I feel like we are being punished for Chauncey’s, alleged crimes. They don’t want us near Vegas.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

unfortunately this does mean adults will now feel justified instead of shame when carrying around their pillow from home
wearing slippers and pajamas to the airport is antifa now

RIP Rodney Rogers. Durham’s own. Played at Hillside and then went to Wake to play for Dave Odom, who’d been Durham HS coach back in the 70s.

So... I offered a shopwide sale last holiday season, and (what the hell) I'm doing it AGAIN.

Reposts deeply appreciated, it's the main way people find out. A chunk of profits will always go to woke-ass causes here in Oregon.

I just went to a meeting, not totally randomly (I’ve been to it before) but just kind of on a whim, and I heard fucking *exactly* what I needed to today. It’s hard to put that feeling into words. But I’m grateful for it
