And it brings a whole new level of anxiety to it all.

For Black History Month, our kiddo has to do a research project on a black artist, musician, or influential human. He chose Prince!! Can’t wait to rock out to some revolutionary music over the next few weeks. #ProudMinnesotanMom #TheRevolutionStartsInMN

Anne Frank quote: “Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Last June I shared this quote on social media, and an acquaintance of mine commented that “these things aren’t the same” and that I was perpetuating a false narrative. Fast forward six months, seeing Liam and Renee and Alex and Diana… anyway, I’ve been thinking about her comment a lot lately.

Starting a rewatch of Andor with our 12-year-old… for no particular reason whatsoever. #IHaveFriendsEverywhere #WhatAReckoningSoundsLike

My child is the greatest 11-year-old.

Feels timely that I just watched Avatar for the first time with my kid last night. Makes explaining this whole “bombing a place and killing its people so we can steal their natural resources” thing easier to explain to him.

Starting out the new year by getting sick. Already tired of your shit, 2026. Get it together.

Last night we watched the Newsies musical with our 11-year-old and had a riveting conversation about capitalism, the importance of unions, and the concept of work strikes. So, you know, proper lefty parenting.

It’s a very specific type of holiday hell when you plug in your tree and none of the lights come on 😑

Never again is happening right now. We must demand answers about these disappearances. resist.bot/petitions/PU...

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross" - Sinclair Lewis 1935

So does anyone know what time the rapture is supposed to happen? I want to make sure I don’t miss it 🤷‍♀️

The “Principal Skinner” meme that reads: “Is my husband’s ‘tism genetic? No, it’s the Tylenol that’s to blame.”

So, as someone who never took Tylenol while pregnant with my neurodivergent kiddo… do I need to do some sort of deep investigation to find out who gave me Tylenol without my consent? 🤔

1.) gun violence is horrible in this country and something should have been done about it decades ago

2.) i cannot feel bad for a man who spreads hate and then becomes subject to the kind of hate he spreads

3.) trans rights, forever

Celebrating 17 years of marriage with @burgundyblue.bsky.social today. Thanks for making even the most mundane, boring tasks in life enjoyable, hun ❤️ Everything may suck, but at least we’ll be laughing as everything burns down around us.

Hubs: “Is it supposed to rain tonight?”
Me: “No, but it’s muggy AF out there.”
Hubs: “Well it smells like rain!”

Spoken like a true midwesterner.

So we didn’t win the Powerball AND he didn’t die? Man this day is stupid.

Well, I didn’t win the Powerball last night, so here’s hoping for some other good news today 🤞

Perhaps it is finally someday…?? COULD IT FINALLY BE THE DAY?!?

Given the speculation floating around about 🍊☠️ I’ve got this song playing on repeat in my brain.

White House staffers: He’s alive and well, in fact, he’s going golfing this morning.

Also White House staffers:

NE PORTLAND: we are fairly certain we have now witnessed ICE agents in action across the street from our home. Thankfully the person they targeted was allowed to leave the scene. 5 masked white males in mismatched “Police” tactical gear (no uniforms) driving civilian vehicles with dash flashers.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Florida officials deny accusations of inhumane conditions at Alligator Alcatraz Detainees claim they are enduring inhumane conditions, including lack of access to water, inadequate food and denial of religious rights.

Cruelty is the point.

We cannot allow this to become commonplace in America.

We cannot allow the news cycle to drown this out.

We must continue calling out what is happening in ICE facilities every single day. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/a...

I watched a video a couple days ago that stated “history doesn’t repeat, it rhymes.” And I haven’t stopped thinking about that since.

So glad we all get to experience the Most Ironic Independence Day In American History.

I hate this holiday so freaking much. There is literally no reason to celebrate this dumpster fire, and I’m curled up with my poor dog who has been anxious-panting for 3 hours because our asshat neighbors are shooting off fireworks even though they are banned. I hope they all blow their faces off.
