We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination.

Florida brings in over $127 billion a year from tourism, nearly 8% of its economy and it relies on your vacation dollars. Just like the Tesla boycott, withhold your money. Don’t fund cruelty.

If we stick together as a resistance, you’d be surprised how much power we hold. Remember: One thing we can control is where our money goes and who benefits from it.

Nothing to see here, just me trying to upvote my own comments on Wowhead that I posted 2 years ago and forgot about. 🙈 #WhyIsntThisWorking

Looking for clear visualizations of the latest climate change data? 📈🌎

Feel free to use and share any of my real-time graphics. I am also working (in my free time) to secure alternative data sources in case of future federal budget cuts. Let me know if you have questions or if these visuals help your work – I always love hearing how they are used!

Father-in-law: Are there pickles?

Me: Yes, but they're in the fridge.

*five minutes later*

FiL: *angry* Why has nobody brought me pickles?

Me: You didn't ask anyone to.

FiL: I asked the room.

Me: You asked if there were pickles. I told you they were in the fridge.

FiL: *pretending I haven't spoken*

Me: It's not my job to ask someone to get things for you when you could just ask yourself.

My husband: Dad, do you want some pickles?

FiL: I guess not!

Is my myalgia excessive since I just woke up from a nap, or are the kids being a little extra bouncy right now? 🤨

Definitely not an earthquake; the vibration is wrong.

On the one hand, it would be really cool to make this soldier character deaf. On the other hand, my protagonist is about to kill him and all his friends, and that feels somewhat less cool. A downside of two-sided storytelling.

Please boost for reach!

Hi all, my family and I could really use your help! The doctor failed to properly document my illness, and so I am not receiving short-term disability. We found out when the money didn't show up. We have nothing saved; we are still trying to catch up on bills from being unemployed most of last year.

Urgent expenses:

* Funds for meals for the coming week. We are feeding 2 adults and 2 preteens.
* About $120 for a new tire due to a blowout (yes, this is at the low end, thanks to the tarrifs)

Less urgent, but still important:

* Electric Bill $143.51 (Due Date 07/07)
* Water Bill $137.99 (due 07/22)
* Phone $458.09 (due 07/10; past due amount can't get an extension on that, it is the extension)
* Car Payment $1135.49 (2 months past due, next due date 07/08)
* Back property taxes payment $726 (06/26 past due, next due date 07/26)
