I'm reading Garrett Graff's wonderful book "When the Sea Came Alive" an oral history of the D-Day invasion. The minute by minute planning was incredible. These dopes just decided to wing it. It'll take 100 years for the US to recover from this catastrophe if ever

People are afraid of disability and chronic illness
They canโt comprehend getting sick and never getting better
They tell us to try harder
They blame it on lifestyle choices
They label us expendable and tell themselves theyโll be the exception
No one is the exception.
It can happen to anyone.

This administration has bollixed the Strait of Hormuz and sent gas prices soaring, yet _still_ wants to wage holy war against fuel-efficiency and emissions requirements? Sheer insanity.
This bill would need 60 votes in the Senate, which it won't get, but my god is it insulting. "Congress must act now to protect the health and safety of women.โ
Women need protection from creeps like Josh Hawley trying to force them to give birth

I'm afraid free and open platforms like itch.io are the most vulnerable to agentic slop.

We had another 4:30am security camera notification, totally panicked thinking we had another break-in (thereโs nothing left to steal other than tea, but it could happen).
It was a spider building a web in front of the motion sensor. ๐๐ท๏ธ๐ธ๏ธ

Just like every other streamer on planet Earth, I opted to try some Slay the Spire 2 during the week of its Early Access release. I've only done one run so far, but I'm extremely impressed and expect to try and explore all the basics of the new release on stream soon! youtu.be/9tJ-X9NQnCI
Did what I could just now to help. Best of luck to you and your TEAm in this repair and recovery time. I've always appreciated the work and care you all put into the community, and the tea products which have always been top-notch!
3.2) If we need to crowdfund a bit, I'll let y'all know. We've had a ton of offers on that front, so good to know the option exists for anything the city won't cover.
Also, we have a general donation fund if you wanna!

This clown also stole $100 in loaded gift cards set aside for donation TO CHARITY. What do we think the appropriate curse to lay on them, tea witches?
Yeah, they only stole our safe, but they broke a shelf in doing so. Also they bent our door frame so we canโt close the door. ๐ญ
Weโre finally going cashless, folks. Gotta put up the ol โno cash, no safeโ sign like a few other local spots have already done.
