Dogs be like:
“I can’t help, but I will supervise.”
🤭 🐕
Every task becomes a union job when the foreman has four legs and overwhelming moral support. 🐶 🥰
A meme showing a German Shepherd sitting upright and looking very serious while a person crouches behind the dog doing some sort of yard or garden work. The caption above reads: “I love it when dogs try to help but the task at hand requires zero dogs so they just kinda stand in front of you and look serious.”

An image of Gävlebocken imposed on the “Time to move the turkey to the fridge” meme. The text reads “I don’t know who needs to hear this but it’s almost time to burn the Gävle Goat”.

A one panel illustrated comic meme: A multi generational family is sitting around a Thanksgiving turkey at the dinner table, heads bowed as the elder patriarch says grace: "AND WE WISH TO THANK EVOLUTION FOR SLOWLY TURNING SOME SPECIES OF DINOSAUR INTO A WALKING BALL OF MEAT WITH A TINY HEAD."

Drawing of a classic looking 1950s lady holding a big baked turkey and a family in the background sitting at a table with the meme-line, "Going to glaze the turkey with LSD this year, then we will see who has their shit together."

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.
When he was 14 years old, Rob Kenney's father abandoned him. After becoming an adult, he launched a YouTube channel called "Dad, How Do I do it?" that teaches kids how to do things a dad would normally teach them.

They judge us women for our looks, then judge us again for caring about them.

It’s not logic, it’s a self-serving double-bind meant to keep women feeling small.

It’s their insecurity showing, not our flaw.
A meme shows a fast-food soda fountain. Two soda dispensers are labeled: “Basing women’s value entirely on their appearance” and “Calling women ‘shallow’ if they care about their appearance.” A hand — labeled “Misogynists” — is pressing both buttons at once, filling a giant cup.
