Aaaand 9 minutes till we lose an hour π I'm fine.
I wonder how behavior would change on a social and political scale if all of the "God fearing" people adhered to John 8:7-11. (TL;Dr 'Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone'). At very least, a lot of time and resoirces could be redirected.
My inability to freeze (and unfreeze) time is becoming increasingly frustrating.
If you want to play Devil's Advocate, you really need to bring more to the table than scepticism.
When you make a generalization, you're talking about theoretical people. So if you're you're telling yourself a story anyway,
and if life is short and you have limited time,
and if there's already enough bad things in the world,
why would the stories you choose to tell yourself be negative ones?
If you find yourself saying things like, "people don't ---" or "people are all ---" β I would like to remind you that you are people, and that while, yes: bad choices exist β good ones do too. So why are you choosing to focus on a concept that may frown your spirit instead of uplifting it?
I was today years old when I realized Whimsy has kept me alive.
The ladies at water aerobics called me "young blood" today and I think it made my life πππ
Me, deciding what holiday show to watch today: hmmm... I want to be gay and cry so... WICKED: One Wonderful Night it is!
Me, 45 seconds into the opening sequence: ππ₯°πβ¨ππ

I have been staying for years that if we could just hand this country over to stage managers, everything would get fixed.
Fascists donβt like vulnerability and earnestness, which is what theater kids have in spades. And God knows itβs a safe space for so many LGBTQ kids. It was for me.
Debate kids, on the other hand, are all about winning.
One of my favorite things during #Christmas time in New Orleans are all of the ugly Mardi Gras sweaters. Like, you think it's going to be an ugly Christmas sweater, but then you realize it says "countdown to Mardi gras" ππ¦
Dear Christmas Radio,
Love you, but you DO know that there's more than Mariah Carey, Michael Buble, and 10,000 versions of the 12 days of Xmas, yes?
I've been making Xmas mixes for 17 years, so holler if you need help expanding your selection π«Άπ»π @iheartradio.bsky.social
The great thing about overcast days in December is that I get more opportunities to see my tree lit up π₯°π
SO my crazy brain wishes they had used a black and white car for drop off bc those of us who live here would have clocked it, and everyone else would have accepted it was an Uber OR not noticed at all.
And now that I have purged this thought, I can resume enjoying the movie. πΏ
Like, it's SUCH a small detail, but you really don't see yellow cabs here. United Cab Co is the only one that sometimes actually shows when you call them, and they are black and white. I'm sure they chose a yellow cab for larger cultural visual shorthand, BUT then I realized everyone Ubers anyway.
Decided to watch Spinal Tap II in memory of Rob Reiner (and bc I got to be an extra for the concert scene) β I'm genuinely pleased that the story is centered in NOLA; Also, I'm immediately distracted by the yellow cab that drops off Nigel. π€ #moviemagic #whyamilikethis
Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you knowβs favorite movie. If youβre a Californian, heβs also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.
Sometimes I'll go 4 days without remembering to eat, but ever since discovering that the texture of leftover french toast gets better after 5 minutes in the air fryer, I've been remembering to eat at least two days in a row when there's yesterday's French Toast in the fridge! #adhd #disorderedeating
Depression is getting out of your tax-sponsored water aerobics class at the public pool feeling all of that good exercise dopamine and trying to store this feeling like you're the kid in #TheGiver bc you know that AI is taking us to Urinetown and you gotta appreciate this pool while it exists.
32 in New Orleans
32.
In NEW ORLEANS.

Wild how I gained 3 followers on TikTok last night and yet my total follower count is now one less today than it was yesterday.
Matter of fact, I've noticed my follow count stuck at 921/922 since the change over ... Is this what "shadowbanned" looks like on TikTok? π
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence π₯
Oh, don't get me wrong, I absolutely abhor ai and we are running to Urinetown. I find it completely horrifying. But I'm trying to get through Thursday so this was my silver lining.
