I'm raising money for our local Fishline org to feed, clothe, house, and support our neighbors, especially those impacted by the removal of SNAP benefits. My employer will match up to $1,500 of funds raised. Please consider contributing or sharing!

My SNAP benefits still haven't come in and I'm getting the runaround from DHHS. I REALLY need to go the grocery store. $150 could get me all the food I need for the rest of the month. Any help would be appreciated. #MutualAid

I’ll never understand this impulse people have to consume and destroy and dominate every inch of life on the planet.

If having an easy life requires causing needless suffering I’d just rather have a hard life. It’s not even a difficult choice.

I usually sleep in my side, and my oldest cat likes to curl up against my chest so I can put an arm around her. It’s all very cute.

BUT the beginning of her laying down always, for some reason, needs to involve stabbing me with the exact same claw.

Maniacal behavior.

I love the escapism and wish-fulfillment of video games. My character can sleep and wake up refreshed and energized? Wow. Oh, to live in this fiction.

It’s so funny to me when bands are like “oh we invented a new genre” “we don’t really do genres”

And then they’re just playing like…rock music with a slight twist.

At the show last night someone told me it was their first metal show. They seemed excited but maybe a little nervous.

A little after we got off stage they came up again talking about how cool it was and how much fun they were having.

You just love to see it.

My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Every once in a while someone will suggest, probably accurately, that I should network a bit for the sake of getting my book or music out there.

And I can see the wisdom there but I would rather trust fall into a wood chipper.

I suggested a video game to my wife for us to play together. And I figured there was like a 50/50 shot on if she’d like it. But at this point it’s clear she *really* likes it and the power I feel is immeasurable.

Forgot my oldest cat is obsessed with my leave-in conditioner, and now every time I turn my head I just feel a little cat nose pressing against the back of my skull.
