I’m self employed so I can technically give myself whatever title I want, should I be getting more creative than “psychologist”?

Every time I see a celebrity in a commercial I like to go, “Huh I guess they ran out of money”

So I was scrolling TikTok and I’ve now seen two different people share that they tried to travel internationally and got stopped at two different foreign customs (Thailand and Italy) because the system said they had cancelled their passports.

Um. On a scale from 1 to Handmaid’s Tale. How worrying is this?

Like, it’s only two people. But a really specific thing to happen twice.

Both people seem fine physically and are free to post online. 1 got sent back to US and 1 got a temp passport card.

Made a resolution to set up a store front to sell prints of my artwork and just registered the LLC! My unsolicited advice to everyone is you can register an LLC directly through the your state. All these companies that charge a big fee to do it for you are scams.

I’m in a few local pay it forward groups so that I can help my neighbors when I’m able and there’s this guy in one who’s always commenting “You just want a handout.” Not sure why someone with this attitude is spending their time in this group. No idea why the admins let him stay but I’ve decided to start trolling him and I’m open to suggestions.

Nobody Asked Me: Family Oriented

Welcome back to Nobody Asked Me, the blog column where I answer advice letters that were not sent to me. Today's letter was sent to Dear Abby, and as always, I am sure her response was perfectly fine, but here is mine also.

LOL in one of my Superstore Facebook groups a guy misquoted something, so I shared the correct quote. He told me I was wrong. I shared the transcript. He said, "Go watch the episode." So I pulled up the scene on Peacock and took a video of the line (I was right). He blocked me. 🤣 🤣 🤣

South Dakota update: SNAP recipients will won’t get their benefits tomorrow.

Going to call The Banquet and see what their biggest need is, see if we can drop anything off 💜

Please help or boost if you're able! One Spirit Lakota is raising funds for the food pantry in anticipation of EBT cards possibly not getting filled for November due to the shutdown.

Funds go to feeding residents of Pine Ridge, which already has one of the worst food deserts in the country.

Me when someone else makes a mistake: Listen to me. You are amazing. You are beyond wonderful. It's ok. It was barely even a mistake. You are made of stardust and I love you.
