So tired it hurts, in too much pain to sleep.

He/him/or whatever—I have no strong feelings about my gender and won't take offense.

I'm so exhausted & sore from yesterday that I can barely even move. Despite 18 mph winds during the daylight hours hampering efforts, we managed to hurriedly get things up and running enough for trick-or-treaters, and another Halloween has been completed successfully. Pics when I have the energy.

In the wake of YouTube's dogshit "Super resolution" AI nonsense, it's actually easy to disable and not on a per-video basis which is very nice.

Probably a good idea to do that before Google decides "Actually let's make it as hard as possible to do this"

Welp, just heard that SNAP benefits aren't being given out in November due to Shutdown, without which I don't really have enough $$$$ to pay for a month's worth of groceries, esp in Tariff Hell Capitalism. So, it's time to throw up the links and ask for some financial help

It is deeply immoral that cashiers in the US are not allowed to sit.

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.
Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.

Nothing like getting home at night, turning on the kitchen light, and getting jumpscared by this year's new additions.

I burst into tears at this.

Even after 5 1/2 years with it, positive scientific confirmation of what I knew - this is real, I’m not imagining it, it’s not ageing, it’s not depression or anxiety, it’s that my brain *does not function properly* - means so much.

Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support.

Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.
