I'm so lucky my husband loves me as much as he does, and is also a little gross, because I've had a runny nose since 2017, and today alone, I've found two used tissues from yesterday, and lost four. In our bed. In our shared bed.
I know, I'm disgusting, and yet, his love persists.

Medicine balls have to be passed back and forth, between two players, consecutively from one side of the court to the other, and are not thrown thru the hoops, but instead carried around the back clockwise, and passed back and forth again to the division line. If completed, the team gets 100 points.

A medicine ball. Football can only be carried or stolen, and must be thrown offsides from the free throw circle. 5 points. Basketball balls have the same rules. And a special hurdle can be added or removed any time during the game, for extra high dunks.

Basketball, but it's on horseback. Like polo, but no sticks. Same players too. In fact riders have to be NBA or WNBA. Also, the horses are gigantic. Budweiser Clydesdales. No training or breeding specifically for the game either. And instead of one basketball, there's a football, a basketball, and

Please turn off your #Ring cameras so that kids/families just trying to participate in #Halloween don't get caught up by ICE. Ring has partnered with them, so we know how this is going to turn out.

Also, please consider removing Ring entirely or AT LEAST turn on the e2e encryption.

I think Anthony Michael Hall was the original victim of puberty hitting like a ton of bricks. He went from nerd to Army sergeant in like a year. Boy to MAN.

If you are wondering why you haven’t heard much from the Proud Boys lately, it’s because they’re called ICE now.

Annual reminder that I made my youngest watch The Princess Bride three years ago, and they asked "Is it funny?" And I got to respond, "Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles..." And THEN they asked: "Is there kissing?"

There are no "good" politicians or presidents, but there were however TWO presidents that were unproblematic, or argumentatively the least problematic in comparison to the rest, and Biden isn't one of them. That dude suuuuuuuucked.

The last good president. He also didn’t demolish the White House nor democracy.

Every once in a while it pops in my head that 6 months ago, my 70 year old mother was complaining about leaving her reusable bags in the car, and I said, "You don't just bag them at the car?" She never once, in 30 years of reusing bags, thought about just taking the unbagged groceries to the car.

BBL is just short for "bubble" and not an acronym for "big beautiful luscious"? *Sigh* I gotta look this up now. It's going to be in my search history 😭

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

In the floor of the ballroom, but now this demolition...I mean, the man is a cartoon villain, so clearly he was destroying evidence of something, and the biggest thing I can think of is the Epstein files, right? Or maybe proof of voter fraud... He just always does this type of shit.
