Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you joy and happiness

Yeah, it’s like “hm, not sure how I feel about that. Interesting question- wait, who else is on that list? Ok yikes.”

Me, watching every other episode of South Park: 😑

Me watching the Trump shit in the recent South Park episode: ✊🏽😑

Ever start a home decor project thinking it’ll be simple, quickly realize you measured wrong & need a creative workaround, but then once you’ve disassembled everything you realize it’s actually as easy as you originally thought but now it’s as complicated as you secondarily thought? Happy Thursday!

Well this didn’t age well

“While you’ve been distracted…” girrrl I remember details from when I was 3. I manage the school schedules of 4 teenagers. Smells transport me fully into teenage traumas. I remember Gaza, Ukraine, immigrants, BLM and climate change, even when award shows are being aired. It’s ok. Not distracted.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of showing someone a bit of media you think they’ll like, and they laugh at exactly all the right places. (This is about showing Tessi and episode of Lower Decks)

When you scramble to finish your morning routine on the drive to work, you just WILL drink a chin hair in your coffee. It’s just part of the deal.

Tucker- “So, Pizza Hut for dinner?”
Me- “God yes. In fact, yesterday I was going to order myself Pizza Hut. But I didn’t.”
Lucy- “Wow. That story was life changing.”

I believe I have historically thought of racism as a worldview, requiring thought and belief. I have just suddenly and abruptly realized that all you have to do is be white and assume you’re the best. Sorry if this was, like, always obvious.

I understand that the world as we have known it is ending in anti-everything-I-am-fascism, and probably global war, but is anyone else also SO sick of spam calls? I could literally just-

Day to day, moment to moment, trying to decide if I’m panicking just the right amount.

Mmmmmhmmm

Scrapbook page, top section titled “Joshua Harris Conference November 97” with two photos of Joshua Harris at a podium, one with another man, one with his arms outstretched in a Christ-like gesture. Lower half titled “Thanksgiving ‘97,” with photo of a family of 7, plus an adult guest, sitting around a table. The children are wearing pilgrim costumes.

So, TL, how conservative -we’re- you? IYKYK

If any of the staff at my school talked to a teenager like they spoke to a fellow world leader, I would be mortified by their disrespect. If any of our students spoke to staff that way, they’d get sent home. Absolutely disgusting. And in contrast with how they speak to fellow dictators… sheesh.

Just put on a movie. It will be intolerably bad. I will, in fact, tolerate it. #thegulchmovie

I think this is really important when working with kids, too. Their “fits” and “disregulation” are often the only response available in a powerless situation that is actually very unfair. Being calm would be a concerning lethargy to anyone watching and wishing they cared mire how they were treated.

Lights out for tonight

*Biker #3 explodes *
Tucker- “What happened??”
Me- “He got shot in the eye.”
Lucy- “No, he ran into the camera man! You have to watch out for that!”
*zoom into Furiosa’s face*
Lucy- “LOOK OUT! It’s the CAMERA MAN! Duck!”

“They’re the good guys because they’re wearing blue. And their bikes aren’t cosplaying as horses. “ -Lucy, 2 minutes into Furiousa

“There’s no shame in being ashamed of yourself.” - my 12 year old, who thinks they’re joking but is actually blowing my ever loving mind

It’s on the to-do list. I’ll needs some details from you though

New art quilt: “Absolutely The Fuck Not.” Appliqué, quilting, and design by Tiffany Muskrat (me) 18”x22” #applique #fabricartist #artquilt #transisbeautiful #transjoy #artisresistance

“I brought my cheese but I forgot my queso. Now I’m gonna have to eat melty nachos instead of dippy nachos.” -When you’re channeling your stress into (literally) bite sized problems

Close up of the lower part of a fabric appliqué face against a blue wavy fabric background. The face is sky blue, with a blue and gold stubbly chin and gold sparkling plump lips. A pink tank top strap is visible in the lower left corner.

Back on my appliqué art bullshit

The utter disappointment of thinking you’ve made mint tea, and finding its chamomile. It’s like thinking you’re popping candy in your mouth, and biting down on a stick.

Welcome to the plutokleptokakistocracy! Where the ultra wealthy steal from you and run the country in the most insanely inept way imaginable.

*Insert halfhearted pep talk here*

Nope to the whole energy of the day. Wane, Moon, wane!
