This post has led me to wonder about how one becomes a “disney adult” in the first place.

I understand that there are right ways and wrong ways to have the age conversation about Dem leadership and I don’t know how I feel about specific solutions like age and term limits. I do know THIS PART HERE is a problem bigger than any one individual 78-year-old and it’s making us all furious

I think my biggest betrayal is that it feels like they have not nurtured upcoming generations. we've watched them cut the knees out from people who get the base excited instead of mentoring them, it's aggravating as fuck.

Thank you for the needed smile. 😊

I know you’re talking about this specific medication but I am feeling so grateful you posted about certain generics not working for you. I’ve had this experience twice now with two meds and thought I was maybe imagining things?? apparently not.

Can’t watch it on my phone because I don’t have the tiktok app but I’m willing to bet I’m one of your people. I feel insane being around so many unmasked people whenever I do go to indoor events.

Sounds perfect. And I found my copy of Nightfall on my shelf this afternoon, so I’m planning to re-read. ◡̈
