Coz tell me why I have to look at cobwebs but I’m gagging coughing choking wheezing on the synthetic fragrance doused in here?

It was a complex yet memorable day at Sequoia National Park. Nothing prepares you for how tiny you feel.

They forgot so quickly.

A screenshot from the Veggie Tales cartoon episode Rack, Shack, and Benny of the large bunny statue everyone was expected to praise and worship. It is a children’s version of the bible story of when King Nebuchadnezzer of Babylon built a statue of himself and forced all the hebrews to worship it, but some refused. All the Christians building golden statues of Trump to praise him sure forget bible stories like these rather quickly, but they find time to condemn and harass people Jesus told them to love.

One of my cousins gifted me a photo album of my life for my 40th birthday 🥹.

A photo album of my life starting with a handful of my baby pictures from 1986. There are some wonderfully frilly and colorful bay dresses that were typical in Mexican culture at the time. The more frills and huge bows the better!

My kids and I went to our city’s new renaissance faire. It’s small, but it’s in a great location and was free. Most enjoyably, a lot of people went all-out!! My personal favorite part was watching the faces of people in my town who had clearly NEVER been to a ren faire or cosplay environment.

A selfie of me at a local renaissance faire with my kids. I am wearing a marigold color dress in a renaissance costume style as well as a flower crown of yellow and orange marigolds. My kids’ faces have been blocked out for their privacy but they are wearing their costumes from a performance of Aladdin they were in.

Can’t even shop for furniture on Etsy anymore without wondering if you’ll get swindled by AI photos.

Searched reddit and no one had anything to say about this error message on an iPad, but anyone have any ideas? Disney+ keeps throwing this error message on my kids’ iPad. No reason to have HDMI cable errors🫠. The iPad JUST updated to the latest update for iOS 26.

An error message on an iPad for Disney+ that reads: Oh no
Disney+ has detected an HDCP issue. To try to resolve the issue, please try restarting your device. If the issue persists, try a different HDMI cable and/or bypass your stereo equipment by connecting the device directly to your TV.

If you search “how to watch the halftime show” you get TPUSA’s version on the first page of results. This is some technofascist BULLSHIT.

When searching for the real halftime show at the Super Bowl today featuring Bad Bunny, the only results come up for the idiotic TPUSA alternate show led by pedophilic lyricist Kid Rock.

Megyn Kelly’s well on her way😂

A headline that reads: Megyn Kelly questions whether Jeffrey Epstein's desire for "very young teen types" made him a pedophile
Kelly: "I think there is a difference. There's a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old." Which is of course true, the terminology is accurate. But we know these people didn’t give a crap about the specific difference in terms until yesterday.

A genuine win that my kids’ musical for this session is The Nightmare Before Christmas! Double duty costumes always😂💜.

The first night in Day of the Dead celebrations is when we remember our pets who have died💜. I still can’t find a photo of our first dog, our black lab Sam😭.

An ofrenda in progress for Dia de los Muertos celebrations decorated in three tiers with: a green, white, and black Mexican blanket, some painted calaveras (skulls) that are bright yellow featuring blue, green, magenta, and gold embellishments, a piece of art that depicts an ornate calavera made of dyed pieces of wheat, a marigold color crocheted mantle cloth, a photo of my old cat Muffy who was a champagne mink Siamese cat, and a photo of my old dog Sasha who was a Samoyed, and some candles.

Execs chose the limpest statement ever instead.

A screen shot of a statement by ABC and Disney regarding Jimmy Kimmel’s show being reinstated after their egregious capitulation to the authoritarian tactics by the Trump administration and violating of Jimmy Kimmel’s 1st amendment rights. The statement does nothing to address their complicity in this violation but perpetuates the weak, fascist view that Jimmy Kimmel somehow insulted a dead person when what he did was mock Trump and Trump deserved it. The statement reads: "Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country," Disney said in a statement. "It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday."

It is my opinion that these fascists are all trash.

Ok, well this is just lazy, blatant heresy😂. You nationalists are a MESS.

Nooooo, don’t start this now🫠. The NYPD is fully aware they’re a racist organization. They need zero apology.

A New York Times headline reads: Momdani says he will apologize for calling the N.Y.P.D. racist in 2020.

Mini getaway thanks to my husband working a big gig here👏🏼. Day drinking at the adults only pool is my prize for a stuuuuupid year.

I just neeeeeed to know who’s idea this was😅😭

A screenshot of a tiktok showing actor Hayden Christensen throwing the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs game, wearing the number 66 on his jersey. This is significant in as Christiansen played Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels. As his character descends to the dark side, Anakin participates in sometime called Order 66 in which all Jedi knights were assassinated, or at least attempted to be, across the universe at once.

We went to watch the Angel City FC vs San Diego Wave game last night and just, y’all, it was such a blast and the fans are wonderful!
