Hot Take: Your event is not "family-friendly" if the start time is 5 pm or later 🤷🏻 #parenting

It's so disheartening hearing from people how much their work is being thrown into chaos, both directly and indirectly due to the uncertainty of these last couple of weeks. And it's the most important kind of work: social services, environmental work, etc

Still haven't been able to watch Carter's full funeral. Every time they pan to Trump, I fume. Rage. Carter deserved better than his presence. Trump hasn't earned the right to be in the same room with Jimmy, even in death

True story.

The Puget Sound rainy season is not made for lovers of sun, warmth, or being dry in any way.

Also, we really need to invest in a large wetbag to better support the aftermath of our adventures.

Zoom mtg icebreaker this morning: one word describing your feelings heading into 2025.

Mine: Salty. Forever salty.

That is the nicest way I could describe my feelings in a professional meeting

One of my son's disability supports requires a new apple account, and just like that I'm reminded why I don't use apple anything

I've always taken for granted that I come from a progressive family. No one in my family voted for Trump. Everyone despises the man. I don't need to dread holiday gatherings with the family. That's pretty lucky

Love it!

I used to be cool and up with all the pop culture business. I swear I did.

But then, I had kids and didn't have the time. Being cool takes time

Eclectic, secular-progressive, interest-led & nature-engrossed individualized education

What is your homeschool approach?

And also, ew.

Broligarchy is a fabulous word

Officially deactivated both of my X accounts. X sucked. But I'm still a little salty over the downfall of OG Twitter. It was my favorite platform for all things subject-matter current events and news

Every evening at bedtime, as I pull out PJs and get the kids' stuff ready, my husband cleans up the kitchen with our boys, before heading to the couch to watch a short video about how something is made. They all love their routine. Last night, it was how playdoh is made. Tonight, it's about tomatoes

I like it too

Thought the exact same thing — like, what?!

Tracks with how I'm feeling today

This is us!

My whole goal is to build an entire feed full of science, nature, conservation, and families traveling, recreating, and educating their kids outdoors

This feels like old Twitter 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Like minus the weirdness of X, but a better feed option than Threads. Someone tell me I'm right!!
