Party Idea 🎉
Everyone dresses up and I've written complicated drama plots/characters inspired by Real Housewives 💎 No one knows who they are and who they hate until they get together at the party. 🔍 And we have to figure out which character is going to jail for a rich person crime.

Not everyone dreams of kids, suburbs, and husbands. Some of us dream of a crumbling Victorian manor atop a cliff that we wander at night in our full-length dressing gown, candelabra flickering in hand, and trying to find the locked door that matches the mysterious key we inherited. Both are valid.

Censorship is so 1984. Read for your rights.

Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, and this year's theme reminds us that the right to read belongs to all of us, that censorship has no place in contemporary society, and that we must defend our rights.

I eat salads because I'm lazy, not because I'm healthy! I eat those vegetables so my dumb idiot body doesn't cave in on itself and then I can cram a bunch of gushers and Mountain Dew down my gullet.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

I've started doing bulk editing to try and get a good buffer amount of videos for potentially posting more frequently on YouTube but this has lead to me not understanding the notes I leave myself even more. Curse past me for just writing, “thing here” or “oh god hate this” or “words”🪦

Peak comedy is anytime Kermit would do that scrunch face. I don't need some high-brow jokes, I just need a frog puppet to make this face:

I need a gas station style tough guy shirt that says, “You have two wolves in you but I have two clowns. One is pie-ing itself in the face and the other is crying. We are different breeds.”

Pete Hegseth gives off the vibe that he has definitely worn a fedora very seriously. He also looks like his breath smells awful and he’d just just keep barking his hot bad breath at you while seemingly baffled you do not find him interesting.
