lol. My son had a banger tik tok account when he was in middle school and I had no idea. There is a special pride in watching them grow up to be funny. His current trend is to bait me with cat pictures. Like this. 🤷♂️

I struggled with reading until college. Those comics taught me how to read when I was little. I used to LOVE this collection. I hope you’re feeling good and that you got the theater with the Lay-Z-Boys! 😎

💪 I feel like pride has been co-opted into the main stream without losing its roots. I had a tough leather daddy in full biker leather, with no bra, and a Pedro pascal mustache feed me a large wedge of watermelon from a silver tray. 💗 Christmas could learn a thing or two!

Yeah, not a bot. But it’s a lot. Sorry - realizing I have not had time to process anything. I’ll leave you with this peaceful view from the deck before I called the car.

I went to nowadays (aka Fraggel Rock) for the all day outdoor house party and was impressed to see that Zoran had a booth! I had a great conversation with their volunteer on how he and Lander are supporting each other. That is the future. I also got a big hug. 😃Do not underestimate Fraggle power!
