it's unfortunate that i can't self love myself out of not wanting to be in a romantic relationship. we do not live for romantic relationships , I love my life and my friends. however, I'm only human. i long to have a companion, someone to grow old with.

@thehicklife Happy St. Gertrude’s day to my fellow cat-lady! 😸❤️

Good morning ☀️ 🤷‍♀️

The Original Cat Lady St. Gertrude of Nivelles is recognized as the patron saint of cats. She was a seventh-century abbess who founded the Abbey of Nivelles. (626-659) Her feast day is celebrated on March 17th. #StGertrudesDay

Don't forget that Saint Patrick is not the only saint whose feast day is March 17. It is also the feast of Saint Gertrude of Nivelles, the patron saint of cats and the people who love them. (Meme art from an original work by Carolee Clark, King of Mice Studios)

I do have to admit that reading my MRI report, the term “Supraspinatus tear” first drew my mind to something that Harry Potter would say while waving a wand! 🪄🧙🤔🩻

I deserve love. I deserve flowers. I deserve to be the only girl. I deserve to be spoken to softly. I deserve to be a priority. I deserve to be spoiled. I deserve to be protected. I deserve to feel beautiful. I deserve to be loved as much as I love.

I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize. Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness. Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding. He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history. The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future. A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite. That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

Marilyn Monroe — the woman who made presidents speechless, who stopped traffic simply by existing, whose face became synonymous with beauty itself — would likely be torn apart in comment sections today. Not because she wasn't extraordinary. She was. But because the definition of "beautiful" has quietly, systematically changed — and most of us never got a vote. Monroe had curves. Real, unedited, photographed-in-natural-light curves. An hourglass silhouette that was celebrated, desired, and considered the pinnacle of femininity in her era. Candid photographs show natural skin texture, softness, the kind of body that exists in the real world rather than on a retouched magazine cover. And yet she was considered — without debate — the most beautiful woman alive. Now fast-forward sixty years. The goalposts moved. Quietly at first, then faster. Thinner here. More toned there. Bigger in some places, smaller in others — and all of it smooth, symmetrical, and increasingly achievable only through filters, surgery, or digital manipulation. The "ideal" stopped being a person and became a composite. An algorithm. A moving target designed so that no one ever quite reaches it. And women have been running toward it ever since. The most painful part? Most of us know this on an intellectual level. We understand that what we see in advertisements is manufactured. We know that lighting, angles, editing, and enhancement are doing much of the heavy lifting. We know it — and somehow, it still works. We still look in the mirror and find ourselves measuring what we see against something that was never real to begin with. Here is what Marilyn's legacy quietly asks us: What if we decided we were already enough? Not as a trend. Not as a hashtag. But as a genuine, daily, quiet act of resistance against a machine that profits from our insecurity. Beauty has never had one shape. History proves it. Every era celebrated something different — and in every era, real women with real bodies were living full, magnetic, powerful lives regardless of whether they fit the current mold. You are not before and after. You are not a problem to be solved. You are already the whole story. via The Curiosity Curator #FeministFriday #MarilynMonroe

You weren’t ready to love, and I wasn’t ready to be hurt.

Okay but this is officially the best hiring story ever. A company in Mexico rescued an orange stray cat and decided not only to keep him… but to hire him. They named him Engineer Miauricio and gave him the title of Emotional Support Director. His responsibilities include smiling at coworkers, gently meowing, and walking around the office making everyone’s day better.

Yes 😞💔

@EastGlacierMT @MTumarkin Mindy got her belated birthday present- a gift card to my restaurant.

@snackattacklady @MTumarkin What did I miss?

@snackattacklady THANK YOU!!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗. I'll take a ride within the next few weekends.

To my soulmate, Tell me when you’re ready because I want to come home.

@Mr_Husky1 Cuckoo clock chain weights

Nope, not ornaments. My friend is going through the house where her grandma and aunt lived their whole lives and finding weird stuff. Apparently these are solid and very heavy; too heavy to hang on a tree. What are they

@ronsterd89 Bacon grease, or ham bouillon are inexpensive additions.

What can I put in canned green beans to improve their flavor? I hate them, but we're on a budget and have plenty of them.
