One of my favorite parts of seeing Wicked was just how HAPPY people were leaving the theater. Adults, kids, and especially the theater geeks like me.

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.

Well, I guess it was time.

Is the floor so low we’re only half-expecting an apology from a Senator who mocked the assasination of politicians he didn’t like? Or is there just no floor at all anymore? Mike Lee should resign. Today.

It’s ok to log off and find some peace instead of arguing with very-online people about future elections. There’s so much work ahead of us. You don’t have to fight fires on a platform designed to make you mad. Take a nap. Go outside. Be with friends. Let hate sit alone.

What should I binge watch?

Hey. You should text/call/voice-note some friends just because. Don't just DM silly videos. Check in with them. We all need some genuine connection right now!

Not hearing back from your husband all morning and then realizing it’s because he’s testifying in the Senate…

2016 Hegseth would be calling for the impeachment and imprisonment of 2025 Hegseth.

If todays X outage is truly a cybersecurity issue, then let me draw your attention to Musk hijacking a two billion dollar FAA contract for himself with Starlink equipment that hasn’t been rigorously tested for cybersecurity concerns. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The FAA’s Troubles Are More Serious Than You Know

The agency responsible for air safety is facing deep cuts and interference by Elon Musk.

Slashing funding for cancer research does not make America great or groceries cheaper.

My midwestern love language is push-brooming the van for the morning commute.

What’s bringing you joy today? You’re allowed that, ya know.

I remember when Fox News absolutely melted when a certain Secretary took a family member on a presidential delegation. Let's see how this one plays out.

So,about brining the deck chairs in…👀

It is not too early for Christmas music.

“Why don’t you wear a suit?”

It’s simple. They’re going after the Department of Education to take money from your kids’ schools to give tax breaks to billionaires.

As a former teacher, I'm sick of their bluster and obfuscation. Show your work!

Maybe it’s the parent/teacher in me, but it’s pretty darn cool to see kids dressing as Elphaba and finding power in her story. 10/10. Can’t wait to see it again.

There is nothing like shopping at Kohl’s with a midwestern mother who has coupons.
