best thing about this election cycle is republicans losing and the second best thing is republicans trying to explain why

big shoutout to gen z and the parents of gen z who did not take them to hooters as children

Every Friday. Every Friday i either see this post or live in fear of seeing it. I can’t wake up and say ‘it’s friday’ anymore without thinking of this post. I am living a nightmare and it’s your fault

Thank Gnome it’s Friday! Lol

I feel weird about the way they phrase things. Like... 'labor shortage' and 'great resignation' kind of put the employers at the center, like they're the ones that are the victims.

Like... theres no shortage. We're not just resigning for the hell of it. It's a laborers rights movement. We're leaving shit situations behind because were humans with dignity and it's time we were treated like it.

Okay the WEIRDEST THING is going going down right now

So some guy in Michigan in the US has just found a letter in his grandmother’s house; it seems to be a pen pal letter from 1973ish, and it’s from a young Welsh girl. In it, she lists:

  • Her name, and the names of her brother (Gwynedd) and sister (Catrin)
  • Their ages
  • Where she lives in Wales (Denbigh)
  • Her hobbies, including horse riding and reading pony books.

So this American dude decides to take a photo, whack it on Twitter and ask the only Welsh person he knows if there’s any way to track this Welsh girl down, because you know, ALL WELSH PEOPLE KNOW EACH OTHER, OBVIOUSLY

Except

I am furious to report that it has worked

Welsh person he tags doesn’t know, but takes up the challenge. Someone reckons the Catrin might be a woman who translated a hymn book once, and checks the foreword to see that the dates and ages do seem to be about right. Someone else suddenly has a brainwave - wait, isn’t she the mother of Steff, the comedian?

My husband gets tagged, takes one look at this letter, and is like “That is 1000% my aunt.”

So now it’s 20 to midnight, Steff’s aunt has obviously not yet seen the excited message to put Twitter out of their misery, and my mother-in-law is currently on the phone gleefully telling us that when that letter was written her sister had never sat on a horse in her life before, and she’d lied to an American pen pal for clout before the internet even existed.

UPDATE: the aunt has confirmed. She has given no comment as yet on the horses.

UPDATE 2: Local Woman’s Family Cannot Stop Dragging Her
