Nic cage is probably one of my favorite actors because he overacts in a way that I find very entertaining.

David Schwimmer looks exactly like a shorter, darker haired version of my brother.

And now I’m confused about whether I actually love Nic Cage or if I miss my very goofy brother lol

Just don’t enter any water drinking contests and you’ll be fine!

Birth centers are incredibly common now. And home births are preferred among certain people, like anti-vaxers and sovereign citizens

Omg, look how much she’s filled out! I think I’ve missed a few of your posts, Sandy looks so healthy and happy!

Seriously, he does not have a single clue what he’s marching the US into. That’s going to be incredibly messy at best

Appreciate the writeup, I hope it helps someone.

I do have a meaningful life, I just move to different cities and states often. In less than a year I’ll be on a different continent, and I’ll likely be moving after three years again

I have two friends who recently graduated with electrical engineering degrees, and they can’t find work where they live. If you’re able to apply across the country and move, that may give you better results, but they are both now looking for jobs outside of their degree focus. One is actually doing IT for the university he earned his EE BS from, but there’s no opportunity for growth there because it’s an incredibly tiny school and community.

It’s been over a decade since I worked in tech, but experience was king. I’m earning a degree in biology now, because by the time I left Microsoft I knew how easy it would be to automate my job

As a fellow flat-footed human that prefers putting weight on one foot, you might need to get over-protonation insoles. I’ve found they really force me to put weight on both feet and they do protect your ankles as well. I have been happy with PowerStep Maxx in the past, but it’s been a couple years since I purchased new ones.

I’ve also been told by a podiatrist to get Hoka shoes, but that’s outside my price range lol

I always hate the entire Thanksgiving-xmas span of the year because it’s very much advertised as a family time. I’m not saying I’m miserable going through life alone, but it does make me somewhat bitter that American culture shoves what I never had in my face annually

White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said that complaints about the strikes were an effort to “distract” from the ongoing government shutdown.

We can be angry about multiple things at once, like the Trump admin killing random people in boats, and the Trump admin disappearing thousands of immigrants, and the Trump admin pressuring congress to avoid negotiating lower Healthcare costs, and…

“forest spirit in autumn” I wrapped some silk flowers and leaves onto a headband with suede cord, glued pieces of the remainder to my face and body, and wore flowy clothes that I already own.

Cost: $5.88

To be fair that isnt far from what happens when a celiac-haver makes contact with gluten

He put his hand on my lower back after puberty, where before he’d just hold my hand. I should probably have clarified that. My dad was not an affectionate man.

This was also in the early 00s when purity balls were common, so having attended one of those I definitely feel like his hand placement was possesive

My mother did not. My father may have, but what I remember is when I was older and he started putting his hand on my back when we were out together. That was weird and possesive

My parents did not love me lol

Definitely looks like it

Sorry, too busy trying to not be disabled

I met a man in Utah that was homeless by choice, but he called himself a nomad. He was pretty happy with his situation, and I imagine he wouldn’t survive a detention center

Yes

Bill Gates knows better than most that there’s enough money in the world to try and tackle both climate change and poverty, and still leave him a billionaire.

I think the wording that really bugs me in his quote is “healthy and productive life”. If all the alarms are true we’re already fucked on climate, so he’s concerned about maintaining a labor force.

I always thought that part of the song was about domestic violence, and she’s covering up bruises. I guess it could also be covering up injection bruises
