So to new followers - I don't follow back immediately. Let's chat/interact first. If you DM me immediately after I follow you, there's a high chance I'll block you cause I'll think you're a bot. Cause that is the state of social media nowadays. This has been a Public Service Announcement.

This is a sobering read that starts from a straightforward premise: look at how the poverty threshold is calculated in the US and see how well it holds up as an actual measure.

I expected it to be bad. It’s much worse, in ways it’s hard not to see.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Amazing for @halo.gg to be willing to openly support ICE. It's a great way to be remembered when they are about to release a brand new game which is vital for them to reignite interest in the franchise 🙃

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

#Ukrainian border guards showed the talisman of the Sea Guard boat - the cat named Eleonora.

They said that when she was still a tiny kitten, Eleonora jumped aboard a boat, and since then, has spent more time at sea than on land.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Changes - Gator Days
Changes - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August is looking at old pictures on his phone with Gustopher. August: I haven't looked at these photos in years. Gustopher: Is that you? Panel 2 August holds up his phone to show Gustopher. It's a picture of himself at a party. He's waving at the camera with his hand blocking a random person in the background. A hand can be seen on his shoulder. He's drinking something from a cup. What is he drinking? Don't worry about it. Relax. Please don't look at the other photos from that night. August: That's me. Gustopher: You look like a different person. Panel 3 August looks more closely at the photo. He begins to spot and fixate on all the things that have changed over the year. August: Yeah, I've put on weight. My posture is worse. I have less energy. Panel 4 August begins to stare in the distance and feel how relentless the march of time has become. Gustopher is oblivious to all of this and is focused the single detail that caused him to mention that his dad looks different. August: Time keeps moving and I keep aging. Gustopher: You changed your glasses!

details on my current medical status.

If one can help thank you, but even if one cannot help financially, upping the bandwidth can be a big benefit.

23% covered on the initial estimate of 6500, still far from out of the woods.

Post Crisis, Day 5. Have been readmitted once, locally, since the initial emergency. Was discharged yesterday after teh floor nurse got another spike under control, but laughably, not before the Shift Doctor had a huge hissy fit when I questioned on of his assertions, started yelling at me than stomped off to get the administrator, saying he "never wanted to lay eyes on me again". Well. Maybe don't intimate I was just there to get ER grade drugs, just because I had once use recreation drugs 30 yrs prior.... and I won't question your diagnosis. I never raised my voice, or was rude, but I did pointedly ask ho me doing drugs 30 yrs prior would cause me to have a sudden existential crisis/relapse and withdrawals that mimicked a Stroke? Mind you, this was literally 5 minutes AFTER the Nurse had given me a sublingual to try to bring my BP down. Unprofessional, much? Anyhow, first sublingual was ineffective, the nurse brought something else (got the box, just not in front of me) and it seemed to do the job, actually felt the best I have since pre attack, for a few hours last night. This morning, my new cardiologist had an opening at 6am, so went back to the hospital for a fresh USG. Nice Doc. Professional. Will go over results at a full appointment tomorrow afternoon. Current Medical Bill Tally? $6,723 Not counting whatever else I have to pay the cardiologists, or cost of the whole new slew of meds I am on. https://ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerfund/goal?g=21
