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.

I really think that a some AI wiener made-to-talk while wearing a suit is what this clip is. Gross.

This is BONKERS. Apparently judges can be arrested for directing people through a door that this administration doesn’t like. Overreach & flagrant disregard for the rule of law allowed this criminal complaint to be written

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.

Don’t forget the podcasters & social media influencers

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.

Hillary Clinton testified for 11 hours on an event that occurred two years prior but this disgrace ‘can’t recall’ what she was texted last week? But recalls the following day after her bluff was called by full release of the chat? Make it make sense. You can’t.

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

US airstrikes targeting Yemen's Houthi rebels kill at least 2 people, group says U.S. airstrikes targeting Yemen’s Houthi rebels have pounded sites across the country. The rebels say one attack Sunday in the capital killed at least two people and wounded more than a dozen others.

People have died as a result of the ongoing operation discussed in the Signal thread by incompetent Republican leadership. That isn’t an oopsie-daisy-they-just-made-a-small mistake. Nor is it anywhere near decent to react to that operation with bicep, fist or flag emojis. Shameful.

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.

This is how Republicans treat veterans. They don’t like what they have to say so they have police escort them out. SHAMEFUL.

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. 🙄
