Coretobearfest! 🎃 🌈

And what’s worse is that it feels like the few benefits you are able to access are fewer and fewer. 😢 I hope you’re hanging in there, Birdy.

Well, my hope is that you don’t get two or three abreast when walking. That happens a bit with me. If I’m behind s/b and they block me, I drift to one side… which oddly makes them drift too. Then I cut around them. Walking towards sb, I stare at them eyes locked. Both of these work 90%.

Y me gustáis muchísimo. ☺️

The tricks I as a Black man (who doesn’t walk as fast as the Gay Standard) have to use to walk without being bullied off the pavement and into the street…

Same.

Oh lordy. 🥵 🤤 🥹

Thank you for this. 😌

🤗

🥵 🤤

Thank you!

If the patterning were a bit better, I definitely think the judges would have given her “safe”: the green was outrageously nice and the velveteen is a lush fabric. I actually thought two others were worse: blue crafty girl (ehh) and the Snakeprint Delusion. 😞

They match the shorts in part! Nice!

I have gone to a middle ground: if I like someone after streaming, I’ll buy the physical media (or a digital copy, or both). I can’t do it for everyone but where I can pinch the pennies together…

It’s my compromise.

The departing queen had issues, and I say this as a person with no rhythm and no right feet. Sad to see her go, but…

As much as Spoopify has leadership problems and equity problems with stream pays, I still have it; there’s still music that Tidal doesn’t, and I have Tidal because it pays more per stream and has some songs Spotty doesn’t.

My take is to be as equitable under this system as able.

My biggest con for Apple Music will always be an issue that may still exist: I have digital copies of music that are different from streamed copies, and I have read and heard too many stories of people’s music files being overwritten by Apple matches. Some files are hard to replace.

Inflation, I tell you.

Ooh hello! ☺️

Ironic that I had to tend to a literal leak. I am willing to see if I can “fix” your tap. 😈

I both agree with your first statement (the brackets need to be set at a higher outset, zero tax below 50k) and I add that there need to be more of them. The fewer brackets make it more unfair at the bottom of the scale. That’s what a progressive tax is supposed to be.

Oh dear. In the alternative, I hope it passes quickly enough. Hugs.

You partially inspired it, so… 🥹

Head bouncer at a biker bar, but who not so secretly like rom coms.

This is sad for many reasons, and yet ironically for me it will lower my tax brackets because my AGI will go down from Tax Year 2024. 🙃

There’s an alternate one… for Friday. 😇

That one is definitely on the list.

Ugh. 😣 Hoping it’s a mild case.

😁 💃🏾

I’m very sorry. 😞

That looks positively beautiful. 🌅

I thought the Master Hudson’s Blog Company closed all its stores in Canada.

Thank you, Babygirl. 🥰 I hope you’re enjoying your holiday!
