A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

He’s trying to keep you from thinking about what horrors are in those Epstein files. He’s willing to sacrifice our troops to do it.

A quiet little fishing village in Manor Lords. I wanna be here and sit beside this lake. 😍

But now I kind of want to try this, lol! Maybe work on it a little bit at a time, and not so huge. Plenty of time left in the day for adulting, because it's not like the adulting is gonna let you just opt out! 🫠 But, quite seriously, how do they keep the lava from pouring out into the pit?

Winds Suck Dicks

someone waited their ENTIRE LIFE to write that headline...

Looking skyward in Arlington today.

Kindergarten logic: 12 = two-teen! Honestly, that makes better sense. I will accept that answer! 😄

My first was 2 when I started blogging, 19 now! 🤣 My little is 6 now, he happened during my Covid simming break, lol!

Our group was really good at staying out of drama. I guess that was pretty rare for the times, lol!

Totally do a forever save! What I love most is when two completely different families make friends, or maybe their kids start dating. That just won't happen if your families are split apart by different saves. Just make sure to do "save as" a LOT, because you know this game is trouble, lol!

Aww, the good old days of TS2. We all had so much fun! The community has not been the same since. Simblr (sims on Tumblr) is so shallow in comparison and nobody reads blogs anymore. 😭

It feels so unlike how other simmers play, but honestly, new sims just don't hold my interest and I love my families and all their history. If I play Paralives, 100% going to recreate some of my families there too, lol!

this is why I've got nothing part 16.3 of 18 “Aunt Lou! Happy New Year! It’s a brand new year now!” “It sure is!” Lou accepted an eager hug from her little niece, all hyped up on sugar and soda, sticky and sweet. At least Lou...

This week, my sims celebrated a happy 2089! When I first started writing about my legacy families and all their many friends, it was 2076. We haven't gotten very far very fast in almost two RL decades, but I do enjoy nitpicking all the tiny moments of their lives.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

E got one of those in his bag! People had a lot of fun ideas. I sent stickers with ours. Of course, about 25% of families sent candy still, lol! That’s actually better than I thought it would be.

Kindy Valentine's party tomorrow. I can't wait to be the only parent who didn't send candy because the teacher said "please no candy because of allergies in the class" and everybody sends candy anyway. Except me, who read the directions and followed the rules and looks like a cheap boring asshole. 🙃

"... any serious push to account for the actions of this government — to abolish the president’s private army, restructure immigration enforcement and punish anyone responsible for wrongdoing — must include recompense and repair for its victims."

Honest, I have wanted this so badly! 🤣

Spring break trip is happening!!! ✈️

(I mean, in a couple months it’s happening. For now, we’re still stuck in the ice. 🥶)

Driving in Circles The generational longing of "Fast Car"

Want a change of pace? Two years ago, I published this piece on Tracy Chapman and the generational longing of “Fast Car”:

💯💯💯💯💯

For like no reason at all, I just felt like making my sims build as many kinds of snowpals as they could. ☃️

I wonder if there's a list somewhere of all the variants you can get?

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

Thanks! Surprisingly fine, no bruises even. But I feel like I’m getting to the age soon where you can’t just brush off falling on ice. Like that’s exactly how people break a hip! 😬

Whoa, 8-12 inches! It looked like maybe you guys were getting it down there instead this time. It's supposed to miss us this time.

Oof, that ice! (The frozen water kind, not the government thugs!) I slipped flat on my butt in front of the whole neighborhood out shoveling their yards. Ugh. So embarrassing! 😵 I don't think I got injured (my butt is plenty padded, lol!), but maybe I'll feel it tomorrow.

The clouds today! 😃
