My ex husband basically sells tech to c suite d bags, that job really opened my eyes bc he barely worked & made insane money. He had a coworker back when he went into an office who straight up napped under his desk, Costanza style. Yes white bros only, they recruit from Ivy League football teams.

Just want to reiterate that local politics probably (I'm home from school, I refuse to cite anything else today) has a bigger day to day effect on your life than any other!
Gov. Abigail Spanberger has announced she will sign legislation to raise Virginia's minimum wage to $15/hour.

It wasn’t so long ago that CNN sat down for a serious conversation with these guys. One of them is Pete Hegseth’s pastor.

Pretending these assholes are still ‘fringe’ is a dangerous mistake

I’ve seen this person get retweeted by MAGA influencers like Benny Johnson. He’s not kidding. This is a real political goal he is pursuing. He has 425,000 followers on Facebook.

I miss my first husband from time to time (that one is on me, I had zero business getting married), but never more than since I found out about this ANTM doc, we watched that show religiously bc it was such a train wreck. I want to watch w/him. His current wife probably not ok w/that, but maybe?

I'm not stupid but I'm not a tactician. I'm the goon, I know it & don't hate it. To each according to their ability & whatnot. 🤷‍♀️

She's clocking auntie bff going by bc last time she had cheese!

I think one of the most delightful unexpected benefits to living with bff is the fricking CONSTANT emotional support. I think I didn't feel the lack of it bc I've never actually had it before. It's bonkers!

I once attended a wedding as a form of psychological warfare. Just a fun (slightly disturbing-I've grown way up from then) fact. 🤗

So my ex apparently lied to the court regarding payment of some back state taxes, I wanted them paid as part of the settlement. He provided some kind of evidence he'd done so.

I was getting a small but vital to me refund, they took it for HIS back taxes. motherfucker is so exhausting. 🙄

So bff built a first floor master suite for herself bc she plans to die in this house. She has a REALLY fancy walk in tub that I've been using since she broke her leg. Today I discovered that if you time it right, the washing machine spin cycle makes the tub uh...vibrate. Not the worst.

Sure the world appears to be ending (& I do NOT feel fine), but both my classes got canceled today so miracles do happen!?

This landing outside my bedroom is a weird dark spot, but I found this wee rechargeable bird friend to light it for me!

I do not get people who actually stay in old plantations. I love touring historic homes but I've never once been in a house that ran on slave labor that isn't essentially gothic horror as architecture. Everything is so beautiful but you can smell
the rot it's built on. And ppl get married in them! 🤮

I LOVED her so much. I don't know anything about ice skating but could read the room well enough that I got she used her insane talent to say "eff you"at the height of her career, which young anarchist me worshiped. Old anarchist me still does.

I just found out the superbowl teams this year (I love it but I just can't feel good about young men destroying themselves, but that's just my weird thing).

Anyway, my American hometown is Seattle. From where is my sociopathic ex born & bred? Boston

I really want the Pats to lose.

Xena's new trick when I come to bed & tell her to "move, please." She takes one step & then dramatically swoons & points out that scritchies would probably save her.
