I'm not saying I have ADHD.
I'm saying that pre-COVID took away everything being open 24 hours, I could be more productive in a burst of energy at 2:45 AM than some of y'all mutherfuckers could with your whole 8 hours of daylight sculpted to your every waking need.
It was clearly the world's loss.

I hate any kind of selfie. And I apologize for the gruffness. I haven't had coffee yet either. But I wanted to share the peculiar thing my cat does that no other cat I've had before her has done: she feels the need to groom me.

They are (and have always been) free to stop the conflict they created and retreat back across Ukraine's pre-2014 borders anytime.

Turn the screws to Putin.
