Hubs has been on a business trip for the last couple of days, and I've been staying alone for basically the first time ever. I've found myself going feral with no supervision, staying up very late, only putting on clothes when absolutely necessary, debating about whether shaving my legs is necessary, just eating meals that consist of random things I find. I've always been amused at my Gran who has lived a life exactly how she's pleased for so long, that her schedule is hilarious. Once on vacation with her, she got up to have Midnight Salad, and she was just overall frustrated that we were trying to sleep instead of watching 2 am Jeopardy. I guess, if left to my own devices, I'm more like her than I thought.

Why do these rich Silicon Valley dudes always talk about getting up when it's still dark, like it's some kind of great virtue?

Truth is not an echo chamber, accepting other people who aren't hurting anyone just by existing isn't an echo chamber, kindness isn't an echo chamber.

I don't need to consider "alternate beliefs" that are just lies. There's this idea that if I'm not constantly reading stuff by straight up Nazis, that I won't understand that they are Nazis. Not having to read nonsense as possible facts is one of the really cool things about having critical thinking skills.

The idea that Mastodon is an echo chamber is crazy anyway. I am more informed here than I ever was on Twitter. People rarely just state opinions, they back them up, and as a frequent poster, I promise you that if you do post something without a link to back it up, someone will ask for one.

What is your favorite way to show love? I don't mean like giant shows of affection or love languages, just what are the small every day things you do?

This guy put this so eloquently:

"I would like a government that is led by people who have a humane vision of the future."

"Weak men create hard times."

Slams on my brakes.

Sometimes after a long day in Antler Pass, Moose Cop lights a cig, and knows the only difference between him, and the people he puts behind bars is his badge.

My Brother: What do they call those Catholic Glory Holes?

His BF: Are you talking about CONFESSIONALS?!

We had my brother's birthday party today, and my birthday candle set up looks like a shrine to a forgotten god.

Today I've learned that my husband always wished he was an identical twin, so he could prank people.

Hey, it's supposed to be Science FICTION!

@MaryAustinBooks I keep reminding people of this, most mainstream media is not reliable, they want people to feel isolated and like nothing is being done.

I can't imagine learning English as a second language, I barely understand it as a first language.

Why does W have different rules than other letters?

Say these to yourself:

Fork
Cork
Work

Harp
Tarp
Warp

Cord
Lord
Word

Fonder
Ponder
Wonder

People captured by ICE, are not being sent "home", they are being detained, why?

The For Profit prison system has contracts with the US government worth 100's of millions, they are currently doubling bed capacity as we speak. They were major contributors to the Trump campaign, as always, it's greed.

...So, it turned out being a Disruptor was just rich white guys committing crimes all along.

If you asked someone to bring you a little treat, what things would be a little treat to you?
