What the hell? In today’s thrifting adventures, I give you this gem. It’s satire. Had me and the ladies who work at the thrift in tears!

I’m just a woman. Standing in front of her government. Asking it to respect her.

A pin stating “focus on the good” in pink.

Is the suggestion to “focus on the good” meant to shame us for opening our eyes to injustice? Toxic positivity makes us believe that the status quo is acceptable.

Oh, he hated me SOOOO MUCH! That was 30 years ago. I’m sure he’s long gone. But I still got an A. 😂

Right? That’s what I get for taking it in summer school at community college instead of my university. He also thought civilization came before language. Um… you must communicate somehow before you can be civilized! 😂

My Western Civ professor claimed that the US isn’t imperialistic. I asked him how we got the 50 states and brought up the Philippines. I proved him wrong. But we’re at it again. Bullies taking what’s not ours. This is wrong.

Scenes from the drunken rampage of a raccoon in Ashland, VA

I live in the town where the now infamous raccoon went on a bender in the ABC store. I’m convinced that “full sploot” will become a favorite adjective.

Gross.

I’m a PT. The DOE just deemed my profession as non-professional, along with OT, SLP, NP, and PAs, all of which require post-graduate degrees and passing board exams. What a slap in the face to public servants. This will devastate our healthcare system.

How to Read a Book by Monica Wood

This one was for book club. And unexpectedly delightful story about how three lives connect.

Home Coming by Thelma Bryant, PhD

Just finished this self help book. Easy, good read, with so many super relatable bits of knowledge and advice.
