Playing Tripoli with dad, boyfriend and a couple of dads friends. Things are getting heated. 🤣

This feels very much like that flat earther documentary where a guy did a very intricate experiment to prove the earth is flat, only to be forced to acknowledge that the results indicated the earth is round. (He insisted he was right and that the experiment he designed was flawed)

Y’all seriously have no idea how shitty it is to be a Detroit Lions fan.

I miss Frank Ragnow.

Draft OL. Only OL. What a disaster. Without proper protection, Goff is a disaster.

Jared Goff is a good guy. And with a OL that can give him a little better than average time in the pocket, he’s a way above average QB. But with this OL? With a center that can’t snap? He’s a liability.

I feel bad that Kingsley Eguakun got put into a position that he clearly has no business being in. But dude sucks at center.

Fire everyone.

If the Vikings just started direct snapping to Jones, they completely take control of this game. Brosner is the only player keeping the Lions in it.

Love all my millennial friends. But I’m sorry. I don’t get the appeal of Snoop unless he’s narrating nature videos.

Officials screwing Detroit early in the game on Christmas.

Sausage gravy. We’ve had a “will they/won’t they” thing for years.

Merry Christmas!!

Drunk fun Christmas is fun.

My dad’s apprentice’s fiancée Chloe is so lovely. Most everyone has gone home, but she and I are in the kitchen talking about girl stuff and the boys are in the garage drinking some kind of fancy whisky Michael brought. Rip van winkle or something.

Dad’s apprentice came up to me kinda joking, but not really: “so this is what Christmas is supposed to be like. Not hiding in a corner feeling like everyone hates you.”

Um. No.

My dad invited people over for a little party. A few of his Elks club friends. A widowed neighbor. His trans apprentice and his enby fiancée. And his trans daughter and her cis boyfriend. I feel confident my dad is very much in a position he never imagined he’d be in 🤣

The garage beer fridge is a Midwest holiday staple unlike any other.

Merry Transmas! 🎄⛄💄💅

It's not really Christmas until one of your dad's friends says, "Who's Chet and why are his nuts roasting on an open fire?"

Life is beautiful and precious. You have no obligation to share even a second of it with people who don't accept you without condition. Doesn't matter if they are family or not.

They are still sleeping. I'm starting breakfast and will go slow. But I'm waking up these bums when it's ready.

10 am is the absolute latest 2 grown men who probably drank too many beers get to sleep in on Christmas Eve, right?

If you were hungover: would you rather have savory breakfast (eggs, potatoes, biscuits and gravy) or sweet breakfast (blueberry pancakes with Upper Peninsula wild blueberries). It’s savory right?

I think my boys (dad and boyfriend) had a little too much to drink last night. I was going to make them a big breakfast, but they are both still sleeping. Not sure when they went to bed. I went at 2am and they were still having garage beers.

My dad and my boyfriend are apparently best friends now. And I love that for them. But I’m feeling kinda left out 🫤

Beer tastes better when you’re home.

The obvious follow-up would be: why wouldn’t you agree to be interviewed? But that’s actual journalism.

There's a billboard at the Michigan Ohio border that says "Kogel's welcomes you home!" Kogel's makes the best hot dogs in the world and I love that billboard.

I mistaken walked into a women's restroom once, and just decided to stay.

No makeup. Starting to break out. Who cares? It’s Christmas Eve Eve and I’m passenger princess!

Also: can we bring back fainting being such an acceptable response to stuff that we make furniture specifically for it? “Pineapple on pizza!? Oh my stars!” Falls dramatically into velvet couch.

According to US News, the Republican-led state of Louisiana is ranked 50th overall. No higher than 44th in any category studied (50th is crime and economy). Yet the governor is spending time trying to annex Greenland. This is what republican leadership looks like.

Still unpopular. Still true.

We really want to charm them. Show them how great we are. How much we take care of our own. Trump administration: let’s send a representative from one of our most impoverished and poorly performing states in education that’s best known for us abandoning them after a disaster! The food is great!

There’s no such thing as a “fake opinion.” There are bad opinions. There are even bad faith opinions. But not fake ones. Trump’s argument is for the lowest common denominator (which makes up most of his non wealthy base): people who can’t think for themselves.

Insanely creeped out by a “game recognizes game” fan letter from one sexual abuser to another. Which also mentions our disgusting monster of a president. This hits so hard as a trans woman, seeing our existence demonized as a threat to woman and girls.

My friend sent me this clip of a movie with Tina Fey, where she's at a bar with a friend and a guy wants to buy her a drink, and she's like, "But I already have a drink, do you think he'll buy me mozzarella sticks?" And I'm pretty sure I've never felt more seen.

Still true.

This is the funniest boxing recap I've ever read (granted, I haven't read many, but this is good).

Every time I block an unsolicited reply guy, I level up.

Only seven points separate the No. 1 and No. 12 teams in the NHL's eastern conference. BUT- The Red Wings are currently No. 2, just two points behind Carolina. Lots of season left, but that's a good sign.

Watching Loony Tunes reruns when I was a kid left me completely unprepared to deal with the reality that mice don't live in fully furnished apartments found on the other side of clean cut holes in baseboards.

This is the content you get when the Lions lose and Marcy has at least three too many beers...

I think monogamy would be more popular if instead of monogamists, we could be monogleupaguses.

No. Like 63% of my Bluesky activity is me whining about stuff. And while you might not like, at least a few people find my whining to be cheeky and endearing.

The fucked it part is, without even trying, I could name at least 10 other games the Lions have lost by one score that ended with: a controversial call, refs not knowing the rules or the league having to make a new rule the following season to clarify bad officiating.

So the NFL can call from New York to have a touchdown negated when the Lions played KC, but they can’t call to have a guy punching fans ejected? 🤡

Doesn’t her whole schtick play like a storyline from The Righteous Gemstones?
