I need a rendition of "people will forget what you said but they'll never forget how you made them feel" but for all the randos who asked about my dad's things in the first days & weeks after his death. I'll never forget who asked for his belongings so quickly.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

The world is on fire but my baby turns two tomorrow so does that mean I get to shed tears of joy for like 20 minutes before going back to tears of despair?

Why is my toddler mad this morning? Our dogs can't give him a hug.

Gentle reader, even if they could & tried to hug him he'd be mad about it.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Yes, hello? Whoever is in charge? I'd like to request whatever chemicals appear in my brain while I snuggle my kid & read them bedtime stories to ALSO be dispersed throughout the day as I combat existential despair.

You say: they shutdown USAID.

You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

I was looking into some symptoms my child is showing this morning and temporarily forgot that the CDC website is now trash. A painful reality check.

you shouldn’t care about it because they might be coming for you next, you should care that they’re coming for anyone at all

Small morning cry at breakfast over the state of everything. My almost two year old began requesting family hugs & while I'm still sad, I'm just so proud of this tiny human.

While my "Word of the year" is RAGE, I've also set time limits for social media, taken to writing my elected officials daily, and deleted Facebook.

Self Care is doing what I can. And being loud with my dissent.

I don’t want to be too dramatic here, but it seems clear that the Republican Party is where the human soul goes to die.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

One of my goals for parenting is to make sure my kid is a good human/generally isn't an asshole. After todays's trip to the museum, I'm not quite sure that's a goal for others.
