This is the cat who lives in the basement (this window is at the top of the basement stairs) bc she needs to hog all the belly rubs. Our big fridge & freezer are in the basement so she lays here when she's in the mood for belly rubs, which is 80% of the day

Simultaneously excited and terrified we will sell everything the first day or nothing all weekend at the biggest event we have ever done. 😬

Do you find yourself at a loss in a dangerous world? Do you want to make it better? Then join the Atomic Priesthood. Warn away the next thousand generations of humanity from the green glowing barrels in the basement of that crumbling government building

“I ain’t dead yet!” The dearly beloved Dolly Parton creates a “proof of life” video, assuring those who adore her that, even though she is dealing with some things, she is fine and still going strong 💛

Long live Dolly Parton ✨📚

Kristi Noem in 2014. You have to ask yourself, why the Instagram influencer makeover? What are they trying to sell to you by turning her into Machine Gun Barbie?

Nostalgia bomb: what were your favorite Apple II games? I was just browsing the wiki and I feel cheated for only remembering Oregon Trail, Odell Lake, and Number Munchers. What else was good?

I had unusual lab work back in August and the NP response was to lecture me on my diet. My kid has had feeding issues since birth, I think I am on top of my fiber, lean protein, fruits and veg, THANKS. Retested today and normal labs just showed up. Very tempted to msg that nurse 🖕🏻

Just when you thought Steak n Shake couldn't go farther downhill. I wish they would use their big flag money to return to being a real restaurant

The perfect fast food place to represent America. A shell of its former self, half of the ones in your city shut down due to mismanagement, and no one knows anyone happy to go there

My theological status is best described as "lazy agnostic," which is to say I am fairly certain that there is no god, but I'm not going to go out of my way to find out one way or another. If you're religious, cool, please don't use your religion as an excuse to be an asshole to other folks, thanks.

Also, entrepreneurship is a key part of Girl Scouts, and believe it or not, these skills translate to nonprofit work. Consider focusing on Project Thank You, which is only donations to the USO and food bank. I know this military family appreciates snacks other than 5 Hour Energy in the lounge.

Troops at a USO receiving snacks from a Daisy Girl Scout. A text bubble reads "For every $6 donation received Project Thank You provides a gift of one nut/ candy item to be distributed by our non-profit community partners, USO of Missouri and Operation Food Search.

Time for my annual PSA! Parents of Girl Scouts: Activities cost money! Money comes either from product sales, or you contributing to the troop with 💰 or time. Treats & Reads is better than cookie sales bc there are non-food options. Please don't ignore it!

“Hello, im new in this group, what is the first step to start home schooling?”

Learn how to research.

If you can’t do basic research please don’t homeschool your kid.

Next up, GalaxyCon! We will be there all three days next weekend. I will have very limited travel agency hours this week, because I nearly sold out of Yip Yips the last two weekends and I'm going to be frantically restocking. Thankfully Francis doesn't mind helping with the fringe. 👾

Don't go into tomorrow worried about how you are going to cope with it. Go into it knowing that you will cope with it, come what may. Knowing that you are a warrior, that you are worthy, come what may.
