Actual quote from an ICE supporter before things got as bad as they are now as we were discussing people being deported without due process

“Sometimes you have to crack a few good eggs to make an omelette”

These are people made in the image of God with dignity and worth, not fucking eggs!
Actual quote from an ICE supporter: someone asked him if he was okay with tactics like what happened in Chicago, where families were zip-tied and pulled from their apartments in the middle of the night.

He answered, "Yes I was. Whatever it takes to keep America free."

A question for white people because I didn’t grow up in white culture & I’ve only seen grease once

I was looking up the lyrics to Greased Lightning and how has no one ever talked about the innuendo in the last line of the chorus

I checked multiple sources thinking it should be scream not cream.

Every time I drink two margaritas and have to baskets of chips and salsa I feel terribly bloated afterwards, but yet while procuring margaritas and consuming chips and salsa I forget that my digestive track will produce enough gas to travel Route 66.

I wish I was going into 2026 feeling like I was doing more than just surviving. I have no clue when I last thrived. On the bright side there have been times when I was just hanging on by a thread and now I'm hanging on and thankfully there is more than a thread.

Stranger things 2 it is!

I was initially going to watch Monday night football tonight, but I’m in the fantasy football championship for my work league and both myself and my opponent have players going tonight so I know it won’t be relaxing since the score is already really close.
My battery is on zero after all the chaos from the past several days. Trying to decide if tomorrow night after the gym I need a margarita or to come home and start stranger things volume 2.

Something about going to the gym and exerting myself physically makes me realize how emotionally drained I am.

I believe in grace and mercy. Thus there is never a reason to judge another person…

Unless they load the dishwasher like a Stevie wonder impersonator!

The way some people load the dishwasher completely baffles me!

I find it crazy when people say that pets shouldn’t sleep in your bed…I mean what did this adorable gift from God ever do to not have the privilege of sleeping in my bed?

Nothing like feeling like you want to break down and cry, but knowing that the second you do that your mother will call and ask you to take her to the bathroom for the 50th time.

I know that right now more than ever I need to focus on self care. I never consider the question what do I want. As I’m sitting here pondering that as I drink my coffee it dawned on me that maybe the answer to my happiness problem is right in front of me

I talk to friends who say their marriage is like a partnership and I felt so alone in my marriage that my response is like that of king George in Hamilton, "I wasn't aware that was something a person could do."
