And the state’s first trans mayor! (Downingtown). We to go Chesco!
A vampire that’s not Dracula.
The fear of a dog winding up on the autism spectrum. What if it became nonverbal? Clearly worth the risk of rabies. /s 🙄
Bought a pumpkin intending to carve it but the squirrels beat me to it! I think what it lacks in detail it makes up for in macabre.
Ready for the #OMITB finale on Tuesday with our S5 murderer draft. Who do you think is gonna get the win, me or @onemansideshow.bsky.social?
They can’t! This is our escape…
We’re a few episodes behind on this season… my kids are going to go NUTS when we see that (9yo is a three ball juggler while 13yo is up to 4).
In our family we agreed we’d rather hear more about the blackheads. (Tough contest, though).
This was a wild episode of #omitb. Because it’s like… that’s three Oscar winners plus Selena Gomez (and then the joined Renee Zellweger for a fourth).
Sending you so much love! Hate that you’re suffering. ❤️
I really liked Jeremiah in general—but I do think his whole astrology thing was a big part of his loss. Deciding to engage with Alex based on pseudoscience instead of reality.
He was sworn in yesterday afternoon.
I am so ready for 2026! Now to show my kids Music Man, Sound of Music, etc., by April so I can bring them with me this time!

New from me:

I’m no fashionista but I really hated all the black gowns with weird puffy sections last night. I hope that’s not the new trend. But I agree that Lisa from Blackpink’s look was absolutely divine! #Emmys #Emmys2025
That last line was perfection! (And okay, this is my first ever comment about a fic after years of reading).
I still can’t get over that Sabrina Carpenter is Bart Simpson’s niece.
There was a news story about an announcement planned at that time… and people wanted to know if the speaker was alive or not.

A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family’s ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised President Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.
How Much Is Trump Profiting Off the Presidency?
A comprehensive estimate of how much Trump and his family are making, from hotel mega-deals to crypto schemes, has been elusive—until now.

My kids’ school does T-Rex drills… so they can practice what they need to without it being a realistic threat of any type.
