bluesky branding refresh unveiled

PSA: IME it's worth every penny to get the phone care plan. I got my Google Pixel phone but the case & screen protector weren't delivered yet & I had to drive to AL to care for my mom. In less than a week of having it, the screen cracked. Bc I have the care plan a new phone is already on the way!

Can I tell you about someone else whose followers included adult content creators

Sorry I can't right now, I have to ruin the workplace 💅

When I make a mistake regarding my woman owned sole proprietorship

Since this has gotten traction (it actually went mildly viral on Threads which I did not expect lol) a quick positive update: the computer company is now reaching out to FedEx to investigate, which seems to be the process that *might* actually result in me getting my computer, so I'm hopeful!

I'm helping my mom through cataract surgery recovery and I had to hit her with the "while I did work in a hospital I am still only trained to pray for you at this time" 😂

BREAKING: Judge orders Trump admin to provide full SNAP payments to states for November. Judge John McConnell (Obama) says Trump admin defied his earlier order allowing partial payment only if recipients could get that money on time

It's a big day for the Sandwich Community

Fun story: today a FedEx customer service manager yelled at me & hung up on me

FedEx just emailed me to say they have exhausted all their efforts at finding my brand new computer they incorrectly delivered and they have just.... closed the ticket. So what exactly does a person do now? I paid cash for a computer and I'm just.. not going to get it? I'm losing my mind

Watching The Purge again and it's not lost on me that this film takes place in 2022

*me watching cat play* yay he's playing with his mouse! *puts glasses on* oh it's just more trash

Hey y'all, if you have an iPhone & you've texted me recently to no reply, I didn't get your message! I got a new phone & something is messed up. I'm working on it. 😩

Let me just say this: I wouldn't trust anything you actually care about to FedEx. Period. This is not the first time this has happened to me. Also I wish y'all could have heard the tone shift when I said "the lost package is a brand new computer." Yeah so uh they better find it.

Trying to retain my Christianity while speaking with FedEx customer service about the fact that they let someone who isn't me sign for my high price package 🙃

Going through all my therapeutic workbooks to see if any of them will please assign me some hobbies help

On Tuesday I watch Dancing with the Stars and on Wednesday I watch Survivor which means on Monday and Thursday I feel lost lol

I got a brand new phone but the case hasn't come in yet so you can imagine the stress I am under

Thinking about how there was a time when the DST "extra hour" meant an extra hour of fun but now it means an extra hour of sleep

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029. The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race. Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Now that it’s finally chilly outside, the cats are becoming fluffier and these are the vibes

Yearning to be closer to the land of my people 😭

Watching Task because you know I gotta watch Mark Ruffalo in the role of a priest who left ministry to work for the FBI—this was basically written for me personally

Finishing my nighttime skin care routine by 12:30 pm might be a new record

The White House press secretary doing a “your mom” joke is a recession indicator

I missed 5 days of following online discourse which means every post I see might as well be written in Wingdings

Stuck in such bad traffic that I just turned the car off on I-65 🫠🫠🫠

Me not even noticing the AWS outage because I have been with my mom

drove past a WHY WON’T THEY RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES billboard in semi-rural Texas somewhere south of Waco

If the BLACK PHONE series progresses deeper into the '80s I would like to see a black Garfield phone.

This lioness concerns herself with actually a lot of things unfortunately

Reasons my cat is mad: I also eat dinner

If you’re not humbled by your dirty mop water, I don’t know if we can be friends

It’s called inner child work, look it up

I am once again reminding everyone not to confess your sins or share your most private desires with a company that can be subpoenaed or hacked.

I’m trying to get back into my writing practice & I’ve decided to start sharing my sermons on my Substack. If you would like to receive my writing in your e-mail inbox—sermons & other chaos—feel free to subscribe. This is the sermon I preached today. ❤️ erinjeanwarde.substack.com/p/pilgrimage...

I’m about 5 minutes into watching Somebody Somewhere for the first time and I have already cried and laughed, it’s very tender for me given my sister’s death, but it feels like it might be the right time for this specific mix of laughing and crying

Diane Keaton 😭

Time to do one of the hardest things I routinely do (dye my hair)

I have decided out of respect and love for my city I will be watching 9-1-1: Nashville #911Nashville

AI could never learn to write “lolsob” on all my posts

It’s so extremely Southern that Dolly basically got put on a prayer list and days later had to do an “I’m not dead yet!” to let the international news know that she was not on death’s door
