This probably sounded on the snarky side because well that’s what I do best, but in all sincerity I’m at the age now where my kid is not calling as often for things he needs and it’s just how growing up works but I miss it. It was really great M called my dad- I know it means a lot to him
M has run into an engine issue with the tractor that is stumping him so he called my dad for advice and apparently it’s the most excited he’s heard my dad in years lol

I think the worst thing my one sister has ever done is point out that one of our family members has extremely strong Uncle Colm from Derry Girls vibes because now I can’t interact with that person without thinking omg it’s the shoelaces all over again

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

Made a p*rn star with this last night because I thought that would be the funniest possible drink to make with glitter and the problem is you don’t need the amount of syrup it would take to get a truly glittery drink
I think we all know what this means- time to order a big thing of food glitter

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

A couple of houses in the neighborhood are on the market or have recently sold and I wish I had a way to adequately convey with words the level of disgust and dismay my aunt has for the fact that I have no idea how much any of them are listed for

Notwithstanding other completely valid criticisms of the Catholic Church, I really need people to understand that the Catholic league is just literally Bill Donahue. It’s just one pathetic old man.
