"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?"

Unashamed to say this made me cry.

If you think massage is a luxury, I
want to change your mind. If you're
training at the gym, sitting at a desk,
doing physical labor, running, driving
a lot, playing sports...
You get the idea
If that's your life, massage will make
your life better.

You probably have a stiff nick, sore shoulder, tight hips, or a Monday that a massage would help.
Get booked!

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

A series of October 12, 2024 tweets from me reading:

for example, i think americans deserve to know if red state national guard will be invading blue states and kicking in doors and ripping people from their homes without due process

do you think americans in red state national guard know theyre going to be expected to shoot at uncooperative blue state national guard?

We've been in Ireland for a week, my husband, mother, and myself. It's been lovely. Tomorrow, we leave to spend several days with a buddy just outside of Glasgow. It's hard to believe this is real life!

I hear massage music after I've turned off the massage music. I need an auditory Screensaver to keep the sounds from marring my brain.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Things are coming along in advance of the grand opening event. I'm practicing in the yet-to-be-finished Beech Grove Wellness whilst getting things wrapped up. Plants have started to find their way into the building! The wind caught it during transport, and I'm hoping the roots will grab hold!

I'll be picking the winner for this on Saturday, to give everyone enough time to enter. Keep sharing it! I'll be adding some additional goodies in the box with the mask, lots of them.
