A little laughter, a little rest …

If you’re a subscriber to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, you might have noticed there’s no column from me today on the Voices page. Every once in a while, I let someone else take my spot on the page and take the week off from writing the column, and this week’s legislative session opening on redistricting came at just the right time.

So even though I’m still working this week, I’m getting a little rest and decompressing (but don’t bring up those insane gerrymandered maps some in the Ledge have in mind; that will spoil my chill). And of course I’m amusing myself.

Enjoy some laughs with me on the weirdness of the last couple of years.

Join me in my weirdness, people! Image found on Parade.

Good Lord, how I wish this weren’t true. Image found on Pinterest.

Because … you’re a doody-head! (Yep, that’s about the level of discourse now.) Image found on Bored Panda.

Not saying this is me, but if this goes on much longer, I’ll lose the will to put up with other people at all. Image found on iHire.

This is why I’m really grateful I have a computer with a privacy shutter I have to physically move to employ the webcam. Audio only is the way to go! Image found on News18.

Get the damn shot and/or follow pandemic protocols so we can get back to at least semi-normal and health-care workers can get some rest, please. Image found on Bored Panda.
