I've been using this (cheaper than a Fum but basically the same thing). It really helps, I think. No smoke or vapor, just air. I think my biggest issue is oral fixation & this has been a game changer. I've never made it more than 2 days before.

Had a visitor today. He's been relocated to a little pewter fairy house I have out in front of my house. I did request he not come back inside, but sometimes I think I'm capturing & releasing the same damn wolf spider all the time. 😅

As a former horse obsessed kid, this is about the only thing I can draw half way decently w/out reference. 😭

@esqueer.net called it 6 days ago.
Screenshot of BlueSky post by Alejandra Carabello that reads: "Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net I guarantee by next week, in exchange for tariff relief, Trump will be demanding from companies political donations to far right causes, rollbacks of DEI, purging LGBTQ employees, and cessation of funding to civil society orgs that support progressive causes." As a quote post of Alejandra's post a day before that reads: "Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net 7d These tariffs are going to be one of the most corrupt extortion rackets ever conceived of. Any industry that wants to be exempted will be forced to donate to Trump or otherwise bribe him. Political allies will be spared while opponents will not."

That time I accidentally got added to a war plans group chat.

(It was a Teams chat at work w/my old accounting team.)

As a reward for yard work, 17 insisted we go see the horses. So we visited the local rescue & I got to see my favorite guy, Ranger. We went shortly after my oldest died & Ranger here randomly came up to me & gave me the longest hug.

Working on yard clean up & getting the garden beds ready & 2 of our 3 dogs think chewing sticks is helpful. The 3rd dog doesn't do dog stuff & is off supervising.

He had to go to the vet to be weighed to make sure he's not gained too much weight which would require two flea/tick med pills yesterday (he hasn't, so yay not having to spend double on flea meds). My 17 yo sent this & said he said he was driving home.

Just two unwashed asses trying to sling some Teslas on the White House lawn & dime. 🫠
Screenshot of photo of Trump (in driver's seat) and Musk (in passenger's seat) in red Tesla making ugly faces (or maybe those are their normal faces, Trump looks like he's having a difficult shit with bared teeth while Musk has his tongue protruding between his teeth in a concerning smile). Surrounding photo is black with yellow font that reads, "GET IN LOSER! WE'RE TANKING THE ECONOMY"

Anyway, here is Casifer 2.0. It's black on black on black so that's nice. And Dodge didn't fuck around w/these, they didn't add any bullshit to them. A 2019 & it's not a snitch. 🤣 💜 🖤

Oh, whoops. Plain toast for lunch, you can have 2 Tbsp of peanut butter at breakfast.

This is probably it, actually. 😅

@piperformissouri.bsky.social can you share this? I see a few KS Facebook pages have picked it up, but they don't have your reach. I know you're in MO, but I'm hoping since you're our neighbor you have a few KS followers who may be interested in going. 💜

As I'm in the midst of the terrible three days of losing my oldest child 2 years ago, I wanted to share something that helps me process losing her.

"According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you're just less orderly."
Galaxy background with white text that reads "You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got. And at one point you'd hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her eyes, that those photons created within her constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they'll be comforted to know your energy's still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you're just less orderly." -Aaron Freeman

Screenshot of portion of site referenced in post reads, "2024-2025 SNAP benefit amounts Unfortunately, the maximum benefit amounts for a zero income, one-person household only increased by $1.00 in 2024. As of October 1, 2024, here are the maximum monthly SNAP benefits for anyone in the 48 contiguous states and D.C.: 1 person: $292 2 people: $536 3 people: $768 4 people: $975 5 people: $1,158 • 6 people: $1,390 7 people: $1,536 8 people: $1,756 • Each additional person: Add $220 Maximum SNAP benefits are different in Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories due to higher food costs. A family of four in Hawaii can receive up to $1,723 per month and a family of four in Alaska can receive up to $1,953 per month. Remember: Only about 36% of SNAP households receive the maximum amount. Some one- and two-person households only get $23 per month, which is the minimum possible benefit. Your actual benefit depends on your income, allowable deductions, and household size."
