Post yourself from a different era.

Oh, THAT’S what it reminded me of.

I was SO happy when I heard the news this morning.

A clarification

The kerning on this is giving me hives.

Tail end of a migraine & tying very hard to stay awake until the kid gets picked up. It is surprisingly difficult, especially since she is monologuing about a Roblox game.

That’s gonna sound real weird if you’re not actually riffing on Steve Martin 🤣

Hey, omelet du fromage.

Disabled! Single mom! Having a panic attack! No idea what I’ll do without SNAP next month.

Before my older kid got diagnosed, his dad said that the problems he was having at my house were all related to my parenting and there was no point in discussing them as a family. Joke’s on him! It was schizophrenia. (Moms know when something isn’t right.)

The thread I’m hanging on by is attached to another, equally fraying thread. It’s threads all the way down.

I just had to call a cab. On the phone. Like it was the olden days. #awsoutage

Suddenly I want to go do a crime in France.

I’m so fcking bummed that I couldn’t go to the protest but Portland, you did me proud.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Been on hold with HRSN for an hour. There are still 30 callers ahead of me. Sigh.

Oh no those mf'ers HURT. Get the good drugs.

My daughter and I were arguing earlier about whether 7 is red or not (OBVIOUSLY it is) so I feel you.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.
