Truncated menu for thanksgiving this year, as it’s just me, the kid, and mom, and she’s at the rehab facility after breaking her hip two weeks ago.

Grilled turkey breast, mashed potatoes and gravy, brown butter baked carrots, Hawaiian rolls and pumpkin pie.

Dems need to keep repeating it, and they need to say what mean. “You can refuse illegal orders,

examples of illegal orders are: intentionally harming or targeting civilians, engaging in unauthorized domestic LE actions, falsifying records, or anything else that clearly violates the US constitution”

The best thing about having a cat is when he’ll walk in the room carrying a slice of ham but you don’t have any ham in the house. Where’d you get the ham little guy?

the one near-universal piece of advice I can give: if you’re having an issue with someone you care about, tell them and explain why it’s bothering you. open, honest communication is always best.

Hey uh

Don’t care what the writer did to your fictional bestie

Death threats are insane and so are you.

Because the character is fake, the person is not.

Calm the fuck down, and move on.

Learn how to offer criticism like a fucking adult.

I know many wonderful men.

That said, it's men who are also trying to take away women's voting rights. Men who commit the majority of societal violence. Men who commit the majority of sexual assaults.

O wonderful men, you need to deal with the problem amongst you.

I was challenged by my kid to say some good things about myself, so, here goes:

I'm proud of finishing my book, & I think it's good.

I'm proud of my prowess in the kitchen. I'm a good cook.

I'm proud that I've learned how to be a good friend.

I'm proud that I keep trying.

It's really pretty simple: If people don't pay for books, authors can't afford to keep publishing them. No amount of arguing that pirating books is moral actually will change that fact. Find a way to support authors, or enjoy a future where the only new books are written by out-of-touch billionaires
I'm blocking everyone who parrots "they weren't going to buy it anyway" because that used to be the case. Now, it's the Boycott Amazon people, which *everyone* said would happen bc sales dropped like a rock overnight as pirated stuff went up.

The fact that there are good liberal women with ideologically maga husbands who just “agree to disagree” or “don’t discuss politics” should tell you all you need to know about liberalism and what it tolerates.
