Social Studies Class, 1993:
The President doesn’t have absolute power. The founders put in checks and balances.

A younger me nods and thinks about how glad and safe that makes her feel.

Cut to 2025 me getting into my Time Machine and telling that girl, umm..yeah..sooo #socialstudies #democracy

Sitting in my graduate course, a photo of my grandpa randomly came across my computer and then faded. He passed away in 2020. Wiping tears from my eyes, I realize how far our family generations have come with education. Love you and miss you, grandpa. #education #loss #grandparents #love #grief

I read this as “my son is still at the vet hospital and I miss him”

I send you well wishes and good tidings. For your cat, who may be your son. These fur babies are our hearts. ❤️

The electric company took down a tree on our property. A neighbor told us this is one of the oldest trees in our small town. It did appear to be very old… Our town was founded in the 1850’s. Something sad and heavy about burning wood that is over 100 yrs old. #fcampfire #trees #history #indiana

Thank you. You don’t represent me in the Hoosier state, but we need you. We sure as can’t rely on our elected officials here. Many of us are not only being denied annual raises, but also having health insurance and food costs rising. On behalf of Hoosiers, thank you for doing what our folks won’t.

I also would love to live in the timeline of President Warren. She was my primary choice when Biden won. Biden did well, but maybe we would now be in the second term of Warren. That would have been fantastic.

Me to family voting for him:
Have you looked at Pro 2025? He’s going to take food away from kids in schools.

Family:
He said he’s not endorsing Project 2025. Are you even listening to his entire rally or are u just listening to sound bites?

Sigh. Here we are. Not the “I told ya so” I wanted…

What a fantastic interview. She is a true treasure.

Agreed. I didn’t find it cute. I’m like kinda crying and just anxious watching this. He’s about to lose his whole world 💔 I sure hope they adopted both.

I feel like so many people I know have recent troubles. Not like petty “this too shall pass” troubles, but like high-stakes troubles. Many of them are being caused by or exacerbated by the regime and the rich trying to get richer. I’m so tired. So incredibly tired. #maga #exhaustion #burnout #top1%

He didn’t care if Tylenol sues. It won’t cost him any money personally. It clogs the media cycle away from Kimmel, which he probably views as a “loss” since they reinstated him. Oh, also gets news off Epstein, his hands and his health.

racheljoann.bsky.social @racheljoann.bsky.social · 29d

They can take Tylenol if they can’t “tough it out”. Once again, more blame and bias toward child-bearing humans.

I’m struck today how Adult Me has changed so vastly from child Me.

Adult Me loves public speaking and the gym.

Childhood Me cried and panicked any time she had to give a speech. Her voice quivered. She hated gym class. Dreaded it.

#gym #publicspeaking #adult #child #change #growth

I’ve had to strike a balance while returning to school and what I choose to listen to for my focus study mode. I somehow fell in love with instrumental versions of pop music. I think this is my new chill vibe for all areas of life. This speaks to my soul. #gradschool #music #piano #focus

Got to the register to check out at 11:35am today. Nope. No beer. Put that back. You’re supposed to be in church. Come back and do it right.

I guess at least we can buy alcohol on Sundays now, but geez o’Pete.

Stop. Forcing. Your. Religion. On. Me.

I haven’t watched South Park for about twenty years. I haven’t missed an episode this season. Well done. You got my viewership back. Trump is f-king Satan and I’m here for it. Satan is stuck in a domestically violent relationship and I’m rooting for him to find his voice and leave his oppressor.

In August 2024, I was very into my fitness journey. I logged workouts on 13 of 31 days. This month I did even better! August 2925, I logged 17 workouts. Not slowing down! In this for the long haul #fitness #health #weightloss #applerings
