Seriously why are people mocking the appearance and name of a woman who is a federal employee. I understand mocking the MAGA/MAL look, but this is not that. Not cool.

My mom told her physical therapist she wears a mask because her husband and daughter are immunocompromised. The PT said she is too but isn't worried bc she knows if she dies she is going to heaven. Then her co-worker yelled, “Shut up Debbie you wear a seatbelt and take blood pressure meds” 👀

We ordered Chinese food, for dinner. My brother had to run out, and insisted we save him a fortune cookie.
I carefully pulled the fortune out and replaced it with one I typed on our antique typewriter.
The look on my brother's face when he read the fortune, "You're shit out of luck" was priceless.
