Also disappointed to learn that pickle ball had nothing to do with pickles. I'm here for food, dammit! It's just another version of paddleball. I was hitting a tennis ball against the garage before all this. Get off my lawn!

I like Mangos but not enough to do this and if I had the money to follow the mango harvest to every continent, I'm sure that isn't what I would be doing with that money.

Sad but accurate

About activism, June Jordan said, “You do something, rather than nothing… You do whatever you can. You reach beyond yourself in your imagination, and in your wish for understanding, and for change. You admit the limitations of individual perspectives. You trust somebody else. You do not turn away.”

Far too many people are like "those are not the same windows" and like... I'm sorry you're unable to do pattern recognition, you should talk to someone about that.

Happy Hogswatch!

I have a cheap fitness tracker and apparently, according to it, I didn't sleep last night (narrator voice: she totally slept last night).

A digital drawing featuring a journal-esque page with different photos and papers stacked on top of each other. There is a photo of flowers, one with leaves, a round one with a mountain in it, and the text "life is so much better with you around" on top of it all.

It is :)

They are in my freezer. lol

Since themed grab bags have been popular in the shop before and blind boxes/bags have been received well at conventions, I decided to list a small number of blind bags con-style in the shop as well! I made them all up and shuffled them around so I don't even know which one you'll get. Have fun!

Absolutely, off my list, too.

Sure seems to be heading that way.

Omg, they were sooo good!

The Government’s Computing Experts Say They Are Terrified Four IT professionals lay out just how destructive Elon Musk’s incursion into the U.S. government could be.

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history—at least that’s publicly known."

How a US freeze has upended global aid The State Department says the freeze was the only way to evaluate aid programs and defended the pause.

So.... the reason other countries respect what the USA says and does is because of our enormous amount of outgoing money to areas in need. Our generosity gives us global cred, it's a political necessity.

Apparently we've stopped that. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Yep, this is self care.

Y’all, look at KEVIN!

Re: Sarah McBride, I don't care who is doing their business in the stall next to me. I find it ironic that the Republicans are claiming this is stripping cis women of their privacy rights when they absolutely concern themselves with my reproductive organs without regard to my privacy there.

🕯️Transgender Day of Remembrance 🕯️ Since this date last year, 36 transgender and gender-expansive people have been killed for living their lives as their authentic selves. Half were black and 17 % were experiencing homelessness.

It seems like the flare ups are worse because most of the time you have no anxiety so the differential is greater. Still sux, but you know you'll get through it!

Oh hai all new people to this platform. I post about as much here as I do anywhere else which is to say, not much.

In the Spring of 1864 Twain, while working as a beat reporter for the SF Morning Call, Twain witnessed the murder of a Chinese laborer by a mob that included cops.

It radicalized him. He wrote it up, one of the first things he ever authored which he thought deserved to be called “literature”…

Yep, those people could solve alot of problems with money they will never actually ever be able to spend on themselves.

Sure, beyond a certain amount, it is greed. Like who is ever going to spend billions of dollars?

So is it greed or is it just seeing/living through the shift from solid jobs that you worked at for 30 years of your life to having to job hop, getting laid off, getting fired (because your new boss doesn't like you), etc. and then having to take a job for less pay just to pay your bills?
