Do I know any lawyers/law students in Pennsylvania who would be willing to look over legal paperwork/custody matters pro bono for an awesome single mom who was forced to leave school due to her ex? The mom has tried looking locally near her with no luck.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

A USPS mailbox in New York City

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules β€” mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The β€œofficial” date is when it hits automated sorting β€” sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting β€” it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

🎢 The sleigh bells, they were ringin'
The snow was fallin down
The carolers were singin'
The day Santa Claus came into town

He rode through the sky on a bright red sleigh
Laughed and flew above the trees
He made his way down the chimney shaft
The day Santa gave a gift to me

It is a perfect dwelling spot: quiet, dark, near things that serve food, and most importantly, forever with best pals Gumby and Pokey.

The Wardell family is close to being rent secure and saving their stored belongings through New Years but needs some more funds to make that dream a reality. Consider helping them out and giving them a New Year's Miracle. More info and links in Austin's profile. Thanks y'all stay awesome.

Not all of us. He sucks ass. His office never replies to constituent correspondence when you disagree with anything he does or if you have an opposing opinion. He's also rich, so he has the money to squash a dem opponent. We are hostages to his douchebaggery. I despise him.

If you are looking for someone to help with mutual aid this holiday season, Austin and his family could use the help. His dad is disabled, he has 2 cool pets, and they were screwed by the federal voucher system. Check out the USA Today article below and his profile for links to donate. Thanks y'all.

Me too. Watched the finale and the alternate endings and was delighted yet shattered all at the same time. They were all our pals, our sweet cheeses, our good time boys, our rotten soldiers. What do we do now???? πŸ’”πŸ–€πŸ§›β€β™‚οΈπŸ§›β€β™€οΈπŸ§›πŸ¦‡πŸ˜­

I just don't think healthcare should be for profit. 1/

Health insurance industry PR is working overtime right now diverting blame to physicians for claim denials and rising costs. I feel compelled to remind everybody that Optum (UHC) is the largest employer of physicians in the US. We have never had less power in healthcare than we do right now.

I believe there are even some hybrids now with springs and very dense firm layers of foam that will work on an adjustable base. Bed tech is wild and has come a long way. If you can't do super soft though, ghost bed is not for you!

It is a pain in the ass to shop but you will find your match, I promise! My tempur is pretty firm. My cousin has a ghost bed adjustable and it's like a sunken marshmallow. Mine is a brick in comparison! I have these sheets BTW and pockets are good:

A lot of these memory foam-ish mattresses they have now are compatible w an adjustable base. So if Tempurpedic doesn't make a mattress you enjoy but xyz brand or sleep number does, superb! Slap it on an adjustable base and you are all set! Also buy DEEP POCKET sheets!

I do not have a sleep number bed (to adjust firmness) but purchased a tempurpedic mattress on an adjustable base in my 30s. I'm a side sleeper. Can adjust head and feet. Have RA, fibro, and hypermobility. Best investment I ever made. Try out mattresses to find right one but def get adjustable bed!

Me, walking by my Dad's room seeing Tears For Fears is next on #TheVoice: "Oh cool, I will have to watch after commercial."

Dad: "Who ARE those guys?"

Me: goes on to explain TFF, their hits, names, etc.

Voice returns from commercial.

Dad: "So they're British fellas you say?"

Me: "Yes 🀣"
