I hitchiked across the country, from Sacramento, ca to shawnee, ok shortly after 9/11.
At the time I would say I was hitching against terrorism. Lol. But I meant was I was proving that we were all still really safe, without needing to fear so much.
But I was shot and killed by a terrorist on the way. So there's that.
I was invited to participate in a community scavenger hunt with a local radio station I volunteer for, conpeting as a team.
This sounded really cool at first... but then I read this:
*"This year we are using the Bluesky app for teams to document their progress playing (As far as we can determine, it is currently the least fascistic social media platform available to serve our needs). Consider creating a team profile as well as personal profiles for your team members on the app."*
What do you guys think?
I don't want to reduce my frens to only those that think like me... but a whole day with bluesy types seems out of pocket.
My sister called me around 6am 25 years ago today and told me to turn on the news. Crazy day.

Not sure if anyone does prank/crank calls anymore, but here's one my sister made up that works great, especially if you get a boomer on the other end:
"Hi. This is [your name] from your local Baskin Robbins. We're doing a promotional game and hope you'll play.
If you can guess 31 flavors in 31 seconds, we'll give you 31 dollars and 31 cents.
Would you like to try?"
Gm bitchez. I heard your mom likes ETH. The question is whether she accepts it as payment yet. 🤔
Bitcoin may be gay, but Monero is a straight tranny. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
GN. Not that *you* care.
GM.
GM guys and gals. Happy holiday to you.
Staying with the Hindu in-laws tonight. I'm treated something like royalty here. Tonight I was given curried eggs, tortillas (roti) with lentils cooked inside them. We had jackfruit, coconut curry... the works.
And then instant coffee. Lol. Which I always find odd, but all the hindus have instant coffee here.
My back is sort of racked and I have to sleep in a recliner. They are giving me the nicest faux-leather recliner to sleep in.
I'm listening to religious music and getting sleepy now. It's always a mix of feeling out of place, but being treated so nicely that I don't want to leave.
Long drive home tomorrow.

I can honestly say that I've worked over 100 different jobs. I've been a writer, an environmental scientist... fuck, I even drove tomato trucks for a minute.
I have never secured a job from a friend or family member. I have a shit-ton of student loans for my retarded biology degree. And now I'm unemployed, aside from a very part time substitute teaching gig.
I'm lucky I have years of savings and a wife with a real job. I don't have any clue how the next generation makes it...
Nepotism is the only way now. You either got it ir you dont.
In Humboldt, we have some of the nicest rivers and tribs in the whole country... that is, until September. 😥
Got a friend in Stockton, CA. She says, "don't come through town without stopping by."
Bitch, if I wasn't stopping by, I wouldn't anywhere near this shithole. 🤣
Did you know that bitcoin/crypto posts and integration is the number 1 reason frens and fam tell me they won't use Nostr?
Also, it makes almost zero sense to people not concerned with censorship.
Lol. Sheep rule our socials. 🤷♂️
I decided to only use nostr when absolutely nobody is here but me. That's most of the time these days, but I'm sticking to weekends and after 5pm M-F for now.
Me as a car.
