I don’t know how some of y’all have thousands of followers and say something clever multiple times a day. I’m over here struggling to be smart once a day.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend so far, and you’re mentally prepared to lose an hour of sleep. #goodvibes #sleep

120 hours of work in nine days. I’m too tired to think of anything clever, so here’s a picture of Pippin when he was a puppy. #puppies #dogs #pets

You know that $3 opt-in on your tax return for the Presidential Election Campaign Fund? Jill Stein is the only candidate getting any money from that in 2024. In theory, she's only allowed to use it for the "primary," which is why the Green convention is pushed as late in the year as they can.

After watching the State of the Union, hearing the dark and somber warnings between the list of recent accomplishments, and seeing the response from the Republicans, I believe this message from the Neutrals has never been more relevant or more dangerously true. Laugh first; cry later. #politics

Fuck them kids. - Republicans 2024

This is what happens when anti-science GOP donut fucks get elected by a state filled with republicans that have the collective IQ of three carrots. In other news, semi-sentient globule made of two parts human shit; one part seaweed, Marsha Blackburn, is topping the polls. Fuck yeah TN. #politics

Let me see a show of hands from anyone surprised that this SCOTUS, of whom one Justice’s wife played a part in the insurrection, announced today’s opinion? You know, the same SCOTUS with three stolen seats? With some of the same Bush v. Gore justices? No? No one? Huh. #politics #scotus

American soft power still getting it done

Reposting this with a different source. Here’s the SCOTUS opinion: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p... Admittedly, if anyone saw my last post, it was hasty. That said, Trump has received the off-ramp he wanted and SCOTUS denied states the right to invoke the 14th amendment. Vote. #politics

Supreme Court rules states can't kick Trump off the ballotwww.nbcnews.com The decision swiftly ended the legal fight over whether states could bar Trump from their ballots based on the Constitution's 14th Amendment.

I’ve gotten a lot of followers lately for some reason. Y’all ‘bout to be more disappointed in me than my dad was when my sister was with him watching football and I was watching the Powerpuff Girls in the other room.

Are you fucking kidding me? As a bonus, there’s a link at the bottom of this article that talks about Kentucky’s attempts to relax child labor laws. Again, are you fucking kidding me? I *personally* know people that want this to happen in TN. As always, the cruelty is the point. #politics

I have a daughter named Abby, and she specializes in what I’ve started calling Abbyisms (better name pending). Wife: “I did something today that I never thought I would do. I got a Dick’s Sporting Goods membership.” Abby: “MOMMY LIKES DICK’S!” #kids

What a beautiful day to be stuck inside staring at spreadsheets for 10-12 hours. #accounting

Due to a lack of interesting things to say today, I leave you all with words of wisdom from my daughter when she was 6 years old. I hope it gives you all something to think about tonight. Daughter: “Ding dong! Texas is a real place! Look it up!”

Does anyone else use Bluesky/social media to get over extreme awkwardness? I can follow a conversation, but it’s extremely difficult to lead one. It’s just so much easier talking to strangers here because literally no one I know in person is using Bluesky yet. I’m hoping to work on the awkwardness.

“We humans do not understand compassion. In each moment of our lives, we betray it. We know of its worth, yet in knowing we attach it to a value, we guard the giving of it, believing it must be earned. Compassion is priceless in the truest sense of the word. It must be given freely. In abundance.”

Ever get sad that someone you know doesn’t follow you back online and then realize “oh it’s probably because I’m really fucking annoying on here”?

On a different note, people are still liking my very first post and following me because of it, and it’s giving me a complex. To those of you who throw me a bone every other time, I love you.

So…have we all just accepted that all this shit is just “normal” now? You all know what I’m talking about. We complain about it, sure, but things are still getting more expensive, crazier people are getting elected, and we’re all collectively shrugging. Shit’s fucked, yo.
