Was just cleaning up my Google Drive before I start a new collab and stumbled across the eulogy I wrote for my dad. Oof! I didn't expect that emotional curveball today. Trying to reset and get my head back on task. Think the detour is unavoidable though.

The best pickup line used on me this year? A very stoned 31 year old friend, mid-munchies, paused his food search and declared: “You’re a snack!”
Still makes me giggle every time I think about it #pickuplines #munchies #420

CBS will end 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' next year
Colbert confirmed the cancellation during a show taping on Thursday. CBS said the move was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night."

Went to visit my husband in the nursing home today - but I didn’t realize it was time for Bingo.
He took one look at me and told me “I’ll call you later”
So….yeah.

The old dems don't want too much change - they'll lose power and money. They aren't working for us as much as they could/should be, for that reason. We need a clean sweep.

Her mother brought her to the US as a child, and affectively abandoned her. She lived in homeless shelters and on the streets. She had to build her own life. She's now 25, married to a Marine and has children.
She was ordered deported because her estranged mother didn't go to a hearing.

Your occasional reminder that humans are very, very weird because we don't have bones in our clitorises masto.ai/@vagina_muse...

We hope nobody needs to hear this today, but 📢 vaginas do not have a bone 📢
However, clitorises do, in most animals. It's time to bone up on the baubellum, also known as the os clitoridis.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

Yesterday I was a passenger instead of a driver - I noticed this for the first time and was able to snap a picture.
I have no idea how long this house has had a skeleton attached to its chimney, but now I definitely can’t miss it!
