You know what I’ve been noticing at small businesses I frequent?
Many of them have started a 1-4% transaction charge for credit card purchases.
Yeah, you’ve always seen this a little, usually for minimum purchases. But in the last month I’ve seen it at at least 6 places. One that was now charging 4% is a place where it’s not uncommon for me to spend $200 at a time. At 4% that’s $8.
Inflation, tipping, service charges… y’all, I’m just gonna stay home & learn to cut my own hair.

Abusers sabotage birth control. They do this to control their partners. Having a baby with an abusers keeps you stuck with them (even if the relationship ends, they are still a parent you have to deal with). Losing access to abortion means many people are stuck in abusive situations because of reproductive coercion.

Incarcerated pregnant people are not treated well. It’s appalling. Many of them go into labor & give birth alone. That’s IF there are not complications. It could be worse.

Diet culture is wild because I remember once time in college listening to 2 dudes talk about being on Atkins…

1: im doing no carbs. No sugar. Nothing.
2: really? Wow. Sugar is like in everything. Even marinara sauce.
1: nope. No marinara. No pasta…
2: then what are you eating?
1: [pulls out giant bags of beef jerky & pork rinds from his backpack] well, this right here is all protein. So this. All week 💪

(Not a nutritionist, but I’m pretty sure it’s not all protein. Surely.)

Could you imagine your life if you worked in a glitter factory? ✨

I had a friend who thought she had conquered the laundry. When I would talk about having so much to wash or fold she stated that she, her kids, and husband simply didn’t wash their clothes. Pants would be worn until they were visibly dirty. Shirts could be worn until they smelled. Not sure her philosophy on socks/underwear or towels.

Look. Live your life. But please wash anything that touches your bare skin. Even towels. All the dead skin, swear, oils… just…

As mentioned in another post, a girl is coming to stay with us for a week while her mom is out of town. It’s so chaotic. Her mom never confirmed she was staying here & literally last night after 10 finally mentioned any of the details to me. It’s fine. I offered. I didn’t want the girl to keep missing school staying with family out of state. So I have to get my guest area ready today & get ready for Halloween & also be a sleepy baby all day.

Last night I found a Nintendo DS that has been missing for over 10 years. It didn’t even turn up when we moved.

Guess where it was…

Exactly where I thought it was the whole time. The couch cushions.

We had a couch with attached cushions & I knew it was in there somehow. I was moving the couch last night & heard a rattle. I immediately knew what it was. I said screw it & cut open the liner on the bottom finally found the DS.

Was talking to my mom earlier & apparently there is always drama at her work. She starts telling me about an incident & one of the players is a trans woman. But she didn’t say anything rude & used she/her pronouns & always referred to her as a girl/woman.

Just not what I was expecting 😮‍💨

Let me also just say that the tea was hot. Like all the drama. Sex, mystery, security cameras, vandalism, investigations, bullying, harassment, threats of violence, & eventually someone got fired.

Years ago my husband saw the Elf on a Shelf in a store & was like “wouldn’t this be fun” & I was like “no” & I stand by that decision.

Let me tell you an often overlooked reason why local elections matter.

Yes, local elections affect your day to day life more. ALSO many politicians start out in local elections. It may not matter where someone running for school board stands on [abortion, LGBT+, policing, etc], however, if you’re between 2 equally matched candidates, wouldn’t you rather start someone on the ladder who isn’t gonna fuck you over later?

So, I care how the guy running for dog catcher feels about lots of things.

I’m not in the market for a new job. But I do have a little time & pent up aggression on my hands so I’m thinking about putting in some applications & having some interviews & being absolute chaos on wheels.

It’ll be my gift to the kids. Maybe someone will stop asking dumb interview questions.

I had a dream that I had something stuck in my teeth & it ended up being a whole jumbo shrimp in my gums.

My husband tells me this was a Family Guy episode.

I have no recollection of this.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I just noticed the latest season of Call the Midwife is on Netflix & if you aren’t watching this show about nuns & midwives in post-war London what are you even doing with your life?

My favorite thing to do when I’m not in a hurry and someone behind me is honking about a green light is to actually come to a full stop for the yellow 💛
