Being a single mom of a teen boy is an adventure. This am I taught him how to shave. Dude had fuzzy sideburns and a chin strap plaguing him.

The storms really mess with our oldest dog. He has ripped up his crates in terror, causing his gums to bleed.

Trying to teach my child what is happening.
Today, I talked about the Oval Office debacle. I shared the Stand Up for Science protest. He's reading banned books, learning about birthright citizenship; the history of the civil rights & queer movements. Poor kid, he's probably as overwhelmed as I am.
