Wednesday commencement cancelled until lunchtime.
Rare that Darwin comes into the bedroom, but even he can't be bothered dealing with the wind and rain. Charlie will tolerate the intrusion, but won't give up that cushion in a hurry.

Women are too damned slow. They need to hurry up and finish ruining everything, I'm getting sick of waiting.

Most potential pet owners consider things like breeding, size, coat, intelligence, trainability, and temperament. Often overlooked is the crucially important element of aerodynamics, which can greatly affect your gas mileage, raising the overall cost of ownership significantly.

I really do believe that the secret to happiness is to be fucking dumb.
![Pop Base tweets: "Kim Kardashian said on ‘The Kardashians’ that she believes the moon landing was fake:
“They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but like, go to TikTok. See for yourself. […] There’s no gravity on the moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print in the photos. Why are there no stars?”"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreickzwdynkak7r4lur6afktglm3gontqsq5r5c7jeewyecyd4dczla@jpeg)

Third grade, 1983. Carri was my first crush. I'd written the foolproof and irresistible note, "Do you like me, yes or no, circle one" and she circled "yes". Life would be pure bliss from that moment on.
...until a few days later when I learned Brian H gave her a similar note and also got a "yes". 🧵

Damn it.. Darwin heard the electric fly swatter toast him a little snack, but I'd already dropped it down the plughole before I'd seen him wake up and stroll over.

Around 18 months so I lost my licence for speeding.
Huge inconvenience and I was ashamed & embarrassed.
The upside is that I was forced to buy this bike trailer as ALL my mail goes to the PO and I'm the only one who can pick up during business hours.
Still using it for even stupidly heavy mail :)

You're not Christianing the right way, pastor!
I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Thanks, Coles, for alerting my husband to the treats I added to the order he'd built this morning. And I don't even have said treat to show for it.

I can't help but think this is also just another hit on women.
Even women who won't believe it will be guilted by crazy relatives into simply suffering through headaches and other discomforts throughout their pregnancy.
