Holding the mask for a safe time and place to express the heart ache would be unbearable, but for the loved one it is protecting.

We need soundproof heart (break) rooms, with comfy chairs, big mugs, kleenex, & kureg stocked w/ comfort drink pods. Just let it all go there in safety.

Nothing prepares one for the need to mask emotions from the one who knows you best or for the inability to safely and quickly express the heart break that accompanies knowing the sweetest actions of caring from your terminally ill loved one may never happen again.

TikTok misusing our personal data is bad.

Selling TikTok to a Trump-aligned billionaire family and one of his biggest political donors is even worse.

I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.

There is a super special place for those who find joyful (not surprised!) laughter in the pain and agony of others. An unspeakably special place for family members who do the same.

Old folks often say, age always catches up at some point. For the first time, I agree; increased my average daily steps by 4x and added weight to the "workout" 2 days ago. Seriously feeling bruised hips and muscle soreness.

Going to be creaky 4 a bit, but now can use that old phrase righteously 🤣
