I write things. I’m snarky. I have a gaggle of children. I’m a social worker with ADHD.
Wonder how long I have before I can no longer access the app…our lawmakers are wet sock puppets.
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

I’ve found a pretty quick way to shut down mediocre white dudes who make racist claims about violence or slavery. Ask them directly what their community is doing about violent white men and boys pointing out stats on school shootings, mass shootings and serial killers./1

What kind of person do you have to be to be sued by quakers and bishops from the Catholic Church, to have the pope call you out and for clergy at Notre Dame refuse to meet with your VP who wore freaking jeans to mass at Notre Dame like it was just a church down the road. We are so embarrassing!

What the what? First Trump accidentally fires the nuclear analysts and can’t find the head guy (he probably blocked them tbh) and now they accidentally fired the people handling the bird flu. Maybe a foreign billionaire shouldn’t be allowed to play king in a government he knows little about.

Nazi salutes at an inauguration is certainly a choice…an odd choice but a choice nonetheless. I always (never) wondered what it would be like to live through the third reich 😑

Nothing makes me more irrationally angry about having 37.4 kids than spending half a mortgage payment on food that is just going to turn into poop…literally.

Super cereal parenting question. How do you get kids to stop eating boogers? Science and the gross factor are not working. 🫣 #parenting #parents #moms #sendhelp

The kids went back to school last week after winter break. This morning my 6 year old woke up with a new gift. He’s been sleeping since 2 PM. 😞

I feel very helpless when it comes to the fires in LA. I want to will it to rain. Will the wind to stop. Will the houses to go back to normal and breath to refill the lungs of those lost. I want to will it to stop but when I squeeze my eyes shut willing the impossible, tears are all that come. 💔

If you’ve ever wondered what kind of mom I am, when my son was prescribed vitamin D and put the prescription in his pocket I sang Pocket full of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield every time he left his room for 3 straight days.

Remember that episode of Saved by the Bell when Jessie was cry singing “I’m so excited” before admitting she had a problem. That’s how I feel with every new revelation since Trump’s re-election…wheee!

To grab the limelight, Nancy Mace has targeted Sarah McBride, the nation’s first elected trans House member. The vitriol from Mace has been contemptible.
This is in sharp contrast with McBride, who has acted commendably and with grace. And ironically, McBride now has high national visibility.

Yesterday, I posted about an Arkansas horse stable that is accepting voucher money to pay for horse riding lessons for homeschoolers. They ended up getting so much pushback that they deleted the entire post.
This is what we mean when we say do not obey in advance. Push back.

So this is pretty cool: I think I’m the first national news correspondent to switch my chyron social handle from X to Bluesky. 💪🏽

Why am I sweating and breathing hard when my husband has been at work for 4 hours already? Oh, just looking for my kid’s underwear and socks inside of toy boxes, totes and old Easter baskets. I drew the line at washing underwear twice a week. Oh look, brand new soccer socks still in the wrapper. 🤦🏾♀️

Why is it every time I try to start writing after eating lunch I’m fighting for my life to eke out a sentence?! I just want to nap. Instead I’m going to act like an adult and plug in this treadmill and walk while I try to write something that looks like an article.

My mom and disabled brother moved in recently so my mom could retire after the sudden death of my stepdad in 2018 (motorcycles still give me ptsd). Anyway, I had to move my office to my bedroom but my animals don’t know what WFH means. Now my office is in the closet bc that seems fitting for 2024 🫣

Did I spend a fortune on passports even though I have no plan to leave the US anytime soon? Yes. I want to make sure they’re processed by competent people. Plus my kids will need them for when California secedes from America 🤣. My current state is so ghetto.
