It’s days like today when I really wish teleportation existed. All three of my kids are on the west coast. We’re face timing today, but it would be great to actually see them in person.
When I left Twitter almost 2 yrs ago, I lost a following of 11K who provided revenue streams (coaching, books, speaking). My almost 3K here hasn’t served the same function, & there tends to be an anti-monetization ethos on the Fedi. I get it, but big brands & corp extraction capitalism ≠ single shingle folx like me.
I could live comfortably w/10 clients. All of this is to say, if you appreciate my voice on this platform, pls consider hiring me or buying me a cuppa. TY
@mcnees yep! The Cheezburger article shows the whole thread, complete with tectonics, fossils etc. It underscores just how transient our own lives are on this rock. Bazillions of years from now, they’ll find a vein of plastic and whatever substance it is that holds Trump’s hair in place.
Something that may be remembered by The Very Online: a monster Twitter thread about the age of the Appalachian Mountains. It’s from 2021, well before the narcissistic white supremacist bought and intentionally sank it.
@mcnees true story: a few years ago, I went on a blind date w a medical illustrator. Dual Canadian citizenship, well spoken. During our date at a jazz club, he leans in (in a loud music way, not creepy) and says, “Did you know the moon landing was faked?” Cut to me, shrinking inside. He went on to tell me how 9/11 was also an inside job. Sigh. Being single can really be a PITA.
