Nothing like being awoken at 5am to the dulcet sounds of "hurk hurt hurk" as your cat threatens to vomit on you.

When you have adhd and your doctor is 6 minutes late (so far) calling you and you can't focus on anything because it's just going to get interrupted as soon as you lock in so you just sit there staring at your phone

When my pro controller was drifting, I opened it up, cleaned out the pet fur that had accumulated, and it helped a lot fwiw!

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

My unpopular food opinion is that mashed potatoes with the skin left on tastes superior to mashed potatoes that have been peeled.

my therapist: sometimes you simply have to experience an emotion instead of thinking about it
me, nodding sagely: and then it goes away
therapist: well not necessarily
me, shaking my head furiously: no, I don't like that

Kendra, regular version @kendrawcandraw.bsky.social · 2d

Me: I just don't understand why I can't just out-think my anxiety and emotions and simply react and respond in the most ideal way every single time and never feel bad

If a ceasefire holds, you boycott Israel HARDER, you divest, you push for sanctions. You don't perform for apartheid. You don't whitewash genocide. You don't pretend like Israel isn't still a violent occupier stealing land and collectively punishing Palestinians daily

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

The holidays are coming up, if you're thinking about shopping small businesses for gifts, it's a great time to start that ^^ Especially for us in Canada, with Canada Post returning to rotating strikes, there may be delays.
Here's a pack of Canadian Small Businesses!

Why is a class action lawsuit against Amazon alleging Prime Day is a scam getting zero coverage by mainstream media?

Could it be because media outlets get a cut when a customer purchases a Prime Day product when clicking through their featured deals?

h/t @juddlegum.bsky.social

UPDATE: Lawsuit alleges Prime Day is a fraud

The federal class action lawsuit has been ignored by major media outlets, which continue to promote Prime Day deals.
