Lmao, same and I'm not even from there, I just lived there for 12 years 🤣

I never accepted "on line", though, and I never will, lol

Oh my god, I'm almost at goal now, between pirates and comrades and family and friends 😭 Thank you all so so so much!!

I am now confident that I will not need to either use the pump that doesn't work well for me, or move back in with my parents; neither would be good for my health! 😭❤️

Hey all, I just learned that there's 0% chance my insurance is going to reimburse me for what I've already paid out of pocket for my insulin pump supplies (which is a lot, like $1500).

If y'all could spare some change and/or spread this around, I would greatly appreciate it!

So I've started using Qobuz!

I just tried using it from my Chromecast, and it kept "skipping" like it was buffering but never catching up for more than a few seconds.

This didn't happen when I was using it from my phone, through a BT speaker, yesterday.

Is it just that Chromecast/google sucks??

Yes, even the ones (like the principal and the Black cops) who didn't want this to happen but let it happen anyway. How are you gonna be more scared of disobeying orders, as a fully grown adult, than of letting children go to a jail w/solitary?

Sara C @norskheks.bsky.social · 21h

This is a long story, researched in detail, and every section is like, damn that's heinous, and then the next section dumps some more heinous facts on the pile of what is already utter heinousness.

Every single adult involved except the parents needs to lose their job if they haven't already.

Judge Donna Scott Davenport oversaw a juvenile justice system in Rutherford County, TN, with a staggering history of throwing children in jail.

In one case, 11 Black children, as young as 8, were arrested for a crime that doesn't exist.

Lmao it's important!! 🤣 If you have a cookout in Rochester with non-Zweigles hot dogs, you'll have some disappointed and upset people on your hands (or more likely, someone will volunteer to go to Wegmans and get some bc the cookout can't go on without them, lmao)

I don't like it either. If Buffalo is midwest, then so is Rochester. They're basically the same culture, except white Buffalonians are more Polish and white Rochesterians are more Italian, and we have different hot dog brand loyalties.

A rare day where, even though I am still tired and don't have any pressing work to do, I felt compelled to get out of bed and start the day anyway.

Will I regret this later? Probably! 🤷🏻

That's funny bc at that age I was obsessed with Ancient Egypt 😅 And now I have your lovely ofmd deck!! 🥰

My food preferences are one of the least autistic things about me. All my dislikes are taste-based, and there aren't very many of them (namely tomatoes, olives, and anything pickled).

I will say, though, that when I hate a flavor, I fucking *HATE* it to the point of gagging.

If you think about the foods you don’t like is usually more based on flavor or texture?

And

How do you feel about mushrooms and cottage cheese?

I've found an issue with Finch....

If I set something as "goal of the day" because I really wanna get it done, it backfires and instead triggers my Pathological Demand Avoidance.

I want extra points for doing the important thing, but I can't act like it's important until AFTER I do it!

Michel DeGraff, a tenured professor of linguistics at MIT, discusses how his proposal to teach a class on language & decolonization in Haiti, Israel, and Palestine was denied. He faced significant repercussions: he was removed from his department, had a pay raise withheld, and his salary frozen.

Also, I'm thisclose 🤏 to asking in the 11-person group text whether this is a simple majority wins vote, and if we need a quorum 🤣 Because we have 5 votes for change so far, not counting any secret ballots that were sent to just my aunt 🤣

I will probably be the only one who finds it funny though :p

Sara C @norskheks.bsky.social · 2d

We are historically Not Good At Change (I was taking a risk just proposing secret santa instead of everyone buy for everyone a decade ago), but I swear to fucking god if I have to try to fit one more thing in this apt that I could've lived happily without, I will scream.

My aunt usually sends assignments for family secret santa, but this year she's sent out a "poll" on whether we want to continue with secret santa, or just do white elephant for grownups and buy specific presents for the kids.

I'm the 3rd vote for the latter so far, and I'm so proud of my family 🥹
