Folklorist, former mascot, wakes up with dread often but I am pretty sure it makes me funny.
I just had to say in a meeting, "Excuse me one moment, my dog has gotten himself stuck in a pilates ring"
He was fine and post rescue from the ring, he introduced himself on my meeting. He was the star of the meeting.

I can't believe I have imposter syndrome while the least qualified people on the planet get to run America into the ground.

One place our government could save a lot of money is the billions given to Elon Musk's companies every year.

...I actually don't think that will work now....
if we all start writing into the white house and use the phrase "President Musk" instead of "President Trump" do you think Trump will get mad enough to kick him out? that seems to be the only logically way to stop this, right?

This is kinda what it's like to wake up every day in America.... especially living like 10 miles from DC.

At some point, Musk is going to just order Congress dissolved and the cost savings sent to DOGE. That will free up more time for various Republican senators to record podcasts.
McConnell being the only no GOP vote on Gabbard is insane. They’re all insane. None of this makes sense beside the legislative branch voting to abolish itself.

I've seen this pop up in my news but living in America, I'm mostly presented with horrors that drown out all else. This theory to the banana plate mystery is quite interesting and honestly, refreshing? In comparison to the way my body assumes I'm being hunted when I get a 'BREAKING NEWS' alert.
Interestingly: this banana plate mystery takes place about 3 miles from Wollaton Park. In 1979, a group of children reported being chased around Wollaton Park by little gnomes driving small cars.
I’d like to think that the bananas were an offering to the gnomes of Wollaton.

Yes, I know I am the first to make a joke in a bad situation, but now is the to build community.
The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.

Will the Department of Education be dismantled before Linda McMahon can be put in charge? Or will there be a brief moment in time where instructors will be allowed to Stone Cold Stunner their students?

I feel like I'm gonna use this account the way I did all other new social media when I first got ahold of it. Say mundane yet cringe things and share photos of the coffee shop I'm at. Viva the early aughts!

Like, I should put this on my resume, create a little section of "special skills" or something.
Was recently told by a friend that one of their favorite "Betty Lores" was that I was a former mascot. It's true, I was my colleges mascot, an Eagle named Swoop. It paid for my books, I was very poor. I think I should embrace this weird part of my past more.
