Cici had her annual vet visit and managed not to draw blood from anyone so we’re counting that a great success

At one point, the camera turned back and you see it’s the ENTIRE class chasing that dude off, wow.

made two new friends today

Mary Ann and Wanda were the best of friends All through their high school days And if they'd gone ahead and dated each other A lot of time could have been saved

can't really say anything about the Hegseth speech that won't get me in trouble so I'm gonna go get a tattoo about it

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

the thing that gets me about these scams (like all book scams) is, like… you’re going after *authors*? you think authors have *money*? have you met an author, ever??

finally watching Andor (I know, I know) and I turned to my husband and said “my conjunctions are and/or” and now he won’t speak to me

the ones who breast boobily away from Omelas

While going through text messages from Kaleb—insert an image of Charlie Brown saying “sigh” here—I found this, from about a year ago. The point he was making applies to all of us.

Hi! I borrowed $300m from the worst people in the world to buy your favourite thing! Now your favourite thing owes me $300m and sadly it looks like it can’t pay me back so I’ve taken it out back and shot it. Anyways, just wanted to ask… what’s your *second* favourite thing?

Literally two mass shootings by vets with foreign combat experience and some pretty clear untreated PTSD in a single day, good thing our entire counterterrorism apparatus has been redirected to landscapers and enby teenagers

I reviewed ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, an exquisitely, unbelievably beautiful film about the overwhelming, life-ruining burden of trying to fight fascism while also living some kind of human life. www.patreon.com/posts/139949...
