I accidentally found a good pick up line in the south. There is a truck sized need in my life right now and I am straight up using this as my opener. The back pain is worth it sometimes. 😅 Also, if you have a truck and 2 hours on a Monday around Fayetteville 👀😅

I saw one of the pilots in the back of a civilian SUV missing a hand. This is so much worse than the media will let through.

Trump: "The genetics in that family are very strong. You have good genes. They were asking me, 'What does that mean?' I said, 'Don't worry about it. You'll figure it out.' But you have the best genes you can have."

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Remember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

Why is Iran fucking up Dubai so hard right now? Is Dubai just the easiest target or they're fucking up the money they can reach first?

My mom died 3 years ago today. My whole life has gone sideways since then. Tried to stay busy, kept my hands involved & the house is super clean. Made spaghetti sauce from scratch, got so ahead on chores. I really hope whatever happens after this she is at ease.

Had a young customer pass. Found out when his gf that I also tattooed wrote to ask for clear pictures of the tattoo I did. Life is short and terrible. Hug the people you love whenever you can and check in on all your friends.

So there's been a theory the woman who just pled the 5th was not actually Maxwell. Second picture is her last inmate photo prior to the cushy transfer. Now there's video from Quebec where a man calls out Ghislaine & this woman's head snaps up. Maxwell holds dual citizenship w Britain & France.

He's gonna bomb Iran AND do aliens. And he keeps talking about not liking men & men wanting to "violently kiss" him. Three times in two days. There's a bottom tape. 💯 At this point I'd believe he shoved entire live infants up his own ass and did a little dance about it.

No, his best friend spent four years raping me until my mother finally left when I was 9 & growing up with scary men & black eyed women kinda put me off motorcycle culture. I tattoo & won't work at affiliated shops.

I fucking hate paywalls because there is zero chance I am subscribing to a San Antonio newspaper. If they asked me for a quarter to read it, I would happily send that. But now I'll just hear about it on some youtube recap or miss it entirely.

Millennial women were bullied into ever shrinking sizes to fit Abercrombie's sex trafficking CEO while buying push up bras from Victoria Secret's sex trafficking CEO to fit the Ford Model sex trafficking ideals. Then we had daughters dressed in Justice sex trafficking clothes. 😭

Nazi tattoo shop opened in Ohio and got the traditional welcome party. Back in the day, a hole would be drilled in the roof, gas dumped inside, and incineration. This fuck got off light. ALWAYS ALWAYS FIGHT BACK.

My favorite part of Friday the 13th flash tattoo events are the days after when shops tell on themselves. 🤢 Do better Raleigh. If you cannot afford proper PPE for every tattoo, don't do an event. 🤷

Burlesque show tonight at 9pm. So obviously my brain cannot let me do anything else. 😅 Fuck. I'm legit sitting here thinking about getting dressed for that before I go run errands so I don't have to get dressed twice. Coats NC is not nearly cool enough to run errands in a Full Outfit. 😅

If you watch that campaign season, you can literally watch McCain sell his soul & buy into the new shitty politics when he took Palin as VP. Idk why we are making him an exception when he quite literally ushered in the awful new age of idiocy & hate.

My father was Hells Angels. Most white biker gangs are horrifically racist. If there was a way to source anything from white over any other color, they would.

When I was taught about negotiations, my understanding was that you ask for more than you need so you have room to give the other side wins. Dems are already backing down from bare minimum demands & less than 2 hours later backing off even this weak shit.

I read a whole library once. Did not enjoy his shelf. There was a book called Firefly I think that had graphic sex scenes with a child. Tapped out at that scene & skipped the rest of his shelf. Robert Aspirin & Pratchett were better anyway.

Remember when Occupy realized every permit is weaponized when the state hates you and refused to list leadership anywhere and shouted down ownership by anyone? It's a form of protection, y'all. Being the face means you take the blame. Also means if he turns out not great, that's the legacy too.
