After doing some digging into Stripe online support, I found out how to delete my Link account (which I didn't know I had.) Turns out Link is the payment system for Spring by Amaze (formerly Tee Spring). Isn't that the cursed site where BraverMountain had merch?

Early this morning, I got a text message with a verification code for Link...which is apparently connected to Stripe payment processing. This indicates an accout has been hacked, but how do I figure out which merchant it is?

#DelightOfTheDay Student council is still counting $ raised for my outdoor rec project! They are changing the giant check presentation from the pep fest (which I was going to attend) to the football game (which I am not attending.) Two other members of my team will represent us. #introvert

Perk of watching hockey on a streaming service: no political ads!!!

You have to buy a Wild+ subscription to watch #MNWild hockey. That's annoying!

#Uglydogs I admire the group effort to continue the jokes and gain as much humor as possible from a poop bag that was accidentally flung into a tree. I bet even @muppybean.bsky.social is laughing on the inside.

Keep choosing the life you fought so hard to build. Keep moving towards the light that brings you joy. If you stumble, remember that one difficult day doesn't erase how far you've come.. Keep on scooting.

#DelightOfTheDay 1. I love Chobani and their culture (pun not intended) 2. Vanilla mango passionfruit! OMG this is so good!

A container of Chobani yogurt. It says Refugee Support Batch across the top. The flavor is vanilla Greek yogurt with mango and passion fruit.

I got to meet an alpaca named Holly. She was at a busy senior expo. So chill. Just let everyone pet her and take photos. 😂

I was leaning over rolling up the hose after watering my plants. I stood up and the hummingbird buzzed so close her wings made a draft on my ear! She's still around!

Ok BS - how do you spell that orange root that reduces inflammation? It starts with tu...what's the next letter? I am freaking out because either they changed the spelling or I have been spelling it wrong my whole life!

When I say let me know your plans - this or that.... "yes" is not an answer. I'm inclined to answer on your behalf. *whispers* Probably no.

Our High School Student Council and Homecoming Court are raising money for my outdoor recreation project. We want to add a Gaga Ball Pit. For the one that looks the most durable, you buy these heavy duty steel brackets and then purchase 2x10s to build the pit.

It was a stressful, frustrating week where people not doing their jobs made a mess that I had to work through to get my job done. But coming home to this little critter who wanted to snuggle in for a nap made me slow down and relax. 140 kids take their ACT tests under my watch tomorrow. 🤞

I have another bird related #DelightOfTheDay This guy was hunting in the retaining pond next to our parking lot.

A great blue Heron that blends in with the tall grasses at the far edge of a small water retention pond. The surface of the water is very calm and reflects the sky and green grasses that grow on the banks.

Borb. She sits on the shepards hook and chases the other hummingbird away from the salvia. Bossy little bugger. #DelightOfTheDay

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.

Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

If you had $10,000-$20,000 - what would you add to a green space near a school? Think free, fun recreation for kids... We have basketball courts and disc golf. A gaga ball pit is coming soon. Sand Volleyball just got vetoed. What else?

A park bench inside a chain link fenced area that contains a basketball court. A disc golf basket is visible on the other side of the fence.
