Elder millennial mom. Liberal in a conservative state (Utah). Trying to find a community to help me keep myself from collapsing into a gooey pile of hopelessness.

“Where there’s life, there’s hope.”
I’ve been posting this every New Year since 2022, and my feelings have not changed.

We know that when he was a lad he ate 4 dozen eggs every morning to help him get large.

That’s it. That’s all the backstory we need.

Sure it is. 🙄 I’ve been a massage therapist for 21 years, been working for a popular franchise for over 15.

Right now our schedules are pathetic, and this normally our busiest time of year. More clients than usual are canceling memberships.

Last time my schedule looked this bad was 2008.

Pretty sure I worked in that building many years ago. Hope it works out for everyone.

We’re trying to change things, Utah is #1 in usage of the 5 Calls app.

But, it’s an uphill battle, and a steep one. Utah is one of the most gerrymandered states in the U.S. and yeah, a sizable chunk of the population is used to simply voting for whoever is Republican and LDS.
