Let's get this bread.
It's my birthday today... aaaand I am at the bottom of the board for jeep tours and the forest north of Sedona is on fire, so I'm probably not going to get any tours but have to be close by-ish just in case. Hooray. While there's a wildfire on so nobody is booking tours.
42 years old today. I had honestly hoped to be dead by now when I was 17 years old.
There's only one thing I really want for today and I know it's not going to happen today, so it goes.
Maybe I'll go and do some birding on the other side of the mountain anyway this morning. I woke up in a sour helpless mood after the dreams I had, though they weren't inherently bad at all.
I mean, the headache from the wildfire smoke doesn't help the mood either.
I have two bottles, waiting. But I have a feeling the fucker is possessed by a demon and won't ever die, and when he does they'll have an AI substitute for him.
Step one to become a fossil: die.
I do not want to think, i've seen people who live that way and it seems peaceful.
Unpopular Arizonan Opinion: all heat is valid and the reason for the rise in temperature lies in the hands of people with detachable heads. Go get 'em, sport.

If that solidarity is a creosote bush, it's a start. Speaking from personal experience.
Pippin tax!
Today's message from Pippin: "Glory Pippin! I love you."
__
1) Are you on the run to a safe place and passing through Arizona on your way to safer grounds? My apartment is open to you to crash at, and it is a safe space. Pippin and I will make you a meal and gladly share tea, wine, or mead with you.
2) Hey! Take your meds with a full glass of water, please. Do it for Pippin, or Space Mom, or better yet, do it for yourself.
3) Ĝefeloað wē. We will carry on.
4) all funds from the sales of items at these two links will be sent to support charities aiding to fight for Trans rights in the US (not just T-shirts!)

Should you ever make it over to Europe, you're always welcome in Denmark.

Happy Birthday youngling! May every new sunrise bring you closer to your dreams - even if you don’t get your wish today.
Wish I had a better wine to raise for you, but here goes 🙌🎉

Thank you!

#38 I am "generously blessed" which means every single little bit of food that falls lands exactly on my chest. It's messy. It doesn't help that I'm a messy eater.

My husband's family is all large-chested and they refer to them as "crumb catchers" which is not untrue lol

#22 That's how my gf describes her bra in this heat.

Happy birthday, Cody. I'm glad you stuck around.
Scritch Pippin for me.

Happy Birthday! Thanks for all the posts. The history memes are always fire. Also thank you for the book recommendations. I really enjoyed the Brusatte books.
CodyBurkett
You're welcome!

My friend, @op, you have sent me on a wild ride with ġefeloað wē. I was unaware of the meme so went to the old English dictionaries, then found the meme, then got confused. I think the translation should be “ġefēolen wē”, the plural subjunctive (similar to “viva la causa”’s use of subjunctive) and not “ġefeolaþ wē” (where I assume the original translator confused ‘eth’ for ‘thorn’), which is the imperative (“hey! You all over there! Persist!”). But, I am not an old English expert. YMMV.

@op curious about your thoughts — I ran out of characters lol
CodyBurkett
It probably should be, but I am a suckered for well done covers of The Black Parade in dead languages.

Isn't 42 the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything?

#44 Ah, The Craft. Source of more than a few fantasies, I must admit.

Happy Birthday!!!

You’re answer to Arizonan’s is “oh, we we’re talking about wet bulb temperature” … and watch them spiral about monsoons

#13 - and a large percentage of the rest of the world as well. I have a bottle of bubbly ready to go in Canada. But:
More than 30% of USA would still vote for this POS.
100% of billionaires support him
Probably 100% of Zionists support him

Ol' Stringbag pearlharbored enemy fleets before Pearl Harbour, twice, and actually showed the japanese that torpedo attacks in shallow waters could be done.

Happy birthday! For what it's worth, your posts and commentary are a bright spot in my life, I appreciate what you bring to the world!

Happy Birthday! I look forward to your memes every day.

#14 I have always fantasized about doing something like this, but I think mine would have a safety cage over the button, like a missile launcher. It's not something you want to inadvertently hit when you accidentally knock you mug over and grab it before it spills.

PSA to anyone: doing this kind of thing would be extremely illegal and the company would sue you into poverty. Stay safe <3
zephyrcarbonsunrise
Sure... You've made a two-way contract with your employer, which most likely prohibits tomfoolery like this. So prepare for legal consequences.
And I don't think even socialist democratism will change it.

Happy birthday!
I don't know what your wish is, but I hope you get it.

i wish for world peas

I think I might through context clues, and the world would be a better place if he didn’t
Unless I’m wrong and what he wants is lottery winnings or something

I assumed it was like Trump dying

I'm actually planning margaritas, because it would piss him off even more to enjoy a more culturally diverse beverage.

#12 Linda doesn't know what pronouns are because Linda used two of them in that one sentence.
copperdomebodhi
Linda is grumbling to herself that OOP knew goddamn well what she meant.
HighSorcerer
Yes well what she meant and what she said are two very stupid things.
RunsNakedThroughSwamps
I have a theory that a lot of people don't remember elementary school grammar and genuinely don't know what a pronoun is.
HighSorcerer
The us govt has been cutting education for decades and now the country is rife with stupid people and they act like they have no idea how it got this way.
tavinjer
But you can also see that by listening to her question, or just by the fact that she says she doesn’t have them in the first place
cbaggs32
Listen, Linda is probably a bitch, but even Linda doesn't deserve to have Linda's pronouns misused. Be Better /s
tavinjer
Sorry sorry sorry that one’s on me
