does anyone know why there are a dozen or so people riding horses down Minnehaha parkway? A couple of them looked like they could be cops but the rest very much did not.

I have only about 200 of this which leaves about 3.1k and need to knock as much of this out before court on the 16th so I don't lose my housing.

Okay somewhat decent news.
I actually only owe 3.3k in total and they said they're going to let the courts know I've made payments and we will reach on some kind of payment plan.
So still urgent but slightly less urgent

Well just when I was feeling okay, I got the court hearing notice that I have to pay $5.7k in order to keep my home (not including what I owe already and paid today).

Here's the proof and court is the 16th of October.

I need so much more help than I realized.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

While providing tech support for my FIL:

FIL: What's that screen?

ME: The terminal. You should never use it.

FIL: Never?

ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself?

FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

The other day I was at Costco (my beloved) and the guy ahead of me in line had on one of those Gecko shirts from the 90s and Dear Reader, I was so jealous I could spit. You know how bad I wanted that?? And @caztastrophe.bsky.social has perfectly captured that www.peculiarityshop.com/product-page...
