Can we stop the insanity that allows people to assume that in a country of school shootings, requiring locked doors to all schools, that some rando can show up at a place for kids & demand entrance is in any way reasonable or proof of anything? What is wrong with people? Racism. Xenophobia. Duh.

Earlier this week I was out at a bar but not drinking alcohol. It turns out that if you don’t drink the beers you’ll be the most parched. Anyway, a person got a round. They chose plain club soda; I chose plain water. I realized some people do in fact want their water with jazz hands. Not this guy.

Well, we are at the spot on the X Y axis where my age (old & hot) & temperature (set to cremate) have met that a loose, flowy dress is the only tolerable clothing option. This heat dome is for the birds. Who are sweltering.

Thank you Senator @smith.senate.gov for always doing the right thing!

Miasma theory?! Horrifying.

Friendly reminder that cities are not inherently dangerous. I’ve lived all of my 43 years in one and can report I’m just fine. Great, even. A wild notion for those who don’t live in cities but I’d argue I’m the actual subject matter expert in that debate.

Found myself pondering what Laura Ingalls Wilder of Little House on the Prairie who got her very own tin cup for a Christmas present so she didn’t have to share would think of us all with our never ending water bottles & jugs we tote around that even have decorations & their own purses. Wild.

He is so delusionally bonkers (I made my own word there but at least it isn’t covfefe)

Sometimes you have to be ok with ‘Cs get degrees’ if you’re 43 years old & return to get a second degree when you don’t have to but you want to & the class is absurdly hard but necessary towards the end goal. The Type A in me is STRUGGLING with that though

The interviews of the Prevost family are so heartwarming. I’m so touched by what feels like an example of what is good in this world - our love & care for one another & what binds us all together.

He lost me at H-V-A-C. Out of touch. It’s H-vac. You’d know if you actually knew anything about that work. If not, pipe down.

Keep it in the hoop. Or put it in a beautiful brass frame & you made your own decor!

From here on out, my kids will get one super special Christmas banana only. A real luxury of a treat.

So true. I’ve always wondered why my kids used that phrase specifically about an internet search

Tariffs are a regressive tax on the poor & middle class.

If I have $100 & you have $10,000 and the item in question now costs $15 instead of $10, it’s pretty obvious who feels it more.

Here we go again where I’m forced to FAFO just to benefit the rich.

Last semester I had an in-person group lab. And a young person I nicknamed Doogie Hauser who could whip through & get us in & out quick, assignment complete. This semester, I’m at home, no Doogie in sight, and it’s total bullshit. Takes FOREVER. It’s all so rude.

Thank you!

I hate the trend in cooking videos where ingredients are added from 6 stories above to fly all over the place, immediate cut to clean work surface, next. I’m not wasting any of my cheese by dropping it from above to have it fly all over the kitchen like some sort of rescue mission supplies drop.

I got my copy today at lunch from a local book store in Saint Paul, MN. I got blue signature! And then read passages aloud to colleagues whether they wanted me to or not.

And he thinks it’s ok to disparage his patients as a political talking point?! Thank God he isn’t my doctor.

All women deserve to be paid equally for equal work. On #EqualPayDay, we recognize the injustice of the wage gap, where women earn 75 cents on the dollar compared to men.

We're committed to closing the wage gap and ensuring women get the dignity and respect they deserve at work.

I can’t last one whole week until the next episode!!!! This is not the 1990s where we were patient about episodes for the best show ever because we had no other choice

Seconding this! He is great.

Rotting in bed watching Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, new show. I did manage to buy edible flowers to sprinkle on food from the comfort of my bed so maybe when I get up I can be fancy too. Maybe.

I think Speaker Johnson should consider some type of accountability app for lying….oh wait, that’s the American people…and we see his bullshit talking points failing in every town hall held

Arenas, huh? Is it a Taylor Swift concert? More like a small meeting room at the local city hall. 🙄

There are few things in life as precious to me as when my kids get in the shower & belt out songs at the top of their lungs. I don’t think they realize the whole neighborhood can indeed hear them

"They are pretty much just coming here, chopping heads off, without really doing their homework," James said. "He (Trump) got elected president and he's doing a lot of things that people never even imagined that he was going to do to us”

Lesson: The leopard will in fact eat YOUR face.

The mice. They’ve had enough of the propaganda, joining the dogs & cats of OH who are so exhausted by it all

What Mayor Wu said!

The false narratives the right weaves regarding so-called threats to safety is nothing more than a bunch of smoke & mirrors designed to make people lose track of actual work they could do to improve communities around this country.
