A poem and a picture
WHOA! THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FRAUD.
GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility.

A two panel comic strip. Panel 1: A light gray human shape (like a thicc stick figure) labelled "THE WEALTHY ELITE" reaches greedily, mouth open in excitement, towards a large floating yellow ball that is labelled "A SECOND GILDED AGE" Panel 2: same as above, but behind the gray figure (who now has a sweat drop to indicate nervousness on its head) is a VERY large pink blob labelled "THE RETURN OF OUTLAW FOLL HEROES" with one arm wrapped around the gray figure, expression quietly threatening
Please tell me who first posted this so I can properly credit, bc it made me laugh hard this morning
Plans plans and more plans
Not looking forward to moving back into my apartment

My least favorite part of my day job is how I’ll be coming up with so many great lines and then, right when I’m about to write, BAM customer asks me a question
Goodbye goodbye great line
You vanish back to where you came from
Embarrased for you (in a community way)
Really coming down to the wire on this one.
Me at my dead end job:
Me with my bug infested apartment:
Me in a city I used to love:
“I should travel more.”
Update: I got kissed!
Oh shoot. I wrote a poem, gang.
