Your immune system would like you to stop catching Covid actually. It’s not learning. It’s being decimated.

Deep in human composting aka natural organic reduction aka terramation education and chatter with the one & only @streettheorist.bsky.social. Oh, it fills my heart to spread word.

I feel so strongly about a disposition that gives back to our planet in our final act!

ever since I gave up my career dream of being a lounge singer, belting Taylor Swift discography in lower Manhattan, I have thought about being a professional grandmother.
if I had somebody to run my TikTok account, I need a medium manager 🤔

Imagine lying as easily as @RepTimBurchett does. Nobody is paying the millions of people who will be out there.

Wanting better for your country isn’t hating it, Tim. Quite the opposite. It’s real patriotism. 🇺🇸

Throwing out the constitution to cling to power is the real hating your country.

It breaks the I V vi IV pattern chromatically by going into G sharp Maj for a sec, which is right in between V and vi, but the tonic C is never left! kinda breaks & follows the rule at the same time

I can’t wait to see what you get! I looked for the fanciest shop in South Bend and didn’t tell them what I wanted, but told him what I didn’t and I got a big bouquet all wrapped in orange 🧡

i’m going to make zucchini bread sexy today by adding sourdough discard, maybe a dash of cardamom, and pistachios with a white chocolate glaze ❤️‍🔥

patty @enchanted1956.bsky.social 🦋 @enchanted1956.bsky.social · 18h

you can tell a good cookbook by its index
If it ends at Y.
(that means they didn’t include zucchini bread)

question:
if Republicans are in charge of everything, why are Democrats being blamed for the shutdown?
answer:
blame often follows action,
not inaction.

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”
