Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead. Idk, just spitballing here.

it’s actually a huge relief that my gym doesn’t allow cell phones. with people literally posting everything on socials, i kinda feel like no gym should allow recording devices of any kind. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is Carl. He was just woken up from a nap. Hopes for your sake the house is on fire. 12/10 (IG: grumpus.steve.carl)

a very grumpy little brussels griffon with black and tan fur and big ears is laying in a fluffy dog bed and absolutely scowling at you. his mouth is a downturned arch that would be classified as a rainbow shape in any more positive context, and he’s squinting directly at you, challenging this unnecessary disruption. the green dog bed he’s laying on looks (probably coincidentally?) exactly like the fur of oscar the grouch.

“I’m not sure people really understand how expensive it is to have adhd,” she says as she loads her embroidery machine onto her giant vintage sailboat, along with her soldering kit, sticker printer, and portable solar panels. she is me.

Just thinking about the time I worked at 18F and received a call from the GSA Ethics Office because a vendor at a conference I keynoted gave all speakers a complimentary portable phone charger. It was deemed to be worth $35 in value & thus a violation of the Emoluments Clause, so I had to return it.

I strongly encourage you to stop what you’re doing and use the .5 setting on your phone camera to take a pic of your pet.
