Maybe this chapter of your life is about developing patience w/ & compassion for parts of yourself that you were conditioned to deny & disown-- & maybe you don't owe anybody any apologies for prioritizing your own safety & stability for once.

Natalie Merchant is such an under appreciated artist. Man, her music, voice, and lyrics are all on point.

Nothing like food poisoning after working two thirteen hour shifts to make you repent of everything you’ve ever done and possibly going to do in the future.

Drinking a large amount of water every day helps you avoid other people's drama because you're too busy peeing.
Stay hydrated my friends.

These tariffs are a Trump tax. Instead of putting a stop to them, Congressional Republicans are rolling out the red carpet for more.

Trump Declares National Emergency Over Canada’s Electricity Surcharge, Imposes More Tariffs Trump Calls U.S.-Canada Border an β€˜Artificial Line,’ Pushes for Annexation

In a deranged post, Trump sent markets into another death spiral after declaring a national emergency over Canada's tariffs on electricity, imposing more tariffs, and calling the U.S.-Canada border an "artificial line" in a push for annexation.

πŸ—£οΈ Sen. Raumesh Akbari speaks passionately against a Republican-sponsored bill that allows schools to discriminate against undocumented students.

The Senate Education Committee passed the legislation on a 5-4 vote despite bipartisan opposition.

Sunday is a day for rest & reflection.
The laundry & dishes can wait.
Rest your bones.
Rest your atoms.
Rest your fangs & claws and be ready to face the menacing return of the Monday monster.

Sometimes peace looks like coming home after a long shift, putting on sweats, making nachos, and watching the Oscars with your cats ☺️

Turns out now was absolutely the worst time to start watching The Handmaid’s Tale. Took my generalized anxiety regarding the current news to a full panic spiral. Maybe going to try cat reels only to reset today πŸ‘€

Finally watching the Handmaid’s Tale. Quite honestly, it just seems like it’s time (or past time!), and I really need the script for the current bananas we’re living in. πŸ™ƒ

Friendly reminder for those feeling a case of the Februaries…you need dopamine! Scrolling gives mini hits, but for a stronger dose, try nature, gentle exercise, good sleep, dancing to your favorite song, making cookies, playing with your pets, hugging a friend, meditation, cold plunging or a bath πŸ’—

This has now become law- I voted and spoke against it - it’s unconstitutional- this is how fascist dictatorships happen.

So many institutions that should (and absolutely do) know better just canceling anything that isn't a Swedish meatball on a slice of Wonder bread right now, when no one - NO ONE - has told them to do so.

The Tennessee Senate voted 20-13 to expand Gov. Bill Lee’s voucher scam statewide at a cost of $1.1 billion over the next five years.

The vast majority of those public dollars will subsidize tuition for families already enrolled in private school.

A giant scam. Good riddance.

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.

β€œWe should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” β€” RFK Jr

This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.
