Since no one took advantage of this awesome special yesterday, I’m making it good through today!

My coworker told me yesterday that some feds are being told they have to go work for ICE or get RIFed and I spent like 20 minutes daydreaming about all the chaos I could cause through petty incompetence before they fired me.

Call the White House and your members of Congress with this brilliant idea to protect the people's travel? Shut down the 12% of air travel that takes place in private jets--not the rest of our flights! Let them fly commercial so we can all reach our destinations!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I have an ENT appointment tomorrow. Going to see if there's any chance they have the covid vaccine. If not, will get mine this weekend. Already got the Flue shot from my PCP.

What?

Okay. So. If you commission an art piece from me in the next few days, and pay at least a deposit up front (let's say 50% deposit), I will guarantee you that I'll get it done by Christmas (or your December date of choice) genuinesnips.art/commissions/

"You will see mass chaos. You will see mass flight delays. You'll see mass cancellations, and you may see us close certain parts of the airspace," U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says in full story here: https://www.wbaltv.com/article/government-shutdown-air-traffic-chaos/69263525 

Saw joybird was having a sale so decided to look and see of slipcovers were still outrageously expensive. And yes, I am stuck with a beige couch unless I learn to see. Because for the price of an on sale slipcover, I could buy a new couch.

Apparently, this morning is for hope scrolling.

Waiting (very patiently, truly) to get in person, but REALLY happy about the wycinanki commission from @actualkatherine.bsky.social for my mom of her beloved cat. (I like this particular photo of it because artist’s hands! And MOAR BOOKS! Which is on brand for my family.) The Art & The Inspiration.

Four packages (that’s the single digit - 4) cost me $225 yesterday. That is *insane*. I have really, really not wanted to edit my shipping prices but…yikes. It’s all that I had & I want to make another post office run this week. It’s scary.

Worked out yesterday, and I can't tell if my nose is more swollen today or if it's just me being hyper aware of it. But I will not be working out today. Will try again tomorrow. Was excited to get back into it. But also, I dont want to impede the healing of my nose.

If the threat of disruption to Thanksgiving travel doesn't end this shutdown, it goes til January. That's my prediction.

I have invested too much time and money in my brain to let my inherent clusiness and the terrible state of Baltimore's streets and sidewalks mess with it. Helmets are cool.

The first billboard charting AI singer is a fake Black woman. No, dont let AI chart. Also, give that record deal to a real life Black woman. What the fuck?

More excited that we have an openly gay Sexiest Man Alive from people than I have ever been about a selection. Good work, People. Jonathan Bailey is indeed swoon worthy.

The best part about having an old dog who is not food motivated is that daylight savings time is just another day, and he was not bothered at all. Food wasn't late. In fact, he still had some kibble left from the breakfast he did not finish.

Rode the Guilford Ave Bike lane to connect to the MD Ave one yesterday, and it was great. Very protected. Good work, Baltimore DOT.

Did I just buy a really cute pair of heavily discounted booties because I dream that I will be able to wear a boot with a medium heel again? Yes. Hope springs eternal.

Austerity isn't governance. Stop writing fawning news articles about tough choices and how they're bearing up under the heavy burden of leadership. Budgets are moral documents and shortfalls are the consequences of choices made to shore up a few folks and leave the rest of us out in the cold.

it gets tiring to keep explaining what it means to be poor to people. it is not that poor people don’t know that cooking is cheaper: cooking costs time. it costs pots and pans. it costs a working stove and your utilities on. it costs you’ve been on your feet all day and your babies are tired.

Had a mini freak out over a zombie trauma last night, and then Ernie peed in the bed, so I had to walk him, change the sheets, and start a load of laundry at 2:30. Not the best night.

Last print I have (only made two) from Yellowstone, another piece from my Polaroid “Aged” series. Get it framed tonight & I’ll take $20 off! www.sol-exposure.com/product/yell...

So the Mandela effect that makes me most believe I have jumped timelines is that Michelangelo's David has heart pupils. And I went to Italy and saw David as a teen, and I feel like i would have remembered that. Because there were depictions of David everywhere.

What's your preferred multi-surface cleaner? I use 409 but realized it's because I bought it once, and it seemed fine, so I kept buying it. But is there a better one that I'm sleeping on?

Sometimes I think maybe I sharpen my chefs knife too much. But no, if it it starts to feel a little dull, I will sharpen it mid meal prep, even when I sharpen it at the beginning, because I am not here to work hard to chop up squash. I think most people do not sharpen their knives enough.

Yes, I fucking will! I did not grow up in a suburban wasteland or go to a segregation academy and as a middle aged qhote woman I need to make that known.

Tell me your parents grew up in the city, but you grew up in the county in one sentence.

Today is my last day to make the rest of what I need for rent. I need to sell at least 6 framed pieces to have it. All the fingers & paws are crossed! <3

I WANT MY TAX MONEY PAYING FOR KIDS TO EAT LOBSTER AND STEAK AND COOKIES, NOT PAYING TO BOMB PALESTINIAN AND SUDANESE KIDS AND INVADING VENEZUELA.

Fall in the Bitterroot Pt 4

Is the Witcher's wig budget less than a Tyler Perry production? Because wow, its so bad.

Liam Hemsworth is a fine Witcher but he lacks the absolute romantasy coded need power or Henry Cavill. And he also doesn't have big enough thighs.

I throw away all my mail from BCBS so I have no idea how much my premiums are going up but I have no incentive to add stress to my life and look it up. Weeee!

Just thinking about how bleak it is that some many federal workers need financial assistance after missing 1.3 paychecks. Like this a class of people who have generally stable jobs and decent to good benefits and they dont have savings. Terrifying.

Had a really good therapy session today which made me feel like I'm actually pretty well adjusted and doing pretty well at life. Which is nice because you never know when a session will just wreck you.

I thought my pitcher plant was dying, but I think they just get really viney. So I will be attempting to propagate it this weekend.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

The male loneliness epidemic is so crazy to me because the bar to impress women is so low. I literally texted my sister about a guy making a reservation and sending me a calendar invite. I mean, l love a calendar invite. But its just not that hard.

If you live in Baltimore and need food for your pet, the SPCA can help out. mdspca.org/kibble-conne...

Still offering, at least for tonight, buy 2 prints, pick out a 3rd on me. That’s a $60 savings! So great for giving a gift. And here, not only will you be helping me make rent, bonus puppy pics:

I might be the oy millennial excited to get my parents' china because I plan to use it as my everyday plates and get rid of my old, ugly plates.

This article made me tear up because good news is so sparse. But also sad because the grants are being held up to by this stupid administration.

I hate living in a society that makes mutual aid necessary for so many people to survive. But I try to give, buy products, help regularly. But until I get another paycheck, I just dont feel like I can. And that sucks because so many people are sufferings.

If anyone doesn't have MS office and is looking for a deal. You can get it for $18 now with Groupon. I just bought it but it takes a minute to process. But thought I'd share. www.groupon.com/deals/micros...

I’ve got just 4 days left to sell at least 11 framed pieces to have what I need for rent. I have the “hare” painting available at name your own price! Huge thank you to all who have shared & offered encouraging words (I really need them right now).

If consumer protection is ever a thing again, they should require clear markings when the thing you’re about to buy requires a subscription service to function.
