Lucky kids! If you ever make it to Alaska, you should come do a read aloud at my library.

Maybe President Obama and Mayor Mamdani could come do a read aloud in my library too. 🥹

The Iceberg Theory, visualized:

"Trump's not conservative"

Oh no you don't. No no no no no.

I can tolerate Republicans moving on from Bush and the neocons, 9/11 and all that.

But you fucking own Trump from now until the end of time. He told you exactly who he was from day 1 and you voted for him 3 times. That's on YOU.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

The US is not being governed. It is being looted. 🤬

No arguments

It’s true. I still don’t have one.

Maybe this can be my excuse any time I do something wrong.

‘Sorry I was late to work. Israel told me to.’

‘Sorry I ran the stop sign. Israel told me to.’

We are 10 days into an illegal war costing us $900M a day which has led to the deaths of 7 U.S troops & 1200 Iranians including hundreds of children.
Everything here is far more expensive & we are far less safe. And all of it, all of it… is because Israel told us to.

You love your children. I love my children. There are more than 175 mothers in Iran that will never see their children, again because Donald Trump needed a distraction from the Epstein files.
He's going down. Historically, these types of monsters don't get away with that kind of shit.

But there’s no money for education, healthcare, daycare, food assistance, public television, national parks . . .

Happy Spring Break, you filthy animals!

(Yeah, that’s snow out the window)

I planted dahlia bulbs in pots this morning. That might be the extent of my starts this year.

Girl. Same. Let’s get together soon. I’ll text.

I’m always happy when the spring time change aligns perfectly with my spring break, like it does this year. But seriously, can we end this garbage?

So, what he’s saying is that he does NOT support Trans Equality.

I have two grandparents who were both originally Canadian citizens before they moved to the US - just sayin’ 🤷‍♀️

Prediction:

We will see a mental health connection in later life amongst people who now are endlessly doomscrolling and obsessing versus people who force themselves to regularly take a step back and enjoy art and literature and cooking and nature.

Some observations:

1. It’s surprising when people you thought were cool turn out to be ultra conservative Trump apologists.

2. It’s surprisingly easy to drop those who weren’t really a part of your everyday life, and you don’t even miss them.

As the mother of two boys of draftish age I wouldn’t trust their lives to anyone’s ‘assurances’ so long as we have an evil & addled man in charge of this country, and are lacking a Congress willing to stand up to him.

Accurate

TRUTH

Was sick with a stomach bug all day yesterday and I’m not feeling up to the protest against the ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAN. So I’m wearing a protest shirt. Different topic, same shitty president.

Liars gonna just keep on lying

Hmmmm - professional baker in logging camps and amateur woodworker (1) merchant marine/welder, then restaurant/bar/hotel owner (2). Both immigrants with middle school educations, I might add. Back when hard work was often enough to equal success.
