Ok there’s ALLLLLL the important things to pay attention to right now, but did you know Ari Shapiro is an absolute thirst trap?! I sure didn’t. Thanks for decades of great reporting, Ari. #NPR4ever

Wishing a Happy Fat Arlo Season to all who celebrate. Or at least, happy memories of the season. ❤️

Where did you go to see puffins?!! Also which tour outfit and do you recommend?

The fucking Marines?!

Oof, that must have been weird. I would never say anything! It’s just … sometimes on my mind.

Is grandbaby fever a thing?

I just cannot find any of this funny. At all.

Hanging on Rebecca Solnit’s every word the way I did on Peter Jenning’s in September 2001.

I just voted NO to advance Senate Republican's pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. They want to let Elon cut $1 trillion this year alone—those cuts are coming out of SNAP, Medicaid, VA benefits, & more.

Money out of YOUR pocket so BILLIONAIRES get more tax breaks.

I voted NO to confirm Howard Lutnick. I am not going to confirm ANOTHER billionaire to the cabinet who will just enable the most corrupt illegal power grab this country has ever seen. This is the most pro-billionaire, anti-middle class administration in history.

Russ Vought is out of touch with America & dangerously out of touch with reality.

He's said that the 2020 election was rigged, that he wants to "traumatize" our federal workers, & that we live in a "post-constitutional" time.

These extreme views should be nowhere near our government.

I don’t even have to scroll. The doom just keeps refreshing itself.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas unless it’s Covid that your husband catches at the annual corporate sales conference :-/

I’m doggedly hoping for another blazing comeback. I’m also hoping she can truly rest, and feel some comfort in knowing how beloved she is. Both. And. ♥️

Hypothesis: middle school band teachers have absolutely NO IDEA that plain, black slacks and button-downs are very difficult to find in tween sizes!

Looking forward to your report!

The Blue Angels are a bazillion times worse than 4th of July on the Doggometer Panic Index

I don’t suppose anyone else* will be more interested in melting the guns now.

*you know who I mean

Being required to have two dimes in my pocket at all times (so I could call home from a payphone if I needed help).

Escape to Witch Mountain!

To escape the thieving chimney sweep he worked for and had blamed the kid for his foiled heist! Under water, there were scary sharks and The Kraken.

Exactly this.

I am SO MAD they took away command shift M in Word! WTH?

I guess that’s one way to normalize mental health care 😬

Mmm really. It’s so hard to talk to a student AND THEIR PARENT about not tolerating hate speech at school and the consequences thereof. Almost impossible. What’s a gal to do.

Hope you didn’t have to pay healdsburg prices!

Where is this??

If I remember Trainspotting correctly, it should … ah … help with that.
