  I know we're all supposed to be super partisan right now, but this picture of state house candidates Turrieta(D) and Terrazas(R) hugging at the end of their campaign is one of the most hopeful things I've seen in a while. https://www.scdailypress.com/2026/10/06/nm-house-hopefuls-end-high-note/ #uspol #NewMexico

  Hey Mac68k peeps. I'm trying to get system 7.1.1 running on my LC475. This requires that System Enabler 065 should be installed in the system folder. I can't boot the machine so I figured I'd fire up an emulator (Snow) mount the image there and copy the enabler over. Sadly when I try to copy the file over using the file share option, I get Error -44. I was never a Mac person and I have no idea what I'm doing. Any suggestions? Thanks! #retrocomputing #mac #Mac68k

  The feds are trying to open the land around Chaco canyon to mineral extraction... again. Not only is this land sacred to native peoples all across the southwest, it also is home to a huge number of culturally sensitive sites. It sucks that we have to keep doing this but, if you want to comment, use this link. #NewMexico #uspol #ChacoCanyon https://eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home/?id=D949F582-402D-F111-8341-001DD804183B

  Want to know something crazy? I think that scorpion sting cured my tendonitis. To be fair, it was starting to get better before I got stung so maybe I didn't notice it getting better during the two days my body was on fire. OTOH, I was trying to sweat it out so I wasn't exactly taking it easy. Maybe my body's response to the poison also took care of other inflammation as well?

  The Internet: Check out this cool new Smart... Me: Nope! To be clear, if you love smart devices and appliances, that's great. Do what makes you happy. They're just not for me.

  One of the kids graduated last night! They graduated from a small highschool in rural Arizona. You'd expect things to be very conservative given the political climate in the US but the school doubled down on the inclusivity. The keynote speaker, who was great, was introduced as living in California with her wife and they did the prayer in Spanish and Navajo. I'm sure this doesn't seem like much if you're sitting in a cozy bookstore in a big city but for the rural...

  I just realized that I live in a country that thinks it's more dangerous for children to see a woman's nipples than it is for them to watch someone be brutally murdered.

  Thinking about my mom today. Her dad was an oil prospector in Southeast New Mexico. She spent her childhood bouncing from one mining camp to another. She had a tough time when she was young, dealing with with poverty and depression. She was incredibly creative and capable eventually earning her doctorate and becoming chair of the Art History department at UNM. We weren't always super close but I never doubted that she loved me. Miss you Mom. ♥️

  I made pink lemonade. Of course, I don't actually know what goes into pink lemonade and this turned out more crimson than pink. Either way, it's great! Here's the recipe: In a 2c Pyrex measuring cup mix ¼c sugar, four dried jamaica* flowers and 1c of boiling water. Stir and let sit until cool. Dump this into a quart jar with the juice of two lemons and a bunch of ice. Top it off with water, close the jar and shake. #food #drink #recipe (*In English, jamaica is hibiscus or...

  Hey, has anyone heard from @KrajciTom@universeodon.com? Did he finally give up on the rest of us and join a monastery? Did he finish building his Mad Max glider and soar off into the sunset? Inquiring minds want to know.

  When I was a kid, we lived near Don Pancho's cinema. A storefront movie theater across from UNM in Albuquerque. On Saturday, they had a matinee, whatever they could get cheap. Foreign films, monster movies, reruns and b movies. Admission was less than a buck and I went all the time. While my compatriots were watching Pretty in Pink, I was watching The Flying Guillotine and Monster Zero. No wonder I never fit in. 😅 #movies #Albuquerque #NewMexico

  My wife made oatmeal cookies. I just ate six in rapid succession. I feel like I'm starting on a spirit journey... Psychedelic? Transcendental? I'm not sure... But that was a lot of cookies. 😵‍💫 #food #cookies
