i keep seeing people say September starts soon but its not true. Don't listen to that nonsense

I have a laundry list of inappropriate things my hyna’s dumpster diving neighbor has said to us… All this to say: I am so happy she is moving out of there. Although part of me is intrigued by his ways.
Just mistyped ‘whatever’ as ‘shatever’ and was like, yeah, that works too.
Congratulations, @indyasfinch apublicspace.org/news/detail/an…
In my opinion Lordes career was doomed the second she insinuated herself to be hotter than Lord Jesus Christ

i was sooo sad last spring when i accidentally got the j&j bc i'd already driven to fairfield and the walmart there had run out of normal vaccines. but now i'm happy bc j&j was so bad they let us get the extra booster early. just goes to show no sorrow or joy lasts forever!
second pfizer booster made me a genius. just completed the wordle in two, quordle in seven, and semantle in 36 (unheard of)
