What an amazing storm that was! I have never seen the sky so pink and purple. Vibrant colors I had no idea one could see with the naked eye.

One of a rare handful of G4 watches SWPC has ever released. This one happened one year ago today. We then saw a G4 atom on October 10-11, 2024. Who remembers it?

Peace is very bad for a billionaire's bottom line.

SuPurrvisor Spot is watching the activities quite closely. New sniffs and holes to check out.

Also, so very very many white pick up trucks 😮

Two workers in yellow safety vests dig holes for fiber internet installation. Observing and supervising is a feral black cat we have named Spot.

It’s often really easy to disprove propaganda by just thinking logically 🤷🏻‍♀️

“American citizens can't even get free healthcare, and y'all think undocumented immigrants do??
That Kool-aid must be
BANGIN.”

Printed over the red kool-aid man with a cane & an iv and looking pretty rough, like he needs medical care.

I have never had credit and I will never have credit. I refuse to play the game. Fuck this atrocious society.

Credit scores are dropping at the fastest pace since the Great Recession," per CNN.

My credit score dropped when I paid off my car.

Credit agencies told me: "Get more loans to increase your credit score."

The system punishes you for not owing it money.

Credit scores are one of the biggest scams.
