Post Pride Parade libations!

Reminder, some Queer folks are in straight looking relationships. They’re still queer. #HappyPride!

Gm world, minus the racist, criminal misfits who honor an orange a$$hole, n don’t honor the constitution, nor their oaths, SCROTUS 6, n the Gestapo aka ICE. I am so happy to live in a sanctuary city. Maga, kick rocks.

Good morning! Headed to the Chicago Pride Parade!

I want everyone to know I was a grownup & ate my leftovers from last night’s Chinese instead of ordering new takeout.

I should get dressed & check out the local street fair today. I’m just so damn tired…

Good morning!

What’s your PERSONAL recession indicator? Mine is price watching toiletries. I skipped the single Dove Advanced Care coconut scent for the 2 pack of the regular Dove “fresh” scent. I usually just grab what I prefer.

She barely set foot in Evanston DURING her campaign.

If we elected Kamala Harris, you could afford gas in your car.

Mel Brooks is 100 today. Drop a gif of your favorite of his films to celebrate

Forgot my husband & youngest were going to the White Sox game. So cozy sweats & takeout it is!

We need #Pride because we do not have the same privileges you straight people take for granted. There are literally only a few places in the entire world where gay couples don't have to be hyper-vigilant and aware of their safety when it comes to something as simple as holding hands.

We are riding in a float for Chicago Pride on Sunday with husband’s work & THANKFULLY this year they scrapped the red baseball hats. I know their logo was red & white first but red ball hats are ruined forever.

I don’t think “jokes” implying Melania was trafficked by Epstein are funny. She’s a bad person for MANY reasons, but bad things happen to bad people and those things are STILL BAD. Human trafficking is NEVER GOOD, even if you hate the victim, too. (Stop making me defend bad people dammit!)

Good morning!

Good morning!

Let’s not leave out the fact that Rep Cammack did NOT want this to see the light of day, no matter how powerful people think it is. 👇

When I heard Trump was gonna sign our housing bill, I ran down in excitement! But he was nowhere to be found…. Trump refuses to sign a bill that would make housing cheaper for you because he rather make voting harder for you!

Good morning!

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

Good morning!

Your family doesn’t celebrate by sliding down the Picasso in Daley Plaza? Weird.

We had a WONDERFUL family day. My nephew is legally & forever William David Wilson & we’re so happy he chose us to be his family. I’m also completely exhausted.

Good morning! It’s my nephew, Willie D’s special day!!! I’m so happy he chose me to be his aunt forever!!!

Janet Jackson’s If I Was Your Girl may be the perfect pop song.

YOU ARE A BETTER FATHER THAN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I lost my dad in 2004, but his most dad coded take was that I couldn’t get my drivers license until I could change a tire, pump gas, check & add all needed fluids, use jumper cables & demonstrate getting myself out of snow but also insisted on doing all those things for me.

My word, is my life full of great dads! God bless the dudes who take on the Schroeder women. 💗💗💗

My poor brother & SIL are having the hardest travel weekend. Please cross everything you’ve got for a smooth day Monday.

Sometimes I pull myself together…

Good morning. I really need to buy coffee.

And E just scammed me out of an extra $20 this week & had to remind her I’m NOT her mom & she doesn’t need to fib to get me to take what she needs or wants seriously. But we’re not telling my husband. It’s handled…

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom doesn’t always come all at once. Sometimes people have to fight for it, demand it, and make this country live up to its promises.

We've lost a legend: James Burrows, one of the greatest sitcom directors in TV history, has passed away at the age of 85, per People magazine.

I just drank way too much Prosecco way too fast.

#FamilyDinnerJune2026 🧵 Ok y’all…this is going to be a thread of articles about the history of Juneteenth and where we are today as a country. Some articles have paywalls but I’ve done my best to try to use the paywall free versions after the original article. www.vox.com/the-highligh...

Sometimes the internet teaches you cool things. Like making a mimosa with a popsicle.

You know, if Trump was serious about distracting from the opening of the Obama Center yesterday, he could have just died… no commitment to the bit. Typical Republican…

Weather in Dallas cancelled my brother’s flight so I don’t get to squeeze my niece & nephews until tomorrow. 😩 disappointed but also safety first.

Good morning!

My guilty pleasure is Sweet Magnolias and I can’t quite explain this dumb show but my daughter called it “Hallmark After Dark” and it’s so accurate.

Just to brag on my high school Queen of Peace sister, her glorious niece was the young woman who introduced Michelle Obama at today’s festivities.

Good morning!

Watching Erika Kirk not dating on dates with Jordan on Summer House. The dumbest lie she could have told as it was on TV & dating in your 20s is super normal.

The thing about being a Chicagoan in the summer is I’m really excited for the Obama Center opening but also really dreading that I have to cross to that side of the city for something else that day. The traffic is gonna suuuuuuuuck.

Good morning!

I broke my own rule & posted a news story about racist harm to a child. I try to keep my side of the skyline a safe & friendly space & messed up. I’m sorry. Reminding myself that being a respite is really important, especially in this awful time.

I’m so relieved my ASD guy is out of school. This man shouldn’t be in charge of a hamster.

I find it fascinating that evangelicals will quote every chapter & verse of the bible EXCEPT the Sermon on the Mount. Which, by my Catholic upbringing, is pretty much the most important part. Like couldn’t make my Confirmation until I could write it from memory important.
