Everything you have ever eaten or will ever eat is made of chemicals. You are a bag of chemicals and the bag is made of chemicals. The air you breathe is chemicals with empty space between them. Every drug that has saved a life is a chemical. The word natural and the word safe are not synonyms.

Yesterday we ate lunch at Hawaii City on Manhattan and when we were checking out, the owner said “You knew you were in the right place when you saw my mom, right?” (which, yes of course) and proceeded to tell us about off-menu items to try next time.

Voted! It was so easy - it took less than five minutes and was so simple to remember to just say no!

Some friends of ours sent us coffee, which was very kind! But then they saw our Halloween doormat and now they know our shame. It’s fair that they’re worried that coffee might not be enough to turn our day around lololol

I’m just a girl, rotting on her couch, thinking about the best (only?) pavlova she’s ever had.

Is it not even a red flag to Dems that basic human rights are “unpopular”??????????

Screaming is the bigger issue? “Respectability politics” will be the end of us all.
In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."

"You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"
