Some dude with a small candy company got an order from Senator Tom Cotton's office. So he refunded their money and sent them a box of rocks, because Tom Cotton and his staff don't deserve his delicious candy. Now he also sells rocks. 😂 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YreUX7/

As it is, I am nothing that I ought to be, and I certainly haven’t crossed my ugly nature. I am a fat, lonely, chronically ill forty-year-old woman, in a tumbledown rental house in a bad neighborhood, in a dying republic, on a planet burning to death. www.patheos.com/blogs/steelm...
