A large black and white Border Collie/Akita mix dog dressed in service dog gear and shoes (Zatanna) sits in wait in front of a Halloween display of pumpkins. Three smiling pumpkins sit in a row. The largest in the middle has an open silly grinning mouth with large teeth, that can be played as a xylophone. To the far side, not connected to the first display, is a pumpkin with a crank handle. When turned, the face can be changed.

walked around a bit to learn more about the transit system yesterday

Text message clip from larger message dressing down Saffy: Also, please do not use your dad as a scapegoat. You said you missed graduate school because of your dad. That was 10 years ago at least. Since then you've lived with _________, ________, douche nozzle, and __________! You didn't stop for him to then suddenly live for years taking care of him to only actually just recently take care of him for the past few months. You wanna use him and blame me? Fine, but the math doesn't add and it's inconsiderate and rude to use your dad as an excuse like that.

Can’t forget what it felt like to have a friend for 15+ years say this, despite the mountains of evidence, I’ve been taking care of both of my parents in many regards for most of my life. For reference this was sent *after* my Dad almost got arrested for a wandering spell in ‘24— and they knew that.

Last year our electricity bill for the month of August in this exact same apartment with about the same energy usage was $117, this year it's $340. A trip to the grocery store for a week's worth of food has gone from $100 to $200+, but less food is purchased. How. How are we supposed to live.

A row of carved pumpkins hubby and I created

My husband and I don't have any grandchildren, we don't know any local kids, but we had grown all of these pumpkins this year, so decided to carve them and light them up just for our own amusement...there are four that are going to my stepsister's grandchildren, but only via photos on cards...

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco seen from across the city’s rooftops.

bridge visibility is 9/10 today, love it

had like five things happen at once, and mostly went and got my body’s check engine light checked, am working on getting things back to a better place with my health fwiw

I’m going to start w/ I’m okay, and Z’s doing somewhat better, but I am taking her to the vet later in the week, as I ended up in the ER basically all night last night. Again, I am doing okay now, and I’m out already.

Donate to Get Us Home, organized by Kelley Sweet My family is from California originally, and after many years in Arkansas, it’s time to bring our multi-disab… Kelley Sweet needs your support for Get Us Home

the vet gave me an estimate today, that a visit for Z tomorrow is likely going to be around $150 given what I was able to tell them is going on—- the clinic is walk-in and is already discounted for my lack of funds. Please help if you can 😥

I’m at S8 of watching Friends, and so far it’s been pretty good, some of the running jokes aren’t great, but very enjoyable otherwise

i could write a tome about how fucking embarrassing it is for journalism that someone as morally bankrupt as bari weiss has ascended to the highest levels of money and power by tickling trump's balls but instead i'm going to keep covering the people hurt most by his terror and giving them a voice.

people who built bsky:
-trans women (bsky protects jesse singal)
-Black users (bsky allows rampant antiBlack racism)
-SWers (bsky to implement hostile age verification in UK)
-organizers and activists (bsky autodeletes anyone in gaza with a pulse)
-artists (bsky dev says AI has rights lmao)

I’m sorry for posting our donation link so much, Z needs to see a vet Monday, and I could really use support for that—- thanks folks, I appreciate people caring about what’s going on.

working on my Halloween playlist to distract myself

I’m going to have to take Zatanna to the vet on Monday, any help we could get via donations would mean so much right now—- thank you to those reposting and for the donations we’ve gotten—- she’s my service dog, so any support we can get will mean more than I can convey 🐾
