My 14yo shared an uncomfy social situation with me and I offered the old “you can always use me as an excuse if you don’t want to do something.” She looked at me like I was a dinosaur and said, “Why would I lie when I can just tell her it’s a bad idea and I’m not doing it?” No Fs to give 😂🥰

Fixing things will require us to reel in the oligarch class, remove their ability to influence politics, and redistribute their hoarded wealth Until we do so, nothing can fundamentally change for anyone

My 14yo asked me if I’d ever heard of the movie My Girl, so I responded by reciting Veda’s Ice Cream poem. 🥰

ICYMI: The House Appropriations Committee voted 35-25 yesterday to advance a bill that would underfund WIC and cut fruit and vegetable benefits for almost 5.4 million toddlers, preschoolers, new moms & pregnant women in low-income families.

‼️URGENT MUTUAL AID REQUEST‼️ A 7 yo in our community w/ type 1 diabetes is in need of a new insulin pump. I’m trying to collect $500 for a down payment so the pump can get shipped ASAP. Thanks for considering- Venmo @paige-perriello (last four 2100).

anyway now i live in a blue town in virginia bc you bastards made my home unsafe for my children. you drive us out--you close our hospitals, victimize our queer kids, pollute our water, take our bodily autonomy-- then claim to speak for us??? that's what my mama calls a lotta damn gall

Got yelled at twice by angry white men before 8am this morning….Vote YES, Virginia!

Imagine just now stopping to consider that/why women are angry?

JD Vance killed the Pope, the Iran peace deal, and Victor Orban's campaign

I just refilled the feeders, so currently on my porch are: a cardinal, a chickadee, a pair of finches, two bluebird families (each tucked into their own house), and one grumpy weimaraner (grumpy because he’s separated from the others by a screen).

My God. This is probably the best oration I've *ever* heard from an American elected official. So much more than "Happy St. Patrick's Day."

Happy Pi Day to all who celebrate!

Is he literally taking his cues from Colin Jost at this point?

We can't make an appointment to be seen in the specialty care clinic at UVA, where we've been a patient for over 7 years. The NP is helping us to manage care at home with consultation from the doc, but the wait list to be seen in the clinic is so long they're no longer adding patients to it. (1/4)

Hey, Christians! More of this, less of whatever trad/nationalist bullshit some of y’all are getting caught up in. But sorry, Pastor, I adore the name “loads of love.” Never change 🥰

The first Halloween costume he chose for himself was “fireman.” His first favorite show was Fireman Sam. His “big boy room” had fire truck decals on the wall and a firehouse bookcase, complete with fireman pole. Today, my little boy joined the volunteer fire department of his college town. 🥹

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

DO NOT LET ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WALK AROUND THINKING THEIR CONSTITUENTS DON’T CARE

boycott that shit, Tim

Wild that a sitting member of Congress, a Republican no less, feels compelled to post this.

I haven’t seen this announced through any official/campaign channels, but he’s sharing it with his friends. In case anyone wants to go and say hi.

Because IDs are used to protect the general public from the anti-social misuse of guns and alcohol. Nobody needs to be protected from their neighbor's vote. In his mind drinking, shooting, and voting are all on the same list of the "most important things you can do as Americans."

Last night I put out the call for gas cards to help a few students identified by our school counselors get to/from school and activities. By the time I woke up this morning, I had over $400 in donations. Obsessed with my generous community. 🥹😭🥰

Every new episode of Good Hang with Amy Poehler becomes my new favorite. This one is no different. 🥰 m.youtube.com/watch?v=spAl...

Midterms are coming! Vote for honesty and integrity in the (current) VA-05, not whatever this is.

Imagine crashing out over a performance about history and love? Sad.

Even he didn’t watch the alternative halftime show lol

Together we are America 🥹 Thank you, Benito 🫶

Ahh, yes. That’s the word. Much better than my attempt… “Gross, I hate how they’re….youthenizing… those actors.”

You can tell a lot about a person by watching how they interact with children…and how kids respond to them.

May they all be booed, loudly and with hand gestures, wherever they may go, for as long as they all may live. Amen.

The DOJ’s arrest of Don Lemon, A JOURNALIST, is a blatant attempt to intimidate free speech going against the most fundamental 🇺🇸 values outlined in the 1st A. They wouldn’t open an investigation into the ICE officers who killed Keith Porter, Renee Good or Alex Pretti. THIS IS AUTHORITARIANISM.

Charging a Black journalist under the KKK Act for reporting on a protest is a whole new level of fucked up.

White House with image of a Black man and an emoji of chains. And the chosen image is of Don Lemon doing journalism.

Time for the MAHA anti-vax raw milk detox trad wives to enter the chat!

Abolish AND prosecute ICE

We could have had nice things

Kill a mother in cold blood, kidnap the cutest little kid I have seen all week in a fucking pokemon hat, the cutest possible hat, then arrest a bunch of clergy members?! Of multiple kinds of faith practices? Do they have a comeuppance kink or something? like wtf do they think is going to happen??

I called my Rep, John McGuire, to urge him to vote no on the DHS bill. After explaining why I opposed funding these agencies, his aide…without a TRACE of insincerity…THANKED ME for EXPLAINING what is HAPPENING in MINNESOTA AND ELSEWHERE to him. Does McGuire even know what he’s voting on?

I want more audience reaction shots from this WEF ramble.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

When an elderly patient, with or without dementia, has become a danger to themself or others, it’s the family’s responsibility to take away the proverbial keys, establishing boundaries and restrictions to ensure safety.

Biological female gives biological male her trophy and assures him that he is a winner.

“And Greenland?” Shameless.

I frew up

And, just like that, it’s a 3-day weekend. 🥰❄️🥰❄️
