@adam I'm saddened by the folks leaving omg.lol but I'm not going anywhere. I sent the developer a message of support w/out knowing the whole story because he has always been nice to me and I am a supportive person. I also sent Melanie a public note of support tonight once the whole story came out for the same reason. I'm not on anyone's team, I'm cool with pronouns and I am all about forgiveness because I've had some ugly fuck-ups in my time. I got enough love to go around.

What's the Matter with Lance Armstong? https://louplummer.lol/post/what-s-the-matter-with-lance-armstong I have written before on how cycling changed my life. In December of 2008 I weighed nearly 300lbs and had been drinking on a daily basis for years. I had my last drink three days after Christmas that year. Twelve months later I weighed less than 200 lbs., and I...

@greg I agree that doping is almost universal. It takes away the magic feeling I once had for pro sports so I'm glad I can still get excited about amateurs and the fringe sports I follow. BTW, did you happen to see the post I wrote about having Fayetteville as a hometown last week?

From my 100 Strangers Project - Officer McGuire, taken right after he made a big show of scolding a woman for taking two steps away from her suitcase. She didn't even speak English. He could have handled it differently. #photography

@zicklepop Mine doesn't take well to any sort of creative license when I'm telling a story. She's a volunteer fact checker who keeps threatening to get on Mastodon to "keep me honest".

❓ The student worker, who gets paid an hourly wage, is confused by the notion of clocking in and clocking out and definitely does not approve of signing in and out of the office with a destination.

✏️ The Spotlight Effect

The spotlight effect is the psychological phenomenon by which people tend to believe they are being noticed more than they really are. Being that one is constantly in the center of one’s own world, an accurate evaluation of how much one is noticed by others is uncommon…

🚴 So my daughter and her family (all cyclists) are going to France in July and they don't plan to see a single stage of the Tour de France and I don't understand where I failed as a parent.

amerpie,
@amerpie@social.lol avatar

@greg They are all Tour fans too, but the logistics of the trip just didn't work out for them. The race is wonky this year because the Olympics are happening at the same time. It doesn't even end in Paris.

@greg One of my cycling buddies went a few years back and came back amazed at the size of the riders. He said most of them are as big as your average middle schooler. Even Mighty Mark Cavendish, the sprinter, was tiny he said.

I will always believe we should honor fallen troops by doing everything we can to make sure no one ever dies in dubious future wars. When we sacrifice our young people, it should mean something lasting. This is my grandmother’s brother, Gratton McFadyen, who died fighting fascists in Italy.

@bup I love it. Jack Baty is probably a great guy, but I am much more interested in seeing what people like than what they dislike. I especially respect that you put your hometown on there. I love mine too (Fayetteville, NC) even if it gets a lot of crap for being a military town. I recently wrote a piece much like yours. https://louplummer.lol/post/twenty-sublime-moments
