Walking the Path

It's the path, not the destination, that matters. Tidbits about me: white, pan, poly, cisgender woman (she/her) born in 1965 married to a trans genderfluid person (who came out in 2021) since 1988. Retired from working as a state database developer for environmental programs in 2020 to part time work then fully retired at the start of 2024. No children by choice. One cat. Living in New England, USA. Love to travel, knit, watch movies, play video games, exist online in many Discord chats (I've been using online chats since 1983, that is not a typo)

According to the charges filed in April, the Uintah County clerk-auditor flagged as many as 165 of the 305 signatures the man turned in as potentially fraudulent.

“The government shelled out almost $2 million in a no-bid emergency contract to clean up a diesel spill that occurred under the watch of Freedom 250, the shadowy organization through which President Donald Trump is administering semiquincentennial celebrations. In May, Freedom 250 and a Trump-tied event management company, Event Strategies Inc., installed temporary lighting while setting up the Great American State Fair on the National Mall. Then, on May 20, fuel lines on the lighting equipment spilled at least 30 gallons of fuel onto the mall. The fuel seeped underground, contaminating rainwater repositories used to irrigate the mall. And another spill of an unknown quantity came soon after. The government awarded a “rushed, no-bid contract” of $1.8 million for the cleanup, reported Anna Kramer of NOTUS Friday.”

Sneak peak of my latest blog update!  

When In Doubt Wear Purple!

[nudityandnerdery]

Just a casual reminder that posting on the internet about how you would want to do physical harm to members of the US government is something that they can (and will) detain you over, so just be careful what you say in public spaces like, uh, on Tumblr.

[nudityandnerdery]

I have got bad news for you about how connecting to the internet works and how corporations will respond to requests from the government.

[hearthfire-heartfire]

this is your semi-regular reminder that tumblr has cooperated with the fbi to hand over user information in a very public way at least once. and that's not the only way the feds can collect information on you either

Meet Juni! 💘

(Full name Maia Juni Button; we had a hard time deciding! Her name is space themed like our herd + Norse name like Thurston + rescue name.) ✨

We are so excited to announce this teeny lady is the latest addition to the Gaynea Pig fam. We have always been passively searching for a friend for Thurston; and @leapsandsqueaks girlie Button was the perfect match. 🐾

These two immediately connected, and have been loving each others' company since the second they met. Juni is friendly, curious, patient, and very interested in everything Thurston does. Both have been so relaxed and have done more zoomies in the past few days than we've ever seen! 💗

NEW!

Today’s topic is going to make you feel insane. Like you’re literally losing your mind. But I promise we’re not making it all up.

If, as you’re reading along, you find yourself going back over a sentence four or five times just thinking, “that can’t possibly be right,” or even “that has to be a typo, she clearly meant to say something else”… then congrats! You’ve read everything correctly!

Your ability to actually absorb the information I’m about to impart is contingent upon your Mindhunter-like ability to step into the head of a coldblooded psychopath. So c’mon, Clarice, let’s go!

Because of course, today we’re finally getting around to telling you about private equity.
