Lol, tell me you're a moron in one bumper sticker or less: bro has a "guns save lives" sticker and nothing else on his truck citing a .org as evidence.

I'm at Cracker Barrel eating all day breakfast with the racists trying to find the one noose they hide on every Cracker Barrel wall among the antique portraits, dusty baseball gloves and gas station signs.

I lost my sister today in 2018, she was the reason I introduced myself to my wife and her now deceased brother. My love is a constant reminder of mortality and loss but also the only thing I have to hold onto both of them. It's a wonderful and wretched thing.

I find myself totally exhausted on every level.

This isn't the country I fought for.

This isn't the woman I married.

This isn't the life I wanted.

I know I'm not alone, but I couldn't feel more so.

Shitshow # 9972. JD just looks like he's watching to see if gramps is gonna fuck up. Whiskey Pete looks like he's actively shitting himself. Marco looks like he lost his soul and his ears have somehow grown bigger. Donnie looks like he finally actually memorized a speech while getting us into WW3...

I think right now we could all consider compassion.

You ever run across someone and while knowing I'm being a judgemental asshole, you can kinda tell they're the kinda person who would get in a fued with her sister over a child's birthday party, while living next door in the same trailer park?

Every bar with live music, there's a difference between ambient live music and needing earplugs inside your pub.

How am I supposed to nap in the middle of the workday when someone is always mowing in suburbia?!

The Trump administration is making Franz Kafka great again.

I like loudly asking my wife as we get into the car when a random couple are walking by "Sex club?" just to hopefully make for a great conversation starter.

"I think that middle aged fat couple are going to a sex club after dinner... I didn't know there were any around here. Odd."

Wow, here I am, another weekend looking around another brewery being used as a daycare. There are more kids than adults. It's weird, let's take our kids and drive drunk?!

I say this knowing full well I'd be tempted to do the same damn thing if we had crotch goblins. #mommyjuice #daddyjuice

Over the months of watching our cat stoically stand up to cancer, as he falters, it's catching up to me. He's the last of our original pets when my wife and I met 17 years ago.

It puts me in an identity tailspin of sorts, who are we without him? We'll still be pet owners. Just much sadder ones.

Tank sleeping off his chemo and physical therapy.

When did breweries become Sunday daycare centers? I'm looking at so many young parents drinking with newborns and toddlers, running free, throwing fries and chicken nuggets everywhere. Is this a thing?

IYKYK. Starting a new nomad playthrough. Thought I needed a new game, but apparently I needed something familiar in these trying times. Overriding the music with calming piano. I am gonna see if this playthrough can last 4 years. #cyberpunk2077

I feel like we're witnessing the end of the US Empire.

Omfg, my heart! Our 13 yo and 17 yo, and 17 has not been having a good year. Partial loss of use of his back legs, radiation, chemo, etc.

ROFL. The DC Maryland Virginia area has snow and a lot of people who helped ring in the new era of fascism are finding out their "truck" sucks.

Cool, we'd better see him being called president and rapist Donald John Trump from now on.
