“The Eyes of Texas,” has always given me the creeps, and that’s as a person who was born and raised in the state.
I can’t imagine what it’s like for folks not from the state when the lights go down and everyone around them is yelling the below lyrics at the top of their lungs after a winning game.

Picked up a box of this high-fiber oatmeal on a whim at the store last week. 10/10 would recommend.
I top it with some raspberries and generally have an egg or two on the side, and it keeps me full until lunch.

Genuinely loved every minute of reading this book. The pacing was perfect, the twists were thrilling and the ending was everything I wanted as a reader.
“What is magic, if not something that makes you believe and feel and wonder?”

Last month, I had it out with @gofundme.com, which created a fundraising page for the nonprofit I founded. I thought it was resolved (first image), as the page was removed.
Today, I got an email stating that GoFundMe had not only recreated that deleted page, but also "verified" it (second image).
