Somebody in our building keeps complaining to the front desk that we're too noisy and it sounds like we're having a party up here. But it's at times we're all sleeping. One time the front desk guy rang OUR doorbell and woke us up late at night to tell us to be quiet, and I was PEEVED.

We can spend $2 billion on this, $40 billion on bailing out Argentina, and MANY billions on killing people in other countries, but using tax dollars to make sure working class Americans have food and health care is apparently just too far.

As a SAHM, life can feel a little monotonous.

SO I decided on a whim to book a hotel in Taipei for two work nights a couple weeks from now. My husband will work during the day. I'll take kiddo out to do some things in the city that are harder to get around to now that we live further out.

Remember when people were like, "If we accept gay people, it's a slippery slope! They're going to try to make us accept pedos too"? Remember when people were having a moral panic about the left being full of groomers? Remember when the right was constantly talking about protecting the children?

I must have picked the WRONG weekend to make plans in Kaohsiung because it's like every hotel in the city is fully booked. Besides ones where the reviews say things like "I got bed bugs here" or "cool place if you like spooky partially-abandoned buildings."

That being said, I just heard someone say that one piece of evidence for a flat Earth is that if you put the letter "t" into NASA and then mix up the letters, you get Satan, which means NASA is trying to hide God's handiwork and drag people to hell.

...and that's definitely too far for me.
I hate to admit it, but when I hear conspiracy theorists talk about their nutty ideas...I kinda get it on some level.

It's not like I dive into every wild conspiracy theory and believe it fully with zero evidence. But I do have a few tinfoil hats in my closet, ya know?

It's too bad nobody saw this coming....

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Ok, I'm reading The Night Guest by Hildur Knútsdóttir and I'm not quite to the end yet, but I think I'm beginning to see where it's going and...WHY??? 😢 (I know, I know, horror is SUPPOSED to be horrifying and I got myself into this willingly so I have no one to blame but myself)

Highly recommend Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan. 💜

"Was it possible to carry on along through all the years, the decades, through an entire life, without once being brave enough to go against what was there and yet call yourself a Christian, and face yourself in the mirror?"

The US president is a convicted felon and "liable" for sexual assault.

Forgive me if I'm not that upset about undocumented immigrants who are just existing peacefully in our country...

Updating my LEGO White House

This picture of the white house in shambles with American flags waving nearby is actually a perfect reflection of the state of the US right now.
The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Yes, and perhaps the saddest part is that nobody is even a little surprised.
Tonight the president of the United States posted a video of himself wearing a crown and flying a jet that dumps diarrhea all over the United States.

Seriously. He actually did this.

Why are far-right Christians the same everywhere? It's like a disease or something. Always with the persecution complex.
Important report—key to highlight is that counter-protestors against the Kirk memorial were peaceful, but were then attacked by event participants, and then the right-wing groups that put the event together started to smear the counterprotestors as violent

Sad I could not be there with my fellow Americans to protest today, but so proud of the millions who gathered NON-VIOLENTLY around the country. Keep it up guys! I'll be cheering you on from afar and doing what I can where I am 💜 #NoKings

Made a new EZWay account with my new format APRC number...and now my packages are not showing up there for approval. Fun!

It was working so well for me for a while there, too...

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”
Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

"A spokesperson for Justice Brett Kavanaugh did not return an emailed request for comment."
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...
