Little update. Mostly been off bsky coz I've had some complications involving fevers, bleeding. It's been a rough six weeks, physically, mentally, emotionally. Would have liked to have rested but I gotta pay for the hospital bills and various tests and medications. Anything you can spare will help.

Hi all; I'm going to undergo a significant procedure later this year (sorry, would rather not disclose) and my husband's health insurance doesn't cover it. We're going to need funds for the care during and after. Any help would be much appreciated:

Not shocked or surprised by the hate, or the texts. Not even surprised by how long it has been going on. I am surprised that it leaked after all this time. Seemed like something they wanted to go on for years and if not for the leak, it would have.

Joe Maligno (“Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don’t fit the Hitler aesthetic,”) is listed as assoc. attorney to Staten Island Civil Court Judge Mary Kavanagh, a fellow member of Staten Island Young Republicans.

Noone appearing before her can expect a fair hearing. She should resign.

Good lord. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that Young Republican Anne Kaykaty is a school counselor?!

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men.
Studio executives, so many people.
After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her.
What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill

I was like, you must be falling asleep if you think Pooh is in Mayberry. Technically, he is 🤣

Laying in bed, tv is on & playing the Andy Griffith Show. I keeping hearing Winnie the Pooh interacting w/Andy & Barney. I figured I’m dozing, so it’s time to turn the tv off. I sit up to turn it off & realize Sterling Holloway, the voice of Pooh, is on this episode. Thought I was trippin’ 🤣
