Okay, here's that one I mentioned. Local mama needing to escape a bad DV situation. She wants to go home, which is another state. She also has to get her car in go running condition before they can go. Estimate for car repairs, travel, deposit when they land: $4K.

I find it reprehensible that a mobile petting zoo would take animals they KNEW weren’t vaccinated into an assisted living facility. They exposed disabled and elderly people to rabies. Please keep spreading the word. If you were in North Carolina and around baby goats, contact your doctor:

Local health departments in North Carolina have evaluated hundreds of people for rabies after they interacted with baby goats that were part of a mobile petting zoo, according to the state Department ...

This week's edition consists of two works created individually but set with stones from the same parcel and clearly belonging together. Originally, it was a trio, including a. pair of earrings, which have sold; what remains are the necklace and cuff bracelet.

People have *NO* idea. And when you then get a little grumpy from the exhaustion of doing ‘simple‘ things, this begets crankiness & derision in return. How dare someone who lives in unrelenting pain & apocalyptic exhaustion be less than sunny & sweet 24/7! I’m sorry, Kelly. I understand. 🌺🌺🌺

I am so tired I’ve been listening to the same showtunes on repeat for hours and barely even remember it. This week has kicked my ass despite having done almost nothing. That’s chronic illness. You can rest. You can do everything “right”. You can save your spoons. You can still end up wrecked.

I hate ESPN’s coverage of tennis with the fire of 1000 suns. They hype and hype and hype Gael Monfils’ final run at his last Slam, and then don’t show him playing the match. Fuck you, ESPN. You are the worldwide leader at killing sports on television. #USOpen

@palmtrees90.bsky.social · 2d ago

@tsnofficial.bsky.social @espn.com #USOPEN Your coverage is awful. Enough with the features, talking heads and ads! You’re not doing tennis any favour by promoting your Premium channels. SHOW US TENNIS MATCH FGS! TSN has 4 channels all showing ads while Gael Monfils is playing his last match!

One thing people often don't realize is when someone is disabled, they might have energy limiting issues. They may not have the energy to socialize at times. It doesn't mean they hate you when they're not as around. They may be struggling. You should check on them & not assume the worst.

The famous painting Hunters In The Snow by Pieter Bruegel The Elder, from 1565, repainted almost half a millennium later by my dad, with the enhancing addition of my dad's cat Bridget.
