I have a very small achievable goal, all money goes towards renting locations, special effects make up and gore, gas and food for everyone on set on any given day

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

The fact that I still insist on having a five-year-plan is very funny and adorable to me, but without it I will go batshit crazy and possibly turn into a pile of dust.

Every time, EVERY time, I have a day that is a mix of good and bad events, I say to myself "It comes with a free fro-gurt! But the fro-gurt is CURSED!"

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

CNN accidentally makes important news and then censors it.

Good job, free press!

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

My next SSDI check is almost here but until then I am in the red and hungry and desperate, please help or share if you can, thank you <3 <3 <3

Ben Wrex 🏴 @benwrex.bsky.social · 25d

Not to sound desperate, but I am! My fundraiser seems to have stalled, we've made it to $155 (thank you!) but I'm still needing lots of supplies and I'm also fully out of money and actually in the negative currently and in need of groceries until my next SSDI check comes in. Please share, thank u <3
