Shit my husband hears at work #5: "All the food and water we are drinking now is turning our blood acidic... And cancer thrives in an acidic environment... If you eat good, clean, fresh food, it won't make your blood acidic and you can't get cancer." (From a man currently eating take out pizza.)

Hey #booksky There isn't a website that lists as many novels, novellas, and short stories as possible in order to answer whether something is smut, porn, or neither, is there? There should be. It would make my life easier right now.

Split Fiction is super fun. More action and fewer puzzles than It Takes Two, but very fun.

A few days ago, my husband and I were talking about jury duty. He mentioned only having been summoned once. The next day, we received a summons for him for next month. He blames me for bringing it up.

Use FreeTaxUSA to do your federal taxes if Musk and his team of children keep messing around with the IRS site. FTUSA is free for federal returns. Don't use TurboTax/CashApp/Credit Karma out of frustration! They're the reason our taxes are such a hassle.

Fixing my Plex libraries is not nearly as effective at minimizing doom scrolling as organizing my audiobooks was. It's harder on my wrist, and there are way too many opportunities to pause without getting confused. Can't get back to the books until this is finished, though. Bleh.

Priced out the mini PC option. Everything exactly as I want it, today prices, $550 not including any new HDDs. Minimum, $300. Definitely the more cost-effective option, but severely limits capabilities. Not looking forward to seeing what the tarrifs are going to do to these prices. #ihateithere

Like like the rebuild option would run about $900 (plus some shipping because Newegg hates Alaska) if the m.2 replacement doesn't work. Ideal machine? No. Solid upgrade from the current 6+ year old rig? Definitely.

Oh great. My PC blue screened and doesn't recognize my m.2 boot drive anymore. This is either a $200 fix, a complete rebuild, or a $600 switch to a mini PC + 5 bay HDD enclosure. No access to shows or movies until it's fixed. At least most of my audiobooks are in the cloud...

So next week congress is dusting off its voter suppression SAVE act again. Which will disenfranchise millions of voters and ensure no one but republicans win in the future. If there ever was a time to bug your congressman now is the time.

If you're feeling despair it's because you have a moral compass. It means you're not empty on the inside - that you nurse hope and a sense of justice in a cage next to your heart. You're one of my people and I'll stand with you. There are more of us than they want you to believe. Hold fast.
