I did a comedy show last night where the goal was to try something I'd never done before, and found myself digging up weird news stories fof commentary. Winner was "well then don't put that guy in charge of the guacamole!"

Shocked/not shocked that, after the new EO targeting the Institute of Museum and Library Services, our vendor partners are completely silent. This includes money that we spend directly with them in service to our communities. Where you at?

I'm not saying people should do this, but if there was mass vandalism of Teslas and thd insurance to own one skyrocketed, what then??? Of course no one should DO THAT

I'm willing to bet that no other US president has had so many articles written about how to talk to your children about them

Disburse funds. Follow the actual law, which is love. Honor children for who they are. They do not have the numbers to stop you.

Trump’s β€˜Gender Ideology’ order creates a federal mandate defining gender as the sex of an embryo at conception.

Impacts: As all embryos have female sex characteristics at conception, all Americans are now defined as female under this order. (3/3)

All horrifying politics aside, last week was also a tough one at work, and I had a sick kid. Today is books and cats
