This is basically the storyline of a new book I just read - The Canopy Keepers by Veronica Henry

Saw a guy in Walmart this morning with a American flag hat and tshirt that said "this is my pride flag" 😂

This is really interesting to think about. On my photography IG the one users who are still having good reach are the ones who are promoting their patreon/presets/editing services, are constantly trying to earn money in some way and are posting a million reels every day.

More casual photographers like me are getting zilch. I used to get 1000 likes on 95% of my stuff with some going viral. Now I get 200 if I'm lucky, my reach in general is in the hole and I refuse to spend hours editing reels and begging for the algorithms attention. I'm close to shutting it down but I help mod a page right now so I'm hanging on for a bit yet.

My 5 year old son LOVES pink and purple. Anytime he can find anything on those colors he's all in. He picked out a pink crayon box and purple lunch box for Kindergarten here soon and my mom (who was taking him shopping) called me to make sure I was OK with him picking those.

"Yes mom, I don't care if he picks out things in his favorite colors." 🙄

We LIVE by the timer with my 5 year old and he rarely throws tantrums anymore. Have a nice 20 minutes colored time that's super easy to see the time tick down and any transition we give him 5~ minutes notice.

There's a guy in my rural northern NY town with TWO confederate flags in the back of his big ass truck 🙄

My husbands 2009 Corolla finally needed replacing (couldn't pass inspection due to rusted frame) and he had the WORST time finding a car anywhere at the nearby dealerships. Everything was trucks and SUVs, finally he found one that had 3 cars and 1 mostly fit the price/criteria he wanted.

We're in the rural north east and the number of big ass trucks is insane, it's getting harder and harder to park between them all and I hate trying to get out of parking spaces when I can't see for shit around them.

My 5 year old is very big compared to my 5'1" 105 lbs. Honestly I could totally see a kid his size if they were deranged being able to do some serious damage to someone my size.

Damn I had forgotten about that! Huge memory unlocked

Ah damn I did that also...
