You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

Literally just finished the finale!

Cheesecake was eaten. In my pajamas.
It would be wrong of me to have cheesecake for breakfast. Right?

No, this guy is the secretary of war. The Secretary of Defense would be smarter.

Good Morning, my loves. Happy Tuesday. Funny thing....I'm using my tablet to watch tv and my xfinity streaming app and I thought it would show me local tv stations from WA and it does not! It's showing me local stations to where I am. I didn't expect that. Technology is awesome.

Have a good Tuesday

Depression and anxiety tell you lies and make you believe them. But this is the truth.

If i come home and don't have tacos, I wasn't really here. They have other food, some of it is really good, but I MUST HAVE TACOS. www.adolphsmexicanfoods.com/about-us

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Yup!
Wisdom is knowing that being warm is better than looking cool in November.

Good luck with that, whippersnappers.

The librarian in me is cataloging my dad’s records. Record number 1 was actually mine. LOL.
record number 2…. Arranged and conducted by Lalo Schifrin! (Who wrote the Mission Impossible theme we know and love)

Finding new things to buy is my favorite thing about social media!
And there are companies like Portland Syrups that make fancy syrups for c/mocktails. (I'm a huge fan of the peach, marionberry, & Meyer lemon myself.) Plus, their free shipping threshold is only $25. Here's a referral link that will get you (and me) $5 off.

Because of ads like this (& TV shows & movies & my parents!), I thought there'd be more fun & dancing in adulthood. 🫤

I thought this too! PBR and disco were not two things i imagined together
Oh ya. PBR really hit their target demographic on this one. 😂
Uh…. Was this his Dirty Dancing interview reel? I’m calling it an official prequel

#Romancelandia, can we get this GFM moving again for Julia?

(remember: you can tip $0, GFM charges fees regardless! So even a little bit can make a difference if enough people drop those $10 or $5)

Thank you!
I have set up a gofundme to cover my medical bills, prescriptions and current expenses. The first goal is $900. I would appreciate sharing it around on social media. I will try to update as i get insurance sorted out.

Sweet home…Waiting for a prop plane to MLI. Please don’t change my gate…

i had to stop in the bookstore. I stopped myself from buying the very cool covered Crime and Punishment. LMAO! They still had their spooky books display up and @raforall.bsky.social’s book would have been perfect at the center
