Woke up with a cold today, wonder which of the 3 hospital wings I've spent time visiting recently is responsible for it. 🤣😭🤣😭

LOL, 4 days later, Family Member 1 went to ER. I very nearly could not go in with them because I didn't have ID - came directly from a run when I go the call. I get the security concerns. But this is the EMERGENCY room. Surely, people often come here who didn't have a lot of advance planning!

I signed up for USPS mail forwarding one month ago and have received NO MAIL forwarded from our old address. That feels fine.

I think it's good that when someone wants bariatric surgery, there's mental health assessment and support for the patient. I think it's also absurd the same isn't baked into the process of having your whole damn stomach removed to save your life.

Remind me why places want to host the World Cup? This is a nightmare for transit in the region. abc7ny.com/post/nj-tran...

I've attended two different family members in two different hospitals this week and I would very much like to not add any more.

Now, you might say, "What about all the knowledge we'd lose if we push all the abusive geniuses out of academia?!" But I'd counter and say, "Well, what about the knowledge we've already lost from the budding scholars whose careers they've derailed with their abuse?"

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

Oh wow I keep just crying with the rocket launch coverage. Every new commentator they have on makes me cry again. What a thing to share.

Two weeks ago we moved our family after a prolonged and stressful sale and purchase. One week ago I traveled for a work presentation. Tomorrow is my kid's birthday, next week is a loved ones cancer surgery, the following week I travel to run a conference where I present. I am struggling.

the NCAA uploaded raw footage of the UConn buzzer-beater from every camera CBS had in the building to youtube (will drop in the replies) and the best part has to be this hard pan to Dan Hurley's mom yelling HOLY FUCKING SHIT followed by a synchronized simultaneous HOLY SHIT by both Hurley parents

Someone help me out here- what was Fulop's plan if he had won the Governors race and this complete disaster of his making was found while he was sitting in Trenton?

I'm running 10 miles May to fundraise for @childrensphila.bsky.social and would be so grateful for your support! CHOP does absolutely incredible work not just in this region for but families who come from all over for specialized care. chop.donordrive.com/participants...

This is absolutely INCREDIBLE

I have never been less excited to fly out of an NYC-area airport than I am this week, and that is truly saying something.

Posted about giving away our used moving boxes and 27 people reached out in 12 hours. That is...wild.

Just had the massively satisfying experience of unpacking books written by friends on to a bookcase built by my husband.

My hot take having finally just had the eight million items needed to transfer my kids to a new school district: Anyone out here "stealing" education in a district has put in the work and Earned it.

You know the rule

My parents are daily newspaper readers and gave us old papers to use for wrapping things for our move. A fun bonus has been learning about my mother is *very* good at crossword puzzles

Not sure if others with pregnany loss in their history can relate- 6 years later, I'm surprised to find myself reliving my loss every spring, but it's starting to feel more like it's because I'm honoring our journey and the time together and not just straight up grief?

What the hell is this in the middle of this CBS piece on the Michigan synagogue attack? First person, misspellings, "this India" as if a person...? www.cbsnews.com/news/synagog...

EXCLUSIVE: @standupforscience.bsky.social sent an investigator to Guinea-Bissau and shared their unpublished findings with members of Congress. I obtained a copy of that report, which details how deeply the researchers are enmeshed - and what that means for US: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

crime dog you gotta find some better wording for this

I'm a very open person and sometimes I struggle with how much of my personal life to share in my work life. But I highly recommend that if you are going through a stressful move, you be open with people about that because my God is everyone understanding and supportive

What does it mean when McDonald's flies their flag at half mast? Can someone check in on Grimace and Ronald?

I've worked in early childhood research for 15 years and I still don't understand the common decision not to list child care prices on a providers website. I wouldn't tour an apartment not knowing if it was in my budget, why would I do that for childcare?

This is important and urgent. I had to stop several times to compose myself.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline. I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate. Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

For @ms.now I wrote about how progressive in the NC statehouse primary sent a warning to centrist Dems with a penchant for collaborating with Republicans on culture war issues like ICE and trans issues. www.ms.now/opinion/nort...

Weight is complicated- but if you are a medical office that has previously commented on weight *gain*, you should be legally required to then applaud me for weight loss. You weren't so neutral last time I stepped on the scale!

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Reading up ahead of a loved one's full gastrectomy (stomach removal). The focus on getting calories by any means necessary (add butter or bacon bits, etc) is so wild to process in a world where calories are treated as an enemy.

Really truly had no idea the difference was this stark.

We got a letter home from the school today with both the district and our school's information on it about the process to opt your child out of the upcoming School Climate survey. We tend to get most notices Eng & Span. This one - to opt out of research - was English only. 😬😬😬

Medical experiments on prisoners? Where have we seen this before?

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Yesterday's collection for kids items for families impacted by ICE was incredible. Something I hope sticks with me: the scent of fresh laundry detergent as I folded and sorted items. People took the extra step of preparing these clothes just like they were for their own children. ❤️

I'm bawling.

We want to see this multi planetary alignment tonight- I could go for some wonder and awe. Does anyone have a recommendation for good spots in New Jersey with a view of the western horizon?

My hottest fashion take is that kids jeans should just be *jeans.* Do not make me figure out if my child should be wearing bootleg or skinny or "90s baggy." Please.

I deeply appreciate all the survey data we collect on economic and job impacts as a result of our broken child care system, but I think we also need some questions on the human impact: How many times have you broken down crying at your desk because of a child care issue in the last 30 days?

This day 5 years ago, I was running a 400 person virtual conference because of COVID precautions (with no experience doing virtual events) from a hotel room because of work being done to our house while 8 months pregnant as my husband took our 4yo to the mall in a mask so I could have the room.

Shoutout to the Hudson County Parks Department for cleaning our paths so I could stick to my training schedule! A gentle 3 miles as I train for the Broad Street 10 Miler in May. I'm fundraising for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia! chop.donordrive.com/participants...

My anxiety level cannot handle watching people trying to dig out and drive down our unplowed street. Our neighbor literally drives a fire truck for a living and this is a challenging feat for him today.

Pro tip: dunking becomes easy if there's two feet of snow on the court Dribbling becomes a nightmare but man did I feel cool hanging from the rim for my kids.

7 year old to 4 year old: “This isn’t your business.” 4 year old: “I don’t even have a business.”
