@BowTiedKong @LisaLou Thanks for looking out for your fellow men. This made me smile.

Reminder to those that are single dads or know someone that is, especially the widows: We have a great group, single dad life, where you can ask questions etc My DMs are open, especially for the widows. There’s also a few guys I met on here that are widows and crushing it Can be a lonely road, especially at first, but you don’t have to go it alone We may not have your story, but I bet we know most of what you are going through

Dear California, Politicians want to overturn something YOU voted for and put into law years ago, because it’s inconvenient for the interests of their political party. Don’t let them BS you. Love and kisses, G.

Homeschool win. My kids taught each other their geometry lessons today so that I could get my kitchen cleaned.

🗓️ Today, May 4, is Pennsylvania's deadline to register to vote in the May 19 primary election. 💻 If you are eligible to vote, you can register or update your registration online until 11:59 p.m. tonight at vote.pa.gov/Register.

@RoxanneHoge @Sharpie @LACountyRRCC If they are able to vote in person at all, I think they’re allowed to surrender that ballot at the vote center and receive a new ballot to vote.

I don't want to shame anyone, but a person who lives in my house got the great idea to fill in their ballot using a @Sharpie. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Now, the reverse of the votes they made looks like this, with random (very neat) circles dotting the pages. @LACountyRRCC should they: 1. Request a new ballot somehow? 2. Mail it anyway, because it doesn't affect the count? 3. Spend the evening cleaning Sharpie marks off my kitchen counter, where they stood while diligently making their ballot?

Today Anthony Nolan Avalos would have turned 18 years old. Celebrate his life and birthday. ❤️ But also please honor his legacy. Fourteen days after Gabriel’s killers were sentenced, I got the tragic call regarding Anthony. After a 5-year journey, Anthony’s killers were also tried in court, convicted and ultimately sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Whenever any politician starts talking about getting rid of LWOP - please remember Anthony Avalos and all the children we have lost way too early. Years may pass, and I may someday retire, but wherever life takes me, I’ll never stop fighting for justice for Anthony. Anthony made me, my co-counsel, Saeed, my detectives, Adam and Omar, my child abuse pediatrician, Claudia, and my team better people. Anthony made me a better dad and a better prosecutor. He, his dad, his brothers & sisters, his grandma, his cousins, his aunts and uncles and his teacher, Harmony, will always and forever be in my heart and my life. My thoughts and prayers are with Anthony’s dad, his siblings, Rafael, Destiny and Junior, his family, friends and loved ones on his birthday. I will never forget holding Anthony’s sister’s hand during her victim impact in court when she said, “If I were to have known that this would end with me losing a brother, I would do it all over again with just one difference - that it would be me.” 😢 If you see abuse, always say something or actually do something to help a child. Get involved in your community. Pay attention to children in your neighborhood. Remember - all children are our future. Don’t remain silent. Don’t just ignore children in need - this includes teenagers! Oppose & speak out regarding any legislation out of Sacramento that fails to protect all children. The safety and well-being of all our children is everyone’s responsibility. Be the difference to save a child. Happy Heavenly Birthday Anthony! Roxanne and I will never forget you 🙏🏽❤️‍🩹

@rpyers Ah…the ancient ruins of the Wasco viaduct…

"There's a mile and a half of viaduct already built...Nobody's gonna walk away from that and just leave that there as if it's some ancient monument...we are way too far, way too deep in the water...Do we need to make further commitments from the state coffers? Probably..."

@laurenhtexas Congratulations. You worked incredibly hard and it’s so nice to see you so excited and confident. 😊👑

If you told me 2.5 years ago when I started my fitness journey that I’d lose over 100lbs and become a certified group fitness instructor, there’s no way I would’ve believed you. Very proud of myself for changing my life & taking on a challenge I didn’t know I was capable of

@SeanTrende @bellisaurius I block out a lot of unpleasantness, so I’ve had a couple of exes call me only to discover I don’t remember going out with them at all.

@bellisaurius @ElectionBabe The opposite of hate isn’t love it is apathy. Sometimes getting the hate reaction is all broken people want, to know that they mean something to someone, somewhere.

I’ve got zero chill when it comes to ex boyfriends who slide into my DMs after 15 years. Especially when the last thing he said to me was “I’m sorry, but I need someone who has a future.” The future wasn’t as kind to him as he expected. Neither was I.

@SeanTrende @bellisaurius Eh, if someone disappears on me, they kind of don’t exist for me. I don’t hate anyone, I just figure they made their decision, it wasn’t me, and if the phone’s not ringing, it’s them not calling, so move forward.

@AvrahamAdler I didn’t say I was a huge B52s fan, it’s just that they’re unintentionally manifesting my writing. It’s weird.

@ElectionBabe My apologies but I detest the B52s. The only song of theirs which is even remotely listenable is “Roam”. De gustibus non est disputandum 😄

Why does my stupid romance novel insist on being written?

@AvrahamAdler Or the B52s. I did not realize just how many of their songs track perfectly with certain plot arcs.

@ElectionBabe Demonic possession?

Don’t play me. I’m not your cassette

Update: She crushed these at 1:38am and declared them the perfect end to a wonderful day. Girldadding achievement, unlocked!

@Gre1220Green 😁

@ElectionBabe Are you stealing the men or their hoodies? No shame either way

Just watch…I’ll be sent to hell and instead of nice warm brimstone and fire, it’s going to be freezing cold, the AC runs inside all day, and there will be no men with hoodies that I can steal.

Just because, a re-up of me writing what is ostesibly about RC Cola but is really about the things you can't pass on, or replicate, or even fully understand until they are gone. medium.com/yonder-and-hom…

@octal *waves*

Weird intersection but are there any tech entrepreneurs/angels/etc. who are really into ice hockey (playing, more so, but also the sport generally)?

In the '60s and '70s, one of the biggest producers of drug paraphernalia and trippy blacklight art was the Houston Blacklight & Poster Company. I wrote about its history and influence and the importance of saving artifacts like these: chron.com/culture/articl…
