Old friend emailed me. Obviously them, not a stolen account. Replying gets me "550 no mailbox by that name is currently available".

How the fuck do I troubleshoot this

Gonna download that ASAP, before I find out literally a single thing about it. Which is apparently now my favorite thing to do.

Adding Banshees of Inisherin to the list of movies I'd be too sad to watch again

Like Dancer in the Dark, or Eternal Sunshine. Neither of which I remember, but I definitely thought that.

$450 left to go. This is doable.
Even small amounts (the cost of a cup of coffee) add up.

Doctor comes into the room looking and sounding sick as hell and apologizes for her allergies. She put on a mask when I asked, which is cool. We spent 45 minutes in a tiny room.

Gaza is going through heavy shelling right now, and on top of that, Nurse Hammam and his little brother Abood, who is autistic, are homeless and sheltering in an unsanitary tent. Please give if you can and share — any little amount helps:

Safety for Ruaa | Instagram | Linktree Ruaa is a young woman supporting her family of 7. She is entirely reliant on our help, so we’re stepping up.

Ruaa is permanently banned from bsky, which means her mother’s severe injury is going without sufficient care.

We’re trying to change this equation througj recurring help. Can you click “monthly” on a coffee so her survival doesn’t depend on visibility?

Too much stuff in my Long Covid feed includes images without alt text.

My friends.

I cannot believe I have to say this.

As members of the disability community trying to do disability justice work, you must use alt text.

No excuses.
