I wouldn't be living here if I didn't believe that was the case, the battle most definitely isn't lost and we've just gotta keep fighting for it. Fact is that there are just *so* many Americans I know that are some of the best people I've ever met, I'd love the country to be that way.

Plus the bonus was we had Biden's message at my Naturalization ceremony, it was super heartwarming and actually had us in tears~ The absolute welcome he showed and gratitude he showed immigrants for choosing the US, man, we need more of that. ;w;

Notice how they also brag about the number of naturalizations having plummeted; a sign of how much they detest legal immigration. /also, the removals number is largely fake. The actual number is 650-700k.

...not to mention all the other shit ugh...makes me want to puke.

Celebrating a 75% reductions in naturalizations is quite frankly extremely un-American. If anyone gave a shit, last I remember this was a country of immigrants. Fucking vile administration, they can go fuck themselves.

Here's an oddity for your enjoyment! Some footage from Anthrocon 2006, taken using (what was then) my 16mm cine camera. If I remember correctly, it was Kodak Vision2 200T. The camera used was a Krasnogorsk-3 (4:3 aspect ratio) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krasnog...

Gosh I love being gay dogs with you <3333

Gotta find things you love and cherish them, it's so, so important these days. Friends too, friends are awesome. So too is my husband, I love him to bits. <3

It's easy to get sucked into the enshittifying AI hellscape, but there's some more recent tech developments I just love -VRChat and Resonite, being able to be an actual breathing dog on the internet is freaking amazing. 3D Printing is so cool and so too are is the new hardware/apps for old computers

BlueSky, I have seen this post like 9 times today, I'm pretty sure I've 'discovered' it by now :U

If it’s confirmed lost then yeah they should be sending me a check for the whole lot. The buyer will get refunded, but I won’t be out of pocket. As a bonus it’ll actually work out in my favor, because with a refund, so too are eBay fees refunded. So I’d net an extra $400 or so.

For sure, no way in heck am I gonna gamble on a shipment that much, the insurance was $50, so well spent imo.

First item I have sold on eBay in over 10 years and it looks like USPS has lost it. Thank fuck it was insured, was worth over $3k xwx But damn, what are the odds?

FLSA Salary Exempt positions should like, not be a thing. People should be paid for every second they work.

Oh damn, that's an older bird, I remember that instrument panel from Flight Sim 2000/2002, is that a 737-400 by any chance?

This was one of my favorite phones, I had the O2 XDA Exec back in the day. It needs a new battery but gosh heck did I love this thing! It look so nice in black with the blue LED backlit keyboard.

Brains are strange things, it both fights me on exercise, yet I know just how much better I feel after doing it. It might not be much, 30 mins on a treadmill and 20 minutes of dumbbells, but it does help the brain juices. ….also helps some other juices too. Hahah

Explaining the current economic situation be like to my UK family about stuff in the US/Canada: Fam: “What happens when people’s unemployment runs out?” Me: “They draw on savings, retirement, or go homeless” And they be like WTF. There’s no housing benefit here. :U

Thanks! Hoping so too, very excited for it tbh.

Yeah, my email is a freakin’ mess, I dare not enable notifs on that, my phone wouldn’t stop going off. Haven’t looked into it just doing a push notif for just one sender tho, I dunno if Outlook will do that. >.>

Checking my email obsessively for the invite to buy augh...I hope they don't make us wait too long for it. Knowing me, I'll space it and miss the email. Dx

Swapped two 100uF caps on this PowerBook 500 series power supply and we’re back in action. Can finally use my PowerBook 540c again!

Gift from my fiancée, a super aesthetic 1980s Zenith FM/AM/Cassette stereo. Need to test the cassette deck, but it’s fully functional otherwise and in amazing shape.
