"You have to make time for family." Actually, I don't. Being related to me by blood/marriage doesn't mean I have to spend time with you. If the woman who accepts my packages at USPS knows more about me than you do, I owe you nothing.

Imagine being so misogynistic you don't want to watch a show ft a woman but you're married to a woman, have a sister & a mother (2 actually, one bio and one adoptive) and raising 2 daughters. Wild.

My uncle, while in a car with me, his youngest daughter, & his sister, proudly said he doesn't watch TV shows or movies with female leads.

Love watching conservatives scream "this is why you shouldn't vote democrat" when a white, male cop in a red state is given a ridiculously lenient sentence for sex crimes as if democrats are the ones known for showing extreme mercy to LEOs or white men who abuse children....

Can we normalize telling people "just put it on the porch when I text you to tell you I'm here so I don't have to go into your house and/or talk to you to pick up what I came for" because I don't hate you but I also don't want to chat.

You can always find that one person who 9 other people have tried to reason with and they just won't accept that they're wrong or take any advice, then here I come with absolutely nothing to lose.

There is only one upside to #animalrescue and it's that whenever you're in the mood for an argument, there's never a shortage of idiots for you to take it out on.

I planted 4 green onion roots in the summer of 2020 and forgot about them. Almost 3 years later they've multiplied and taken over 1/3 of the long-forgotten, overgrown vegetable garden. I now use this as proof that I'm not a plant killer. I'm just a tough love type of gardener.

Look, if you betray me in a dream and I tell you about it the next morning, I expect an apology or an "omg I would never." Idc how crazy you think I am, obviously my subconscious thinks you'd sacrifice me to save yourself in the zombie apocalypse and I need reassurance.

Just read an email. In the signature:

"I’m sending this now because it suits me, but I don’t expect that you will read, respond to, or act on it outside of your regular business hours. Let’s work together to stop glorifying overworking, and start celebrating work-life flow."

“oh so you want -your- tax dollars to pay for free school lunches?” literally yes. please take whatever is necessary to keep kids from going hungry. how the fuck is this controversial.

Honestly, unaliving her would have been less awful. #YouNetflix

What are some movies you can watch over and over again and not get sick of?

For me it's World War Z, Contagion, Bird Box, and Carriers. Is there a theme here? Absolutely.

In case anyone was unclear - a "gift" that causes the recipient stress or anxiety or adds more work to their life isn't actually a gift at all.

@AdriennePelz I mean, I guess I can see that *some* leftovers are the result of a bad meal, but in our house leftovers are exclusively because the person who cooked didn't properly proportion or because the people eating snacked too close to dinner.

@_katherinedyson DJ got us fallin in love - Usher (ok so not exactly a love song but...lol)

Someone on my hometown's FB group asked why there are no hotels nearby. The responses:

"For the same reason there aren't any trailer parks."

"We already have apartments and those brought more crime."

"Trailer parks and hotels would be bad for the town."

[Kelsey Castro @kelseyncastro]

@DanaGricken Yay! I tried several meds and different therapists, but since being on prozac, I've quite literally never felt better.

[Kelsey Castro @kelseyncastro]

The fact that people are seeing things like this and claiming "it's not discriminatory because it doesn't explicitly say you can deny people based on race, faith, etc" clearly don't understand history because this isn't even how it starts. This is how it ends.

TW & Spoiler

#TheLastOfUs defaulting to a lazy "let's make our villain a rapist bc it's the easiest way to show he's bad" rather than the many other ways they could have gone about it...

He was already eating people. You could have run with that instead.
