I can’t be the only one who looks at this packaging and thinks that it was meant for a sex toy instead of an actual toy… or is it just that dirty scorpio brain of mine?

My husband gave me flowers for our wedding anniversary but the box they came in was the greatest gift of all… if you were to ask our cat.
(He’s spent pretty much the entirety of the last four days innit)

you want to be the boss of me, now’s your chance… 😂
Tomorrow is my boss’ last day and we’re looking for a new executive director of ambulatory, clinical and executive communications. Position is west coast-based (must live in WA, OR, or CA). HMU if you’d like a referral to the job posting!

No matter how federal workers reply to the email, they should certainly do it using "Reply to All."
And might as well add every email address and list you can think of in the "To:" field. For government transparency purposes.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.
This pride, we riot.

Its been a hot minute since I’ve had the good sense to sort and order all the clothes I’m planning to take on a trip, two days before departure. Unfortunately, our pets clearly know what’s up because they’ve become excessively needy and also a bit despondent in the past twelve hours. 🫠

Hello, world!
I'm a custom #couture #fashion designer on the cusp of my first trunk show. So there's going to be a lot of #sewing talk. Everything else we'll play by ear.
Here are a few pix of my latest commission, a fabulous leather look for @motoridersd.bsky.social.

It’s been a long time since I was properly pleased with the design of an AIDS LifeCycle cycling jersey that I earned through fundraising efforts but this one for reaching $1000 is properly cute. Who wants to help me find out how the $5k one looks? giving.aidslifecycle.org/participant/...
