NGL I teared up a little over this remembrance of all the years Susan pushed this quivering pink goo on us.

I love this idea. It’s like PNW ASMR for your eyes.

(Did you know Tonya was born on the same day we blew up the whale? 11/12 should seriously be a state holiday!)

I tried to work in the exploding whale, but couldn’t get there. :)

I’ll just say this about those 2 journos y’all are talking about.
