I just (accidentally) let out the loudest man belch ever.

Sometimes I'm so glad I only live with a ghost.

Daily bunny no.3102 wishes they had checkers

Three bunnies are afloat at sea, on a yellow inflatable life raft. They have a few supplies, and look bored but not too worried. It is a calm, dusky evening, and there is a seagull nearby

it's crazy how fast movies become dated. for instance, the 2021 movie "Don't Look Up" no longer makes sense, because if an American scientist discovered a planet-killing comet heading towards us today, their main response would be "oh thank fuck for that"

Might switch it up and wear one of my The Expanse shirts.

Having seen what nerds work at pulmonary/cardiac rehab, I can only come to one conclusion.

I must wear one of my *eight* Star Wars shirts to every appointment.

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.

From the archives, a sunset in spring
#Photography #BoulderColorado #Sunset #BloomScrolling

$A spring evening, as the sun sets between cottonwood trees barely leaving out at the head of a trail meandering through a park. The trail is lined with plum bushes covered in white flowers. The sun's rays refract a little into spears of light with hints of rainbow colors.$

I was also talking to my GP's nurse a few weeks ago, her name is Jessica and there have been people that call her Ashley. She told me that among the other names that she's been called and I just stared at her like "Ashley? How the hell do you get that from Jessica?!"
