I'm in the US. I occasionally drink tea in the fall & winter. Just one cup at night if I do. I will have ice tea that I make since I don't like sugar or aspartame. I don't drink much if it. Honestly, I'm probably always dehydrated because aside from morning coffee, I rarely drink during the day

Is Grokopedia going to be the name of his next kid?

And yet the administration let 17 members of El Chapo's family into the US while deporting hardworking immigrants paying taxes & looking for a better life. So, OK, goober Vance. Yea, those cartel members gotta go.

Some are due to my chronic illnesses. I used to post photos & nice things, but it feels "phony" if that makes sense. I read light, easy stuff that I don't even review. I've had Wind and Truth since last year & haven't read a page. I don't care either. Reading over 1000 is just daunting

I haven't posted in a while either. Nothing is normal right now & I just don't have it in me right now. I haven't had one anxiety free day since January. I'm so damn exhausted. I'm behind on reviews and reading. It's like I can't pretend everything is normal because it's not.

I used to teach a bioethics course, which had a 10-page paper requirement. I would never allow the use of AI. META is actively mining everything we post to train it. I'd love to ditch my Instagram. I loathe META, but it helps authors. I deactivated FB years ago. It's toxic, just like threads.

I block as well. I loathe AI. My college has allowed instructors to decide how AI can be used in class. I don't teach courses that it would be of any use. It's theft and horrible for the environment. It should not be allowed at all

Does he even know what mitochondria are? You can't tell if someone has a mitochondrial disease by looking at them 🙄. Can he detect chronic illness? I have 2. I look fine. Sorry, I wasted money to find out if he could have just looked at me. He is a danger & needs to be removed.

No one gives a shit about you "Stacy is Right 🙄" . But we do care about pedophiles. Your disgusting statement clearly indicates you are one if you don't care if he touches your kids. If you actually do have kids, you shouldn't be near them. If you have a partner, they should take those kids & run.

Book Review: The Undercutting of Rosie & Adam by Megan Bannen. This final book in the Hart & Mercy Series is just as wonderful, beautiful, & emotional as the first 2. I will miss this world & characters. I highly recommend this series!

My apologies. I missed that you wrote proof in the original post. I guess I just couldn't believe they would actually do this. It shouldn't surprise me, right? They revel in their cruelty & hatred.

I thought this was satire. Just can't tell anymore. I went to Florida GOP, and there it was in their shop. It's disgusting and appalling. They are so fucking proud of their cruelty. This is sickening.

DECEPTION, DEATH & THE DIVINE is a beautiful heartbreaking love story, part of The Rift Series by Lindsey Rhoden. This novella takes place well before A Tether in the Rift, about the gods they worship. I highly recommend this amazing romantasy series

They are fucking out of control. The fascist, racist masked men meeting their fucking quota by any means possible, to collect their hefty paychecks. So brave with their whole face covered. Uncover them & they'll cower in a corner like the cowards they truly are.

James Woods is asshole. Like, dude, did you really think no one would notice you posted a 5 year old video to fit your pathetic narrative? Why don't you go hang out with Chaci & has-been Hercules, Kevin Sorbo. It'll keep all the POS together. Moron.

Steven Miller is an evil POS. His own family hates him. If I believed in hell, I know there would be a special place reserved for him

Can they please stop calling it the One, Big, Beautiful Bill? First of all, it's not. It's the one big cruel bill. And when they keep repeating the name, they sound like a bunch of toddlers. I guess they are, given the incompetence.

Don't get distracted by the bromance break-up. Peter Thiel is the puppet master of project 2025. I think they would love vance in there. He's more likely to carry out the full plan. Trump is too unpredictable & a sociopath. Vance is as well, but more " controllable."

I was not aware that medical research had to be approved by him before publication. I highly doubt he knows how to interpret anything published in a scientific journal. He's still trying to find out where the green eggs and ham are & the ramifications of hopping on pop.

My son is gay & this administration terrifies me. But WTF is an "LGBTQ graduate major?". Did you really want to say fewer LGBTQ graduates? You're a homophobe, transphobe, & racist. Go head to church & wear your cross. You'd probably deport Jesus for being woke. You might want to read the Bible. POS
