ope just went to check temps and tweaked stuff already! haha
it’s really not ever a job you stop doing. i already have tweaks planned.

but it feels good to have her all set for a while, in a way that works better for her and us! there’s so much more space and we can see her so much better (though she still has lots of places to hide, bc tortoises need that!)

today i made hazel a mixed greens salad and put on some special dressing. it’s the first time i tried this, all the supplements in a lil water then gave the greens a good toss. she usually is picky but ate whatever was in front of her instead of nosing through it eating only the best bits

according to bookface there is someone sneaking into an old gravel pit outside of town and blowing up tannerite and it's enough of it to shake houses in town. so that's neat.

ftr: the bad check was one my dad wrote, he'd opened a checking account in my name when i was a kid, which is legal.

i found out then that i had like 6 bank accounts in lil country towns i'd never even heard of let alone been to. he did that to keep money they couldn't garnish for child support :)
once i got arrested in a bar during an ID compliance check (long story). i was holding a LOT. including like 2grams of 2ci (which was legal at the time, but 25mg of a random white powder in capsules in an unlabeled bottle would have been a nightmare).

they let me leave my bag with my friends.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

my grandma, the sweetest lady that ever lived and former church choir director, told me when i was like 4-5 "you couldn't carry a tune if it was in a basket" i did NOT realize until much later how mean it was.
In the middle of singing a hymn in church, my tiny Goddaughter climbed up onto the pew next to me, gently placed her hand on my chest, and said "Don't worry, I can teach you to sing."
What's an insult you'll never forget?

anyway, these shitstains stealing this food is the fucked up cherry on a fucked up sundae. i was actually breaking the law and they could have got me on it but because i'm white they didn't

on top of that, not only are they taking him away from his family they're stealing food from them. FOOD.

apple made typing worse on the phone with the liquid glass shit but it's also worse on my laptop? letters are being inserted when i've not touched anything near them? i just typed "and it don't" instead of "and i don't"

it doesn't make a damn lick of sense. the closest t is strokes away.

Apropos of nothing, there's a huge talent shortage in the cybersecurity space -- so if you're looking for a career, something to consider! 😂
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.

Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

why is there a blue button with a pencil at the bottom AND a text box with prompt to write in at the top?

WHY.

They’re still missing people who were sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

it IS happening here.
It's important to note that as awful as that number is, we do not have any idea at all how many people have died in ICE custody, and it's just a plain fact that you cannot believe anything this administration says. We may never know the death toll, and this is by design.

if you put a bunch of bitter greens on top of your cheese chips it turns them into super food.

Roger is pretty determined to build a tunnel underneath his pools, and I don't know if he's looking for a molt spot, if he's trying to tip them over, or if he's just having a dig. Please enjoy this moment of Zen.

Just made a quick trip to La Alborada, my neighborhood mercado. I speak a little customer service Spanish and I usually wear a soccer kit or something friendly. Today I wore my whistle, and the lady who helped me in the hot case tapped her heart and thanked me.

Feliz Navidad to everyone but ICE!
