I usually like to read for a bit before bed. But I feel like I never have enough of that kind of time in the day. Lately, I've been reading an anthology book of Xena: Warrior Princess stories.

Have an excellent rest of your Thursday!

If you think prices will go back down once Trump lifts his tariffs then you don’t understand capitalism and the corporate greed and consumer exploitation that kept prices high after Covid.

The Trump Tax Hike is permanent.

Fucked up so hard getting to group tonight. Thought I'd found a new way to get there, but I just typed the address in wrong to Maps. 40 minutes late, but at least was able to get dinner. Next month, I'll just take the same way that I did last time.
