Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Always Anti-fascist!

great news. as I have written fairly exhaustively, kind of feel that my education bordered on a waste. But if i had to pay for it too, I suppose I'd be, like, intellectual Catwoman or something(and not just cause I got the sweatpants)

Great news, sumi!

That's pretty, Brenda. Neat idea.

Yay, Jesse and other filers!

Why awake? Not on.

Yay sumi!

Sadly the Fox News of it all continues for my dance group and there have apparently been credible violent threats to the point where they canceled our dance tonight and the one for Tuesday. Yikes. Texts went around and some of us (maybe 35 people?) met up at the community college a couple blocks away from where we’d usually dance and had some discussion (still plenty to be had) and then some dancing in the college’s basketball gym. Which yay for that but heavy to be worrying about some crazy person hating on us and threatening violence. Ugh.

Sumi, that is great news!

I filed my city taxes this morning, and since I pay estimated quarterly taxes, even though I know what the percentage is, I always wonder how far off I am. For 2023 city taxes, I overpaid by... a grand total of 53 cents! I love when I get that close on my taxes.

Federal will be a whole other thing, though. I need Tim to wake up and give me his tax documents so I can get all this off my plate.

Wow, meara, that’s terrible! I’m so sorry y’all have to deal with that.
