I came here to say this. You said it better. 

A world of yes. 🙌

When I’m in this situation, I ask myself this: What am I trying to create?

This is way too much real talk for having only one cup of coffee in me.  I may need to add some Bailey’s.  You are so spot on.

I’m not emotionally ready for The West Wing right now.  Too much goodness and common sense. It hurts.

Yesssss!

A little mouse ate it all. 😬🤣

I would also like to eat those. 

Deeeeelicious!

Thanks! My mom grew the basil in her hydroponic garden. Soooo delicious.

Snack thread!

I feel like you’re on to something. Also, a lot of the alterations women look for trend super dudebro-esque. Boobs that are out-sized vs right-sized, etc. Slim that waist to a pleasing V.

Wow! Good for her! You know, a year ago, I might not have believed that. I might have been like, “Well, that is just the way the world is.” I worked in global financial firms for 20 years and I just moved to a regional bank about 18 months ago. The difference in my life unbelievable. I don’t have the constant pressure…

The way she laughed when asked about the meat grinder had so much subtext. She was laughing at the idea like, “Oh my gosh, you would think, right? Turns out you can’t even get a hand through there! Ugh lol!” She’s a cheerful murderer.  It lights her up.  I guess I admire people who love their work?

I’m seriously considering parting ways with this country after this. Partly because of the abyss, and partly because there’s a non-trivial amount of folks who love that abyss and their greatest joy is watching others fall into it - especially if those that slip are black or brown.  It’s exhausting and it’s a tough…
