My pinned post: A story I got to tell at a Mark Twain Storytelling event at the Twain House & Museum: youtu.be/PameYRkyh9U?...
Having had run-ins with the law as a rebellious teen, I think I'm familiar with the "Nolle;" this means that IF YOU DON'T GET CHARGED AGAIN ON ANY OTHER thing in the next 6 months, it goes away, but if you do, they're still holding it open to re-prosecute, no?

The character of Little Bunny Foo-Foo, when examined, is really dark & disturbing. Imagine the logistical reality of just RUNNING through a forest, randomly scooping up field mice only to bop them on the head and toss them aside. Insane behavior. Bunnies are herbivores; this is just wanton cruelty.

They're all fascinating episodes, but this was a REALLY fascinating episode, jam-packed with lore.

Maybe a lovely book is more your speed? Something for the fantasy lover in your family or friend group. I have books about enchanted forests, witches and cheeky little monsters!
This was my first Kickstarter project - 'Strangehollow', a vast enchanted forest!

imagine paying top dollar for a professional manicure and the sassy old bag sarcastically tells you you've been soaking in cheap Palmolive dish-soap this whole time?

same. And the gleeful participation in it by "salt of the earth" family: Arendt nailed it.
No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

I miss my dad in general, like, as a kind of white-noise in the background of life, but Thanksgiving is the one where the sound of the missing rises up so I can *hear it*; the lead up to it, the day of-- it's where I'm *actively aware* of his absence, if that makes sense?

There's no mystery-- broken people are also turned on by serial killers or mass shooters. Boundary-overstepping without remorse signals "excitement/sex" to some seemingly normal presenting folks who have damaged relationship lives.
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

Oh, how I hate this tradition (no matter who does it). You can find all kinds of quite serious arguments about how it makes light of things that aren’t light, but I can never get over the basic premise that you eat a Thanksgiving turkey because it did something wrong.

The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways

Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
