We jumped on the chicken bandwagon a year ago. I wrote about it for @northforker1 Check it out for important tips and advice, such as how to host a kid birthday party and chicken funeral on the same day in a pandemic! 🄓 northforker.com/2021/04/ever…

okay hear me out what if i'm a writer who reads extensively but doesn't fucking write at all
Is this permission to keep procrastinating? Asking for a friend.
Super profesh moments in time as a reporter working from home: leaving a voicemail for a police chief while your kids rapid fire squeeze your dog’s squeaky toy in the background 🫠🫠 #dayattheoffice
I don’t know how to make memes, but the mother bear is me working from home in the summer with my kids out of school, and the ever increasing lineup of cars are all the stories I’m supposed to be filing….. šŸ†˜šŸ«

Also, I know that camps exist, but they cost so.much.money.
Can we trade the sharks for some sea lions?
A group of people were chased by two Sea Lions at a beach in the La Jolla area of San Diego. Lifeguards were on standby in the water ensuring no one was hurt and the sea lions could easily make their way. It's recommended people stay at least 50 ft away from sea lions. šŸ“¹: Charli
These sharks need to back the F off. I have more than enough to worry about in the year of our Lord 2022.
The way kids dress for prom these days, it’s like they don’t understand that the whole point is to be able to look back at the photos in 20 years and be horrified at the fashion choices you made.

Like, might I suggest a powder blue satin halter top nightmare that clings to your body and highlights every minor imperfection, suede kitten heels, a French twist with tendrils, iridescent lip gloss, and, the piece de resistance, thick white eyeliner?

A reminder that in Texas K-12 students are banned from being taught the #1619 project, but an 18-year-old can purchase multiple assault weapons.

Two things I’m very good at: estimating the word count of an article I’ve written, and the dollar amount of a cart full of Costco goods. I’m disturbingly close on my estimates every time. My life is quite a thrill ride.
I am ready to fight anyone trying to defend spring, aka, the worst season. The lack of warmth until the end, (preceded by endless rain), the ticks, the pollen. Don’t come at me with ideas of hope and new beginnings. It’s a coating of pollen dust and fear of tick-borne illness.
9-yr-old son: It’s called WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS. It’s about this boy and his two red dogs. It’s a fun story! I have two chapters left. Don’t tell me how it ends!

Nothing will make you feel more like a real profesh journalist than having your kid scream ā€œCAN YOU WIPE ME?!ā€at the top of their lungs while you’re conducting a phone interview. 🫠 #dayattheoffice

News flash: If you outlaw abortions, ban mask mandates, dictate what educators can teach in schools, and stop people from voting, you're not the party of "limited government."

I truly envy the old white men who roll into the Quogue Library on Sunday afternoons just to sit in the plush chairs and read the Washington Post and Daily News.

Retirements accounts flush, yards immaculately landscaped by someone they paid to do it. Life’s a dream and they’re living it. I don’t want to come back as a hot 20 year old living a thrilling life, I just want to be one of these dudes.
Shout out to the lady interviewed on this morning’s The Daily pod who, when asked to share her thoughts about waiting on a long line for a Covid test said, simply ā€œthis is stupid.ā€ Sums it up, and the sad horn music the producers mixed in really added to the vibe.
Manta Rays who are absolutely done with this shit āœŒļø
