Today, I ruined a restaurant worker's"whole day" by saying "I'm so sorry, it seems like your machine is out of this syrup, so there is no flavor, could I please have a Dr. Pepper instead."
To be honest, I feel incredibly powerful if I can do that, when I begin with an apology and end with please.

Book 16 - Gone Wolf by Amber McBride.
This book was intense, unique, and timely. I recommend it if you are in a good place emotionally. Lots of potential triggers here, though.
However, I am really happy with this square for this book. 📚💙 #booksky #bookblanket2025

Democrats, if you are not speaking out like this, if you are not showing up with this energy, if you are not going after them like Kendrick Lamar went after Drake, do not ask me for money.
