Members: He should focus less on Trump and more on Illinois property taxes!

Civics at work. Talk to your IL Rep, my friend. Not your US Congress Rep. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Feels like such an hill battle every day.

With how aggressive drivers are in Chicago, I’d be taking my life into my own hands trying it here. πŸ˜‚

I was interviewed once on Pittsburgh local news about traffic in the city. That means I am totally qualified as Secretary of Transportation too. Where’s my nomination?

2025 was probably not the best year to try and reduce stress eating…

Perimenopause be like:

You ate cookies for the holidays? Have seven pounds as a prize this month.

You are now eating healthy and exercising?
We grant you the loss of one pound this month. Be gone peasant.

If you went to college
1. what was your career goal when you started?
2. your initial major?
3. if you changed majors, what did you change to?
4. what do you do now, professionally?

1. Web design
2. Art
3. Business
4. Office manager by day and small business candle maker by night

Hello new BlueSky friends.

Always remember rule number 1:
Don’t engage with the trolls. Just block them.

You don’t owe anyone your headspace. And the trolls go away when they’re not getting attention.

I ended up muting the phrase for a while on my business account and over at threads. I know it happened, don’t need it jumping back up every time I log in.

My bookish account was originally supposed to be β€œlook at all these lovely books I’m reading” and now it’s β€œlook at me screaming into the void”. Let us all scream together.

Rolling Stone and the Onion may be the only two publications I subscribe to for the next four years…

Hope any clients who walk into the office like my music. Have to drown out the orange felon’s voice coming from a coworker’s office. The few lines I did hear from the speech have my blood boiling.

My Illinois people: have you had solar panels installed? What company did you go with and would you recommend? I keep getting hit up by sales reps for the large national companies but all have questionable reviews.

My daughter has been on the app since October and loves it. I figured it’s worth giving it a try. πŸ˜‚

I wish I could mute pictures of the orange felon. I want the news, not his stupid face.

Yup. And those of us who understand this also know people are going to take advantage of our chaos as well.

I want to keep up on the confirmation hearings, but it all just keeps me angry. We all know these unqualified yes men will be installed no matter how dangerous it is.

I don’t blame you at all. It’s bleak.

Creators, don’t stop pitching queer content to editors, producers, etc. because you’re afraid it’s going to be stifled going forward. That just helps the bad guys. Don’t pre-censor yourself or the industry you’re in!

Decided to try and keep all news and current event accounts I follow on this profile and away from my business one. That way my brain can have a bit of a break. This world is a lot to take in on the regular.

Best scent! I’ll need to make more melts in that scent soon.

I saw someone post one of their β€œouts” for 2025 is washing their legs in the shower. What am I missing? Why would you not wash your legs??

It’s wild seeing him pass Mario. If you told 90s me that would happen, I’d laugh so hard.
