The great thing about making caramel for caramel lattes at home is no one involved in the caramel lattes is thinking about beverage profit margins.

I carefully worked out a way to practice the motherfucking promenade turns that are currently the bane of my existence and I just about instantaneously wrenched a calf muscle.
If I was really hardcore, I would still practice the other side but I might be too old for that shit.

The years of public-spirited masking during the pandemic made me forget how to deal with colds and now I am keeping pathetically about with what, if memory serves, is basically a sniffle.

Last week, the one guy in my ballet class was slightly bothered that I paired my leo with men's boxer briefs.
I am thinking, in his honor, tonight it should be men's boxer briefs in hot pink.

TFG has issued an order rescinding tariffs on (among other things) coffee and tea. I'm thrilled.
Yay! Now do craft supplies!
(I kid. They should do everything. The tariffs are wrong and bad and shitty and should all die.)

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

This seems like a great argument for universal basic income, and universal health and dental care. In a just universe, no teenager should need to hit Matt Gaetz up for money.
