"Ability to hold opposing ideas simultaneously in mind" 💀

JE NE SAIS QUOI MALE seeking middle-aged female em-
brace passions of poetry & twilight moments capture the
soul to forever love you.bluejeans4u2@outlook.com.

MANHATTAN WOMAN, 80, seeks local man, any age, for
friendship or romance. Ability to hold opposing ideas simul-
taneously in mind, conversational ability and a sense of the
absurd would work wonderfully and are offered in return.

Presumably not during a government shutdown

I assume that because of the shutdown it wouldn't be prudent to go camping in Shenandoah this weekend?

I made this reservation at Big Meadows like 6 months ago ugh

I don't know anything about parliamentary procedure but I do know that it turns me on when Sandy yells at people for being out of order

Becky Hammer @beckyhammer.bsky.social · 1d

I had no idea people had such strong feelings about resolutions!!

One of the spiciest ADC meetings I've attended in a while

Plot twist: it has nothing to do with Jay Jones but rather the proposal to replace the ADC resolutions committee with a policy committee

Local party drama!
