Ohhhhh do I understand this!!!!

old enough to remember when legislation like this was almost universally considered incompatible with a free people

or the First Amendment to the US Constitution

how far we’ve fallen

A tweet quoting JD Vance defending Trump’s post depicting himself as Jesus as a joke, with a Fox News screenshot of Vance speaking and a chyron about a “controversial post.”

It's Schrödinger’s joke: It only decides to be a joke when you open the box to ask why Trump said it.

Acetaminophen Exposure During Pregnancy and the Risk of Autism in Offspring This cohort study evaluates the potential association between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and risk of autism in Danish national registers.

In another massive data set of more than 1.5 million children ‌born between 1997 and 2022, the use of Tylenol during pregnancy was NOT associated with autism, even after accounting for ​individual risk factors. Autism was diagnosed in 1.8% of children exposed to Tylenol and 3% of the unexposed group.

The hottest people in the world are kind, accepting, and competent.

I don't make the rules.

How about we pray for THEM! That’s what would be needed for their safety if I couldn’t have caffeine.

Glad you’re feeling better.

Necklace described above.

Close up of clasp on necklace described above.

A necklace I made for my mom circa 2005.
Sterling silver, red aventurine, and tumbled turquoise. Each link individually wire wrapped with a handmade clasp (Desperately needs cleaning).
I recently received from my dad all of the jewelry that I made for my mom and this is one of those pieces.

Map of Missouri, USA with larger cities marked and a star where Cowgill is located.

Don’t know if you take recommendations but that’s about the only way you’d find Cowgill, Missouri where, when last I checked, all the side streets were gravel and the most happening business was a Pepsi machine on someone’s front porch.

Yum!!!!

I once got a wasp up the back of my shirt and pulled that sucker off, flashing my dad braless. I’m allergic so an EpiPen was also involved, making it extra uncomfortable.

Bumblebees are not kind!!!! They are aggressive and their stings feel like someone just stabbed you with a poisoned finishing nail. Hopefully, when the excitement was over you were unharmed by the bee and your efforts to get rid of it.

Eastern Copperhead Snake

Also, fortunately, our most common danger-noodles are Eastern Copperheads and they are often blendy in the outdoors but easily identifiable once spotted.

Western Terrestrial Garter Snake

Yes. Thank goodness. A Western Terrestrial Garter Snake

I once saw a snake in my house… and lost it. It might be under the couch now for all the fuck I know. I fortunately was able to identify the species before it disappeared under a china hutch.

I would edit this to say “If you heard anything bad about me AND you believe all that shit without asking me, leave me the fuck alone.”

Yes. I have peed in my front yard when I had to. Perils of a one bathroom household. 🤣

🤣😂🤣 a towel. I live in the country.

Yes. The right ring toe.
The frog did survive and was rinsed and released into the wilds of the front yard after I finished my shower. 🤣

I just sent this to my therapist.

SMH. I’m sorry and ashamed. That’s all I can even fucking say. They are, unfortunately, our problem. They SHOULD NOT be anyone else’s.

My head may explode but here we are…

With a gif… how is your weather?

Two things:
1. My very first anaphylactic reaction was to a sting on the same toe; and
2. Last year, a tree frog somehow made it into my shower and jumped on me while I was washing my hair and I lost my ever loving shit with my eyes closed and my head soapy.
