No, thank YOU, Sarah! Super excited to put this under the tree.
Photo of a 2026 calendar laying on top of its mailing envelope. The mailing label is decorated with multicolored hearts. The cover of the calendar features a lizard-like reptile--We'll just have to wait for the appropriate month to find out what the lizard-like reptile is.--resting on a mushroom with the number 2026 looming behind it. The text just under the 2 in 2026 reads, "Love notes from nature calendar". The text in the lower right of the cover reads, "Created by Lemieur & Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D." A square of blue paper sits in the lower corner of the calendar. A hand-written note on it reads, "Thank you!! [heart] Sarah". An illustration of a pigeon holding a large manila envelope with its beak is printed on the lower right corner of the blue paper. The message, "For You is printed on the envelope in the pigeons beak.

I do not own a cat. They do not know that, and believe I belong to them.

I'd be lyin' if I said I didn't like this song. I remember when the rooftop happened. Didn't live in L.A. anymore, but was still in So. Cal. Everyone was blathering on about it. The scene in the video of the two people standing on a fire escape and looking on is etched in to my brain.
Screenshot from the rooftop video of U2's song, "Where The Streets Have No Name". It shows two men standing on a fire escape looking down. I'd also be lyin' if I said this didn't make me cry right now.

@support.bsky.team You changed the CSS for videos, and my CSS no longer set the opacity so I don't have to be caught by triggering images I don't want to see.

Potential deal breaker if I can't set opacity. Too many traumatizing video posters I can't block.
Screenshot of some CSS code to set the opacity on video containers to .01, then to 1 on hover.

Spent the night in my car at a highway rest area again. Slept here last night and will probably be here again tomorrow (tonight?) night. It's cozy and I'm plenty warm. I'm a lot less stressed out sleeping here versus in my bed at my friends house. 1/

I seriously hope this attempt to use a U.S. federal website doesn't fuck up my #SocialSecurity These fucking dickheads can't even manage the government like a business. Imagine the fury if a corporate website couldn't function correctly.

Fucking assholes.

@governorferguson.bsky.social You do remember that, don't you, and saying you were open to other tax proposals? Proposals impacting those already struggling versus just making the very rich just a little less rich?
Screenshot from KOMO News (Owned and operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group.) on 1 April, 2025, which reads: SEATTLE — Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson said Tuesday he would veto any spending package with a wealth tax, but may have simultaneously opened the door for other tax proposals to fill what he said was a $16 billion gap in state spending. “Neither budget is close to one that I can sign,” Ferguson said during a press conference Tuesday afternoon. “If the legislature wishes to complete our work on time, they need to immediately move the budget discussion in a significantly different direction.” Ferguson said the wealth tax on high earners and their assets would likely be challenged in court, is difficult to enforce, and has failed in other countries. House and Senate Democrats have suggested it could make up to $4 billion for the state as a way to cut the budget gap.

Welp, there's my answer, I guess.

A shame I didn't think to record their username.

As I've said, I don't know everything. You came at me, so if you want to make a point, show me your data. [Blocked] Me: You don't read people's timelines much do you? Just go for the quick jab, huh?

Welcome to my next four and a half hours of ad free podcast fun. I refuse to tolerate advertising. I'm not going to buy anything I don't need, and podcast ads never pitch thrift store inventory. So, I use FOSS software to edit them out of shows to which I can't afford to subscribe.

"Under capitalism, it's normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich - not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane."
