It's been said before: Don't pay it forward in the coffee line. The person behind you has enough money for coffee. They were in line for coffee. You want to know who doesn't have enough money for a coffee, possibly? Your barista. Tip your baristas well, instead of paying for the guy behind you's coffee who is now locked into an order because that's what you paid for. Think about who would benefit more, and who would appreciate it more.

Attack of the Cybermen: part 1 is 46 minutes long? An experiment? @doctorwho #DoctorWho

Transphobes are losing their minds over the most recent episode of Doctor Who. Good. Go away. Leave my fandom alone.

#FountainPen Mastodon! I have a question! Since cleaning my pen, it works really well. But it seems to bleed an awful lot. Is there a way to make the ink bleed less?

It's a K Cup, so I don't know how it happened, but my coffee that I have every morning tasted terrible. The Keurig in my office has been in operation for a little over a week, so it's not that it's dirty or anything.

I have this really (obnoxiously) loud Halloween dress. Do I wear it tomorrow for the wine and books thing tomorrow night?

So, like... how kosher is this, or not? I mean, it's pig protein, but it's not pig?

Got my alarm set for lighting candles tonight because I have ADHD and WILL lose track of time.

Got cash so I can vacuum out my car. It had better not be more than $20 to use the vacuum at the car wash. I haven’t done it in so long. What’s the going rate?

I was in school before most schools had a free breakfast program. This meant most mornings I did not eat breakfast. By mid morning, it was hard to concentrate. I'd be watching the clock until lunch, which I got for free due to financial hardship. This was alleviated when I went to a school with free breakfast, for which I qualified. I still had ADHD struggles, but at least I wasn't watching the clock anymore, waiting for lunch. There was a brief time where I didn't qualify for free lunch. Lunch looked like a peanut butter sandwich, often without jelly, or buttered bread, and sometimes just a carrot. Subsidized school meals was a lifeline for me. Now some people want to grow the program, so that kids don't fall through the gap like I did, and others want to take it away completely. Children can't learn when they're hungry. And sometimes, those school meals are the only decent meals they have. Summers can be rough.

I'm a wreck today.

I need to get into shape. I mean better shape. I’m in a shape now and it’s not too flattering. Too bad this doesn’t happen magically and requires actual effort.

Someone implied I was missing out on The Bacon Experience(tm)... but I'm not. I'm really not. Bacon is overplayed.

Some dude saying I “skipped school” because I was calling soy milk milk. Look, asshole, I have a masters in the organization of information. If I wanna call soy milk milk for ease of understanding then I fucking will. Blocked.

I'm sure other people in nonprofits face this problem. When you're short on funds, they say "just write another grant." It doesn't work like that. You have to find a grant that aligns with stuff you are already doing, and fund those programs that way, or you have to invent a new program that will align with the grant. No one gives grants for operating costs, which is what NPs need most of all. And "just" write a grant. Those things take time to research to find one you MAY qualify for, then time to make contact within the organization because you only have something like a 20% chance of getting a grant if you aren't invited to apply... then you have to write thing, which can take weeks or months of gathering information and statistics, and things from other organizations. One grant required a map of the flood plain and a letter from a city engineer that the library was NOT in the flood plain. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THAT TAKES? sigh it's never as easy as "just write another grant."

We are getting a family portrait done on Sunday. It will be our first one in 20 years.

It’s that time of year where normally I would keep cash on me at all times in case of a random Girl Scout cookie sales. In solidarity with hubs, I will forego this year.

All done. Tomorrow is my day off, but I have to return the microphones 35 miles away, return the banners to the radio station and return the podium to a local org. Omg. I am so tired. Tomorrow is going to be a challenge.

I’m about to find out if you can freeze potato salad.

I've tried to rehome her without success so I've made the painful decision to return Trina to the shelter. I haven't had a full night's sleep in six weeks, and she's bothering the upstairs neighbor with her barking in the middle of the night, so it's putting my housing status in jeopardy. I am utterly heartbroken and I've done nothing but sob for two and a half hours. It hurts to know she's going to be alone and scared there, and looking for me and wondering why I am not coming back for her. I know I am a shitty human being for doing this, and I will hate myself for the rest of my life for doing this. Please don't come at me about this, I won't be able to take it.

While I'm thinking about it--folks are good about image descriptions, which is great! Let's see everyone capitalizing every word in their tags, too! Screen readers can read each word if they're capitalized. Otherwise they just smoosh all the words together into one incomprehensible super word. #MurderOnTheOrientExpress is way more comprehensible than a word salad. And yes, capitalize those prepositions and articles even though you wouldn't in other forms of writing. Let's keep things nice for everyone.
