I’m really big on Halloween. I decorate the interior of my classroom and my house (sometimes a little outside of my house like cobwebs over the gate and fencing and a tombstone or three, but we had painters working this year, so that stuff stayed in the garage).
My partner decorates hardcore for Christmas/Yuletide, but it’s all very secular and interior with just a wreath outside on our door, so it’s nice to not have to put up lights lol.
I don’t do any other holidays, tbh. My grandmother gave us so much stuff for Easter and 4th of July, but we don’t celebrate either.
We decorate for seasons, generally, and have like spring/summer/fall/winter decor, but that’s mainly just swapping out pillows on the couch and little flower arrangements or a few knick nacks. Some of the Easter stuff was useful for our spring decorations, and, thankfully, my aunt ended up snagging a bunch of the other Easter stuff because she has fond memories of those decorations when she was a child.
A lot of the other stuff that wasn’t trash worthy (most of the chintzy 4th of July stuff) was scooped up by others in a garage sale, so it was nice to see some other people enjoy those things.
My grandma has always loved setting up garage sales and she was super sweet to everyone who showed interest or bought her old decorations. It was really nice for her to see these keepsakes go to a new home and know that they were valued.
She’s mellowed a lot in the last ten or so years and I was a little surprised with how gung ho she was about throwing the cheaper stuff away lol she was acting like the amazing hostess she has always been and saying things like “This is my last garage sale, so only the nice things make it to the tables for sale!”
I know that’s kind of a tangent, but I really have enjoyed helping her downsize and move into a smaller space near my parents, and thought this story would probably apply to a lot of others’ experiences with family decorations and memories.
Edit: It was also pretty cute how my grandma was giving things away to people who really liked things. She’s always done this, but this time seemed a little more special and personal for her. She had so much stuff that she made a decent amount on the furniture anyway, but that was definitely not the goal for any of us lol.
Bernie certainly had/has more support than young, white, college educated men. In 2016, so many people from different ages and walks of life were at the two of his rallies I attended and basically all the people I knew voting blue were more interested in Bernie that Hillary.
I see that he got shafted by media and the party more than he was not as popular.
“being”?
Honey, it already has been for a while.
I live in the US.
“I’m tired, boss… Mostly, I’m tired of people being ugly to each other. I’m tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There’s too much of it - it’s like pieces of glass in my head, all the time. Can you understand?”
I really appreciate your message and post. I think we all need to process and grieve and then move toward the fight. We need everyone.
I mean… I don’t want any harm coming to animals, so let’s leave the anonymous asshole’s pets alone.
I hope the person who did that suffers a debilitating setback that affects only them and those like them in the near future.
How’s that?
First off, “What are you doing in mah swamp?!”
Seriously, lol.
The two republicans mentioned in the article are for sure the two heads of that vomiting earthworm in the pic. The coffee analogy guy being the one vomiting his drivel of lead addled brainrot into an elementary school level take on broadband data caps and general economic theory.
Republicans are more like a cult.

FTFY
And agreed on all fronts.
Arguably THE space man, though.
I always thought this photo reminded me of the café scene in Inglorious Basterds.
A veritable who’s who of real life horror.
I definitely see him on the left side of this picture, but his public statements are mostly on the right side, I guess.
Dracula is just showing him da wey…
*FBI feverishly updating their watchlist
Lol
Yeah, I hate when I get catfished by nature.
“Rrrrraaaaawwwxanne!”
Yep, that tracks.
