Godspeed, bruh🖤
Gonna be scaling back my social media usage as well. Social media is a tool that is useful in quite a few ways, but it’s also an outrage machine.
To paraphrase something @mauricenow.bsky.social once said: social media can devour your creativity.
I wanna start using them creative muscles agains.

To all the people across the internet who said it wasn’t possible to stop my dog from waking me up at 4 AM every morning I’d just like to let you know me and him have reached a compromise and he now wakes me up 3:30 every morning.
If you have an emotionally needy dog, please never let them sleep in your bed. Not once.
I let my dog curl up at the end of my bed one time several months ago now every morning at 4 AM I awake to a teacup poodle scratching at the side of the bed to be let up.
Every. Single. Morning. For months!

A dance at a Louisiana prison gives fathers and daughters a rare moment to reunite
The Louisiana State Penitentiary held its first ever ‘Father Daughter Dance’ this month. Prisoners reunited with their daughters, some who hadn't seen each other in months or years.

Only other time he has a reaction like this is when I first hit his ass with that peek-a-boo.
My toddler just tried Canes toast for the first time and had a reaction like he gazed upon the face of God.

Funniest part of an NFL football game is when the defense gets a turnover and very briefly the football team turns into the theatre club and they do their little performance they rehearsed that week.

I’m convinced I have the world’s happiest baby. He just is always giggling and smiling. Even when he falls, he’ll let out a big guffaw and say “uh oh” and get up, and start running all over again

I literally cry through all of these. When we treat human beings like human beings and not some sum of crimes and mistakes, we give them and ourselves a chance at a better society. Every person has an innate value. Every person is worthy of love.

There was a documentary last year called Daughters that was about this, pretty sure it's still on Netflix. Had me bawling by the end.
