I feel like my husband is cheating on me when he watches M*A*S*H in the middle of the day instead of at 6 o’clock as we promised in our wedding vows.

You know, for those of us who’ve been SA’d in some form, the Epstein stuff is just like pouring acid in our eyes. The triggering is nonstop. Release the files. Sometimes it’s worthwhile to be triggered, for the right reason.

I am taking over some social media for work tomorrow. I feel like I need to eat a bowl of Wheaties.

#Trumpstien files. Get it rolling.

Sink into this one (Nov 15) if you think YOU can handle the BOOKLOVE in this novel for grownups. It has Little House on the Prairie, the Heroine's Journey, wall-smashing train sex, and footnotes full of WELL, ACTUALLY. #booksky

Sneak peek at the COVER of Whoa, Nelly! This book is not for babies. It's for those bookworm, library-loving, deep-thinking, lost in a novel, fantasy-filled, daydreaming book-girlies. #booksky

If my cats don’t eat in the morning, I sound like a 1950s housewife: “You get in here and finish your breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day! There are stray cats who would be grateful for that food!”

I just ate the old womanliest sandwich ever. Cream cheese and jelly on raisin bread.
🥯 10/10 would do it again

True confessions: I get a nervous rash when I’m around my mom. It’s much better than it used to be but she was just here for two days, and I only started getting the rash toward the end of the visit. So that’s an improvement. I’m much better able to set boundaries now than I used to be.

Nobody talks about kittens attacking your pajama pants string and that’s why you have claw marks all over your inner thighs. 😆😭🐈‍⬛

Womp womp

Where did you get that picture of me?

Nice article. I’m gonna look for that book.

I just saw my first Back to School ad and I am not ok. 🤓

URGENT ACTION - send a message on the USPS The USPS Board of Governors announced its intention to appoint David Steiner, reportedly the White House’s preferred candidate, as the next Postmaster General. The appointment of a FedEx board member ...

In case you haven’t been doing it already, it’s important to keep a journal of all of these crazy things and how you are surviving because ordinary people like us will have to fill in the gaps.
Those slave narratives did not come from the winners nor the oppressors.

I was in J-school and they told us not to major in journalism. They said major in something else so you’ll have something to write about. Looks like not many folks followed that advice.

That’s what I got. Purported to be real.

I just got a message from the Social Security administration, saying no more tax. But that wasn’t in the bill? Excellent. Nothing but lies.

I'm looking forward to this!

Thanks, Jann!

I suppose half of me would have been Canadian. The other half would not be alive right now because my maternal side was still in Oregon. 🙂 🦆🦫🌲

#CanadaDay

Happy #CanadaDay, Canadian friends.

I would have been Canadian if my grandpa had not wanted to be in the movies* in the 1920s and sneaked over the border from Calgary. 🇨🇦🍁🦌🦫🫎

*Note: He was never in the movies. No talent ne'er-do-well. Alas.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.
