As we are in cookout season, here’s a gentle reminder for the village:

People aren’t always talkative.
People don't eat foods they don't want.
People decide if/who they hug.
People may need a moment to process a crowded space.

Children are people. Respect them as persons.

We'll fry Luigi Mangione yet let Diddy Combs walk free. That's all you need to know about ass-fucking-backward we have become as a nation.

I love SVG, but someone please get my man a toupee or something. I don't like the fact that he looks like diet Burt Myers here πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

The Mexico City/road course hater crowd has been way more vocal than the anti-SVG crowd. Including quite a few who work in the damn sport lol

SVG haters saying he won because of mixed conditions is really something when you consider rain was only a factor in the first stage. Dude dominated the weekend, get over it.

Imagine being a #NASCAR fan in 2025 and still being a "I hate road courses" ass bitch. Grow the hell up lol

If one more friend/acquaintance I know and love exposes themselves as a Trump/Musk/RFK Jr. truther, I might paint my walls with my brain.

Andy talking about Zihuatanejo in Shawshank Redemption is honestly the perfect summation of the last 20 years of my life. I need my warm place with no memory. πŸ₯Ί

Is the new thing with liberals to post about how your heart hurts for the country, then turn right around and post racist/classist "I told you so" bullshit?

Democrats cannot get out of their own way to save their lives. Cannibalizing those in their own party is all they know. This is how Cheeto got a second term.

When will Americans realize that doomposting does jack shit to make anything better?

We have an entire world of activism pathways at our fingertips to help stop the bleeding in the next four years, yet we wait for the end of the world instead of preventing it.

Be better. For our nation's sake.

Fierce winds drive off snow and ice from the peaks of Paine Grande in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. There is a whole world of drama and grandeur to be found far above in the peaks of mountains, and especially so for Patagonia!

Fierce winds drive off snow and ice from the peaks of Paine Grande in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. There is a whole world of drama and grandeur to be found far above in the peaks of mountains, and especially so for Patagonia!

Although the wind was screaming in my ears, it was a scene of serenity & breathtaking majesty as the Cuernos del Paine lit up in magnificent light. Light I had never witnessed in my years of exploring Patagonia.

After several attempts over a period of 6 years, patience finally paid off. For an all too brief moment, Argentinian Patagonia's vast, breathtaking Perito Moreno glacier is dressed in the most beautiful light!

Deep in the mountains, there is a world of untold beauty. It changes in matters of seconds, never to be repeated. Capture it, preserve it for eternity, share with those who haven't witnessed. Patagonia, Chile.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: β€œWe grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

My brain is helpfully trying to distract me from my sense of dread about the state of the world by replaying every embarrassing thing I’ve ever said or done. So helpful.
