Such a wonderful day to spend at the Hopi cave dwellings in Canyon de Chelly (Tséyi')
Just saw a TikTok comment rudely asking why Bad Bunny was blushing over "his grammy" flirting with him, like Rita Moreno didn't once pull Elvis just to make Brando jealous because she's Rita fkn Moreno and she knew she could. You'd blush too.
once in awhile i’m reminded of the sad reality that there’s a lot of progress that still needs to be made in liberal circles. they often don’t oppose ICE or deportations, but just the trump regimes brute-ish way of doing them
They just called a Mara Greenhouse at the service station and I didn't realize "fantasy novel heroine" was one of the deep red rural naming conventions boomers opted for in the 80s. And my hippie ass SoCal surfer mom picked KATHLEEN?? This is bullshit, stereotypes never show up when you want them 😠
I just saw an ad for that new terrible Tron movie and the featured review just said BIGGEST SCREEN POSSIBLE lmao
joining the war on the dodgers. *sigh* on the side of canada
“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy
Just a quick life-changing road trip nbd (Pictures will remain sideways until morale improves or I figure out how to make this app listen to me)
I wish adding photos to posts on this app didn't make me want to scream :)
POV you try to take a bubble bath but it immediately starts to thunder outside
I like when first dates bring me flowers which leads me to wonder why I always have to scramble to, for instance, knife the top off a plastic water jug in order to keep them alive. This cannot be how other grownups live.
Just two predators ~15 mins after the hatchery guys showed up to restock the lake. (They did not try to catch a single fish. They just spent 3 hours of enrichment time watching them like an aquarium.)
The good news: Absolutely nailed my grandma's tomato pie recipe The bad news: I had to bake so many things that it caused a carbon monoxide detector to go off and the fire department had to come and I've been microdosing brain death since I moved here two years ago
I recently ordered a "personal back massager" 😉😉 if you know what I mean 😉😉😉 but I'm almost 40 and slept on my neck a lil weird last night so now we get to see how much bang I really got for my buck
Hiking at the ponderosa pine lakes >>
Met another self-described "cunning linguist" on bumble but this one might be salvageable
So close, that is a truck
As always, my favorite oft-abridged quote on patriotism: "My country, right or wrong. If right, to be kept right—if wrong, to be set right." -an immigrant to the US who volunteered to fight for the Union in our Civil War
Welp, time for leftists' annual tradition of reconciling "cookouts with my friends are fun" with "American nationalism is a plague" Meet back here in 4 months for "bringing families together over a big shared meal is nice" vs "American nationalism has always been a plague" 🦃
Happy Found-in-a-Box Day to my tiny lil 55lb middle-aged puppy imjustababy.mp4 smolbean.txt
These ID photos were taken a few months apart at the same DMV so if you think the person who takes your photo hates you, I just want you to know that they absolutely do. They want you to ugly and they did that on purpose. It's not your fault. You're hot af and they hate you for it.
Back from my camping trip and looking gorg
What am I supposed to do with this? I am genuinely asking how to have a conversation with the men on these apps. It's like pulling teeth.
Society longs for The Giver
A lil old lady in a mobility scooter who had just yelled at a small child let me go in front of her because I looked "just as pretty as a picture today" and I'm gonna be riding that high for a while even though I think it was mostly because my skirt was ankle-length
Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her
All my linguists are over here but all my baseball accounts are still over there and it's tearing me apart Lisa
