Because it’s still being advertised, let me be clear; Alexa can turn on lights, adjust the thermostat, & be an intercom. It can show you your security cameras. But as far as actually getting assistance please look into the other options available that don’t need a subscription & will get you help.

This was unceremoniously swept under the rug, as new advancements have come that do not gate keep your $2k wee woo wagon ride regardless if you need it or not; you ask & therefore you should receive said service, it doesn’t cost Amazon anything. Lives were lost & the service isn’t worth it.

The people are for the most part underpaid non medical staff, with a few nurses, even less doctors sprinkled about & they don’t have to check the calls. Elderly people were dropping like flies. People with chronic illnesses were also being told to go to their PCP on the next day. It is a mess.

Now you have to pay for the service & the people who dispatch to 911 will determine if you need an ambulance. It’s being advertised as an alert system or something to that effect with humans responding to any emergencies when you request aid from a third party (911) & then decides if you need it.

You should. I mean I know you don’t know me but they don’t really do social media; to them, me interacting with you is the equivalent of them knowing you through me. I politely said I don’t think you would sign copies of dvds (VHS THERE IS EVEN A VHS I WAS SHOOK.) thanks for giving them a rush

I appreciate anything any of you can do. Remember it’s not just an adult who can “suffer in silence,” we are all old enough to have people who need us like children. Or elderly parents. Or disabled adults. So please, remember your childhood & what stress did to your parents & help any way you can.

Damn it really is. My sad self feels lame AF my loaves have to be in pans or moulds because my challah braid shamed me so badly I now just shove it in a braid mould so it looks braided. I felt like Kip driving away when the Tupperware broke. Just like “man.”
I felt like Kevin with the chilli

I like it too but I’m normal. Just know about 5 66ish year old women who are quite fabulous if a little out of touch are freaking out about “Deb’s daughter TALKED TO A SHOW WRITER SO BY PROXY WE ARE LIVING OUR DREAM”

I thought your hair was like cornrowed to the side at first and I hated I had to “enhance enhance… phew close call lassies.” And put away my fbi hat. Anyway my mum made me tell you the first wives club (her friend group) loves your work but she doesn’t do social media so I’ve been sent to fangirl

Fun bible fact of the day: in the original Hebrew, it's not frogs plural, but just one giant frog that comes and plops itself down and covers the entire land by itself. Beeg frog boi

Are your drivers still pissing in bottles while your CEO spends all that money on a wedding knowing he cheats? Oh that’s right yall aren’t even a real account.

If only one person gets this it’s worth it; the person you are in a relationship with does not invalidate your experience or identity. You never have to choose your queerness or your BIPOC identity. Think about the things the “in crowd” has stanned. Don’t use their standard for merit & respect.

Don’t be surprised that many people are leaving en masse. Bluesky had juice, then when the toxicity began & hit critical mass, it was embraced. People who spoke out were slammed, then pearls were clutched when victims came forward. You cannot believe anything is above constructive criticism.

Before you speak to someone especially someone you don’t know at all, ask yourself these questions;
1) is it kind
2) is it true
3) is it necessary

Every time I meet someone or engage with someone, regardless of the circumstances, I remember I can learn at least 1 thing from them.

Be better.

If you know you’re still “uncomfortable” around women in hijab, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, then remove yourself from any situation that for some reason their presence bothers you. It’s not fair to embarrass someone else because of how you feel when they are literally not involving you at all.
