Oh man, I can't even imagine the devastation you felt. I am so sorry that happened, and I'm grateful that you can talk about it now.

I use Textra on Android and I can select which parts of a message to copy. I'm using the paid version and have for years, so I'm not sure whether that's a standard feature or premium. The day Messages stopped letting me color-code each conversation was the day I quit using it; I can't tell you how many times each person being a distinct color has saved my ass from texting the wrong stuff to the wrong person.

Hurray! And then, if we can all stop pretending that pregnancy is magic and babies are awesome, maybe mothers will feel less monstrous when they're struggling and more willing to seek help.

Pregnancy and mothering an infant was the hardest and worst extended period in my life - I've had individual, shorter worse experiences, but that was the longest stretch of misery I've had. Meanwhile, people were telling me that I should savor every moment because it just gets harder! 🤦😂 I can laugh about that now, but jfc did it make me suicidal to think that!

If you're suffering through that period too and surrounded by people telling you how awesome it is - maybe that was their experience, but it's totally okay if it isn't yours, because it wasn't mine either, but things got better. Once your child can communicate, that lessens the difficulty dramatically. And if you ever wanna bitch to a sympathetic mom who is open about the shitshow it all can be, I am here for it. ❤️

US has imperial for everything but guns and drugs

If we're talking legal drugs, my prescriptions all come in milligrams.

If we're talking illegal drugs, though fractions of ounces or pounds were more common, it wasn't unusual to come across someone selling stuff by the gram back in the day, and I can't imagine that's changed. The weed dude would sell any amount at $10/gram - and yes, I did see someone come with $3 once. 😂 I don't remember the coke dude's prices because that was much longer ago, but he was also totally fine with selling single grams.

Maybe my experience was different because I live in a college town, so the black market was supportive of the small purchases necessitated by student budgets.

I think they'd pull in even more if the DA were signing them, but I don't see any reason to not offer a variety of signature options. They might even sell some to Republicans if they do a Trump-signed version.

Beehaw is currently financially sustainable.

This cup seems worried! Is it worried for you? Are you doing okay?

Don't we eventually find out the AIs are oppressing the humans and siphoning off their life-force/brain-power through the use of the portal system and that humanity's actual salvation comes from deeply believing in the power of love to the point of developing the ability to teleport to beloved places and people?

I'm very interested in this proverb! How do you use it? Is it sorta the same as "don't count your chickens before they're hatched"?

That cat is straight up high off the thrill of that box! Mine only get stars in their eyes like that when they're lusting after my cereal milk.

Idk what their county budget looks like, but if they would set up a shop where interested parties could easily buy prints of that mug shot, I would cheerfully bet my favorite nipple that they will be running a surplus for a very long time.
