If you need a lowkey novella about a dragon artist, may I suggest my own book Royal Red? www.goodreads.com/book/show/61...

They're destroying packages. On purpose this time. Wow.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Matthew Wasserbach, brokerage manager of Express Customs Clearance, said of the UPS backlog. “It’s totally unprecedented.”

UPS is 'disposing of' U.S.-bound packages over customs paperwork problems

Shifting Trump tariffs have created a nightmare for UPS, as thousands of packages from overseas pile up at its hubs while they await customs clearance.

When you're both old and gray, you'll laugh about tonight and remember it better than if it had been a clear night. I hope, anyway!

I don't like to ask for help but I mean if there's anything anyone can spare, a dollar or two would be really appreciated.

We spent $2400 for Beau at the vet. He passed that same night. I emptied my savings and my checkings, I still have $1500 to pay off of my credit card

Someone just reminded me that Fergus was the subject of this tweet years ago that turned into a minorly viral meme. So if you do an image search for 'big strong man tiny potato boy' right now all the top results are Fergus. 🥹

Screenshot of a tweet by me dated 2022. There is a photo of my brown tuxedo. tabby Fergus and the text reads "Fraud alert: local woman makes conflicting statements about her cat, claiming he both a big strong man and a tiny potato boy"

I made a money pig block!

Fingers holding a wooden block the size of a 6 sided die. On it is drawn a laughing pink pig with dollars and coins all around, and a silver background.

At least they're gone! I feel the same way about maintenance people and the like coming in to do stuff.

Schadenfreude @normalpony.bsky.social · 20h

Oh, we can do better than this.

We make it into a Veritas Project satire and film the "riots" ourselves. In our basements, with gold-painted cardboard props, suits from the local Goodwill, and the lowest production values possible. BLATANTLY fake. But we insist it's all real.

I LOVE kayfabe. 😍

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 1d

Democrats should just start insisting that they saw very real videos of people rioting at Mar-a-Lago -- overturning golf carts, setting fire to the brunch buffet, stabbing busboys with carving knives, whatever -- and calling on Trump to send the Illinois National Guard there to restore order.

If you're watching the situation in Chicago from afar & want to help, on the off chance you have spare $$, you can give to the Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund, which posts "bond for individuals held in the custody of ICE w ties to IL, IN, KY & WI who cannot afford to pay"

I found the blocks at Dollar Tree and you can get cheap acrylic markers anywhere, if you want to make some too. I use a Pigma archival ink pen for black lines.

Kate Shaw / Tigerbat Tails @tigerbattails.bsky.social · 20h

I'm still making little drawings on these tiny wooden blocks. It's fun and it turns out the acrylic markers are fully waterproof!

Six wooden blocks about the size of fice. Each is painted with different designs. One has jellyfish, another snails, another a wolf, etc.

Back from Goodyear and thank goodness they fixed the issue they caused pretty quickly without charging me a penny. Now I'm having leftover lasagna for lunch.

Luckily they did, at no charge!

I have to put my ego down.

I need help. The surgery is more than I thought, and I've already spent $1300.

Both surgeries total $7000.

If not to help me, please help my cat. Please share.

I had to get two new tires on Monday and since then it felt like something was off, but today was the first time I got on the interstate. When I hit 50mph, the steering wheel was shaking all over the place and it felt like the wheels were going in four different directions. Back to Goodyear I guess.

She's a sweetheart. I only adopted her a few weeks ago.
