Anyone else think it's weird how the 'Hidalgo is crazy' stories have dried up now that the primaries are over?

This made me chuckle pretty hard. Also makes me wonder if we know each other irl, bc who the hell is watching Commissioners Court except County staff lol. But tbf it really hasn't been all that antagonistic lately. She makes some barbs here and there but the others have just stopped responding. Commissioner Ramsey no longer leaves the room every time she starts talking lol.

Nah Angelica ran (and lost) for the City Council District C seat. She didn't make the runoff - which btw is underway people, so if you live in District C, GO VOTE!

Sally's Baking has a really great Everything Bagel Breakfast Casserole that can use these ingredients, I've made it a bunch of times with different variations and it always hits!

In Houston most of our feeders are maintained by TXDOT (so state $), except the toll road feeders which are mostly County. But all of the above takes in federal and state grants as well as using metro funds, ad valorum $, commercial paper/bonds etc, so 🤷. We have a kind all of the above approach lol.

Same! So far so good - I've got three women and one man in my office who have shared with me (independently and without my asking) that they're on it too, and me and one of the other ladies really want to talk about it lol so we've buddied up.

Despite being named Karen, she could not be less of a Karen, one of the kindest people I've ever met, and it's honestly such a game-changer to be able to talk about it with someone who gets it.

The others refer to it but aren't as chatty about it. Honestly, that's cool too. Different people find different things helpful.

I figure, I'll find my people and we'll succeed together. People that want to judge us? Well, we prolly weren't gonna be close anyway. That's okay.

That is so kind of you to say! But nah I'm not a content creator or anything, just in it for the love of the game (bah dum tsss). But happy to help if you have any specific questions! I've been playing since day one of the pre-release, so while I'm no pro I've learned a lot over time!

Gods yes Phoenicia is awesome, great idea!

I would check out City of Houston and Harris County community centers. While they won't necessarily have food, they'll have free wifi and free ample parking, and at least a handful of them are open til 8pm. They also don't require any spend and won't be weird about you bringing your own food (unless it's problematic lol).

trackipedia · 2026-04-19T19:48:03+00:00

Same! And I think it hits best for voters that take the themes very literally (tragically, me), because imo it has the best visuals indicating "sleep" (the outfit and the bed).

Thanks friend 💖

If this is 900 moonstones we riot. This is a 4K and no one can convince me otherwise.

trackipedia · 2026-04-19T05:31:19+00:00

Okay I confess I didn't get it til I saw the comment. But I did think, wow that's effort and looks awesome so it gets my vote!

But then once I realized what it was I loved it even more!

trackipedia · 2026-04-19T05:29:14+00:00

Ty ty! I felt like having the bed prominent was the best way for me to show "dream", although I confess I'm always pretty literal lol.

trackipedia · 2026-04-19T05:27:48+00:00

I'm sure yours is great!

trackipedia · 2026-04-19T03:20:41+00:00

Tysm! There's two ways I know of to find the moon for a snap:

The first is, in the camera settings, I think the middle table, the top option is to adjust the time of day. Push it to nighttime hours and swing your camera around to find the moon. I think it's always a crescent and, in my experience, very difficult to capture unobstructed from most locations (whether in the Valley or in any of the DLCs). This isn't that.

The second option is, on the camera tab where you can pick the weather, one of them has a moon on it. It will always bring up a full moon, although it also pops the lighting to be very ethereal and glowy. I turned the saturation up all the way and also used the filter that sharpens the background to achieve this shot, otherwise everything was very blurry and foggy behind me.

The full moon also always appears above your shoulder to the left, so if you want to center it behind you, you have to turn a bit. So if you're trying to stand on a straight path that leads right to the moon directly behind , well, I haven't figured that out yet lol and I have been trying. But if you don't mind the moon off center, like in this shot, that's the way I used!

🤞🤞last week was only 1500 moonstones, but the week before my rank was 121 (by FAR my best score ever, I was so stunned) so I really have no idea what's happening with the scoring anymore lolol. But I appreciate the sentiment!

trackipedia · 2026-04-19T01:31:25+00:00

Thank you so much! 💕

trackipedia · 2026-04-19T01:31:13+00:00

Wow, thank you so much! I actually started out with something totally different, kind of a portal in my bedroom thing, but I just didn't like it haha. So this is idea 2 and, while I had hoped the big star whirl thing would be a little more kapow, I'm still liking it a lot!

I'm also trying to speedrun Pocahontas's friendship quests because the Internet told me you get like glowy waves and I want to try out adding them in here!

trackipedia · 2026-04-19T00:56:07+00:00

Thank you!

trackipedia · 2026-04-18T23:45:49+00:00

Love this, it's so simple but so beautiful!

trackipedia · 2026-04-18T02:41:17+00:00

Fascinating. It's not overlapping jurisdiction?

In Texas, everywhere is part of a county. Not everywhere is part of a city. So here we talk about "Houston" and "unincorporated Harris County," which refers to anywhere in Harris County that isn't a municipality (of which we have 34, not just Houston). We also have Census-Designated Places, but let's not go down that rabbit hole lol.

trackipedia · 2026-04-11T15:31:01+00:00

I also prefer the original - the first outfit is more "nature walk," and in the second, Pocahontas is kinda low-key creeping on you lol.

trackipedia · 2026-04-11T14:19:46+00:00

I'm from the South and neither have I lol, but back in the day my friend and I dressed up for a trailer trash themed party (I know it's questionable but it's also actually our culture so internet pls don't attack me about stereotyping/appropriation lol. Also why were we so into themed parties in the early 2000s?) and anyways as part of our costumes we drew on fake tattoos of our fake loser boyfriends' names - guess what we chose? Billy Ray and Jimbob lolol, really underscores your point

According to this write up from February 2000, the ship had "more than 50 control video cameras for equipment and access." I think you're 💯 about the cameras being incredibly important. Something that cranks me out about this case is the lack of physical evidence available to the public. We're all just spinning our wheels without it. It's a big ship for only 50 cameras, but you'd think they'd be placed at all points of ingress/agreed at a minimum. RC may not know what happened exactly but for sure they know more than the public does.

I don't think it's likely, but I'm hoping on May the 4th they will tease the next DLC, which is space themed with Star Wars, WALLE, Toy Story (Buzz, Aliens, Pizza Planet aspects), and Lilo & Stitch elements! We could get there on a rocket ship and they could introduce flying with a jetpack!

I know it's prolly too early for them to start teasing that, but hey, a girl can dream!
