In 2019, I had a gastric sleeve. On the bottom you see my A1C from that year on insulin and two different pills. On the top you see my A1C today on nothing. Stop shaming people for taking the “easy way out” whether that’s through surgery or GLP1s! They save lives. #diabetes

A1C results. On the bottom 2019 results of 9.9 and on the top 2026 results of 5.

Do you like the corn I put on my wreath? 😂 Probably need less now but it’s a pretty bow. #corn #fall #wreath

This is why your gay friends are hurting today. Dolly saw us, welcomed us, and said, “You belong here.” When AIDS devastated our community, she supported HIV research. Decades later, she did the same for COVID. She didn’t just preach kindness, she practiced it. #dolly #gay

I love this little temu reading light! Clips onto the book and it’s not bright enough to keep me awake. So if I wake up at 3am I can read a little and fall back asleep. #booksky #reading

I have your print Dancing Thru Grief. It’s a beautiful piece and what I love the most is that I personally think it’s a heartbreaking piece but about half of my friends who see it comment about what joy it captures.

I’m not saying I’m bad luck but this is the second time he’s canceled a show the next show after I’ve seen him. The last time he canceled in Vegas because he had COVID. Or maybe he just knows it won’t be the same without me in the audience. #BarryManilow

When you realize at 11pm “oh shit I forgot the ticket!” And then you have to make a 5 hour round trip to get the ticket, you deserve a beer. Or 10. #beer
