I’ve seen every Marvel film, opening night, since Iron Man came out. I’ve spent literal thousands of dollars on collectibles, physical media, etc and I’m one goddamn person.

I hope I can live long enough to see Stephen Miller prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for his numerous crimes against humanity. I hope we can all see him sniveling and crying as he's taken to prison.

What it’s like being a mom as told through donuts: I asked rhetorically “which donut should I have?” The younger one put her fingers all one and said “this one”, and then the big one said “that looks good, can I have a bite?” I can’t even get a donut to myself

I just boo’ed and gave a thumbs down to a pair of cops because they didn’t stop for my kid and me to cross in a crosswalk. Fuckin’ jerks

I have no problem getting an MRI probably because it’s 30 minutes of lying down, listening to music, and no one says mom.

I am honestly excited for us all to speculate if Trump is dead every night now. We gotta have a little fun in this life.

Daycare is going up $50 a month. Peoples Gas budget billing is going up $50. ComEd bill has doubled in last couple months. Looks like it’ll be an imagination Christmas this year!

Anyway her name is Bagel

I may have been selected by the cat distribution system! Lil friend has been in our yard since yesterday

Because this is not in 45 any longer, G*rdiner didn’t get to cut the ribbon. I love that
