Post Lethargic Stress Disorder (PLSD) 

Similar to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), PLSD is a disorder that occurs when a human experiences a long period of lethargy (the person has done “nothing”) to then return to a stressful environment such as school or work. Usually accompanied by mild to dysfunctional depression and suicidal thoughts. Other known related symptoms are insomnia, tiredness, and emoness.
"After spring break, 203 people were diagnosed with Post Lethargic Stress Disorder (PLSD). Of these victims, 23 committed suicide the following Monday. The other 180 reported bouts of tiredness and a few reported cases of emoness.

'Yes, it is a growing concern, especially affecting people as young as 13 years old!' says Dr. Gibbons of the PLSD Research Facility of Orange County"

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
