My goodness, it is absolutely ridiculous how many orders I place on Amazon Prime each year. Another 340 for 2024. Also don't love supporting Bezos' wealth but better than Space Karen at least.

Put the old #ThunderShirt originally worn by the legendary Chief (may he RIP) onto Boomer... and now he's beginning to behave like Chief, finding new and weird napping spots. #dogsofbluesky @dogs.bsky.social

First and third finish in the LAR-NO showdown today. Repping Props.com with shoutout to @establishtherunnfl.bsky.social & @drewdinkmeyer.bsky.social on ETM, led me to lean into CPT Kyren. #DFS

Great way to spend 12th wedding anniversary! (Shoutout wife.)
