I was watching The Carol Burnett show last night and caught this gem about how not to offend anyone with a comedy sketch... 😂

My dad and I have been working on making cutting boards. It's just a little side job we’re hoping brings in a few bucks here and there. So, I'm asking if anyone would pay $100 for one of these? It's made of maple, oak, and walnut. Breadboards are 100% walnut but sell for less.

So, one of my passions is writing. Fiction. I've had a book idea swimming in my head and another I finished but need to edit.

I thought the best way to get the creative juices flowing was to write a few short stories.

I've put a few of them up on a WordPress blog and I thought I'd share.

dawnsfiction.wordpress.com

I'll update it every time I write a new one. Which I'm trying to do daily via a sentence generator.

And hopefully that'll get me into writing a bigger story again!

First off, I typed this up before I just wrote it. I didn't want to miss anything, so it'll get it tooted out pretty quickly. Anyway:

Many were sharing their stories about drugs, etc. I only mentioned my brother was an addict and the drugs took his life. I thought I’d share the whole story.

First off, this December will be 16 years since my brother died. He was 27.

(Update: It will now be 17 years this December.)

So, I've been doing martial arts since I was 8. I started in Tae Kwon Do, but made it all the way to Brown Sr., one step away from black belt. But the school didn't do me any favors. They never told me in order to test for black, I had to know all the previous belt levels. I became fustrated and left. I was probably 12/13 years old.

We moved to another part of Maryland and I started up with another school. Again, I got one step before black belt when my social anxiety hit.

You mean that light-skinned woman with European features and mostly blonde dreadlocks? Oh, yeah, that black equestrian. Obviously the bigoted helmet manufacturers are holding out just to spite her.

Milk it for all it's worth, NYT.

Helmets should be snug... but who cares! let's defy logic and wear a helmet as big as your hairdo 🤦‍♀️

Let's not be "ponytailphobic," let's cut a hole on helmets for high ponytails.

@realchrisrufo: "It's a sign of immense progress that, in the search for racism, publications like the New York Times have to invent increasingly niche and implausible incidents of supposed bigotry, such as 'woman with large dreadlocks has trouble finding equestrian helmet.' [screenshot]"

@YoungBlood
President Trump's TS Post on the Conway divorce:

Congratulations to Kellyanne Conway on her DIVORCE from her wacko husband, Mr. Kellyanne Conway. Free at last, she has finally gotten rid of the disgusting albatross around her neck. She is a great person, and will now be free to lead the kind of life that she deserves…and it will be a great life without the extremely unattractive loser by her side!

I took the first sentence as implying that not being "cisgender" and/or assigned female at birth could reduce the risk.

"Uh, before you assign your child female, you might want to read this article. Precautionary principle, people."

"Walmart said they are closing the stores because they were not meeting financial expectations."

Safest way to explain that they are being robbed constantly, their insurance rates are skyrocketing, and doing business in this area is detrimental to their business.

C'est la vie.

"The last two Walmart stores within Portland’s city limits will be closing later this month, the company announced."

They haven't started the "the Presidency is just too big a job for one man" thing again, have they?

The risk decreases dramatically, I'm sure, if you aren't "assigned a uterus" at birth.

Well, parts of Memphis, anyway...

@Oilfield_Rando: "Tennessee Republicans could reduce the state’s murders by 68% if they launched Memphis into space

>@GavinNewsom: 'Tennessee has the 8th highest murder rate in the nation.

It ranks 44th among states for health outcomes.

And this is what the Governor is focused on.
