Do we need to be embarrassed or should we joyfully embrace the cringe and expose the children to the classics?

Something to Write Home About, aka a prominent part of the soundtrack to my angsty high school years.

I really dislike a lot of things about this coffee shop (e.g., the coffee, the food, etc.), but all of a sudden The Get Up Kids started playing, which almost makes up for all the other issues.

Have these boots been inside the state of Texas? No.
Did I shake them out for critters since I haven’t worn them in 8 months? That is between me and the scorpions.

P.S. you can pry the skinny jeans from my warm, not wet millennial legs.

now that is a harbinger of doom

Colby did this too. Holding you jointly responsible.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

“Mama, I want go outside and play winter with you”

It’s snowing and the toddler is currently wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and her sneakers and she’s trying to run outside bc it’s “raining” and she “loves rain”

Thank you for staying strong. 💪

This is why having children is a bad idea. 😓

today was the second time in the past thirty days that ICE / CBP used chemical weapons ON AN INFANT and i feel like i’m going to lose mind just typing this sentence

"All right, class, who knows what Watson and Crick discovered?"
"Rosalind Franklin's notes."
"That's correct."

To torture Nora Robert’s glass ball analogy, the plastic balls are the ones that make the glass balls easier to keep in the air but also it means that I don’t sleep anymore.

About an hour after Ellis entered this injunction, a group of agents, including Bovino, drove away from a Southwest Side gas station where they were confronted by protestors, and fired a round of pepper balls at a sedan that pulled up alongside their vehicle, reports @chicagotribune.com

The Baked cookbook is so good! I still use their whiteout cake as a base for all my cupcakes.

Federal agents in Chicago are aggressive everywhere but they elevate this in the SW Side. They don’t just snatch people and leave. They linger longer, march down streets with guns, interrupt traffic flows. The attacks feel concerted to instill as much fear & display power over immigrant mhoods.

Chicago tonight

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

The toddler decided that she wanted popcorn and that while my husband was putting away the Halloween inflatable was the best time to microwave a bag for about 30 minutes.

I really want to be excited for everyone, but the teen is going on a field trip today and ICE keeps abducting people by her school.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

ICE is now entering daycares filled with children to kidnap their caregivers.

I have been using 150% of my executive function every day and I do not know how to replenish.

A central part of ICE's strategy here is to keep detainees hungry and thirsty in squalor to incentivize them to sign self-deportation papers to escape their inhumane conditions. And of course, they also lie to their captives about what they are signing.

My brain deciphers “shrimp” in cosmic crisp apples.

This is literally the republican agenda. Is it a feature or a bug?

The miro wireframes have escalated into fighting with a clickable figma mock up (that was mostly done by an actual designer who has like real skills) and wow. all you designers? you do not have anything to worry about.
