Glad I called and waited 15 mins on hold to confirm that the package was held like I asked before heading out into this frigid cold because it was NOT. Now I await a call back from a @uspostal.bsky.social supervisor because I am VERY unhappy.
So rather than let them make another "attempt" tomorrow when we know damn well there'll be no changes to the roads/streets, we told the rep at the office to hold the package so we can pick it up tomorrow instead while we're out. Not playing this game of cat-and-mouse on something this important.

Hard to believe the mail carrier couldn't make it down our street to deliver our mail (which included my partner's medication they've been out of since Sunday & have been suffering withdrawal from) when all manner of other vehicles/people have managed down our street. @uspostal.bsky.social

@rhyall.bsky.social Here's the view from my home in Homestead, PA (nextdoor to Pittsburgh). We see folks walking down the middle of the road in the tire tracks because there's so much snow on the sidewalks. #yallsquad #snowmagedon #pittsburgh youtube.com/shorts/huaaW...

I’ll say it.

The NFL should postpone tomorrow’s championship games.

When there is a masked secret police force killing peaceful protesters and observers in the streets, it’s time to take the biggest, sturdiest, and loudest stands.

@rhyall.bsky.social I can appreciate being excited about a new toy and wanting to promote it but I watch your streams for the weather, not for people's locations to be shown off over and over. It's insane seeing more dots on the map than the weather.

I just wanted to share our GoFundMe again... My partner didn't get the job we were very hopeful for, so the search continues. #gofundme #helpneeded #unemployed gofund.me/ce6ccbc79

My partner and I are here at 2pm. We won't make it to any legislator, but we stand with you who can.

To non-US people who keep saying US folks need to get in the streets and protest... We are. We have been. We don't want Greenland or war with our allies. We can only protest so many different issues while being attacked by our own government in our streets, homes, schools... We're doing our best.

So many people who don't understand autism are blaming this woman for what happened to her. None of this should have happened to her.

And because of this, I'm officially terrified to leave the house... I can guarantee I'd have done no better in this situation.

Just wondering. Can we just forget about football and all sports in general for a while. And get down to some serious business. Like saving this fucking country.

You think most of us "Americans" can do anything? We tried! We vote, we petition, & those who can protest! Most of us are being dragged along with this three-ring-circus purely by association of being "American" because everything we've done hasn't worked, or we don't have the means to do anything.
None of us.
We are never trusting any “ American “ ever again.
Save yourselves.

Or we're so overwhelmed by the shit we deal with on a daily basis that we have no bandwidth to follow what's happening past our front door, much less beyond that.
Most people in the US have no idea what's going on, at all. They either live very sheltered, comfortable lives, or they suffer on a daily basis and don't know why. The vast majority would rather watch football than learn about the world. Many believe the master narrative and only focus on themselves

I started 2026 thinking the worst things could get was worrying about not being able to pay rent and utilities... Now I have to consider the 🍊 could actually drag us into war... IT'S BEEN 4 DAYS.

Why do I suddenly feel like the 🍊watched the opening of 'Air Force One' too many times... Late night military raid to capture a foreign leader in his pajamas, American president deciding policy(movie)/actions(🍊) without consulting the people he's supposed to...
January 3, 2026 at 7:47 PM
Waking up to the news of what the 🍊 did... I'm terrified enough of what may happen in my own life, I didn't need this. Like, if this is actually a positive for Venezuela's people, great. But make no mistake it's doing our country no favors.

I wanted to wish a Happy New Year to y'all, to thank y'all who donated & shared. Your help's already enabled the internet to stay on so we can keep searching for work. It is definitely the boost we needed to keep pushing forward. I can't fully express how grateful I am.

Seems that Spotify has a few mistaken release years for the Final Fantasy albums. #FFXVI definitely didn't come out in 1987, and nothing related to #Endwalker came out before #Heavensward. 🤔

Well... Never thought I'd get one of these skin-jumping alerts for a non-weather, non-Amber Alert, non-test reason... just like I never thought a whole state could lose access to 911... but here we are, Pennsylvania.
