They're already breaking the law, what good would more laws do??
Devil pigeon says reform, angel pigeon says abolish.

Cmon man. It's McDonald's. Leave it alone.
Sign on the side of the building in the Mickey d's drive thru that says "got gains? Add protein" informing you of the option to add an additional egg or beef patty for just $1.50. It's not even THAT much more protein.

I have almost no autobiographical memories of childhood, and you'd think I would have been too young to form permanent memories here, but I remember being pecked while feeding these menaces, and I've never forgiven them
A two or three year old in an 80s-style stroller, being menaced by a flock (three) of...geese? I think?

I was born tired and I'll die tired
Four vintage photos of me asleep in various places at various ages: held by my mom, flipped over the arm of a couch, in a chair, at the beach in the shade of the lid of a Styrofoam cooler.

How can you be "a welcoming place for all" if some of your guests will arrest your other guests solely on their skin color??
“Everpeak Hospitality has moved swiftly to address this matter as it was inconsistent with our policy of being a welcoming place for all,” the company said in a statement. “We are in touch with the impacted guests to ensure they are accommodated. We do not discriminate against any individuals or agencies and apologize to those impacted.”

Straight to jail
SOMEbody in this house put the whipped cream cheese back in the fridge with approximately half a teaspoon of cream cheese clinging to the container. In the background, a perfectly broiled bagel, which was to be the vessel for the white gold.

I put a $3 bingo scratcher cars in my husband's stocking, and they have been working on it for like 10 minutes. Haven't even distributed the presents yet!
An adult and two children, in matching Mickey and friends pajamas, bent over the card on the floor.

Guess what happened at the grocery store today
Mismatched stockings. Right to left, the red and white P is new and pristine, the red and green with bells H is sixish years old, the (partially cut off) santa is 16 years old and a little tired. The snow is, uh, not exactly new-fallen. Oh, also, the stocking hangers don't match either--two snowflakes, a reindeer, and a star.

I didn't grab a sharpie before sitting on the floor to wrap presents, so instead I cut everyone's initial out of scraps of paper. Follow me for more lazy life tips
A gift, wrapped in purple paper with little presents on it, with an H cut from red, pink, and green striped paper. Literally the reverse of the purple paper is another, color coordinated print, and yet I picked a completely different, clashing print.

Actually, People magazine, I don't think I do need to know that
Screenshot from the People website of a call out box titled "Need to Know" with the first bullet point "Donald Trump spoke about wife Melania Trump's underwear during a lengthy tangent at a North Carolina rally".

A display in the grocery store of Cadbury creme eggs and Reeses eggs, the week before Christmas.

Anyway, this is what I looked like at 28. (today is our anniversary)
A photo of me and my husband, 16 years ago. I just want to take this opportunity to complain about the tulips in my bouquet. A certain in law wanted to take care of it for me; I requested "just red roses," in those exact words. Multiple times. Eventually when I dried the bouquet, the tulips stuck out oddly, so I had to pull them out. Why I didn't just do it at the time...I don't know. Trying not to offend, I guess. But if it happened today, I would yank em out without blinking. Anyway, I was once 28 and youthful and did not get lip filler, and this was before we all got into skincare.

*whispers* I want that
A canvas print of a photo of THE motel sign. On the left of the vertical "MOTEL" are three images of a woman, doing a dive. It is the quintessential local "iykyk" image.

See?
License photo of me (you can see the partial Arizona outline in the upper right) in front of a plain blue background. Both eyes fully open, yet without the mild look of surprise I usually have when trying not to squint. Instead of RBF, my mouth is pleasantly neutral, not fully smiling. My jaw is the closest it's ever been to sharp. Skin? Flawless and porcelain fair. (eyebrows same shape as always, but filled in darker to match my dyed darker hair.) I look like the most beautiful, lifelike robot that has ever been imagined.

I got out my Giant Envelope of Photos (step one in my project to throw em in an album and call it a day) and my eyebrows have always looked exactly the same, right down to one being pointier than the other
It's me, from third grade, I think (~1989) with wavy hair from sleeping in braids probably because my hair was stick straight until my 20s, with a jaunty purple bow that matches my killer 80s knockoff Garanimals style tee. My eyebrows, again, look exactly like they do now, despite me being a teen in the late 1990s.

Speaking of fun Threads drama...🍿
Screenshot of a post by damon136913, wherein he asks, "Anyone else have millennial children playing this fake ass no contact game and keeping you from your grandkids ?" The post has received 66 likes, 25 reposts, 71 sends...and 1.5k replies. The replies are, uh, what you'd expect on a platform primarily used by millennials.

FYI, Netflix has a kpop demon hunters "yule log" that plays the instrumental soundtrack in the background 😍
A picture of my TV, with the mostly blue scene lit by the purple gwi-ma yule log.
