"I'm not sure if you've heard," my boomer mom said with a gravitas that suggested she was about to tell me of a death in the family, "but your aunt no longer has a landline."

Time-traveling Catherine from 2025: "and after we ate an entire pie at the Detroit-style pizza parlor I went next door and bought a bag of weed gummies for $15."

1995 Catherine who sells weed out of her wonderbra cup: "I am definitely hallucinating this shit."

I just became a monthly donor to the Abortion Fund of Maryland and I hope you will consider doing the same. Everyone loves someone who has had an abortion.

It's only "blush blindness" if you don't know how much you have on. I prefer the term "blush madness."

A white woman with short gray hair in a faux hawk smiles at the camera with another woman who has long wavy hair.

Not to brag but my girlfriend and I are adorable (actually yes to brag)

A small, white and fawn dog is near the camera and a large red dog is a little farther away

Henlo friends

I think she hopes she can fool me into giving her the big dog's meal 😂

A small fluffy dog looks pleadingly at the camera from inside a large dog crate. The door of the crate is open

What is she in for?

An empty bay at Costco next to the coca cola bay

Costco is completely out of diet coke. I know it may seem unfair to complain when things are going SO WELL otherwise but this kind of thing never happened under Obama.

When I google "Airbnb" the first result that comes up is VRBO and I think that's such an alpha move.

"are corporations people?" i mean idk Jan it depends whether they're trying to buy a gun or get an abortion i guess

I'm forty four but I have the skin of a sixteen year old (acne prone).

I dropped tofu on the floor and one of the dogs ate it and I have this extremely persistent hunch that if I tell my brother he'll say something very funny in response.

AI version of myself that does my job for me so I can sun myself upon a rock like the apex predator I am.

Yes I keep up with current events 🙄 for instance I know there's an election in New York and one of the candidates has a bunch of cats —me, after spending three (3) minutes on social

Another fun thing I learned at Karaoke is if someone sings Machinehead you can walk around and ask all the Bros "so, are you a fellow bush fan?"

Were the entire nineties a lie or just sixteen stone?

Which lyrics you ask? Basically all of them.

You learn something new every day for instance the other day I was at karaoke and I learned that I've had the words for Machinehead wrong for 30 years.

A pair of legs and feet. The feet are in floral sneakers with white laces

Biz trip accessory shots let's set the tone for this meeting

Before He Cheats makes me really angry because of the condescension and vitriol aimed at the other woman. There is no textual evidence to suggest that she knows the man she's flirting with at the bar is cheating on someone. Why can't we give her the benefit of the doubt?
