Well, I ended up leaving. I just stopped taking a new medication after it started making things worse a few weeks in, so I quit taking it and told my doctor. Medication won’t fix natural healthy anxiety responses, it will only exacerbate it.

Going to work right now feels like consciously scraping my knee repeatedly.

When the new terms and conditions popped up I just closed the app and opened up this one.

Cities Church (St. Paul) has ties to both Christian nationalist Doug Wilson and neo-Calvinist John Piper.

Happening now: a large group of mostly clergy — primarily local faith leaders, some not — are staging an anti-ICE protest at the Minneapolis airport.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

ICE is now operating on public school property in Minnesota. Recently, ICE goons were caught attempting to sneak into Columbia Heights High School. Fortunately, the administration was able to force them to leave. (1/22/26)

Highlights from Jack Smith’s testimony

Jack Smith: "The people who assaulted police officers and were convicted after trial in my view and I think in the view of the judges who sentenced them to prison are dangerous to their community. Some of these people have already committed crimes against their communities again."

ICE/Border Patrol agents are now hitting unaccompanied minors with their vehicles, detaining and disappearing them, even after being shown a U.S. passport.

Just overheard one of my flight attendants say “People who fly delta are nice cause they got a little bit of money.” Ew. Like what a gross sentiment.

The worst part of doing OSHA training right now is that once the government collapses I will have to do this again in the new governments version of it.

I saw a video talking about how they thought someone had an LVAD which I had never heard of before, so I looked it up. It is like a pump for when your heart goes bad that runs off batteries. So naturally I am curious, if someone who had a heart pump died, would they get rigor mortis?

I’m about to fly back from an interview and overheard one of the people from the group of young adults saying “I just have a fear of southerners” and honestly, fair.

My super powered mower days were coming to a close already, but they were cut short. Damn you silver oil. I know it’s my fault, and was a stupid mistake, but still… sucks.

This year, I went to crank it up, and it had some issues. So I checked the oil… shoulda done that first. Then I put oil in it. Then it cranked real easy. Today I was ready to tear apart the engine to fix it. But I checked the oil first this time. The oil was silver.

So, a couple years back, I bought an engine for super cheap from where I worked cause it was excess. It’s a very nice engine and I slapped it on a riding mower that my dad gave to me cause it was broken. I fixed it up, and for 2 years, I had an overpowered mower.

All that being said, I still have it pretty good. I have been able to spend time with my parents, I saved enough to not be completely ruined by this, and my current location is pretty safe. Doesn’t mean that stuff doesn’t suck, because stuff definitely sucks. But I’ll take the tiny wins too.

I’m trying to move to a trans friendly state, so I quit my job. While moving stuff, I learned I had to replace the roof of the house. Then the A/C stopped working. Then my relationship ended. Then my car stopped working. Then the water heater sprung a leak. Then my lawn mower stopped working.

Skylight social is the #2 app in entertainment on the App Store!! You all did this!!! Thank you!!!!

Also, in a complete vacuum there are particles that blip in and out of existence! So contrary to what was previously thought, science supports nothing from something on at least the quantum scale.

Heard back on my car, and had a job interview. At least there was good news from one.

I’m not magically invisible lol

This is awesome! Super excited to see how it grows!

Hopefully this app won’t be needed, but always good to have a backup!

Been riding that “I will figure things out” line a bit hard I think. Guess I’ll keep fucking around till I find out.

I’m tired of looking for jobs. Like, the country is walking towards the edge of a cliff, or possibly already free falling, and I am trying to give up the freedom I have for paper that will be worthless soon? But, thats if they hire me…

I got my cats moved! Had to take them to the vet because one gets car sick and needed meds for the trip, but having them makes it easier to take the next step.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.
