I miss the days where I could post that I slipped on a soapy water suds storm in the kitchen, and complete strangers on Twitter would respond with 50 gifs of people on a slip-and-slide.

Watching a bunch of YouTube shorts and TikTok vids really shows you: A - how many people think they can vs. how many actually can and B - how much an interesting story concept can override pt. A.

Ugh! I forgot to update my phone number in my Amazon / KDP account, and now I can't even access my dashboard. I can't receive texts on a phone that no longer exists. I've uploaded an ID photo (sensitive info redacted), so hopefully it'll unlock soon.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

When I was a Jr/Sr in high school, my grandma went on strike, and refused to cook, so we all went to a buffet. "Cooking" meant going to Luby's and reheating the prepped meals, which my grandfather picked-up. He also cooked the sides. She just didn't want us in the house, I think.

Government workers 👇🏾

Lunch is on the house:

Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fútbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

If the school truly thought the kid "had possession" of a firearm, and could prove it, the kid would have been arrested. They didn't do that because they're lying about this requiring punishment. He made them look bad, and they're embarrassed, so they punish him.

Here is my entry for the @augursociety.bsky.social Microfiction contest: The Sudden Cancellation of Breakfast Plans 🥞💔 #AugurMicros2025

The Sudden Cancellation of Breakfast Plans
by Sage Collins

Zima's left a message on our room's screen to greet me when I wake up.

I don't care where we end up.
They say the journey's more important, anyway.
That may be true,
But as we voyage the stars,
At the end, I hope we'll have
Waffles for breakfast.

For months, we've looked forward to returning home after our endless trek across the galaxy. Every morning, she imagines a new breakfast food we'll enjoy.

I dress and join her at the cockpit. She's staring forlornly at the rocks floating where a planet should be.

"Guess we're not having waffles today."

While we have the sale going on, I want to remind folks that I have custom designed med organizers for insulin/glp-1s! There are a few types. This one is my favorite, which I use! It's great for multi-use pens & keeping needles & swabs with them! thebrokencircle.etsy.com?etsrc=sdt&re...

All four pictures show various colors of the organizer! It has a place on the left to hold an injection pen, and two cubbies on the right sized for alcohol swabs and needles. This one is a pastel rainbow.

This one is sparkle space bisexual vibes!

This is in a very cool sparkle galaxy black.

This one is a tricolor so it's various shades of red, magenta, or orange depending on which way you turn it

The Toxic Avenger is clearing medical debt as marketing for the movie.

The Toxic Avenger had his life upended by unexpected medical debt.
So, instead i another big marketing stunt to promote the movie, Cineverse has partnered with ational nonprofit Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5M in medical debt for those families least able to pay.
AND... for every $1M The Toxic Avenger makes at the box office, we'll erase another $1M.
ogether, we can reduce the burden medical debt. Because we only need one Toxic Avenger.

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.
