Ok. I don't have any more snark in me for the day. I do have a hole, though. So I'm going to climb into bed and hug a pillow, probably until tomorrow.
Sorry for being a downer today. The grief is loud and the happy is small.

Be good to yourself and your pets.

Well? Did you help him up? You don't know what's dripped onto that street.

The checks keep bouncing. Once he gets a bigger donor, those numbers will go up.

Meanwhile, I'm going to see if an out of state guy can donate to the one who talks with his hands.

The signature is getting bigger. The humanity must be getting smaller to compensate.

This is what I was hoping you meant. But I didn't know that company had three varieties. The local store only stocks the beef one.

Alright. Stage one commencing.

It won't be easy, but I have to learn to live without my fur princess now. She had already crossed the bridge when I got home from the concert last night.

Sorry. Not answering questions right now.

There was an interview this past Saturday with a chef regarding the variety and history of tacos, and I kept thinking how he'd probably love a Scalzi Burrito.

As for soda-variants of "traditional" meals, I'll have to pass. Not because of any purity kick, but because I'm trying to cut back on soda.

Have to admit I always thought Misty of Chincoteague was better anyway. The Black Stallion books always felt like a Marty Stu situation, even to 9 year old me.

hello things are pretty dire over here and if anyone has spare trinket money, a sale or two would go a long way!! (and if you don’t, BOY do i understand!!!!! a share, either digital or word of mouth, would also go a long way!!)

Not good news tonight.

Need to take some time for grief processing. I'll be back, but not tonight. Or possibly this week.

Few months ago, I got a box that all the neighbors stared at me weird for. Had "adult entire" in big letters on the side.

It was the light up and smoking ghost trap recently released.

(I left it in the window for two weeks just in case.)

Thank you, Max. I need this very much tonight.

I read foundation when I was thirteen. Looking back on it, I should have waited a few years. But every kid reads differently despite the "reading level.". I should say they understand, comprehend, and process differently. Watership Down was tough for me at nine.

Sorry, triggered myself. Need a mo

How old is this photo?

Past me spent money on a concert ticket. (Haven't been to one in over a decade.)
Recent past me has been having a ... not quite crisis, but bad mental health for a bit.

Present me went to the concert, and honestly - while everything isn't all better - I feel recharged. Thanks, @dropkickmurphys.com

And the panic attacks began
Great timing.

This is abominable

(it's a big win for me. Not that I've beaten my social anxiety for the day, but I coped with it enough to get here. You have no idea how long I sat in the car in the parking lot before this.)

Trying that life thing.

The GHF-run food distributions in Gaza, Palestine, have become sites of “orchestrated killing and dehumanisation”, not humanitarian aid. A new MSF report documents the horrors witnessed by MSF staff at two clinics that regularly received mass influxes of casualties following violence at sites run by the GHF. MSF calls for the immediate dismantling of the GHF scheme and the restoration of the UN-coordinated aid delivery mechanism.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF):

GHF-run ‘aid’ sites are sites of “orchestrated killing and dehumanisation.”

“In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.”

The number of appliance parts stores near me have dropped over the past 7 years. There were about 6 when I first repaired my dryer. One had closed when I needed to repair it again (different part). Now? There's two, and one only deals with professionals.

So, so frustrating.

Both underrated movies.

Agreed. I mass followed a bunch of people based off recommendations and got inundated by more than I expected. I've taken my time curating it down as I've been exposed to new ideas, and it's stretching my concepts. It's still a lot, but I quickly learned Bluesky is not the old social media concept.

*sigh*

He does this to any place he plans on staying for 6 months. It's just nailed down better if he's thinking longer term. Even Nero took his time looting before the matches were lit.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

In Oct 2024, I was hospitalized. I have kidney failure and require dialysis, and it was months before I learned to walk again. Before I got Medicaid, I maxed out every credit card I have to pay for medical transport and groceries. Any help you can offer to pay down the debt is appreciated.

This is a great deal.
