YouTube, man. Husband booked us a trip to the Star Wars hotel at Disney, and decided he and our son needed costumes. He taught himself to use it on YouTube.

He didn’t even ask me for help. “Oh, this lady on YouTube has been sewing for 30 years!” SO HAVE I!

My sister, who is a Millennial conservative, loves him.

I think he’s a “well, actually” guy with veneers.

My sister is the only conservative in our family. Her husband’s family are all conservative. My mom loves to push their buttons about Trump, I’m less willing to engage because I’m not going to change their minds, so why bother?

I was at my sister’s house while her MIL was there, and our mom was not there. I guess my sister and her MIL were feeling cheeky, so they started talking politics at me and asked if I believed in Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Yep, I believe he had a laptop.

Did I believe the photos were real?

Yep, that dude’s a moron and overall pretty crappy person. If he did something illegal, arrest him, prosecute him, fire him into the sun for all I care.

I have too much sense to follow that up with “… just like Trump and his kids”, and thankfully my niece came around to chat and the politics conversation ended.

I couldn’t figure out how to log on here with my other Fediverse creds. Rather than, like, Google or something? I just created new accounts for each instance. I’d say it’s a boon for anonymity, but I used the same username, soooo

Aw, I went to a jungle hotel in Central America that had capybaras on the grounds… never got to see one. They had a sloth sanctuary though and I got to see one of those slow bois.

Sloth facts: Sloths only poop every three weeks. When they poop, a moth that lives on them deposits its eggs into the sloth poop, and that’s how the eggs will hatch and the babies will go on to find their own sloth host!

Actually, if you read carefully, I think it’s his cousin, Pat Roberston.

Try martial arts.

Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy.

I say martial arts because it sounds like you’re having trouble being self-directed and finding motivation. I also have trouble being self-directed. I don’t go to the gym because I get there and I’m overwhelmed by the options and don’t know how to use the machines and get really self-conscious about everything. I don’t like outside sports because I live where it’s hot. Martial arts classes are set up to teach you in structured lessons, with instructors to plan what you’re gonna do and keep you motivated.

Plus, you get to hit stuff.
