Man, I kinda miss that other site. I don't know why I'm not really enjoying Bluesky. Maybe it's a lack of more mainstream accounts still. I just never really think to do anything here.

Is there a way to mute the word "Minecraft" in my real life? I may never hear my 6 year old again, but I'm okay with that if I don't have to hear about Minecraft anymore.

Henry just said, "Mom, can I use the tablet?"
I said no.
He said, "Did I ask you? I'm just saying, did I ask you? No. I asked mom."
If I come back from vacation with one child, that's why.

Woah. These new DHS radio spots encouraging folks here illegally to "register on our app now" and maybe be able to return home without being arrested are really gross. "Leave now or you're next" is a bad line from a shitty dystopian movie.
I hate this timeline. Also, fuck Trump and Noem.

It's too expensive & they nickel and dime you to 💀, but I'm having a great time at Great Wolf Lodge. A full day, solo with my 6 year old is the best.
He conquered his fears & did his first big waterslides & is now confident enough to do most of the stuff here without me. I love him so damn much.

Let's speak plainly about what is happening. The First Amendment has been terminated for immigrants.
Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause.
And what did Republicans in the House do today?
They passed a budget resolution that paves the way for more tax cuts for the rich.
"Party of the working class."

Trump is such a stupid fuck. I'm becoming convinced he just wants "the poor" dead. I feel like he's considering legit genocide on his own country.
