It's me. I'm that ghost. Or I will be one day.

eBay is my oldest, not sure when exactly, 2001-2002-2003 something like that.

Next is my Something Awful forums account from 2005.

Ditto. It was totally worth it, I loved my mirena. But yeah it turns out you can pass out from the pain of having your cervix tugged on, and my doctor told me to quit being so hysterical. Like I was making a choice to lose consciousness for the fun of it.

I didn't even get ibuprofen, I just got some mifepristone in advance that does not treat pain at all.

Traffic Jam.

It's got a bunch of different berries and rhubarb sometimes. Slovacacek's on I35 outside Waco makes the best.

Clytemnestra. Agamemnon sacrificed their daughter, disappeared to war for 10 years, shows back up with a sex slave and is just revered as a hero. Fuck that guy. I'm glad she killed him. He deserved it.

I'm moving into a retirement community. Get in there early enough and they have to take care of you until you die. But before that point, retirement communities are like dorms without having to worry about grades or getting pregnant. Lotta syphilis, though, I hear.

Like I said, it's about viewership, and the UK brings very little of that compared to the US, Russia, and China.

If you really cared to see the best, you'd know who Simone Biles is. Everyone tunes in to see their guys win.

The competition between USA, Russia, and China is what gets people to tune in, really. With anyone of those countries not participating, viewership tanks, is my guess.

There's also the whole thing about eschewing politics. Traditionally wars were paused for the Olympics, but I'm pretty sure that's irrelevant today, especially when the US led a boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980 and then Russia boycotted the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. It's really about viewership.

Oh and the IOC is notoriously corrupt. If Russia pays to participate, the IOC will find every which way to let them, no matter how badly they cheat and genocide, same with the US and China.

I use Facebook for a few nonprofit pages I run. Its main perk is events organization. I also use Instagram for my nonprofits as well -- it's easy(ish) to cross post on both platforms while still respecting the individual audiences who consume content on each.

My mom deserves to be yelled at but she's incapable of introspection, so it's just a waste of breath. 75% of the time, husband does not deserve it. :/

Otherwise let's just say I'm texting this during my vape in the bathroom break! Slay it, queen!

Donating to just about any charity is a noble cause! I'd also suggest establishing scholarships with educational organizations you like and, depending on the size of your estate, consider endowments that ensure continued support to those organizations.

Just out of frame is a monstera I'm pretty proud of (my husband got one at the same time as me, and mine has exploded. His has...not died).
