So it’s early, but I had to lock down this tee for Hubby to wear to Christmas Eve with “mixed family.”

I just overheard the teen talking in his “compassion voice” to his older bro and he said, “The Lord yeeteth and the lord yoinketh away…”

This is the weather to use those leftover Christmas candycanes for making cooling peppermint ice cream. Everyone has those, right?

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

Mark this day. The first news article I have seen speculating the current occupant of the WH will sell off the Smithsonian collections. Been ruminating over this since Nov. 2024.

Good morning and welcome to the birthday of your new 1930s style propaganda state. The Social Security admin of the US government mass mailed this today.

Quote from the teen in the back seat: “If I am not mistaken, Mathurin Brisson is also the French naturalist who ate many rare species of the animals he identified. But it could be another French guy.” #daytripswithteens

I messed with the contrast a little. #mnwx

My ornithologist younger teen just renamed the eagle “the America Pigeon” and if that doesn’t say it all I don’t know what does

A 5.1 magnitude earthquake just struck San Diego County near Julian, California. I hope everyone is ok!

Reading about the Irish mythological warrior demigod Cú Chulainn with my teen, the mane of his magic spear is causing 👀

I lost a dear friend of 25 years today. She didn’t die, she passionately advocated for the destruction of an agency that has protected the rights of my autistic children and others like them their whole lives. Children she claims to love and hold up in prayer. She is dead to me and it hurts.

An appropriate anti-depressant lunch for the times we live in

2. Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and bring the independent mail agency under his administration’s control.

Morning headlines from @aaronparnas.bsky.social read like a MAD TV news spoof but in the most unfunny way possible.

Listening to my elder teens discuss Vocaloid 6 and remembering that I am 1,000 years old with no marketable skills.

Disabled MN supported you and you betrayed us @governorwalz.mn.gov

Lying under a heated throw in the half dark eating cereal moistened only by your tears while staring into space is inauguration eve peak mood.

Phone numbers I know: -My childhood home phone -My cell -My husband’s cell -My kids’ pediatrician -The number for a Ramsey Co Hospital health line that came out when I was 9 which had pre-recorded messages you could listen to on topics such as “lumps and bumps on arms and legs” and “body lice”

It’s my Alma mater and former employer and I can tell you wowzer do many of the little administrative gangs and tightly knit departments institution like a vendetta.

Wait…is MN sushi just the cold guts of a Cuban sandwich rolled up?

My teen just pointed out if Canada bought us we could be Canasota. 🥤

I don’t want to be a language snob, but are we really going here? The rapper spelling is superseding the traditional now?

When this comes for Christmas it is how you know your California bestie loves you.
