Some days, time makes sense. I do not know what kind of day today is

The bird or the trampoline?

I wanted an electric truck that cost less than most cars. The cyber truck is not that truck and tesla is not the same company that promised that truck years ago

I try to take to heart that somebody is always learning about something basic for the first time and that that's okay BUT where the hell have you been the last couple of months that you haven't heard of DOGE the agency?!?!

Wait, I read the article and the headline is pretty much on point? What am I missing?

These themed hotels are getting out of hand

Inherenting extra chromosomes is generational wealth

As of 3:00 PM EST, it's down over 15% on the day and in a bit of a further swing 😍

This is what happens when you make exceptions to the prime directive and hope nobody notices

Jokes on you, I just keep tab groups on my phone. Only 3 groups of 500 tabs are hanging out and it's it's own overwhelming problem...

It's rewarding but also very challenging. We take teens and teens sure know how to get in trouble. We only take one at a time and are currently taking a break cause we had two really challenging kids in a row and it took a toll on us.

So kids have a case worker and foster parents have a certification worker. Our certification worker basically does the work of presenting us with kids they think would be a good placement. If you have an available bed, you can bet your cert worker will be hitting you up often with "hey, we've got this kid in this situation, their history is blah". Sometimes it can be an emergency, sometimes it can be something with some heads up. Since we are newer, we haven't taken anyone in who is brand new to the system

Our approach is that we provide a family environment. We don't have any kids of our own, so when someone comes in, we treat them as exactly we would if we were capable and did have our own. So like, we did have a kid for just the weekend the other week. We watched Frieren together, I took them to the arcade, we went for Boba, and took the dog to the dog park. This kid is coming from a foster parent who's clearly just using kids as a paycheck. The money we get paid is supposed to go to taking care of the kid, and we make sure to do that since we do pretty well and don't have to worry about much
