Rough night. Reminder for all you folks out there whether it's you,you're parenting, or talking to a friend or family. Mental health is low these days. 988 is the mental health hotline. They wouldn't be doing that job if they didn't care.

It was very sweet when my son opened his present from me at 2 am and said that if he never got another present again it'd be okay because it was the best. "Hollow Bones" by Cody Kuehl #walldrug

Why read books? Because books are still the most powerful, reliable, transportive & magical storytelling technology we've invented - and all they need to work is YOUR OWN IMAGINATION! #booksky

My family loves potluck, there's always one dish they can and will eat, even if that's just the one that they bring themselves.

P and I just came up with a winning plan for the best dentist's office. The hygienists don't talk incessantly, if they need you to open up, spit, rinse, they type and a message shows up on a screen for you. You have a 3 button board that can reply with yes, no, and maybe/idk.

You know there's nothing but tomfoolery going on in your government when you're more interested in who might be the new pope than what the F the yayhoos are doing. Ssdd.

What do you do when your shoulder is immobile and feels like it's being stabbed in pain? read and take ibuprofen of course! Can I just twist that sucker off like a doll's and put a new working part on? Why am i not a machine?

I'm lucky my skin isn't as brown as my mom's was, because if it was ICE might illegally detain me for my tattood body, claiming I'm a gang member.
