In fact I’m usually quite shocked when anything comes out of their caucus that can loosely be interpreted as the truth.
My industry has largely moved to uniforms. I say we get them all coveralls and be done with it. It’s a job, not a fashion show.
A suggested edit:
But has now divorced him in favor of a Democrat-aligned LGBTQ-supporting, drag show-hosting bar owner who was groping her in the theater she was kicked out of. She was also giving him a handy.
This brings me joy and I want to make sure her support network is fully aware of it.

Let’s say you break your leg. Your first reaction is usually “HOLY FUCK FUCK FUCK THAT HURTS” and your mind will do anything to try to escape it. But if you turn your attention towards it and focus on it directly, you can start to slightly diminish it by picking it apart. Is it a throbby or stabby pain? Is there an underlying itchy sensation? If you accept the pain and embrace it, it helps reduce it by seeing it for what it is and, more importantly, is not: You are not dying, even though your brain is reacting like you are.
The Buddhist mindset is kind of like that, but for all of your reality. The zen doesn’t come from running away, it comes from seeing and accepting everything as it is and understanding that the only thing you can control is your mind’s reaction to it.
Signed, Someone who’s broken a lot of bones and done a lot of meditation (still a shit Buddhist though)
That’s probably the most apt description I’ve heard yet.
I wonder how the “I just want to live my life” crowd squares that mindset with republican policies. Because so far the only people fucking with my life have been the republicans. No you cant smoke weed, yes you must have a baby, go fuck yourself for healthcare, but here’s some tax cuts! (Just kidding, those are only for the rich people). Also, I hope you like video because we are banning alllll the books.
Bring something to wrap your joints with (the bone kind not the weed kind). I stepped wrong one morning while throwing a ball for my dog and my ankle popped. Suddenly I was keenly aware of just how long the 6 miles back to the car was. Luckily it loosened up enough to walk on after and hour or two, but now I always bring medical elastic tape in addition to my emergency medical kit for when splinting isn’t the best solution.

Hey now, windows and balconies were doing the heavy lifting (dropping?) earlier this year. Must have been a shortage in poison due to the embargos.
We went to a county show, they asked veterans to stand, no one did. Our child even nudged us to be recognized. We met in the military and live in red country, very rural. We stayed sitting.
We don’t have the right to ask children to do this any more.
As someone who’s witnessed the US Military’s “use or lose” budget in action, I’d put $100 on a lot of it being jammed in a closet, sitting at the bottom of an ocean, or conveniently lost to fire in a desert somewhere.
It started off almost refreshing but the ads slowly (very slowly, over the span of weeks) moved to more… loosely defined messages. The imagery went from color to black and white. It came across as less of a questioning statement to more of a… I don’t even know. It induced that uncomfortable feeling you get when someone is fake-happy but aggressive about it.
My nickname has been “Crash” for most of my life because I’m a very accident-prone person. Over the years I’ve learned to slow down and move with purpose by taking a split second to think “what am I about to do here?” before taking action.
I notice when I’m in a rush I tend to stumble and drop things a lot so I try to avoid that by planning ahead when I have time. This usually means getting seasonings out while the pan is still heating up, getting my things around for work the night before, or just generally preparing for what I know is coming.
I’ve also learned to NOT stand up quickly near cabinets (I have scars from this lesson), push doors all the way open if I’m passing through (it’s always that one belt loop), and not leave things lying around in the middle of the floor (some dog toys are worse than legos). Just generally trying to be more aware of your surroundings.
