Your photos have helped me. Thank you, and may I just say that whoever told you that you have no value is wrong. I can tell that from way over on this side of the intertubes.🫂 A wee bird for solace during the hard days.

My cat whom I thought was dead is living with a neighbor ONE BLOCK AWAY. She checked for a chip after six months and called me and when I asked, 'my beloved cat prefers you, do you want to keep her?,' the lady burst into tears and said yes. I hate adulting. Two of the three of us very happy today.

Laid off 1/15/24. Start date of the new job, at a 47% base-pay decrease, starts next week. I am totally happy with it. Great company! As a tech writer, you need some subject-matter expertise to be worth the medium bucks, so onward! #grateful Thanks to those who supported me during this rough patch!

From The Daily Skimm email of 3/7/24, we see the return of Jim Crow laws: laws that are meant to be enforced only for some parties, not others. All abortion laws in the US are Jim Crow laws. Also, I am wondering if this was created on purpose to go to SCOTUS... #abortion #humanRights #SCOTUS
