In 2016, Ken Paxton had the audacity to sit at my table and break bread with my family knowing full well that my son is trans, then SIX YEARS LATER wrote an opinion stating that families like mine shouldn't exist. Within days, a CPS investigator was in our home threatening to remove our children.🧵

It does sound about right, but don't forget the part where whatever the result is, if it's bad (it will be) it's Biden's fault.

Met Joe Walsh (of the Eagles, not the political one). He's a ham radio operator and I was working at a place that tests ham radio equipment. Had a nice conversation about the work we were doing. Just a regular Joe.

So when I got home I finally made the fix. It took about 30 seconds. So... put off a 30-second job for 2 years. Am I the King of Procrastinators or what? 3/3

A couple of days ago I installed a dashcam. Each time the wipers chattered the cam would detect the shuddering vibration as an "event." 2/3

For the last 2 years each time I drove in the rain I'd think, "I have to fix these chattering wipers." But I'd get home and the car is wet so, "I'll do it later," which I promptly forgot. Every time. 1/3
