"should I put on a bra before my 8 a.m. Zoom meeting?" was something I thought out loud and then immediately wanted to share with the group chat, but I'm realizing the group chat doesn't need every ADHD thought that pops into my head. But you do.

Something weird is happening. There's an electric feeling that starts in my stomach, travels up to my chest, and out into my arms. My toes are tingling, like my feet want to MOVE. The corners of my mouth are turned up involuntarily. I feel awake, VERY AWAKE.

Lingering trauma from years of on-again, off-again medication due to the complexities of insurance: even though I'm currently medicated for ADHD and thriving, I keep expecting it to be ripped away at any minute.

A personal thank you to Joe Flacco for joining the Bengals and securing me my first Fantasy win of the season, and he's not even in my lineup. Keep passing that pall to Chase and Brown.

I'd like to apologize to Bengals fans everywhere. I think this is my fault for going with a Burrow/Chase stack. And for threatening to buy a Bengals jersey if Burrow helped me win my league this season.

The play for the Chiefs this season should just be to keep everyone off of Mahomes and let him run the ball himself.

Someone explain to me why Jacksonville would call timeouts to help Bengals clock stop. Did they forget how much a touchdown is worth?

love to hit 'em with the 2 Corinthians 11:14-15: "And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve".

Damn you'd think Charlie Kirk is Archduke Franz Ferdinand the way even moderately left leaning news is reporting on this. Where was this condemnation when an actual seated politician was assassinated earlier this year?

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

One way to encourage women to have children is by offering better maternity leave, better work from home policies, and better healthcare, but that's not a conversation it looks like corporate America is willing to have.
