Hang in there, Kalshane.

Amazing news, David! That's something, anyway.

I wish I had babka.

The way I tend to think of it as the rioters don't want such a pressing reason to riot.

Yeah, that. I reblogged a FB thing (an FB thing?) from a white guy about unions back in the day rioting and killing and etc. to get where they eventually got, and I wish everyone would read that shit and think about it.

Pets! Kids! Parents! People! Government! It's always something.

Yes.

Kalshane that sounds really hard. Also how is your kid 13??

Laura so glad skinner is going to be ok! And Savid that's so good that at least a few things were saved from the house.

In good news, my puppy had his vet visit and was deemed A Good Boy. Also a chonk since he weighed 4 pounds 3 weeks ago...and now weighs 7 pounds!!

A quick search for recipes and it seems like you can only make too much babka?

In other news, it's a little confusing to be watching The Umbrella Academy and reading the Parasol Protectorate at the same time.

Ha! You need some sort of Bumbershoot Organization podcast to round that out

I need to call my car insurance tomorrow because my automatic payment for my old policy just debited out of my account today. And pay day is tomorrow but if things go like my last paycheck my direct deposit won't clear my account until Sunday so if that happens I'll need to call the bank on Monday.

It's not much compared to what others are going through but little death duck nibbles.

Ha! You need some sort of Bumbershoot Organization podcast to round that out

Yes! Exactly.

Glad Skinner is okay! What a fright.

I'm about to go a few rounds with my new insurance company. They are refusing to cover my ritalin, and their charge for one of diabetes meds is more than I can reasonably pay. I can cover the ritalin, but it galls me, I shouldn't have to pay that out of pocket. The other one is probably a lost cause; I can apply for a reduced cost but I probably have too much in assets to qualify. Having some savings doesn't mean I can afford $200/month for one medication.

Matt, when you plant the next Biden sign in your mom's yard? Poke it down into the dirt in the middle of a set steel trap? Might give a stupid sign thief pause. Maybe.

I don't have a big cartoon-style steel trap laying around my apartment, but I do have a box of about 200 steel roofer's nails, a dozen spherical ceramic knobs left over from assembling my coat rack, and some green paint. Looks like I found a craft project to keep me occupied this weekend!

Zenkitty, don't forget to check GoodRx, which can help you if you're paying for it and not the insurance.
