I don't think companies have the technology to do tariff refunds at the scale required. They'd have to search their database for every purchase, figure how much was paid by each person, and refund. Paid cash? How can they refund?

The Trump admin said it has refunded about $100 billion of the $166 billion in tariff revenue to corporations that were collected through Trump’s 2025 “liberation day” duties. The Supreme Court scrapped those IEEPA tariffs, & a federal judge ordered the money to be refunded. But companies are ⬇️

I don't know...let's see... on Friday morning I'm going to get a shot in my ass that I only have to do every 2 months which means I don't die from the HIV virus I thought was going to kill me when I tested positive. How's that?

So this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary

Just found @chefjoseandres.bsky.social on here. 💜💜💜

Would it help if I could reassure you that if I asked probably a few hundred people would show up in my mentions to say I’m not kidding

I have been sent gifts from friends/followers towards the laptop fund. A nice little start, but I'm looking at about $2800 for a new laptop... and that's if I'm lucky with sales.

PLEASE mute "Perez Hilton" (as a term) if images of self harm, a person in crisis or raw skin are bad for you. Please.

I asked my mom so many years ago, “How will I k ow?” She said, “You will know. There’s nothing left. No love, no anger. No hate. Just nothing.” She was right.

Part of what helped me come to my decision was - seeing happy queer couples at Ani, talking about just getting married in their 40s. - a friend I am getting to know who wears his relationship style loud and proud - husb not spending holidays w me bc I won't see his Trump family

This past weekend has me convinced more than anything that I do want out of my marriage. Nothing happened, but the way I dreaded going to a concert with him, the way I had more fun alone, the way I held my breath while we found parking ... I'm not ready yet but I'm decided.

This is ... Art. It is so American. (It's from 2015.) It's so tacky and it made me laugh until I cried. The music. The gymnastics. The voiceover. I'm going to hell.

Oh my god I think I found the video.

Well, Edmonds officially smells like a fire. Welcome to this part of summer.

Day after septum piercing: this is the least painful piercing I've ever gotten and I've gotten lots. Neat.

Husband isn't voting this go round and it makes me sad. It's bc I haven't been on top of him to do it, I thought we were beyond that.

I <3 Sea-Tac Airport's Spot Saver. I generally get there early enough that I don't NEED need it, but it's a great backup plan.

i’m so lucky to call one of the most beautiful places on earth—HOME if you sit here long enough, whales, sea otters, eagles, or ravens will find their way to you and i get to share this with an amazing community, loving family, and friends who are like family thank you for another day, Creator ☝🏼

@conductress.bsky.social I don't know what kind of music you like but Valarie Jane (June?) is opening for Ani and her set has been all about joy and connection. Made me think of you.

A regular passenger plane just flew over. Blue Angels are done done.

Ok please the Blue Angels just flew over the line for the Ani concert. To the Teeth.

Oh. Right. I'm about to share something really really foundational important to me (Ani) with someone unlikely to get it and who might make the experience worse. That's...predictable, that anxiety.

Comfort Cripes@antigrinch.bsky.social · 3d ago

Maybe step 1 to defeating this anxiety is getting up and taking the meds that do that.

There is a poetry to be had that I will maybe hear To the Teeth live (Ani!) during Seafair weekend.

Ok I'm going to start getting my next tattoo in order. That said, who do I know that could draw me up a 10inch ish red lantern piece, somehow incorporating the phrase "people like that"? Obvs for $$

Yup
