Krita had been great for most of my work.

For me, I listen. A lot of long form content is more like a podcast than a video.

I think about her all day long.

That was painfully unfunny.

Oh leftover pasta is amazing my friend! Look up “pasta bake” recipes.

The expense is land. Often, land location matters more in pricing than what’s on the land.

I’m currently browsing with a kitten asleep across my neck. Nothing better in the world.

Saying “supply and demand” as if that settles the issue is reductive. It tells us prices moved, not why the market is structured this way. The real questions are what’s driving demand, who controls supply, and how concentrated power has become. When three suppliers and a handful of effectively unlimited buyers dominate the entire market, with weak or absent regulatory intervention, Econ 101 stops being analysis and starts becoming a thought-terminating cliché.

Do both for maxx effect!

Charismaxxing is where it’s at. It literally gets you everything you want in life.

That’s exactly the trick. The rich don’t become rich by selling their assets. They become powerful by never having to.

They pledge their stock as collateral, borrow against it, and live off debt instead of income. No sale means no capital gains tax. No liquidation means no crash in their holdings. Meanwhile, the underlying assets keep appreciating.

Their “paper wealth” may not be cash, but it buys access to virtually unlimited credit, and credit becomes power.

At that level, wealth isn’t about liquidity. It’s about leverage, and leverage is power.

Looks like my Spakle! She is even on the same cat tree!

It absolutely is. Soft, warm, and apparently now part of the treatment plan.

We haven’t named it yet, but now I feel like we should. I will suggest it to her! My first pick would Milo ;)

The blanket is elite-tier comfort. Definitely carried most of the workload that day. She fell asleep with it. I snapped the picture while she was snoozing.

Thank you. We appreciate it!

Thank you. I was honestly in shock for the first few hours after we got the diagnosis. The first time I cried wasn’t when I heard the word cancer, it was when I thought about her losing her hair. It’s been one of the hardest parts for her to come to terms with.

Since then she’s been trying on different scarves, wraps, and styles, and I think that’s helped her regain some sense of control over something that felt inevitable. She’s feeling much better about it now than she was a few weeks ago.

This is only week one, though, so we’re still very much at the beginning of the journey and haven’t experienced most of what treatment will bring yet.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the encouragement. Hearing from people who’ve already walked this road means a lot right now.

Thank you, and congratulations on the remission. It’s my wife who is in the chair. She was diagnosed with Stage IIB triple-negative breast cancer. The plan is chemo and Keytruda first, then surgery and radiation. Her pet scan cleared the lymphnodes and no signs of spread so we are VERY hopeful.
