It's almost "Prime Day". If you look on your favorite shelter's website or instagram you might find that they have an amazon wishlist and that many of their items might be on sale. I hate amazon, I definitely encourage people to shop local whenever possible, but I'm just putting the info out there.

We've reached peak women-on-tiktok with the Harrison Butker situation. They're remixing his speech into songs about having a small dick. They're playing it over compilations of him eating shit on the field. They're doing dissertations on how a kicker ends up with CTE
