Ash
Lesbian-American escapee living in Spain with a cat. I write about it sometimes.
Gen-X godless heathen and I vote.
I also write music: soundsofash.bandcamp.com
- Whilst trying to figure out the theme from The Inner Light on the Ressikan flute, I accidentally found Kiss From a Rose. #startrek #batman
- I feel like Neelix should have named the mess hall Gastrometrics. #startrek
- I don't get how people convert between religions. If you're a believer because you think it's true, then what convinces you to change? Do you think you've been believing a lie? What makes another religion more true and how do you know? Or do you just like the rituals and rewards better? #atheism

- I don't eat fast food hardly ever, but a sausage and egg mcmuffin is such comfort food and is a pretty good hangover remedy. Yum!
- This is the key to the old Fayette, Alabama jail. It's a tiny town even today and back in the 1800s it had just one jail cell. It usually just held someone who had too much to drink. The sheriff was friends with my grandpa. When the jail burnt down in the 1930s, he gave the key to him.
- I often type up something to post that I think is witty and clever but 99% of the time I delete it because it's probably only funny to me. This was obviously not one of those times.

- There was a ton of it today especially.
- There were new people tonight in my Spanish class so we all had to do our introductions. When I said I'm from the USA, the Palestinian couple seemed really surprised. After class, they gave me their phone number and said call them if I need anything because "refugees have to stick together."
- Googling how to become a shut-in
- I have no idea what it is but the bottle is cute and I can make art with it. Bottoms up!
- Anti-LGBTQ+ Christian Dominionists are having a rally right now in Miami. Here's Portland-area Jenny Donnelly sharing her dream about bashing her kid's head in because they weren't giving her enough love and talks about how she made love an idol. (something's really wrong with these people)

- Then you have more in common with her than I do.
- There are so many holidays in Spain, particularly in Andalucía, and I need to learn how to plan my grocery trips around them. At least today I looked it up before walking to the store. But damn I'd love some bananas right now.

- Neat, but I'm not the one having dreams of killing my daughter. I'm too smart to be a christian.
- I just deactivated my US phone number. Feels good.
- I still get the same anxiety and dread about Mother's Day. Having to fake appreciation for someone who gave nothing but judgment, ridicule, jealousy, spite, and bullying. Now that she's gone I can only pity her for not knowing how to be a good person. Or even an adequate mother. RIP mom.
- May the Lord bless everyone who beats your children against the rocks. Psalm 137:9 In case you were wondering where they get batshit crazy ideas like this, it's in their handbook.
- Kasumi is SO pissed I woke her up from a nap. #catsofbluesky
- I didn't think there was anything that I cared less about than superhero movies. The pope proved me wrong.
- Blood donation scars are sexy.

- I take the opposite approach. Nobody is a christian until they can all agree on a definition.
- People at the bars know my cat's name but not my own. 😆
- Working in Portland this week. I like this place.

- Nope, I'm just old. Back in the 90s it was a buffet restaurant. They didn't even change the name.
- The Golden Dragon used to have a great buffet.
- A lovely day to celebrate 100 years of Alhambra cerveza. #granada 🍻
- #Oregon is having an alt right forced birth rally on may 17th! Anyone want to join up to counter their dumbasses?

View full threadThat would be Salem 👀👀 gosh I don’t miss working down there. It was a pain in the ass. I got stuck in a riot leaving in my jeep and almost got yanked from my car!
- I worked out of the Portland office, I only had to go to Salem for trial and it was the worst. Fortunately I never encountered a riot!
- If you must use ChatGPT, use duck.ai. It's from DuckDuckGo and it doesn't save or track your queries.
- The author disabled quotes.Apropos absolutely nothing: Everything you put *into* ChatGPT/Copilot etc becomes a part of their training data, too. That means if you ask it a question like, "is Carl in Accounting a cheat?" it might say no, but also "Carl in Accounting is a cheat" is part of its training data.
- Oh ffs. Where are they doing this?
- Beep (circa 1962-2010, 2012-2015): An amalgamated "fruit juice-based beverage" from Canada, that developed a cult following. It was made with a blend of orange, apple, apricot, prune, and pineapple juices, along with canola oil, corn starch, added orange pulp, & caramel coloring
- The packaging looks too much like it would be liquid eggs
- Even the product bears a striking resemblance. 🤢
- Day drinking is best done in pub crawl format.

- Well, I used to live in Portland, Oregon. I've got some experience tearing out racist statues. 😈
- Goddess dammit.
- Please tell me they're not seriously considering a JK statue. Her "literature" is crap.

- The bible also says to stone women and enslave non-believers. It's not a good book to rely on, which is why you'll forever be searching for a "true christian."
- A Pope Trump makes a lot of sense. I can't think of anyone more qualified to lead a billion dollar criminal organisation that hates queer people and protects child abusers.
- There was a horse and buggy parked on my street corner and I tried to introduce Kasumi to him. The horse was interested, Kasumi was very much not. Here she is feeling relieved to have survived the experience.
- If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.
- I've been a lifelong angry atheist. I realized at a very young age that the world is run by people who will kill over a fairy tale and I just don't know how to not be angry about that. #atheism

- Christian love is an inexplicable thing, isn't it? I'm sorry that was the choice your dad gave you, you didn't deserve that.
- I have misophonia about babies. Why parents don't plug their mouth holes for 20 years is beyond me.

- If it makes you feel any better, I always felt real bad for the kids who had to go to church.

- Because it makes no sense! Were we just more rational at a younger age? I was so confused that other kids who knew Santa Claus wasn't real, still believed in this god/devil concept that was an obvious scam. Even more confused to discover adults believed it too.

- here's a fun game if you're a music dork: what is the best album released by a music act at least 15 years after its debut album?
- Too Much Joy - All these Fucking Feelings youtu.be/QpU-Bb2DtFk
- Kasumi loves to pose for glamour shots, I didn't have the heart to tell her she's got food on her chin. #catsofbluesky
- Currently reading Sir Patrick Stewart's memoir "Making it So" and I just discovered he and I know the same secret to curing someone's hiccups. Don't worry Sir, I've never revealed it and I never will.
