I’d like to thank my cat for sleeping through out rounds for #NSDA and not walking across my keyboard like she usually does. #nsdatx #wearespeechanddebate

@ask_aubry Continued eye strain can actually worsen vision over time. But sure, I’m gonna be dependent on glasses because I like not having headaches.

@OKWildlifeDept My great grandma was born in a dugout house near Hooker. Family reunions go on there

@ask_aubry Fruit flies. The study was on fruit flies.

@SCBrady @obiwormkenobi @IwriteOK Not sure I’m the most qualified, but ok. It will rock the neighborhood and break some windows, but I’ve never seen a house just disappear like that. Most home meth labs will leave part of the structure still standing. Also, ammonia burns yellow-green.

[Tonya Powers @Redheaddebate]

@IwriteOK Nah. I lived in Texas when the grid failed. My Midwestern ass had to counsel frightened teens on how to drive in that shit. No thanks.

[Tonya Powers @Redheaddebate]

@obiwormkenobi @IwriteOK I’ve seen meth labs explode. This wasn’t that.

I haven’t been to the DMV since my braces came off. All drivers license photos are ugly, but this one will have my 6k smile.

One of the most pittie things my pittie does is put the cat’s whole head in her mouth, but gently. They’re besties! #dogmom #pittie #catmom

@OfficiallyAlly Booktok is a wonderful place!

[Tonya Powers @Redheaddebate]

@OfficiallyAlly Ubrelvy and blue light glasses. Also, make sure your actual glasses script is up to date. Eye strain makes mine worse.

Update on our Aussie mix. She slipped her collar on our walk today and decided to greet the neighbors. We chased her for two miles. The 12 year old chihuahua was tired. I was tired. She wants to try again tomorrow.

[Tonya Powers @Redheaddebate]

Our Aussie/pit mix can open doors. I watched her let the cat into a room. None of our interior dogs have locks. Send help.

Moved across the country and started setting myself up in my new house. I put the bed frame together on my own because the fiancé is at work. Somebody congratulate me on adulting.

@LlamaMiaLetMeGo Upsetting, but not surprising

[Tonya Powers @Redheaddebate]

This week I actually heard a grown woman say “I’m gorgeous. I deserve an attractive man.” That’s not how this works. Also, you’re 30 and an alcoholic. You deserve therapy.

Apparently the kids found my account. Oh well. Turn in those papers, kids!

[Tonya Powers @Redheaddebate]

Saw a mom in the deodorant aisle at Walmart, clearly frustrated with her middle-school son. I walked a little closer because my stuff was in the next aisle. She’s trying not to yell while she tells him, “You have to pick one!” I nearly died laughing.

[Tonya Powers @Redheaddebate]

@kingdibbles At least she’s not shotgunning it

[Tonya Powers @Redheaddebate]

@kingdibbles Tell her that’s all she gets for the day. She’ll drink four if you let her

[Tonya Powers @Redheaddebate]

@kingdibbles What did my girl do now?
