They only tolerated this proximity because I was sick, overslept, and they were waiting hungrily by my bed.

The bird wants help. I wish it were a c-level but it's only senior manager, so my confidence is low. Nonetheless a savvy person could do some good for the world and the wrong person in the role could make everything worse. Thoughts, @th3j35t3r? https://careers.twitter.com/en/work-for-twitter/202007/senior-manager-information-operations-investigations0.html

Really? Give me a fucking break. If that is not the most diabolically un-constitutional way to weasel out of upholding 1st amendment rights.

Kentucky is apparently going to try to argue that the 1st amendment right to petition the government for a redress of grievances does not apply if the government being petitioned for redress is the same government accused of creating the need for redress. WTAF.

Gaaaah! I want to complain but I also don't want to and I kind of don't want to hear myself anymore. I can't describe it well. This year has just sucked so bad--but then what am I saying? My people in question have survived so far--even if damaged and by the skin of their teeth--and so many others have literally died. But the amount of pressure just feels crushing many days. I know it's not just me.

Here's a silly picture from better days gone by.

😂 This product. Come on! This should only be sold as a set that also includes 1 Dashboard Splatter Guard, 1 Wet/Dry Car-vac, 2 Full Body Vinyl Bibs, 1 XXL Pack WetWipes, & a bonus coupon for a replacement meal at MickyD's 'cause that meal's gonna go flyin' in 3-2-1... The only other use for this tray that I can reasonably imagine is for spouses who hide their burger habit and must secretively eat in their car, in which case the set must include only a sly carrying case and an air freshener.

I do not like hot weather or being very warm. Nor do I like freezing. My husband dislikes being too warm even more than I do. He leaves the slider open in cold weather to cool our naturally very warm home. So I wear a sweater while he wears a tee shirt. Even a woman like me thinks he has gone too far with this tonight.

It's midnight at the grocery store when there will probably be some snow. Yow...

I have zero room left for a traditional Christmas tree in our small, urban home. This is my attempt (but I'm not done decorating it yet). Hoping my family finds it sufficiently festive. It's a cyprus that fit my criteria: alive, small enough to sit on a table, not scraggly. Anyone got other *good* tree suggestions for tight quarters?

Okay, so is it that his hands are tiny or that his fingers are bizarrely short? Here's a still shot off TV and for comparison, my own hand. In proportion to his palm, aren't his finger really odd looking?

#NewEnglandPatriots cheerleaders on the field at the end of the 3rd quarter against Miami 28-10. Pretty sure these awesome women have the highest number of attorneys, MBAs, and PhDs of any pro cheer squad (including one of my awesome colleagues). 🏈🔬🙌🏽💛

I like Tyrod. McDermott fucked up last week and deserves all the excoriation. I'm enjoying the scathing reviews of his coaching. 🏈💣
