Okay the Lilith Fair documentary made me cry and I am cringe but I am free

I need Emmylou Harris to write a memoir please

cannot stop thinking about this anecdote

I would like to thank one of my group chats for reminding me that the good seasons of Great British Bake-Off (the Mel and Sue ones) are on the Roku Channel. I need to watch the Nadiya season yet again.

if anyone ever shoots me to death i want one of you to go to the scene of the crime with a sharpie and write 'i'm envious of how sexy graham is' on all the spent cases

I just want to keep pointing this out. While federal law enforcement authorities avoid providing an answer, local news media in Dallas are reporting all three victims were immigrant detainees.

Whoever made bisexual day and redhead day the same truly had my number

Getting raptured and leaving behind my IUD and the plate in my right ankle

Okay how is an 0-2 team ranked

I mean you're either pro-choice or pro-women dying of septic miscarriages, living in fear, lacking bodily autonomy, etc. We've had more than three years to see what lack of reproductive rights looks like, and it looks like a sadistic nightmare.

This is the bio in question and if it’s authentically her … big no

I just Googled Breezewood PA for the hell of it, and that Taco Bell is now called Sultan Kabob Restaurant Breakfast Shop. If that's not a perfect encapsulation of the promise of this country, I don't know what is. maps.app.goo.gl/bLTm5s4yJ4Y7...
