Post-mow patio time with the dog friends

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

Evening garden meditations

You can think about what others think about you and have whatever emotions you want, but know who you are and believe in it and have rigorous reasons for doing so, loving your friends and those closest to you is the only counterbalance to being a gigantic hater.

Even after @jaketapper.bsky.social's new book, people are claiming they had no idea Joe Biden's condition was so bad. But SNL was never fooled - they had been pointing it out for years. Here are the receipts: www.anti-knowledge.com/p/snl-knew-a...

CHEERS: 🎶 making your way in the world today takes everything you got ME: already in tears

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Teacher Asks What First Graders Want To Be Once Child Labor Laws Repealed
