I did a butch (adj.) today & installed a ceiling fan all by my-dang-self.

(Letโ€™s do hope we donโ€™t realize I did something less than stellar with the install anytime soon though.)

Heโ€™s said he wants to make sure anyone who doesnโ€™t love this country canโ€™t vote. He said a ton that Dems donโ€™t love this country & now heโ€™s threatening conservatives that theyโ€™ll go on a list of โ€œdidnโ€™t perform civic dutyโ€ if they donโ€™t vote.

Just so obvious & corrupt & itโ€™s treated like ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Voters in Tx are getting mailers or texts reminding them that whether they voted is public information.

Conservative voters are getting the message that Trumpโ€™s administration will get information that they either did or did not perform their civic duty.

This is absolutely insane.

One hour & 50 minutes from start to walking out.

Itโ€™s been almost an hour & Iโ€™m still waiting. At least thirty more minutes to go Iโ€™m guessing.

Not even for a presidential have I ever come close to this wait time before.

Iโ€™m in a heavily Dem area so that is contributing. Thereโ€™s been zero Rโ€™a in or out since I got here.

Standing in line to vote & Iโ€™ve never seen this many people waiting. Very encouraging.

When weโ€™re good AND theyโ€™re good, I think itโ€™s much more fun than when only one of us is good or when weโ€™re both bad.

That 2006 spurs series was THE most fun (& stress!!) Iโ€™ve ever had watching a playoff series. (The outcome of 11 was the most fun outcome but THAT series & win is the GOAT imo).

I was screaming at the TV โ€œhe WOULD have lost his license this is SO horrific, this isnโ€™t funny!! NOO!!โ€

I think itโ€™s CRAZY that some licenses allow a therapist to have a personal relationship with an ex client after 7 years, my license rule is LITERALLY once a client ALWAYS a client & I LOVE that.

Ok I started watching Nobody Wants this recently and I REALLY like this show but as a therapist I just need to scream something out into the ether real quick:

A THERAPIST WHO DATES THEIR CLIENT IS A FUCKING PREDATOR AND U SHOULD NEVER SUPPORT ANY RELATIONSHIP LIKE THAT BECAUSE U ARE ENABLING ABUSE!

Iโ€™m already seeing people hint that they wonโ€™t vote in the general if their preferred candidate loses this primary & itโ€™s absolutely maddening to me.

If just a FEW more REGISTERED Dems didnโ€™t stay home in Betoโ€™s last race, heโ€™d be in office right now.

We have GOT to work TOGETHER.

Whatever happens in this Texas primary between Crockett & Talerico, I will dance to the damn polls to vote for whoever wins it.

I donโ€™t know how much hope I have That a Dem can win state wide here yet but I refuse to concede & not vote in the general because of failings in this primary race.

Iโ€™ll listen to this in the morning.

I hope they donโ€™t shut him down if heโ€™s healthy enough to play. I think itโ€™d be terrible for his relationship w/the organization & his development as a growing, hungry young athlete. (& Iโ€™d bet a lot of money that he doesnโ€™t want that which should matter, too.)

I would love it if our elected & appointed leaders (esp the ones in charge of our f*cking health services) never once did cocaine, much less had a history of doing so much insane sh*t that they proudly go on shows boasting about snorting coke off of nasty ass toilet seats jfc Iโ€™m crashing out rn

A great director needs to take this story of a massive cover up of the most horrific predators in this country, tell this story in a well written movie with blockbuster actors, & give every penny of the proceeds to the living survivors & the families of the ones lost to suicide or murder.

Agreed. And I wonโ€™t care about competitive for a while I think, just watching Cooper take insane leaps & seeing them win a few more of these close games will tide me over.

Hearing the Phoenix crowd react to that dunk was so fun. Iโ€™m so damn glad heโ€™s here.

Naji & Coop get me so excited for what they might look like with Lively, Kyrie & some young stud from this draft in the fall.

Hearing road crowds react to Coopโ€™s play is gonna be just as fun as it was when theyโ€™d react to Luka huh ๐Ÿ˜‚

The more they press us the better we get at organizing, building community, & fighting them, & the better we get at that, the stronger & more joyful our community gets.

We know how to do this we have this blueprint.

We grieve in the morning
We march in the afternoon
And we dance at night

Removing the flag from stonewall is not even a little bit surprising.

They have to keep pointing at the smaller marginalized groups as the real threats to America & queerness is so easy to point to for so many reasons.

Anti queer propaganda has ALWAYS been an easy answer for them.

Look Iโ€™ve totally liked a person Iโ€™m dating a little bit more after meeting their cool friends so youโ€™re onto to something with this & your buddies are real lucky you get it.

Itโ€™s so damn obvious when your post was written by AI & I hate how frequently those posts get so much attention.

โ€œItโ€™s not thisโ€ฆ.Itโ€™s thisโ€ฆ.โ€ is maddening for me to read now.

Also lists with check marks & the superlatives that followโ€ฆ

Donโ€™t use AI for fake internet points just GO TO THERAPY!

We've had it in our house forever...and I still only JUST started using it...it's SO GOOD...one of my favorite things to do now is mix it with vegan mayo and use it as either a dip or a saucy add to the dish I'm eating....I'm so mad it took me this long to know how great it is.

This teenager saved his neighbor's dog from drowning in a freezing pond. This is Bernard. His family contacted emergency services right away, but high school senior Hugh Pinneo got to Bernard first. Hugh said he's "just glad I acted that day and saved the dog's life." We are too. 12/10 for all

That would be fantastic...he doesn't want day-to-day involvement but if he could be a silent part of the investment and keep doing whatever her wants with his career, I'd never worry about this team's ownership or management like I have since this last purchase ever again.

I give Dirk's aura credit for everything that has gone right for the Mavs since last year. He's a fantastic human & his vibes have karmically fixed what Nico so ardently tried & failed to break. I know we still don't have Luka, but we are in the best possible position & now the team might get sold.

I actually think we might be able to do this......after everything else that has gone right for us since the trade I believe it's possible.....

But rumors are that there is going to be an NBA franchise expansion to Vegas (& Seattle) very soon, which makes me think there's MORE of a chance....
