Go watch @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social on @datelinenbc.bsky.social talk to her father and brother. Then tell anyone you know from NE Ohio in this era 1989-1990 to share this. Tell the FBI or the Bay Village Police who took Amy and killed her.

It is too much to have to explain the Hatch Act, Puerto Ricans are US Citizens, the Posse Comitatus Act and Balkan geography in one news cycle.

I’m going outside to do literally anything.

See y’all at dinner.

I’ve been staring at this for 15 minutes. Who writes this on a government website to NAME THE DEAD.

Yeah, quick question. What the FUCK. I’m trying to log in and do case management DOJ, not see weird ass political propaganda. God I hate it here.

How is a man who lets reporters and family into a classified Signal chat going to tell people I love and respect they’re subject to random polygraphs for “leaks”.

Take several seats.

Thanks YootyMom 🩵

One sharpens the mind for the other, if you think about it.

Eh fuck it. I have some rice and a Costco size bag of dried lentils. The dog has food. That’s who I care about here.

The urge of a Millennial raised by Boomers to write a strongly worded letter to the government.

“GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. YOU’RE MAKING MY FRIENDS SAD.”

Thee fuck did the National Park Service do to you? The USDA? Be so for fucking real right now.

The half not on anti-depressants? Raging alcoholism. The ones on anti-depressants? In recovery.

You telling us to “reach out” if we’re stressed? Inconsequential.

You’d have to show up and be in your office first.

Every time my agency has a meeting about mental health I want to flip a table. Bitch. Please. Half of us are on ADHD meds, that same half is ALSO on anti depressants it seems. 25% of us have to schedule our therapy around work and trainings. Everyone here is working through cPTSD.

I’m watching Perry Mason (yes really) and confirming iNaturalist identifications of moths and butterflies. Be careful what you wish for. 😂

I relate to this on a cellular level.

Well. It turns out my useable skills include: correctly identifying AI images, most home repairs, making roast chicken and completely forgetting what day it is. Cool. Cool. Cool.

What the fuck even is this day. I need to go home. Or a year sabbatical in the wilderness. Maybe both.

Every time I read the Wall Street Journal or Foreign Affairs lately, I get a stupid knot in my stomach.

The Beatles said it best:
“I read the news today, oh boy”

I wish sometimes I didn’t know how the events in those headlines directly affected people I care about.

Happy Birthday, James Meredith! #OTD in 1962, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered his admission, the 1st known Black student to Ole Miss. Four years later, he started his one-man March Against Fear, only to be shot by a white supremacist. Civil rights leaders joined him in finishing the march.

Josh, that’s the only time that phrase has been used in conjunction with “Ohio”. Generally those two things are mutually exclusive.

The sushi delivery guy must be happy with my commitment to rounding up my tip to the nearest dollar. This man just brought an order with an extra egg roll and a small treat for Jurassic Bark. Literal 70 some year old man who just nods and smiles at me and I’m ready to cry.

Nixon called Haldeman and Ehrlichman ‘two of the finest public servants it has been my privilege to know’

I almost yeeted the Gen Z hire into the sun because he tried to tell me Tupac lived through being shot. Not because he believes a conspiracy theory. Because he literally did not know.

What in the actual fuck.

💀💀💀

Yeah but they don’t share war plans with me. Also we’re all smart enough to use disappearing messages and NOT you know, commit fucking treason or something.

Ope.

Went to a five story used book store today on a mission. Almost cried because the owner had 4 copies of the out of print book I wanted. Owner is in his 80s and an absolute legend.

Fuckin accurate.

Fuck off. This is my emotional support kimchi.

The book “The Sum of All Fears” is my favorite Clancy novel. Completely separate note, of course.
