Hey, Lo

Tfw almost spit out my beverage bc it's too much for my family to pick me up from the local airport than for me to fly 2k miles each way to see them for one weekend

"It's not my job"

I love nothing more than spending months starting plants from seed, tending seedlings, hardening seedlings, weeding garden beds, harvesting, cooking, and presenting food to my husband to have him lose his shit when I ask if he unloaded to dishwasher.

But also the PNW has been in drought most of my life so like.... what?

When I explain the activities schedule for our household, even I think I sound like a crazy person.
Soccer MTWFSS
Baseball MF
Hockey MWSS
Robotics M
Piano T
Cub Scouts W
Girl Scouts Th
Swim Th

My parents think J is proud of her diagnosis and bragged to them "like a victim" about her "hardship"

Same ppl who literally took away my Adderall and Zoloft as a teenager and told me to grow up and stop feeling sorry for myself.

A guy who got fired from his trump job the first time for being too racist now has two trump jobs. Some nice validation that, yes, it is actually worse this time

Most moms buy the crib that turns into the toddler bed that turns into a full bed.

I did that. Then none of my kids slept in the crib, spent a minute in a toddler bed (one broke it), and we've been thru floor beds, loft beds, trundles, and now a bunk.

It's been so many beds.

Someone in the comments: idk Hurricane Ridge you need boots it's pretty serious
8yo me, in Tevas:

Ok realtalk are we ready to retire "OBX" as a thing? Are we done putting those oval stickers on cars?

You drive an Explorer and have grey "wood look" floors, we already know where you vacation.

not many people know this but the philadelphia phillies are named that because they play in philliedelphia

Michigander: do I really need hiking boots for visiting WA Natl Parks?
Other Michiganders: YES
Me, and other PNWers: on the trails you'll be taking, Tevas are fine 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

today my husband asked the employee operating the BART elevator how her day was going and she looked him right in the face and said “it’s had its ups and downs”

Fifteen years ago HOI had already fled Florida. They'd only recently begun returning but then scattered again after the last few big storms.

while we're at it the washington nationals should change their name back to the expos

it very much was meant to dismiss immigrant new yorkers visiting home?

One of the requested accommodations is more challenging curriculum appropriate to her skill levels. Something she didn't qualify for before bc she struggles so much with the in school standardized testing.

Crying bc we finally got J the diagnosis she needs to get accommodations at school. She's so smart, but started hating school because she said she felt stupid... she was struggling so much.

in any other city I've lived in, a freeway being shut down for hours, no accident, police just walking the concrete--spread out searching the ground--would be headlines and news helicopters.

in Detroit, it was just a Wednesday.

(but really I'm curious why, especially with a Tigers game!)

"Let's bomb Iran" has been the stupidest fucking take for decades.

We have nothing to gain from it.

But there's so, so much to lose.

I was in line for coffee behind a car with a Gold Star plate today.

Our government shouldn't be in the business of making more. But here we are.

This is reckless, illegal action from the president. He does NOT have the authority to enter us into a war with Iran. He MUST consult Congress. This is not what Americans want. I’m thinking about our troops tonight.

Dawg you wanna do something besides condemn

Chat I have a political science degree and a law degree. I understand they don’t have the votes to impeach him. They should still be filing articles based on this flagrantly, explicitly impeachable offense.

Surviving the heat wave

Coworker complains (half seriously) about the stress of her savings getting drained.......... for a 2 week trip to Japan (on top of several multi week Disney/Universal trips)

My savings is drained by $5k in vet bills for my dead cats, $2k for a broken door, and now my transmission is failing 😭

When you have to coerce people to show up to your birthday but still no one does

A friend confirmed (from the DC area Warped) that the "event" today was...... not well attended 🤷🏻‍♀️

Meanwhile, across the country........

It’s bleak out there, but it’s heartening to know millions of people from all walks of life took the time to ruin one specific persons birthday, America’s hater spirit remains strong
