I will gladly drink anything branded “Military Special” over that shit. IYKYK.

Also, I swear I’ll give it the bird when I pass by in the Class Six.

I’ll have to read it! We just moved to NorCal and joined our local library, so I’m sure I can find it there! If not, the Libby app!

My husband and I did the drive to Reno over Halloween weekend, and we went over Donner Pass.

Lemme tell you if you’ve never been, that section of the US is breathtakingly beautiful, but I could ALSO see how it is devastatingly, oppressively terrifying. And that was even with clear roads and little mountain towns sprinkled around. I got chills thinking about if there was nothing except chest deep snow, dying fires, and blankets to keep warm.

Ooohhh never played 2, but I do get nostalgic for the OG every now and then! I’ll have to get this ASAP for cozy winter gaming!

Its SO crazy how much went wrong with that pioneer train. Murders and deaths even before they hit Hastings Cutoff.

The Donner Party.

It’s inexplicably like my “Roman Empire” for dudes. I think about that tragedy near weekly.

Idk, after Tuesday, I started to get a little hopeful for the 2026 midterms. If we can keep up the same energy, we can massively slow down this fucking crazy train long enough to course correct or at the very least kick the can down the road (and hopefully use that time to install better minority protections/progressive policies)

But if we fuck up the 2026 mid terms? Oh yeah. Democracy in America is fucking DONE.

Truth. 3 years ago my “New Years Resolution” was to floss every day.

I knew I was going to have to make it obscenely easy to do in order for me to stick with it.

I do a suuuuuper quick run through every morning with a disposable pick BEFORE I brush, and my annual dental visits since have been night and day. I really don’t even have to try very hard and my gums don’t bleed anymore either!

Its about taking better care of your mouth - not perfect care.

Holy shit, I’m not religious at all, but 5 year old u/potoooooooo is the CUTEST fucking thing.

Ugh, children really are innocent/wholesome, and its the adults around them that inject poisonous ass ideas into their minds.
