They aren’t smart lights. They are named that, but they are Bluetooth only. And the remote has to be able to see the USB to work, which is behind my bed.
I can’t use my voice commands / alexa to control them. Had to download an app. I hate them. But I will deal with it for now.

Got kicked off budget billing because I had no money (and also forgot to make payments) last year and I know this is gonna hurt this month.
It’s expensive to be poor. I’m already $400 behind on my utilities 🫠 they’ll cut me off as soon as the weather is projected to not be freezing for a while

It took me two hours to mount this tv to the wall and there are way more holes than I should admit to back there.
Either my stud finder is a piece of shit — or I am 😅

And how much of that money goes to the author and the narrators?

Losing my best girl tomorrow.
I love you, Lilith. You have been my saving grace these last ten years. When I didn’t have the strength to reach out for joy, you brought it right to me.
I’m stronger now, and I’ll be ok without you somehow.

She was licking everything at the store 🙃 👅
I triggered scarcity mode bc I took everything she picked out at the store (so I could pay for them!) She chomped on this one like I was about to take it away at any moment 🤣

I am doing my best to! Taking her with me on errands. Stopping to literally smell flowers with her whenever possible. Letting her pick out the grossest bones and chews at the pet store that I normally would not tolerate in the house (she did chew part of this one outside though)

I am so afraid every time my dog coughs or stumbles that it’s gonna be the beginning of a steep decline and she’s gonna suffer and I’m gonna be traumatized

wack that the first thing I saw when I began my doomscrolling today was a clip of children talking about having emergency supplies in their backpacks for shootings and then I come across this later
All the comments under the first thing really made me want to leave America. I don’t even have kids.

Yeah because people experiencing homelessness all have phones and definitely will trust the system enough to provide a phone number registering themselves as homeless for alerts like this
Totally a good enough intervention and preventative measure for flash flooding

This is so painful. Treating naturally occurring neurodivergence as an “epidemic” and I think my brain is beautiful… I know it’s hard sometimes. And for many autistics life is really much more difficult. But vaccines don’t cause it. Tylenol doesn’t cause it. It’s just something that happens!

This paper is killing me- I was starting to get panicky teary but today I chose a cafe surrounded by art galleries took a little walk and then did cry because one beautiful installation was too much I didn’t take a photo of the one that broke my heart but I did take a photo of one that filled it
