My kid is currently designing “Senior Jeans” with three of her besties and the conversation is skipping between boys, girls, college, senior schedules, Friday’s football game and more. So thankful to catch pieces while I work from home because gosh, it goes so damn fast.

The fact Trump saw no reason to call Walz isn’t shocking to me - just underscores what is in plain site.

At what age or stage in life do you stop adding your children’s names to cards, gifts, etc? Grown and engaged 25 yr old? Prolly could stand alone now. 23 yr old who is single? Sigh. Why is it so hard to cut strings.

My face is sunburnt, my voice is hoarse and I didn’t get the tasks I needed done today. Instead I stood with my husband and daughter and two of her pals in protest. We danced and chanted in two towns. #NoKingsDay lit a spark that won’t soon go out.

Explaining things that make perfect sense in my head that stop others in their tracks who can’t see the connections is such a fascinating thing. I need a neuroscience teacher in my life.

I swear the most humbling parent moment is chatting with your adult kids about core childhood moments when their take is totally different from your own. I swear I did all that for you…didn’t I!?

Memorial Day Services: the band, aging color guard, taps, reading the names of the fallen…so good. But the program leader turned it into a church sermon. Discredits the service for me. Especially when Reagan quotes were used when Eisenhower should have been the choice. Soldiers deserve more

Sen Ron Johnson is deplorable. “I never really thought it was society’s job to care for other people’s children.” Calls himself both a Christian and public servant. No, sir, you are neither.

Yes, I still see cars in the parking lot at Target. But not my car. Same with Walmart, as long as I can find another alternative in my rural neck of the woods. Costco and local grocery stores, don’t fail me now!

They’re coming for the abortion pill. Project 2025 said they would, and now they are. We knew it was coming but it’s still so upsetting. Remember @plancpills.bsky.social is a resource for all of us.
It’s going to be a long four years.

Meanwhile Medicaid is proposed to be cut. Let the records show who supports taking money from those who need it most.

Dude is bypassing all the normal political visits with who were those considered allies and heading straight to the ones with the real estate deals and grifts that benefit him and his buds. It’s so gross and so visible - not even bothering to hide. #TrumpInQatar #TrumpInSaudiArabia
