urlnotfound oh my. That last line delivered.
I have the same feeling about cigarettes now. In the end, it wasn’t something active that I did. It was not me who was smoking, the cigarettes were smoking me.

@ba oh I used to have bad dreams like that. Very realistic ones in which I had started smoking again and realized it mid-dream with massive regret.

Yeah amazing shot. The symmetry is lovely and the water is as still as glass.
@drurystephanie, @poorusher
Thank you!
Thank you!
I looked at this pic upside down and the night sky is ominous, with an overhanging branch in the front, small clouds and lots of stars.

i spent some time trying to convince a woman hater not to hate women and i was not successful.
I value your effort. But that’s a long shot at best.
It's exhausting xo
@m3moellering : thank u for seeing the value in my effort. i've heard this before in slightly different terms
@m3moellering : where are you from? where are you now?

vintage picture of a man watching a sailboat on a vcr-connected TV and woman with a food processor and food
"Try my delicious lemon and kale smoothie!"
"Gee this wireless, battery-powered vcr works swell!"
That's a photo taped to the TV and he's still waiting for it to move.
@spingo Kinda looks like it could be Tucker Carlson, so maybe don't expect too much going on upstairs

My daughter dressed as Uncle Fester.
I don't post much of my private life anywhere, but if there's anywhere that I feel safe, it's right here. This is my daughter, who was diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer earlier this year. No cancer is good, but if you're going to get beat cancer, this is the one to get. Very manageable, especially if caught early like hers was. Chemo took her hair, so I shaved mine off in solidarity. She's been doing really well. The chemo hasn't made her very sick, just a loss of energy the past few treatments. The tumor was small to begin with, and it's already shrink to less than half its original size. One more month of biweekly treatments, then they'll reevaluate and operate if necessary. As you can see, she's taking it very well.
An excellent example of life giving you lemons so time to whip up a batch of lemonade.
I love this so much.
The absolute best costume! And what an electric personality she must have!
This rules!
EAT SHIT, CANCER!
Living like an Addams is the way to go in any situation.

A middle-aged man (me) in an old hall in front of a table of books.
I'm wearing all black, glasses and a mask and giving a two-fingered salute.

A skull with a fez?

@joost Ain't never gonna die it without the fez on.
are you flicking us the Vees?
@scruss yes (see alt tag). I also never know what to call it apart from two -ingered salute. Seem to recall people also saying a French salute?
Oh, Up Yours I guess.
@poorusher It's confusing because some people do the peace sign that way. It's also almost totally aged out.
I think the French salute is an Agincourt reference, but possibly apocryphal

A small blobby grey creature stands half-submerged in water. She is wet and glossy, with chub rolls at her neck, tiny round ears, black eyes and a wide hopeful snout. She is near a white plastic float, which she often hides under. She is Maple, the baby Pygmy Hippo at Toronto Zoo.

Classic 3 panel meme, depicting the moments after Gandalf's death with Boromir begging to give everyone a moment for pity's sake. First panel with Samwise head in hands is captioned "Spooky season lovers on November 1st", second panel shows Santa Claus with a full bag of toys, and third panel with Boromir is captioned "give them a moment, for pity's sake!"

just took down the halloween decor and ima be got-DAMNED if i do a thing about Xmas before November is over. there’s thanksgiving PIES to be made, man.
I'd like to decorate for Thanksgiving and do more than just have a meal, but there are so very very few Thanksgiving decorations. There is just no room on the store shelves or in people's budgets between Halloween and Christmas for Thanksgiving accessories.
