My husband was laid off in June, his unemployment benefits have run out, & I am disabled & unable to work, which means we have zero income.

Please help us get through this tough financial time!

Thank you!!

Guy in Walmart: we have covid, by the way

Me, in respirator: *doesn't react*

Guy's wife: [almost embarrassed] he's not being serious, we don't have covid.

Me: I figured

Guy: [as he's walking past me] I know how to handle it. I've had it 7 times and got over it just fine.

Me: good for you.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

My fav Shakespeare thing is how Henry IV part 2 starts with Majel Barrett Roddenberry saying, "Previously on Henry IV..." and there's a clip reel ending with Hotspur yelling "FIRE EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT."

Then Majel's voice: "And now, the conclusion."

Update: I only have two nights left and can’t afford to book more. I also have to leave this place on the 26th and stay somewhere else that night and come back the next day. Cheapest rates here and elsewhere are $50-60 a night before tax.

Magic pool of Bluesky goodwill, plz help my ass?💕💸💸💕
I’m a disabled homeless trans woman living in a motel in the short term. If anyone can help me out with funds to extend my stay and cover necessities, I would be immensely grateful. My links are in my bio. 💕💸💸💕

I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.

"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

No luck yesterday on collecting donations to relocate out of this tent!

If we can finally get to our friend's apartment in California I can unpack all of my tools and instruments and start working again!

We managed to squeeze through and take care of the critical things about to kill us yesterday!

Can we do more than just survive today?

We need to pick up the pace if we're ever gonna get in a healthier situation than being stuck in this tent!

Anything helps! Thank you!

Not sure if this is a vowel shift, but I always say food like "fuhd" and wood like "woo-d" unintentionally while playing Sea of Thieves.
Is anyone else's language privately degenerating (or evolving, reaching its true potential?) through a series of ironic vowel shifts?

This one is running rampant in my own speech right now:

Bug --> Boog
Hug --> Hoog
Slug --> Sloog
Blood (/blʌd/) --> Blood (/blud/)

The speed at which I opened sequencing dot com to check my genes...

I need more time to dive into this, but I'd put money on it that my genes are part of the 33.5% group with their findings.
Update On Gene Linked to Hypermobile EDS - the Norris Lab published their final study results in 2025:
