@Animeraider he’ll let it be annexed.
@rpardee neither of us drink, so yeah… looking like we will be eating our feelings via expertly decorated baked goods.
@rpardee this has led to the purchase of an absurd quantity of piping tips. Cake piping tips. Cupcake piping tips. Cookie piping tips. And the odd selection of cookie stamps.
@rpardee yeah, I have had to shut off all news notifications from my phone/ipad. Hubs and I have been watching cooking shows at night to avoid seeing any news.
@EnochianEntropy not that I am aware of, unfortunately, but she loves them all. Today we enjoyed the Muppets Letters to Santa and few episodes of Muppet Babies.
@HopeSeeker that’s her to a T. Anxiety is a big antagonist for her poor tummy. I am really hoping she outgrows it.
@EileenKCarpenter @th3j35t3r please gods let someone be sharing that with his employer as we speak. 🖕
Kiddo puked on the bus this morning (she has bouts of carsickness,) but of course as soon as she got to school we had to go get her. And naturally she had no fever nor did she get sick again at all for the rest of the day. So she got a long weekend. And I had a reason to not watch a lick of shitty news and instead watch the Muppets and The Naughty Nine (Ocean’s Eleven but with tweens and Santa) on Disney+. Not a bad day overall.
@postal_poet Yeah, but stay here too. Jester won't knuckle under and give our msgs to uncle Sam. He's definitely not Elon. He has integrity.
@Coffee_and_Salt long enough that the pompom or fringe doubles as a dust mop.
My new term for the Gram!
So I read an article the other day, the one @nursefrombirth posted from TeenVogue about online misogyny going off the fucking rails.
The article kept using the word “manosphere” to refer to those who subscribe to toxic masculinity and hyper machismo. The more I read that word the more it became clear that “manosphere” is a self-own.
“Mano” as in hand. As in the only thing they will have left since they hate women so much.
@JulesofJoy fuck ‘em. You’re better off without that. We all are.
If only every woman were as wise and just left instagram to become incel-gram
@Kurtroedeger this checks out.
Jesus would wear a mask to save lives even when it was no longer mandated.
Jesus would fight for children to get no questions asked free lunches and probably breakfasts too.
Jesus would be marching in Pride parades and he would agree that Black Lives Matter.
Jesus would wish his neighbors “Happy Holidays” because he appreciates their diversity.
Jesus would clothe, feed, and shelter the homeless, not make them illegal.
Jesus would fight/preach against corporate greed.
I left Catholicism circa 2017 but here’s what I know and believe, despite now choosing to loosely subscribe to the religion of my husband:
Jesus would drive someone across state borders for life-saving care, even if it meant criminal prosecution.
Jesus would be manning the refreshments table at drag queen story time at a public library.
Jesus would be leaving water and food caches for migrants along the border.
Jesus would be the founder and OG promoter of Woke.
Hospital put out new cold/flu season signage and an article on the intranet and public website.
Though the signs feature a big face with a mask on it the fine print says mask up “if you’re not feeling well.” 🙄 Then, buried many paragraphs deep in the article (several sentences after people have stopped reading) on how to protect yourself this season the phrase, “Ideally we should all be wearing masks for prevention…”
Imagine if we had all just been fine with doing what was best from the jump.
