I wrote this op ed last year when Trump's budget proposal included a ~70% cut to the WIC fruit and veg benefit. Last year, that proposal didn't make it through Approps, and WIC remained intact, so he's trying again this year. www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...
“When we started talking about Dilley, Deiver and his mom held each other and started crying…They are an amazing family, and I’m honored to know them.”
After the 2016 election I was talking to a guy from a dating website. He said he did not vote in the election. I changed my profile to say 'if you voted Trump (or did not vote, same thing) I hope you snap your own neck trying to blow yourself'.
Never did end up getting together with that guy ...

Happy No Kings Day to those who celebrate.
I have been up with an ill toddler since 6 and will miss it, but I am yelling in spirit.
Cause seriously, FDT and this trash fire he keeps adding to.
The Trump administration is cutting a check for nearly $1 billion (your tax dollars) to a French energy company to walk away from offshore wind projects along the East Coast. The federal government is paying a foreign corporation to kill clean energy and keep fossil fuels flowing.
🗓️ Mark your calendars, break out the sharpies, and text your friends.

This has been on my mind a lot recently. Don't get me started on billionaires.
Having a real 'no one is promised tomorrow' kinda day. Trying to speak in the little things.
One reason thrift stores are great: we just bought 4 pairs of pants for me, 2 kids snow pants, and a board game for ~$40.
Having pants my postpartum body actually fits in (that are not yoga pants)? Priceless.
Dad just gave me a couple of his wool button up shirts (with elbow patches) and one smells like him.
I feel very cozy right now.
#CouldBeWorse
Epstein helped get out a conspiracy theory regarding Libs being baby eating child rapists, while running a ring of capitalists doing so, so when it finally came it out it would seem like more conspiracy theories.
I have to not look hard into it because of the horror. Still, don't ignore it.

Y'all, MSPCA just showed me an add for 8wk old pit bull puppies. Not far.
Cause I def don't need a new born and a terrier puppy at the same time.
Hanging with Mom yesterday I was talking about the kids and she made it a point to check in with me. Sure the kids are okay but what did I eat today?
When leaving she asked my name and seemed pleased to say "I know you".
Forgets who I am, cares anyway.
I am lucky.
Last month, the Trump administration revealed exactly the future it is building.
One in which the laws are ignored, American life is cheap, and elections are hijacked by FBI raids.
It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies
What if they are killing a couple of us loudly with guns to distract from the 50,000+ who will now die because they don't have health care?
Have you heard of the horrors,? Have you heard about 5 Calls, an app that lets you easily contact your representatives?
Interesting times indeed.
#AbolishICE
I just saw the latest video of ICE killing someone. Holy fuck. I had gotten used to the group of masked men beating someone on the ground, but then fucking shot him.
I was not desensitized enough for that.
Holy fuck.
Tall bare oak tree covered in snow, blue sky and shorter trees in the background.
100% insane. People are dying and I am potty training and doing laundry. Young me thought I would be in the streets, but the useful streets are far away and I need to be back in time for preschool pickup. Local action feels like screaming into the void (but I do it anyway).
Not to brag, but the dental hygienists just said "good job" for how well I followed directions during my x-rays.
Ok, maybe to brag. #winningatdentistry
It gives me big feels, being given my mother's jewelry (because she will never again) while she is alive. The body is still here but it feels like it is just haunted by her ghost. Not all are bad.
Experience so far regarding Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's: failing grade. do not want to repeat.
Baby logic: best post bath activities include peeing on dad and then blowing out your diaper.
Child free peeps don't know what they are missing.
Post Partum Milestone: finished the 45 days of anticoagulant injections.

Sometimes I am the man in my relationship.
(My stocking had things in it, but my fiance's did not. Luckily he does not seem to be too bothered about it. I will do better next year.)
Happy Solstice 🎄
