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.

I’m finally coming to terms with with the election. And I was actually pleased with the results nationally. My state (WA) and local results are another story and unfortunately we’ll have a neo-progressive shill and his lapdog AG spending most of their time and our tax money suing the administration instead of like addressing public safety, homelessness, the ferry system, etc…So my state lurches farther left and conservative Republicans are having a pity party for themselves because people like me aren’t MAGA, oh well it sucks to suck I guess. The progressive left will continue to dominate local and state politics here until we pull our heads out of our asses. The politically homeless most likely have more things in common with conservatives here but ironically MAGA expects ideological purity quite similar to the illiberal progressives that run this place. I didn’t vote for Trump this time but I did vote for him in 2020, and I voted for HRC 2016, so I guess the key for me is not to vote for DJT and he’ll win. Brave new world coming soon and I’m keeping my powder dry.
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.

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.
