Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

I have only about 200 of this which leaves about 3.1k and need to knock as much of this out before court on the 16th so I don't lose my housing.

Okay somewhat decent news.
I actually only owe 3.3k in total and they said they're going to let the courts know I've made payments and we will reach on some kind of payment plan.
So still urgent but slightly less urgent

Spirit Halloween Dani 🎃 @djamiempls.meatjacker.social · 5d

Well just when I was feeling okay, I got the court hearing notice that I have to pay $5.7k in order to keep my home (not including what I owe already and paid today).

Here's the proof and court is the 16th of October.

I need so much more help than I realized.

This is AJ Link, known here as Łink. He's awesome. He's been permabanned for basically just making the CEO, Jay Graber, mad. This was a monumentally stupid decision that, AFAICT, may result in the collapse of Bluesky due to a loss of trust, but we'll see. The smart thing to do would be to #FreeŁink

My brain can't be bothered with a sleep score. I'm just happy to finally crash after it keeps running far longer than it should sometimes.

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 23h

“The problem is that gamifying sleep turns something your body does naturally into another thing to optimize. You start stressing about getting to bed at the right time, not because you’re tired, but because you want to beat last night’s score.”
