It really is! And happens multiple times a year (and for most every holiday)!

She’s the best.

I knew saving these pictures would come in handy from time to time! 💋

Spot on! She is a very specific type of silly joyful (a type that @markpochow.com frequently reminds me of 🥰).

Did I tell y’all, when I turned 30 I was living in Milwaukee, mid-pandemic, with nobody to be around, and she mailed me a box with ziploc bags of random things from her house: pens, quarters, q-tips, paper clips, post-it notes, sauce packets, etc., … and there were THIRTY of each one of them. 🥹

My Mom is wonderful & this is who she’s been my whole life. 🤣 Received an unexpected package yesterday. Among the things in the box: one roll of toilet paper, a clothespin, a short note from her bestie, three $5 bills, lens wipes, a small bucket, a t-shirt, face cream, Reese’s, I could go on y’all…

IF YOU’RE IN LINE TO HELP REBUILD, STAY IN LINE!!!!!

We prosecuted the Nazis for doing this during World War Two

Of course they are

The US have effectively told allies that they will use their diplomatic efforts as cover for military strikes, which does create a number of potential challenges for trying to end the war, or any other diplomatic activity for that matter.

Let’sssssss go. 🍿🎥🔪

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

hahahahahahaha

We're moving from a dog-killer to a guy who wants to fistfight labor leaders on committee hearing floors

There it is: Noem out, Mullin in

couple qualifications on this ~

- the shortage is not affecting potash right now, but diff fertilizers serve diff purposes. corn, for instance, needs both nitrogen AND potash
- piece focuses not on food *shortages* but how this will affect big cash crops ie corn, soybeans

I would simply w*lk off a br*dge.

We’re getting closer…

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.
