Zelle outage impacting some customers trying to pay rent Zelle reported an outage Friday with the money transferring network, impacting many bank customers trying to make payments.

Many news reports of a Zelle outage today. The agency in charge of helping consumers navigate an outage like this, and holding the firm accountable is us: the CFPB.

Yet, Trump and Russell Vought are still trying in court to illegally shut us down.

CNN: I want to share the concern of dock workers. The Int'l Longshore and Warehouse Union released a statement saying trade policies shouldn't be dictated by "a president's whims"

CHAVEZ-DeREMER: That quote sounded exactly in line with the president

CNN: They're criticizing him

a psa for those who need it:

For over a year, I’ve been avoiding a medical test. I finally bit the bullet and got it done today. I was in and out in 18 minutes with my results by mid-afternoon. It was so damn easy and I’m kicking myself for waiting so long.

Yes, everything is terrible but I have finally finalized my cart for the Sephora sale. Please clap.

Is this Bluesky appropriate?

Having to put your pet to sleep is so effing weird. Every single day I feed her and greet her and then I’m supposed to let her die?!? Wtf.

📺Looking forward to joining @bloomberg.com Surveillance tomorrow morning as the Trump admin's steel & aluminum tariffs kick in and markets wrestle with increased economic uncertainty. Tune in!

On top of everything else happening right now, I have to put my cat down on Friday. So! That’s a fun development!🙃

The current political climate is such that today, when I went to get a medication adjustment, my psych spent 20 minutes grilling me about tariffs.

I just wanted to change my Adderall script and instead I did a whole presentation on the U.S. economy.🫠

WEAR SUNSCREEN.

Black DOES crack under excessive UV rays/sun exposure 🤨

Feels like just last year USTR was having productive discussions with counterparts in MX and Canada, making good use of the rapid response mechanism, expanding market access, and protecting workers across North America.

Probably because it WAS just last year.

ariana grande in blush Schiaparelli on the oscars red carpet. it has a strapless fitted bodice with a formed and flared piece around the hips and a flowy sparkly long skirt. all it’s missing is its own little soundtrack.

if anyone's music box is missing the ballerina, I think I found her #oscars

Oh my God.

Yay! 🥂Congrats on making such a big leap. I’m excited to follow along.

🎶I’m stronger
I’m wiser

Harriet the Spy and Enemy of the State are two of my favorite films. I’m really going through it right now.

Must watch Runaway Jury and Enemy of the State tonight. Two of my favorite Gene Hackman performances.

Obsessed with this place.

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

Love. Perfect! Sorry for intruding! Carry on with your new nails.

Ok, so, I know you didn’t ask but my recommendation: do gel for a month then switch back to natural for a bit. The gel process can sometimes weaken nails. Use CND solar oil and OPI Nail Envy. Ok, bye.

A brilliant beautiful woman until her last days. May she rest well 💜

Here we are.

Oh hey…

A fired national park ranger lost his dream job. He says the public is losing more Brian Gibbs was an environmental educator at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa. His job was among those nixed by the Trump administration as it pushes to shrink federal spending.

This is reckless.

Park rangers and staff are incredibly important. They serve the families who visit and our parks in turn support more jobs in the outdoor economy in New Mexico and across the country.

I love you!

Me, an early aughts blogger: heavy on the unedited ramblings. It was literally word vomit five to seven times a week and it was glorious.
