My sister-in-law co-sponsors 1-2 families in dire need every Christmas. This year one was a dad who had to sell his heater to buy food for Christmas. They brought fun gifts for his 3 girls but the girls screamed in joy over the coats & toothbrushes. How many kids get excited over toothbrushes?? She got on Facebook (I know but listen): in 2 hrs she raised $1500 just from friends/family after sharing their story. #Christmas #SocialMedia

Three people are covering their electric bill through the winter, and someone else bought them a new heater. Another person is helping the dad find a better job. THAT should be the power of social media…not ads & making money for ppl like Tesla Boy. Who’s HE sponsoring for Christmas?

Anyway. Thinking about kids who don’t get to wake up to something like this tomorrow morning. How can we change that? I’m going to ruminate. #MerryChristmas

*Afterlife*
Having returned home
From the emergency room
She looks astonished

I’ll never forget
Looking down
And seeing my own face
She said, astounded
Sitting in her own living room

Her son and sisters deal loudly
With practical matters
In a commotion all around her

They and their concerns
Are a million miles away
And also now from me
Sitting across the room
As her sole witness

She looks up in rapture
As if preparing to greet herself once more

@tmstrickl_tim Possibly. These are only the ones they've current referred. It's likely there will be more.

I respect her courage. She voted against voting rights act and celebrated the reversal of Roe v Wade. I will never vote for her.

But you are seeing her daddy’s brilliance as she launches her campaign. Unofficially, I think it began over a year ago.

If Cheney runs anti-MAGA against DeSantis pro-MAGA we’ll find out how republicans will vote.

Idiot comments on the bird place, during this election season. I’ve run several campaigns. I know positioning when I see it. Remember she has brilliant/corrupt daddy with more money than god. He wants his girl to be first female president. Everything she has said/done in the last year is to that end. Including losing WY.

It’s gonna be a blood🩸bath.

Good Morning and Happy Holidays 😊 😃 😺 😄 Hanukkah 🕎 starts today 💞 #HappyHolidays #coso #goodmorning #photo #cosophoto #Christmas

You can do everything “right” and be assaulted. There’s NO behavior, NO clothes, NO location and NO level of inebriation that causes rape. RAPISTS CAUSE RAPE. Full stop. This victim blaming crap only makes excuses for rapists. Just no.

I hope that orange ass will be in cuffs before I become a grandmother. I have young kids....

The Japanese have been producing wood for 700 years without cutting down trees. In the 14th century, the extraordinary daisugi technique was born in Japan. Indeed, the daisugi provide that these trees will be planted for future generations and not be cut down but pruned as if they were giant bonsai trees; by applying this technique to cedars, the wood that can be obtained is uniform, straight and without knots, practically perfect for construction. #interestingness
