Tell people you're ill, they flock to you w/ concern & offers of help. Mention it's a relapse of depression? Crickets, like you're contagious or something. We are conditioned to be "ok" no matter what, then shocked when someone isn't "I had no idea!" Yes. You did, you just didn't listen.

"At the very end of the interview, she drops the bombshell that Governor Ron DeSantis offered her a free place to stay in the Governor's Mansion guesthouse, rewarding her for her anti-LGBTQ+ crusade that lead to violent threats.

The Republican party is embracing this bigotry."

@TchrTam I mean it’s not a bad thing, it means he’s really good at his job. He disappears into the character so deeply you are fine with despising who they are supposed to be as a person. Kudos to him, but I hate him. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I still really hate Ed Norton! I realize it means he’s a solid actor who’s good at his craft, but I really fing hate him! In other news Glass Onion is a seriously good watch!

Fun texts for when you were going to buy books but thought better of it. Your father and my ears are the same color as my car. We will bookstore towards midweek when the temp is higher than I am old. πŸ₯ΆπŸ₯ΆπŸ₯Ά

A collection of humor, strange tales, and the occasional rabid Christmas elf.

And yes, you'll find something from me in there.

Remember all that crap we said we'd do when hell froze over? Yeah, well, here we are. Time to get to work. Well played, Mother Nature. Well played.

Spotted in Trump's tax returns: He reported getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest payments on loans he gave to his kids.

That raises eyebrows because it could be a way to get around the gift tax – likely a stiff 40%.

@Lucertola it’s not ideal but you can defrost toilets w/ a hair dryer. It takes a bit of patience and it’s best to use the warm setting rather than the hot setting. But it is doable. Lived in some sketchy places in my 20’s.

SCOTLAND:

"The Scottish Parliament has passed a landmark Gender Recognition Reform Bill by 86 votes to 39 after six years of tireless, impassioned work by Scottish campaigners.

This is a historic victory in the fight for equality that will transform the lives of trans people in Scotland - including introducing self-declaration and lowering the minimum age to 16."

It’s a ruff life. He’s snuggled in his blanket, snoring. Probably dreaming of more potato soup.

@scottyorange It makes it much easier to find friends and acquaintances from there w/ the same name. We didn't die, we just replatformed. Like, I'm not changing my name because I loved houses you know? I hear you though it's an adjustment.
