What, if anything, made you laugh in the past 24 hours. If nothing made you laugh, write about something that made you smile. If nothing made you laugh or smile—write about why.

Just a follow-up on this post as a lot of folks were worried it might have been them.
The two people involved had their own words about it—I’m not a nanny state so I’m going to let adults draw their boundaries and work things out on their own.
So unless you’ve been fighting with tons of people on here, it more than likely wasn’t you.
I posted this as a reminder about the ethos of our community after something I observed. As I’ve said in the comments, 99% of the interactions I see here are remarkable given the diversity of thought that exists in this space.
That one in particular bothered me because it was someone sharing something personal and they were met with a political opinion.
You guys and gals are all the best! I didn’t mean to make anyone paranoid. Just reminding us new and old that the heart of this place is our tenderness for one another.

Ladies and gents I can’t express how much supporting the people who advertise on #DumpsterFire supports us too. I absolutely ADORE this product and you get a free travel size Neurolux Peptide Cream with your order on top of your 20% off. If you want to try one thing the Cosmic Concentrate is DIVINE. #Skincare

This week on #FactorySettings @justjeren and I talk about the elephant in the room. MONEY! We talk about when we first became aware of it, how it affected our parents' divorces, how much we spent on our addiction, being dependent, financial insecurity and so much more!

Hello new followers, I hope I don’t disappoint you. I want this place to feel like home, where we can escape the Thunderdome and process the world. Where we can post dog pics and recipes and book recommendations. Where we support each other as we get sober, lose weight, embark on new business opportunities, creative endeavors, relationships and travels. I want this to be your oasis of sanity and laughter in an increasingly mad world. A creative outlet where you can share your spirit with us.
We might not have any control over the news cycle—but we can control our habits and attitude. It all starts with us. And hopefully a little piece of that will start here.

Bridget breaks down the meteoric rise and tragic fall of Oscar bait, and generally terrible film, Emilia Pérez.
Good morning
I am healing from the reconstruction surgery that happened a week ago but started two years ago
I don’t want to be weak and tired today
But I am
I am tired of persevering.
Nevertheless that is what I must do
If I have to be tired and foggy headed I should let go of the resentment and find out what wonders this day can hold

The writing prompts are back! And since everyone is talking about "what is a woman?" I thought we should dig into our Factory Settings and find out what we learned about this stuff.
