Anybody still arguing the bad economic feelings are just media induced vibes when there are plenty of data points to the contrary has nothing useful to say.

The richest 10% own 2/3 and over 55 own 3/4 of household wealth, and their spending is driving current consumption. Meanwhile, personal debt, late bills, and other signs of stress are going up for everyone else. Homelessness is way up.

If you still need a clue, you don't want to know the answer.

I’m just going to say it.

Cardi B eating pancakes has made this whole year so far worth it ALL.

I love silver but Pandora came into style when we were flat broke. I have the beautiful silver snake chain bracelet one can now buy $50 cheaper on Amazon 🤦🏼‍♀️.
I have some cheap charms.

Wear it, wear everything you can every time you can.

Don’t save it for special occasions.
YOU are special occasion enough.

Well, there.

Pandora bracelet all polished.

I like jewelry.

From a blown glass or rose quartz heart on a leather thong necklace, to a large, flashy sapphire cocktail ring, I like my jewelry.

I save money & when I find it, I buy it.

All of that to say I used to wear a lot of rings Teen son said, you’re going to be “an old lady with all of those rings.”

So I immediately dropped to 3, at most.

Now I’m layering silver bracelets.
Only one bangle.

Can’t wait to hear it from him at 36.

It probably would have been better if I had waited until after I polished my somewhat dull Pandora Silver bracelet to put it on, huh?

I kept waiting for my son to help me and I finally said, fork it, I can do it myself, (why do I hear a two year old?) and put it on.

I had put the purple clown glass beads on it, clown? blown, glass beads on it and just could not WAIT to wear it.

Now I have to take it off.

There are advantages to being an insomniac.
So many. I’ve learned to look at the bright side.
The not bright side is when people expect me to be on real World time!

Another product photographed today, but not tested yet (I had to charge it up first) is a USB-C charged, cordless portable coffee grinder, the Discovery II from Staresso.

I will honestly be surprised if it has the sustained torque to grind coffee, and do more than one or two 18g batches. Grinders need a LOT of torque to work. Even using a powerful cordless drill sometimes stutters on manual grinders.

It’s been a wonderful day.

After puttering and resting yesterday, today I was productive.

All of the laundry is done, the sink is almost empty, dishwasher has been run, and my kitchen table is closer to being ready to do crafts on. The inside and outside plants have been tended to.
My son helped me put a cheap “clip on” plant light over the sansiverias because they just stopped doing everything when they lost their light.

I hope you’ve had a good day.

I really like some surprises.
I don’t like them at all, as a general rule.

Sometimes I get lucky.

I received an email from Family Search concerning my relatives listed in “find a grave.”

I really hadn’t done much there.

Found 6th great grandparents buried in hometown. Never knew that!

Found 5th great grandpa McCallum from Scotland.

For an adoptee, this is a goal mine.

I’ve had identity issues my entire life. If this is a way to help? So be it.

I’ve been in a grief funk since the first of the year and very lazy about housework.

The kitchen countertops were covered in unwashed dishes and and there’s some litter strewn about the rest of the house.

The countertops are now clean and I’m starting to chip away at the rest of the mess.

Might even get some groceries and stop eating expensive delivery food for every meal.

If I say, I’m no fan of nazis, does this mean someone out there will think I’m encouraging people to like them.🤔 🙄

I decided when I started straightening my craft storage that it was going to be happy day music.

Fully charged Bluetooth headphones on, of course.

Everything is done and I’m still listening.

Happy day music, indeed.

Should be interesting to watch what the high temps do in Texas.

It's one year today that I lost my beautiful little sister. It only becomes harder as time goes by

Gorgeous, talented, sweet who endured much too much suffering.

I think I lost my good morning post.

Hey everyone!
It’s almost 1 and I’ve yet to do many things but everything important has been attended to.
Pets and coffee.
Uhh, meds next.

It’s a beautiful day.
I get to stay home and rest and maybe get some crafting done.
If not today, then tomorrow.

Those are my weekend plans.

I hope the rest of your day goes well. 🌻

Pagan_Animist, 2 days ago to random

Hmmm.

I think
“Don’t be kind
I want the real you”
has some real validity.

I’ve seen some major “Be kind” and Kindness matters” proponents act in manners I never would, you know?

Just show me your real face.
You’ve seen mine.

Things that are not anti-semitism:

1. Calling Israel's war in Gaza and the West Bank Genocidal. (both cultural and physical)

2. Calling Israel's decades of treatment of Palestinians Apartheid.

3. Calling Israel's actions violent colonialism.

4. Boycotting, Divesting, and Sanctioning (BDS) Israeli government and companies while the above continue.

If you claim these are anti-semitic actions then you need to check your privilege.

I guess they had stuffed the front row with "friendlies." It's hard to tell what's going on watching the livestream...

A @pmpress book on the Floyd uprising.

He (George Floyd) was murdered today four years ago.

The blurb of the book, "IN THE summer of 2020, America experienced one of the biggest uprisings in half a century. After George Floyd's murder. at the hands of Minneapolis police, angry crowds took to the streets night after night, fighting the police, looting, and eventually burning down the Third Precinct. The revolt soon spread to cities large and small across the country, where rioters set police cars on fire, sacked luxury shopping districts, and forced the president into hiding in a bunker beneath the White House. Throughout the summer and into the fall, localized rebellions continued to erupt in Atlanta, Chicago, Kenosha, Louisville, Philadelphia, and elsewhere. Written during the riots, The George Floyd Uprising is a compendium of the most radical writing to come out of that long, hot summer. These incendiary dispatches from those on the front lines of the struggle-examine the new horizons opened by the revolt, as well as the social, tactical, and strategic obstacles it confronted. This practical, inspiring collection offers a toolbox for all those actively seeking to expand and intensify revolts in the future, and it is essential reading for everyone interested in toppling the state, racism, and capitalism."
