Someone tell a funny joke... because I need to unhear the mess that was on @NPR this morning... #climatechange denying senator broke my brain.
Thank you, @calm.com, for giving me the language to set healthy boundaries. I *can* say no…
I can't believe I'm coming *here* to troubleshoot this... anyone else having a hard time scheduling posts on Facebook?
