Drop something pink

Heard today on NPR: “Mental health is holy” This is probably a true word than most of what is spoken on k-love or other Christian radio stations

I don’t want to go to the gym, but I’m doing it anyway. Does it defeat the purpose if I reward myself with pizza?

Does anyone own a soda stream and have a positive experience with it?

Is anyone up for some mario kart this Sunday night?

I know the gospel coalition is bad & I should unsubscribe from their email. I do occasionally open it & read it to see what evangelicals are talking about with hopes that they aren't as unhinged as they are conveying themselves, but every single time without fail they prove themselves to be WORSE

I'm trying to come to grips with the fact that I can't do it all and that totally feels so unfair!

Good morning friends! Here’s a seascape weaving to start the day! $75 base price + shipping. This piece is currently living at my parents’ house so I don’t have exact dimensions but roughly: 9” wide, 22” long, on a 10” dowel. Comment “SOLD” to claim, and I’ll DM you! Or, please share!

The hardest mornings to get out of bed are the ones where my cat climbs into bed and wants belly rubs and chooses to snuggle

Outfit of the day! This sweater doesn’t usually look so tight on me. Posting such an unflattering selfie is a monumental feat of self-love. IDK, might delete later…

This whole p@tri@rchy h@nn@h thing is giving Manti Te'o vibes

With the niche formerTwitter friends topic at hand... I'm me, Banjo isn't my name (but it's not hard to find out) and I'm actually not a 6'6 guard from North Carolina.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

New verse!

Unfortunately I can’t write a bridge like Taylor swift and I have a needy nine year old in my midst

This week a friend made the really brave decision to seek some long term medical care. For several weeks, I will be caring for her kids as she works towards healing. I could use some help with some basics for them. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

We have the term doomscrolling, but is there a term for when you hold your phone and look at it, don’t scroll (sometimes you might not even have an app open) but you forgot what you were going to do w/your phone and are too overwhelmed to doomscroll or do anything that could resemble productivity?
