Malinda Fugate

Dear friend, I'm here for you and praying for all the things. There might be miles between us, but I have listening ears always here for you, no matter how vague.

Samesies.

Ok, as long as we can still use it without submitting any additional info, we are good then...

Paywalled.... but concerned about our book group use.

I don't typically get news alerts on my phone, yet suddenly a notification popped up to tell me that the Melania film is doing well at the box office.

After mentally saying "sure, Jan," I remembered that Google needs to cozy up to the admin for a deal on energy for data centers. 🙄

Please share?

Also, re: previous post, yes, I have more anger at the uncountable injustices in our world right now.
Those thoughts are expressed on other platforms and in person, and there's no way to actually communicate with Google, so snarky Bluesky is the best I can do.

Hey, Google bots looking for mentions of Gmail- AI is unethical & unwanted, and forcing us to use Gemini in our emails (or turn off traditional tools like *spellcheck*) is making me consider finding a new provider (after two decades of using gmail). This post is not large enough to contain my anger.

My CA apartment had a cameo in Rain Man!

A or B for me. I get excited to see how much gift I can pack in, plus get super enthusiastic about deals.

A cozy blanket. Everyone gets cold. 😁

I *just* realized that "A Christmas Carol" is simply Scrooge fast-tracking years of therapy in one night.

We're the miracle We are God's Plan to change the world.

Why doesn't God do something about all the pain all around us?

It's us. We're the miracle.

You'll hear me say it over and over: We are God's Plan to change the world. We're God's body here on earth.

Decoupage, darn typo.

Decouoage Christmas napkin ornaments?

I understand the complexity of opinions on presidential autopen use.

But I'm more concerned about who is being pardoned and why than I am about how the document was signed.

I miss old Twitter.

I gave up on threads due to social media overload, but I've been praying for whatever life is happening for you these days and wondered how you are. 💙

My Ohio and Kentucky folks have gorgeous pics, and the best I can do from WA is one photo with some green hints in the clouds if you squint. 🤦‍♀️

Sending all the love across the miles.

Singing (though at a certain anxiety level, that's not happening), something very sensory to focus on (a good smell- bonus if attached to a good memory, sometimes listening to music, comfort food), or creating art (with focus on the process, not looking for the end result). Success varies.

The article is behind a paywall, but just based on the headline.... this is the most disgusting "shun" "unshun" "reshun" situation ever.

(Sorry to invoke Dwight Schrute in crisis.)

*whispers* I am 100% confident that you are much smarter than you think.

Well, then I'm a sexy parable about banquet invites and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

Can you imagine how many Americans could be fed and housed with $230 million?

How many attendees of the White House AI meeting in September donated to the ballroom fund?
