Same! Exactly the same! The idea of constant haircuts & having to style it every day sounds like, well like it's not going to happen lol

I dunno this has some ominous vibes 👀 Have you been talking up our thick thighs to get us ready for the pit?
What all is in there? I'm always feeling like I've left something out of my pasta salad & yours looks amazing.
Do I fight you for her hand, or do we think there's enough for the 3 of us?
Family used to make fun of me for being hangry, but if you invite me over for dinner at 6:30 & the grill isn't even on yet at 8, I'm not sure what the surprise is 😭
Pulled out into traffic in front of a 19yo driver, got rear ended.
Lol back in the day, my Twitter friend group had a circle ending blow up over if women over 35 "should" have long hair. It was a whole wild flame out that people took to their blogs! 44 here & I have the same long, thick hair I had in highschool. Every 10-15 years I get bangs for one cycle.
Alt text: a tiny, fluffy, stocky black kitten stands in the sunshine in the middle of playing with her front feet spread wide while she stands on her back feet.
I was chatting with my husband about the "presidency" thing & we agree, every place else calls it the "student council" with a "student body/ASB/class president etc"
Dammit! Lol
Domino's upsells me just the crust for $2.99 every damn time. I cannot resist the garlic bread bites.
Back on my bullshit (laying on the forest floor letting the detritivores clean my bones)
My favorite answer because he would absolutely flub it up
Do they know you too well to fall for it if you play dumb? "What does 'Ward' mean in this context? Like a guard? Do you mean 'troupe' or 'cast'?"
We still say "Only Jesus can fix him" in like a Sicilian curse sort of way.
😭😂 I had a very sweet neighbor in her late 30s who had Downs. She LOVED tabloids. I don't recall the celebrity but she was reading one & said "She can fix him?! That's what his first 6 wives said! He's unfixable, only Jesus can fix him."
My grandfather had a saying that my dad passed down to me & I pass to anybody who needs it: The first person to do this (or the person who you are learning from!) didn't know any more than you do right now when they started. It helps me. Good reminders in this thread!
My daughter worked in both & walk ins & ERs are *busier* on Mondays, even holidays. People don't want to go on the weekend.
Robbing graves for seersucker suits, final answer.
Have some cute kitties, you've been good.
Then my best guess (as a patient who still has her hospital wristband listing her name as TRAUMA DELTA) is a multi victim car crash.
@kalendae-arum.bsky.social I just wanted to make sure you know you're not the only person with a basic understanding of AM radio & emergency alerts, my god. That convo made me feel like I was slipping into the insanity pools, but is a A+ example of people externalizing their own behavior/ignorance.
Man, this side you're ignorantly digging in on really seats you on the side with people who want to demolish all the safety regulations that took decades to claw out. What are you even doing right now. Wild fires & weather events are NOT going to be getting any better, my friend.
Yes. Weekly in the winter & twice just this week. Where do you live?? You see the sign flashing & you DON'T tune in?
Yup, land consolidation has for sure always been a part of this plan, both residential & ag. And our wealth in general, whatever it is we have to speak of.
Staff getting to the White House today
Gunckel’s Service Verona, OH
May he rot in hell & hurry getting there
When it's somebody you love, I refer to this as "pre-grief". You do a little pre grieving & it's still bad, but the shock of it is eroded a little. This is the opposite... pre-celebrating?
It's Friday night tho?
@amanjo.bsky.social DID YOU KNOW you can get custom crocs?
You really did the thing! I dropped just a can on my foot this week & made everybody look at the bruise & feel sorry for me 😅 I typed a response to this this morning but it looks like it was when we were going in & out of service
Yeah, I was curious myself & Google found a version from 2019. You can also slightly see a 2nd foot behind the center foot which ai wouldn't have included. Hate that we have to do this crap, but it's nice to see other people doing it.
I hope you're feeling better as quickly as you started feeling bad! It's wild when it hits you like a freight train like that
Hell yes!
I was in a little boutique toy store yesterday & bought something to put up for Christmas stockings. Because of where I was, after I paid, I looked the item up to see if it would be cheaper to buy more online. The item was 150% more expensive on Amazon than in the boutique toy store.
In those shoes! Sometimes I think about if we could time travel today's gear back to previous era hobbyists to blow their minds.
Tell your dog I said hi clothing sale! Buy any outerwear, get any shirt free & support puppers who need help getting vet care!
How's your foot??
Feels like "malicious" might be more accurate
I'm so lucky to be able to tag along on my husband's work trips around the state. I'm very easy to please & can make a vacation out of anything
And now I'm in the hotel room with a belly full of Mexican food & Uncle Buck just came on!! And we have chocolate cake & wine! 😭😭 Is this the best day?
I didn't see anybody else I know! The perfect visit to your hometown!
Got to spend the whole day w/my mama in my hometown! We went to my favorite brunch place & I got extra for at home, then we went to my favorite thrift store & a big one that's new since we moved & then to our old timey candy shop & the toy store & then to my favorite Mexican restaurant in the WORLD
Follow up question "How many Harris voters say it's okay to kick a child out of the house for being lgbtq?" is needed. That's not a "political view" & you'll see a hell of a flipped graph. Being lgbtq+ is the leading reason behind teen & young adult homelessness. Those parents aren't Harris voters.

My 23yo lives at home* still & their rent is cat box maintenance, which feels like a good deal for all involved honestly *which I love & they're welcome to be at home as long as is necessary ftr
Yo. Look at how cute this prairie dog pup is. Omg. Taken outside the passenger side of my car window right after it rained, ergonomically painful, but absolutely worth it! Video to be added later 🗺️
Leaf blower at any time is murder bait, but leaf blower at a hotel before 6:30am , then weed eating & mowing, then more leaf blower until 8? Why? Why do you hate me, personally, guy? Every time he stops long enough to wind down for more sleep, he starts up again. The worrrrst.
We had 2 (a 1yo & a 17yo), "fostered" a mama who had 5, kept 3, through a tragic event, one came back to us, so now we're at 6 & every day I think "I couldn't give up a single one of these guys" It's a a lot of cats & I still have times I don't know where anybody is!
Today is one of my favorite days! 12 years ago Bernalillo County was going to issue marriage licenses to Queer couples. The night before, we bought out Trader Joe's Calla Lillys. First thing that morning. Java Joes, grabbed 3 handles of coffee + all the fixing and headed to the court house.
My new daughter is a delight! We are extremely lucky!
Hey My eldest got engaged today There is still hope & love & beauty to be had
Is it 2023 again?! Because if it is, that'd be a real gift & we gotta change the time line
I had zero idea it had been around that long! I'm glad for people who like it, but I need more flavor than that 😭 Come to think of it, I don't think my dad packed anything to drink besides his thermos of coffee! But ALWAYS 2 sandwiches, because he got held over in a very rural area a lot
Might have finally found the thing to get me to buy la Croix!
A very excellent bodega kitty
Yes, there's a reason they fled to that country & put down roots.
Me, a cashier, striking up a conversation: so how do you like this model of captive bolt gun?
Exactly. Terrible advice given from a terrible place (the writer's shit perspective, that hospital was lovely).
Once I process my own trauma from the situations American health care has put us in, I'd really like to be a sitter at the hospital. We often talk about writing a "from this side of the bed" perspective on "sitting" with evidence based practices suggested
My kid has never hurt anybody & the warnings didn't match anything we've ever encountered. It's actively stigmatizing & harmful for people with a tv idea of mental illness to speak on it in a professional setting. Makes me wanna fight!
I'll never forget a horrifying bipolar "awareness" poster I saw the day my eldest was diagnosed that hospital staff made that ONLY talked about how bad bipolar is for the FAMILY & that we should call 911 if our person was trying to hurt us Wish I could say "fuck you" right to the person who made it
The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good
Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?
What did you do?!
Heck yeah!
Finally! Damn, it's nearly September! We had enough cherry tomatoes for a salad on Friday, but now we have enough tomatoes for BLTs & that's the real goal post.
I have a hard enough time answering the questions my two now adult kids have about everything that's going on, I can't imagine a room full of teens hearing an array of stuff at home, some being scared of deportation, some being at risk of losing their health care... god.
I had a really great Civics teacher in high school & I often wonder how she would be teaching kids about the "three separate but equal" branches of American government today. I wonder how any of them are doing it.
Today they sent me another $10 for it being a repeat donation & then another $10 for being O-. $35 for 45 minutes of my time AND Cheez-Its? Am I trying to talk you into donating blood? Yes lol
Some of them, sometimes, especially the big males. They don't like a flight & primarily go after the easier foods, like the eggs, but sleeping hens are also at risk. I have a soft spot for them & we don't kill them like some people do around their coops. I hope they behave themselves 😭
Oh I miss 5 minutes ago, when I had forgotten that idiocy.
If you station a humidifier somewhere near her, she will be in HEAVEN! In the winter, I try to group up my sad, needy plants, because I am ... very not good ... at remembering all of their needs (or that they even exist at all if they're a little out of sight)
Possum got into the hen house last night, spooked all the hens out into the yard in the dark. One of them got under the house (the people house). We hoped she'd come out when the sun came up, but she did not 😩 At 5pm, my poor husband had to crawl under there to get her out. Stressful animals!
She's beautiful! They love humidity, which you can give her with a pebble tray or misting if needed. I'm bad at estimating the size of plants until I get them in the house. Every year Xmas alternates between GIANT TREE TOO TALL & wee puny tree that looks sad because I adjusted too far the other way
My hope is that the persistent barrage of lies & ignorance starts to ping something in his base's minds. Many people in American have & love their solar. They understand batteries. At this point I'd be relieved to see some "the emperor has no socks" level of realizations even.
the tiny happy meal box is cute enough to make up for the fact I got the Happy Meal toy display stand on repeat!
They had miniatures in their happy meals last month. I got the same stupid toy 3 times 😭
The first post had me actively sneering, this one had me sputtering. What a strange thing to make & to order for a shop.
Our local park has some exercise equipment up for seniors & they're more energetic & agile than this
Yup! He doesn't have the cultural capital to weather the fall out of even the budget bill. He's evil, power hungry, & has no moral code, but he's got the charisma of a soiled couch. The rats will jump to get their books out 🤞
Impeccable taste, Jason.
Singly the most hopeful thing I've read in weeks. Our Blue govs and AGs are doing right by us in ways we don't even see. open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...
Eat 2 & then you won't be wrong.
Ah, your prop comedy era
I was having a little freak out about aging because my mom's about to turn 80 & going through what comes with that & I realized there will always be kittens. There will always be cats. There will always be cats with one brain cell doing silly things. It really gives me a lot of comfort.
That's what the experts say to do! Then you'll pick up any stragglers from further north who need it. Thanks for asking about them, I forgot I made food before bed so it could cool overnight. (We have over wintering hummingbirds where I'm at now, so I feed all year)
Adults thinking the magic must be impenetrable & exactly suited to THEM or else all is ashes are embarrassing My kid squealed & ran blindly past a whole line of people to run up & give Buzz Lightyear's leg a hug & it's a giant rubbery suit. That's who it's meant to be impenetrable for!
Oops! Thought I was replying in the part of the thread that would loop @hannahr.bsky.social in, since I know she's a King fan.
Feels like he gets roles where he's a an obnoxious jerk who yells constantly & then they realize they're vastly underutilizing him.
It's scary, but he plays a dad with an amazing character arc in NOS4A2 (series based on a book by Stephen King's son Joe Hill).
The hungry cannibal BBQ chef pigs got de-ranked for me as the most upsetting animal mascot when I saw a local septic tank place whose logo is an elephant using his trunk to clean out septic tanks!
I take back the nice thing I said about you earlier!
The one kitty we can't cut the back claws on got spooked while I was carrying her & launched off my hand. It wasn't even a malicious scratch & is causing me all sorts of problems. Those claws are no joke!
You have to load every effing bill manually to see it now. No thank you!
I haven't been to the website in awhile & certainly don't have the number of bills to track that you do, but there used to be a column that said how many miles each bill had traveled. We actually had one come back to our home area after leaving the state which was wild
Did the "move everything" kind of vacuuming in half the living room & vacuumed the couch & cat tree. I desperately need a nap but had double my normal coffee in order to have the energy to vacuum at all so now I can't sleep.
Also why is this consistently 5th grade knowledge??
My dad's 5th grade teacher taught him in probably 1952 that "when the mites go up, the tites (tights) go down" & so that's what I have to repeat in my head to remember which is which 🙃
