Remember when we used to survive car rides with no seatbelts, a sunburn was just part of summer, and you had to blow into a Nintendo cartridge to make it work?
Tell me you’re Gen X without telling me you’re Gen X... go!

I’ve come to a realization—I need a 2nd house. Just a quiet little retreat in the middle of nowhere with a comfy couch, a fridge, a small desk, ☕️, and WiFi. Bonus points for a covered deck bc fresh air fuels my productivity.
Living in a house full of people 24/7 is not the ideal work environment.

Ah, St. Patrick’s Day-the annual celebration of all things green, beer-soaked & carb-loaded. Normally, I’d be diving into the corned beef, potatoes & Irish beer. But not this year. I’ll be sipping on my festive water and pretending spinach is a suitable substitute for anything.

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now?

White people posting about the Super Bowl half-time show & that there "wasn’t a white person on stage."
Maybe take a step back & ask yourself why diversity only seems to be a ‘problem’ when white people aren’t included. Because that’s not just an opinion—it’s racism, whether you realize it or not.

It really amazes me how people are so fucking hypocritical.
A person posted about MLK Jr. files saying, "He was a super terrible human being. Orgies? Prostitutes? Sexual assault?! This guy was supposed to be a pastor?!?!"
This person voted for Trump.

Dear #TikTok,
While I have enjoyed you from time to time, I'm still standing & didn't rely on you. But I have a msg for you. A notification like this 👇 stating Trump as the current sitting president really pisses me off & shows your true colors. So, come back or not, I won't be back to you.✌️

Am I the only parent who says things about or to their kids that you know is totally wrong to do, but just doesn't give a shit anymore?
As a Gen X mom who still has a teenager at home, when I say I want to strangle that child, just know I don't mean it literally... I just want them to LISTEN to me.

Tip: Put info in your profile description.
When I look at who's followed me, liked my posts, or liked other ppl's posts to find my ppl, I find it too time-consuming to click on all to vet them. So many have no description, so I focus on those that do & vet by visiting their feed.

Can someone explain to me why many bath towel sets come with 4 bath towels, 6 hand towels & 8 washcloths?????
Seriously? Why the hell does one need more washcloths & hand towels than freaking bath towels?

The controversy is not merely that Matt Gaetz raped underaged girls.
The controversy is not even just that Donald Trump wants to make this sex predator attorney general.
The controversy is that the entire GOP is OK with that.
