I found out a few Christmases ago that I really love gingerbread houses. I used to build scale models in grad school and got really into it. Gingerbread houses are like that but without grades or measuring. My weekend plans are to order trash pizza, put on Home Alone, drink some weed sodas, and decorate gingerbread houses til I’m too stoned to hold a piping bag.

I also love that it is cold and I can snuggle my husband to suck up his warmth and make him yell when I touch him with my cold toes. 😈

I’ve heard rumors that it was leaked by the GOP specifically to get him to drop out before it was too late, but he’s a stubborn Trumper, so I hope they’re enjoying the beast they created.

I wouldn’t say zero penalty; his poll numbers are shit. They were before the story leaked, but nobody seems to be Teflon the way Trump is. He’s possibly tanking North Carolina down ballot, and could even flip the state for Kamala. His political career is surely finished. It would have been before now if the GOP had their way, they tried really hard to get him to drop out.

That is accurate in a theoretical bubble, but in practice, in a two party system, in an incredibly close race, it’s simply not true.

By your own logic if A wins by 1 vote and you chose not to vote for your guy, B, you essentially gave your vote to A. Good job.

We live in a two party system. Not voting for your guy is essentially a vote for the other guy. Especially when elections are this close.

I definitely use more than I need. #Privileged

I look really young. Like I’m 40 but routinely pass for early 20s or even late teens if I do my makeup with that aim.

I get carded buying alcohol a lot. I hated it until I was about 27, and it really started to make me feel great! Especially once my gray hair started growing in (I dye it regularly so nobody really sees them, but I know they’re there). If all you’re trying to do is guess how old I am from how I look, I will love your answer.

But people often judge my experience or expertise as if I am only as old as I look when I am really twice that age. I hate when people assume I’m the office assistant or new hire when I’m the Assistant Director. I had physical therapy for several months due to a chronic shoulder injury, and the old ladies there loved to tell (not ask) me that physical therapy must be so easy for me as if my joints aren’t fucked and my pain and effort aren’t real. Still pisses me off so much.

And don’t get me started on the creepy old guys who see legal jail bait…eugh.

There’s not as many as you’d think, it’s just they’re all so loud and every single one of them has an eyesore of a cybertruck. It’s like confirmation bias.

Austin doesn’t want him either.

Lt. Gov Dan Patrick is on a crusade to end property taxes and replace them with…🤷‍♀️

Like I said, it’s about viewership, and the UK brings very little of that compared to the US, Russia, and China.

If you really cared to see the best, you’d know who Simone Biles is. Everyone tunes in to see their guys win.

The competition between USA, Russia, and China is what gets people to tune in, really. With anyone of those countries not participating, viewership tanks, is my guess.

There’s also the whole thing about eschewing politics. Traditionally wars were paused for the Olympics, but I’m pretty sure that’s irrelevant today, especially when the US led a boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980 and then Russia boycotted the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. It’s really about viewership.

Oh and the IOC is notoriously corrupt. If Russia pays to participate, the IOC will find every which way to let them, no matter how badly they cheat and genocide, same with the US and China.
