As I sit with the cognitive dissonance of normal life and the tragedies of our world, I am giving my heart safety buoys that float on gratitude. There are so many people who are showing up with love in small and big ways. I’m keeping my eyes on the helpers who are fortifying me.

January 7, 2026 This morning, a federal agent from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good as she was driving away from ICE agents on a residential street in Minneapoli...

Utterly gutted by what happened in MN yesterday and everyday that ICE is allowed to wreak havoc. What a privilege it is for me to give myself grace today when I know there are so many families who can’t escape their devastating reality. My heart breaks for wanting rest while there is work to do.

Obviously a harm sandwich is e-coli jam spread between two slices of marble rye.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Florida and Wisconsin: vote your asses off today.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

They’re just as dumb as we think they are.

I started taking a klonopin before bed two nights ago, and I’m going to do that for a few days, maybe a week, to see if I can get that to stop. It seems to be taking the edge off so far.

For the last two or three weeks, I’ve been waking up nightly from a dream state heart racing and gasping for breath. This has been going on regularly since Election Night but seems to be picking up consistency. So, at least I have that going for me.

It will be a year-long project, but every day, I go to my Facebook memories, make sure I have the photos backed up elsewhere, take notes of any written memories that actually matter, and then delete every single post. I realize I could download my entire profile, but this seems more manageable.

That music though!

That’s why my family joined Costco! I sent an email to the Board of Directors to let them know.

Tell me you slept through history class without telling me you fucking slept through history class.

Those are SO cool!!

Apparently there were some big football games last night, and I was SHOCKED to learn that there is a team called the Commanders. Who are they and where did they come from? I could Google this, but I don’t care.

Congressman @ericsorensen.bsky.social, as one of your constituents, can you please explain your vote for the Laken Riley act that will be used by the Trump administration to strip due process from targeted minorities?

If she can do it, we can all do it.

Yep! That’s the work! Ughhhhh! But I’m committed. Glad to have a partner on the… uh… adventure. Haha

@emlynco.bsky.social 👋 I just got here too! Working to get out of the metaverse hellscape. 🫡
