A shooting at an ICE facility in Texas, Charlie Kirk killed in Utah, yet no calls to send the National Guard to those states. Just the blue ones Trump doesn’t like.

Because I live in Utah, my pharmacy requires me to have a prescription for being pregnant to qualify for a COVID shot. Had to scrape my OB’s eyebrows off the ceiling and get that paper. Sometimes you gotta push through and do the ridiculous to get vaccinated. #vaccinated #COVIDshot

In light of what happened, I watched some of Charlie Kirk’s videos to better understand him.
Now I’m so angry I want to drag him back to mortality and give him a stern lecture. Especially about his gross misconceptions of motherhood.

I think it’s also very interesting that having children took priority over a having a spouse/relationship for Trump voters, whereas it’s the opposite for Harris voters.

Thanks to my toddler’s toilet-flushing escapades, all the tile and carpet needs to be torn out and replaced in the second story of my house, right before I’m due to deliver a 10lb baby.
Anyone got some good news I can jive with?

Still better than “You’re a writer? How many books have you published?” 😆

When life feels heavy and especially emotionally fraught, I keep rediscovering the immense healing power of:

✨ eat some food
✨ drink some water
✨ get some sleep

I’m reposting this because unfortunately it’s even more relevant. #immigration #stopice #genealogy

In 1911, Nesen Bader was held at Ellis Island to determine if he’d be a drain on US resources (“LPC”). If so, he’d be deported. Luckily, he got to stay & later had a child: Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
Don’t shut immigrants out for not seeing the good they bring right away.

Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?

Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

My in-laws gave my toddler their old fisher price cash register. I tried to explain to him what it was for, and then had to backtrack and explain what coins were. I think he’d get it if fisher price had an Apple Pay toy. 🤪

You’re going to get a lot of rejections and agents will ignore your emails and there will be naysayers around every corner and you’ll get 1-star reviews that are attacks instead of reviews. None of that matters. Keep going. Stay focused. Put in the work. Don’t quit. Go write.

Watched an episode of Gargoyles where Xanatos loses a judo match to his assistant, so he pulls a museum heist and dukes it out with Goliath in a robo-battle suit to feel make himself feel better.
Man, I love this show.
