I've been in a funk for too many days and it's just exhausting.

I told the 12 yo it was a rough day at work so we bought a "just because" cake.

The 16 yo just discovered José Andrés potato chips and now they understand why their sister eats half a bag in one sitting. In other news, we'll be heading to Oakland next weekend to restock.

Trying to get my work done before the little one comes requesting snacks.

Today's loaf

I've gotten into this habit of no longer reaching out to some friends because I don't want to bother them and I'm now seeing the communication really only works when I initiated.

"Ten years from now, a world shaped by Mr. Trump’s aid policies will be meaner and more opaque — one where hunger, preventable diseases and desperation spread. It will be a world in which America stands isolated and friendless." 🎁🔗

Not taking my dad to Kaiser in the morning so I guess I can have another drink 🍻

One drink is my limit for the night.

Being friends with people you supervise can be tricky.

Can't tell if I'm feeling beer or whiskey tonight, but I'm definitely going to have something

I wrote about one of the worst aspects of the Epstein files www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

I borrowed my boyfriend's shorts a while ago. It's cute that he thinks he'll get them back.

Just getting home from work. Might be time for a shower beer.

I absolutely love my job. It's just that some days, I honestly don't know how much longer I can do it.

I'm thinking that being awake from 1:25 AM - 4:00 AM should have been a red flag for the type of day I would have.

Life is the quicksand they warned us about as kids.

Ragnar makes an excellent point.

Just got hit with a wall of panic Definitely feeling overwhelmed by work at the moment.

Enjoying a quiet moment to myself.

We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

Vertical Horizon is playing locally in August and the late 90s are calling my name.

Great night with great company ❤️

Friday night ngl.link/magendac2

What are we having?

You learn something new about people every day

Tonight's dinner

We're almost to Friday and then we'll be almost to the weekend!

I don't understand how it's only Tuesday.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Perfectly stated by President @billclinton.bsky.social. "If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back. "It is up to all of us who believe in the promise of American democracy to stand up, speak out, and show that our nation still belongs to We the People."

Two former presidents felt compelled to comment publicly

I will always take extra time with these two when I can ❤️

Long distance relationships aren't for everyone. It takes a lot of love, patience, and trust. I'm happier than I've been in a long time and it feels wonderful to have someone in my corner who appreciates and loves me for me.

Cheers y'all 🍻

I've shut my office door so I can work.

Despite the rocky start, I had a wonderful end to my workday with a really positive IEP and a chorus of kids saying bye as I left the school 😊

No internet at work. Again.

My 12 yo packed a snack for me 🥰

It's that busy time of year when I continue my work in the evenings and I wish I wasn't doing a dryer January

No, it's not abolish ICE anymore. It's prosecute ICE.

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

Proud mom moment: My 16 yo landed the role of Florence in their spring production of The Odd Couple!

I know things are bad, everyone, but at least we are not still on Twitter.

I can always count on big bro @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social to tell the truth 😂😭

Imagine a Friday that was catching up for a quiet week. That was today.

I am not a fan of assigned seating at meetings.

It's a good thing my 12 yo does not have a Bluesky account because she would be getting all in on that Uncle @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social roasting action
