Youngest son: “Hey, mom, did chocolate chip cookies exist when you were a kid?” Me: “Of course, how old do you think I am?!” Him: “Well, you WERE born in the 1900s”. 😒😵‍💫🫠 #kids #WTF #grandmamillenial

I was today years old when I found out Handball was a sport! 😳 Let’s go Sweden! 🇸🇪 #Olympics2024

My 8 year old son just said “I’m ready to do chores today, but man, life is hard.” 😂 Happy Sunday! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Happy Mother’s Day! Hope you got to sleep in and go to the bathroom without someone yelling “Mom!” 🫠 (I wish 😵‍💫)

This cast member recently wrapped a feature film in Prague but the last time we saw her she was being carted away by Detective Pfander for her hit & run "accident" when she hit Gina with her car. She's been sprung from jail! Welcome Back @RealNadiaB to @VeniceTheSeries S7.

Bill, you were an incredible talent & true gentleman. I am honored to have known you & worked with you. You were loved by so many, & my heart goes out to your amazing wife Susan & the entire Hayes family. Heaven is a little bit brighter now. ❤️❤️❤️ #RIPBillHayes @DaysHayes

When I was child I used to wonder why our gifts under the 🎄from 🎅🏼 always looked a mess. My mother said it’s because he’s REALLY old and his eyesight is bad. Made sense…I SO feel her now. 😂 Not everyone is talented at wrapping 🎁 . Anyway, Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!

Told my kids the Elf on the Shelf has to fly back to the North Pole every night to report back to Santa. My 6 year old says “Why doesn’t he just email him?” 😂🤷🏻‍♀️😬 #ElfOnTheShelf #Goodpoint

#BackToSchool kicks off as expected… Only in America. Our children deserve better… I hate my drawing but I had to draw it.

It is not normal to live like this

Aww…. I miss those “Days” when we could sing on the show. Good times. 🥰

💋

Yes, please. 😛

Sam and Aric gofund.me/6cc830df What an absolutely heartbreaking tragedy 😔

I mean… it’s a rough job, but someone’s gotta do it. 😏

2:Does paying for it now make you verify your drivers license, passport? Genuine question, I’m not “whining” about the $8, just want to know how they’re proving identities? Like, if I don’t pay can someone just pay & pretend again? I know I’m not THAT interesting, but still…🤷🏻‍♀️

Part1 :Serious question about the blue check mark thing: I only cared to have it because it proved it was really ME in early on twitter days. I couldn’t even register my own name because someone had claimed it & was tweeting awful things to people and pretending to be me.

The Nazi’s who murdered in excess of six million Jews during the Holocaust…did so, because they were given permission. The permission, in this case, came in the form or orders from their superior officers. Slave owners across this nation…..owned slaves….because they had been given permission. It was legal to purchase….and own…another human being; a black human being Those who committed the atrocities that occurred during the attempt to decimate and wipe out Native Americans….did so, because they had been given permission by the U.S. Government. In Kansas City, Missouri, 84 year old Andrew Lester-a white man-shot black teenager Ralph Yarl….because as Lester’s defense will argue….Missouri state law…gave him permission to do so. Missouri law not only allows a person to shoot someone who has unlawfully entered their home, but also allows the use of deadly force when someone is….attempting….to unlawfully enter their home. The state of Missouri grants this permission. Here’s where things get tricky…and, sickeningly, the reason why I think Andrew Lester will stand a pretty good chance of being acquitted by a Missouri jury: Lester says the teen had grabbed the door handle of the glass storm door that was between them. Ralph Yarl-the teenager-says he never touched the door handle. Thus, we have a true “his word against HIS word” scenario. If a jury believes that Ralph Yarl did grab the door handle, and, that Andrew Lester feared for his safety & life (and Lester claims that he did) then I suspect the permission that the Missouri Castle Doctrine provides….will stand. This is not a tweet about guns, per se. This is a tweet about the permissions that are often given, either explicitly or implicitly….in our society, and the unwanted consequences these permissions spawn. Florida starts with the “Don’t Say Gay” laws. Look at the implicit permissions that come with that. Is it easier for someone with hate in their heart to feel they now have permission to verbally abuse and harass those in the LGBTQ community? Oh, I think any reasonable person would say “Yes. It does.” What comes after that? Does seeing others experience no consequences for verbally attacking members of the LGTBQ community…..allow people to begin feeling as though they have now been give permission to physically threaten or harm those who are LGTBQ? I suspect I know your answer. When you substitute “permission” for “law” you begin get a clearer idea of how many people, choose to interpret the laws that are in place. They see them, not as “In the event of _______ it is legal to shoot” but as “In the event of _______ go ahead and shoot.” There is a big difference between the two. So, not only are some laws problematic by their very existence, but there are also laws that are problematic because of the other things they implicitly permit. I believe that in the case of Andrew Lester, he will claim that he understood the Missouri Castle Doctrine law to say “….go ahead and shoot”, and that Missouri jurors will return a verdict that reflects “Mr. Lester, that’s also what we heard. Not guilty.” I hope not. An acquittal of Andrew Lester would say to other Missourians-many that harbor deep hatred of people of color-“In the event of______go ahead and shoot.” The next “Ralph Yarl” won’t likely be lucky enough to survive.
