Little snow. Light snowfall appears. Northern winds have blown the last leaves from the trees. 🌨

just now realizing I'm going to be in "waiting mode" for like, a month, unless I can get management to tell me which day or even which week to expect the inspection

real quick, I am so, so so so so so, thankful this instance doesn't have the "explore" button :blobhug:

it's still got a lot of crap on it but later when I want to wipe the table down it won't be as much of a nightmare to move everything 😄 progress!!

while I'm pretty sure the apt inspection that I was alerted of via e-mail isn't legit (we've never had to have inspections before)

however, it was a good excuse to finally dust off/tidy up my desk :3

Today in "restrictive laws on gender negatively affect everyone":

Apparently it's not uncommon for a baby to be issued a birth certificate with an incorrect gender marker (according to genitalia), and it's NOT POSSIBLE to get it corrected after the fact, for *anyone* in the UK!

Shopping for smart bulbs and I was just confronted with this absolute humdinger of "AI" grift. I don't want to live on this planet any more

Need mutual aid, please boost :boost_ok: urgent 

Hey everyone. I'm still in a rough spot financially. I've been able to get through the past few months and paid my rent consistently, but I'm running out of steam as my loan and overdraft fees are kicking my ass.

I'm back to working 5 days a week this month to get my pay back up and my rent is paid this month. I'm out of money for the month and heavily my overdraft limits.

To cover the overdraft and make sure I can afford necessities for the end of the month, I'm setting the goal at 500€. I know it's high but getting anywhere close that goal would help a ton.

Any amount helps, and if you can't or don't want to give, even just a boost goes a long way.

Thank you :heart_nb:

guns mentioned 

Hey, real talk

just buying a gun doesn't solve any problems whatsoever

thanks for my 4 second TED talk that should be fucking obvious from the news but I guess not!

Fedi, there is a spam campaign with only a QR code attached. I don't recommend scanning the QR code. I don't know what it does, I've heard that it tries to scrape your IP - but it's just good practice to not scan unknown QR codes. Report this spam if you see it, the account names are often gibberish.
