I’m so tired of feeling this level of despair and hopelessness. I’m tired of bad people not facing consequences, and not feeling like I have any power to make the world better for my kids. I’m so tired of wanting to know what the point even is anymore. This wasn’t what it was supposed to be like.

Why is the music that I listened to through high school and college now nearly exclusively all I want to listen to again? And why does so much of it seem even MORE relevant now? 😵‍💫😖

I’ve been so bad about updating here lately!! 🙈🙈🙈

You know you’re turning 36 when, for your birthday, you tell the kids to play video games for the morning as your celebration (skipping homeschool today) so that you can go work on your yard projects 😂🙈

That’s my way of celebrating! 😍

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party

thx in advance

Trump’s DOJ Erases Report On Violence Against Native American Women

Trump's DOJ has erased a report from its website that lays out its own recommendations for tackling violence against Indigenous women www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

As a child of the 90s, I never, not even for a moment, imagined that I would have to raise MY kids in the American equivalent of 1933-1945 Germany. We had so much hope for the future, and yet here we are… this is wrong. #parenting #fdt #thisisamerica

When they came for immigrants, it pissed me off. When they came for trans folks, it pissed me off. When they came for scientists, and when they came for charity parts of our government, it pissed me off. When they came for park rangers, it pissed me off. I need to do more than this. How do I help?

Well, we’ve been trying to decide, for months at this point, if we were emigrating or homesteading… we finally decided on homesteading. Spent the weekend working prep, making raised beds, buying chickens and getting ready for goats!

It’s a hard life

Well… emailed a bunch of immigration lawyers today. You know, just in case 😬

“So how stressed ARE you about the whole situation over there?”
“Well… I don’t know which one is a better indicator… but I’m currently googling immigration lawyers, and yesterday I gave myself bangs.”

My daughter, who turned twelve on the 17th, just came in to the kitchen and asked, “how old do you have to be to have a goth phase?” 😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻 I love being a mom. #parenting #itsnotaphase

AMERICANS:

“We’re gonna be doing one thang, and one thang only…” 🫡

Sometimes we use AI to jokingly gaslight our children into believing our jokes. Hopefully this will be the extent of their future therapy: “Mom and Dad always told me that Oklahoma Jake was way better than Texas Pete, but we couldn’t get it in the stores in Florida.” 😂🙈 #parenting is fun

I. Want. To. LEAVE.

A birthday in Oz! Second oldest daughter turned twelve over the weekend, not sure how that happened so fast! 🥹🥹🥹

Up close photo of a rehabbed wild squirrel. The squirrel is climbing in some limbs and facing the camera. Over the squirrel’s right eye is some pink skin where a cut has been healed over.

Poor li’l Beans must have cut over his eye the other day 🥺 It’s weird to still see them around the farm, but not be able to intervene or help or whatever — My first go round with this release piece is as much of a learning process as any of the rest of this has been. #apprentice #rehabber

It’s a good day to be anywhere that isn’t inside in front of the television.

Oh my gosh, I didn’t realize that’s why you got on here!! 😂😂 I’m honored! It’s surely a treat knowing you 🖤

Waiting for all the bad things you can’t stop from happening to start happening is an awful feeling.

I love you so much my friend!!!

I joined pixelfed and substack today if any friends are on those… lmk 👀 My Meta purge has left me without a lot of my old social media friends 😔

Dear any #farrier that hasn’t joined #rednote / #littleredbook / #XiaoHongShu - please do. I posted a video of my horse playing with my farrier and it has gotten 600k+ views in 4 days with tons of comments begging for “horse shoe repair” videos 😂🙈 But I can’t make those because I’m not a farrier 🤷🏼‍♀️

I released the last of the rehabbed orphaned squirrels yesterday! And my favorite, little Pip, surprised me by jumping on me one last time before he left 🥹 Good luck, little friends! (Remember to always take injured or orphaned wildlife to licensed rehabbers, friends!)

Nice 🙌🏻🙌🏻
