Reflecting on Charlie Kirk's Death I’ll never forget scrolling through social media and seeing the headline “Charlie Kirk Has Been Shot” accompanied by the horrifying footage of his brutal assassination.

“Some will not permit me to exist in this tension, but I do.”

Well said @preacherboyspod.bsky.social That quote resonates on a lot of levels. That tension is what makes us, and keeps us, human.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. A wrong and a right also don’t often make a right. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ok the fantasy-themed nexplanon commercial is what women and uterus-havers deserve. It’s cute and pretty AND the side effects are also said calmly and slowly enough to be understood. 10/10

Further Chuck moments: she noticed my bandaid from donating blood and asked about it. I explained that I gave away some of my blood to people who need it. She said “But now you don’t have enough blood! You need to go back there and get more blood!”

Update: by Guns and Ships, she wants to know why Washington is a pirate (tricorn hat) and whether he’s a good pirate or a bad one.

My four year old child asked to watch Hamilton a second time, so obviously I said yes.

Within the first two songs, she sagely said: “Mom, I don’t like when they kill Hamilton.” And then immediately afterwards, banned me from rapping along with the tv.

James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and one of the most influential voices in the conservative evangelical movement, has died at age 89

It’s ok to feel joy when someone hateful dies, and it’s okay not to. What I hope all the kids harmed by James Dobson’s teachings are feeling today is peace and a little relief. Be gentle with yourselves today. ❤️

They had the audacity to elect a pope while I was in the middle of a very hectic day 😂 but I am definitely going to have thoughts and feelings.

I love you Clinton and Stacy 😭 thank you for #wearwhateverthefyouwant

I guess I thought they just left the chimney up there? Seems strange to take it down and put it back up every decade or so.

As the mom of a four year old, this broke my heart.

the womanhood imagined by transphobes is a prison

Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me??

Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?

Hey, you owe me some money. I know how much you owe me, but I’m not gonna tell you. Instead, guess how much you owe me. If you get it wrong, I might mail you a fat check, or I might ruin your life. Have fun! Happy spring!

Does anybody actually like Fruit by the Foot or are we all just suffering through it to get to the much more delicious Gushers and Fruit Roll-ups?

There was great music and lots of free snacks at the protest my kiddo and I went to today!

As a deconstructed former IFB girl, the biggest annoyance in my life is when I need a safety pin and can’t find one.

Hope is a strange feeling these days.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for today. It’s a relief to see that someone is doing SOMETHING.

Ok I didn’t expect to cry but here we are

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

I’m filled with humility to be able to witness this historic moment. We are minutes away.

BREAKING: HE DID IT! HE DID IT! SENATOR @booker.senate.gov HAS BROKEN THE RECORD FOR LONGEST SENATE FLOOR SPEECH - BEATING RACIST STROM THURMOND'S 1957 SPEECH - 24 HOURS 18 MINUTES. "I'M NOT HERE BECAUSE OF HIS SPEECH, I'M HERE DESPITE HIS SPEECH!" THANK YOU, SENATOR!

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
