The bartender is trying to convince everyone at the bar not to get vaccinated. She isn’t vaccinated her daughter because she got sick after her shot. And she has had COVID twice. Just reporting the news.
These are my people. And I ain’t gonna say jack nothing. All the ships have sailed. I got nothing to add.
“If it’s my time, take me Lord.” Everyone at the bar nods. “I am good with god.”

I am NOT good with god, which is why I get all the shots.
“My lungs still ain’t right.” Maybe because of having COVID twice but I’m not that kind of doctor.

I have gone outside.
She only got the first shot because of a work mandate. My takeaway is that mandates work.

In the 1990s there was a store called 5-7-9 that only sold clothes in sizes 5, 7 & 9. I just randomly remembered this at 1 am but also this is why all the women of a certain age hate everybody.
You cannot be an adult and still be proud to say you shopped at 579, y’all. You have to have a new accomplishment.
Many of these tweets have blown my ever-loving mind. I’m turning the tweet off because it is Takesgiving and I don’t feel like hating a bunch of people.

I desperately need a cowboy to take me away from all of this to a fake suburban ranch outside Nashville where I drink tea and write on my lunch break.

I’m have said this before but I was a different person then. It’s worth repeating my belief that you cannot game theory every political choice. “You” being a voter or a small community. It doesn’t matter if this is what Sinema wants. That’s unknowable. And it’s not a poker game.
I don’t know if this is the conversation that Sen Sinema wants us to have. And I suspect that you don’t know that either. I know that it is a conversation that should be had, based on the available facts in front of me. That’s all any of us can do.

There is a lot here. First, there is the Christian-washing of basic gentrification.

Look at this lingo. It’s thicker than an instagram capitalism hustle:
Redemptive enterprise. Wut.

(thank you!) And also, this is HORRIBLE. Look at that user flow.
I long ago decided that people who program a lot of our most ingrained technologies do not themselves have a lot of friends and demands. There is no way you would design this if your phone was buzzing every 10 seconds.
In a moment of oversharing: I dated a guy once who was obsessed with being busy. The only problem is that he...was not busy. Like ever. It was a constant tension point between us because I am VERY busy and very annoyed by it. He could not fathom my life & I couldn't fathom his.

Making them for myself. Practice run loading.
A truly pleasant way to spend an afternoon, however they turn out.
My eyeball measuring is a little wonky but then so are my eyes 🤷🏾‍♀️
