I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

From a survivor of the 80s/90s gay panics: Every second you continue to exist is a finger in their eye and a knife in their back. Your laughter and joy drain them of peace; these parasites thrive on our despair and nihilism. It's their bread and butter, their manna, their communion swill. Carry on.

Love it when people I've already told an answer to ask someone else - by which I mean my male counterpart. Who I outrank. And they respond with "oh, I though X might have more information" when I literally have the word "senior" in our otherwise shared title. 💀

if you were wondering how he only served 13 months in prison after raping multiple minors, it's because he served zero jail time for raping multiple minors. the only jail time he served was for financial crimes covering up sexually abusing children. he kept his congressional pension up to now

We used to have all sorts of signs up here for the man. 1/3 of the cars had bumper stickers in praise of him; “The speaker is my coach”. Within 2 weeks of the big press coverage, you could not find ANY references to him in the public view. Some people make the world a better place by leaving it

Caffeine doesn't replace lost hours of sleep, it only masks the fatigue signals to your brain so you don't realize how tired you actually are. You still suffer the cognitive and physiological deficits from the sleep deficiency, you just can't tell. Which is good actually and fine I've decided

I'm categorized as an AI subscriber, because I'm subscribed to the 3 TB tier of Google Drive and and they literally just changed the name of the plan to "Google AI Plus." Those "AI subscriber" numbers are 100 percent juiced and phony, and you're a sucker if you believe otherwise.

So if finding a cat's whisker is a sign of good luck, is finding a claw tip a sign of imminent death (by cat)? Because I opened my laptop this morning and there was a claw tip just sitting there next to the track pad. 🧐

My wish is for your pup's appointment to go as smoothly! Jessy's still feeling the after effects (her ears usually point the same direction), but so much better than her getting so riled up she's a danger to others.

A very drugged gold-yellow dog who was awakened during her post exam nap, laying on a couch covered in faux fur blankets. Her ears, bless her, are pointing two different directions.

So, SO drunk. So much so that she came away with the very first good girl bandana she's ever earned at a vet appointment. Usually they bring her back to me, them huffing & puffing & covered in her fur. Today they got 90%of her exam done with me in the room! 😂

Large golden yellow dog with white paws, laying on a blue pet sling for a car, wearing a jaunty plaid bandana. The doggo is VERY drunk & listing to the side.

Well, I'm officially an asshole dog parent. Took advantage of Jessy's relaxed state to clip her nails and ended up quicking both her back dewclaws. 😭 I was more upset than she was though, so that's something I guess. Feel horrible though. My poor baby 😭

My darling doggo has a routine vet appt today, but because she's over protective of me she gets the 'chill out' protocol - basically all the sedating drugs known to man. Since she's usually asleep this time of day, so far all it appears to be doing is making her gassy and the room smell horrible. 😷

Slept poorly, came upstairs to far too many people taking, had a friend come over to grab stuff and then had to go to the big box store for groceries. Came home to unload it all & repackage stuff and everyone was underfoot in my kitchen and ahhhhh too many people and too much noise today 😭

Awake at midnight scaring down cheese & crackers because apparently popcorn & twizzlers was not an appropriate dinner. I'm also thinking about the projects Niblet has had to do already this year, and the fact that one of the options on both was to do a PowerPoint presentation. They're NINE. Wtf?

Went with friends to finally see Practical Magic 2, in the last day it is in theaters in reasonable distance. Good night out with the ladies all told. I did think I was hallucinating at one point, tho. But no - there really was a random Nathan Foad on the screen for half a second. 😆

She took it on fairly willingly & hasn't asked anything of me yet but I worry if her dad gets worse/dies that the assumption will be that I'll pick it all up again and I just don't want to or have the energy to. And me not doing it would come with friend group issues, since we're all in it together.

Someone remind me that just because a friend has a sick dad right now doesn't mean I need to jump in and do all the things for the event we work on. My nervous system decrees I can't really attend this year, and I don't really care enough about it, so I've dropped back from planning.
