Me waking up from a morning nap telling my husband I just had a dream about him. My story telling gets increasingly detailed and boring. “Hold on I’m going to throw up” and then he throws up. Only acceptable response hearing someone’s dream. In fairness we’ve all been recovering from a stomach bug

Stories from the household. Me convincing my 7 year old she doesn’t actually want any broken limbs. Me: “Who is the prettiest person in the car?” My daughters “me” My husband “me” My son “Mommy!”

I guess this is the porn we deserve.

What being a parent is like. Celeste: “Look at the doggie over there!” Wyatt: “Where?” Me to myself, how cute they’re having a little conversation with themselves. C: “Right there.” W: “it’s not fair Celeste can see the doggie.” C: “It is fair!” Me: sigh

My husband got me a cake that said Happy 34th Mommy! And I said to him it’s not 4, it’s 3. He said yeah, I transposed it! And it took me a moment to realize, oh fuck, I’m not in my 30s.

I think Texas is the only state with an X in the name.

My 7 year old is dancing to God Blessed Texas in her recital and keeps calling pills “peels”. Austin is definitely still in Texas.

The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.

Today was the day Donald Trump finally became president? *taps 🎤* *stares into the abyss*

My 7 yo daughter said to be “BYEEEE SIIIKEE” An hour later I used sike to her, correctly may I add as it’s important to model correct grammar. Her response? “😕 Where did you learn that?” 6,7 little lady!!

In a hotel hearing the person above is awaken and frantically run to their phone to turn off the alert on their phone. Oddly comforting shared experience.

One of the grimmest things I’ve read in this hellscape.

My 5 year old wants to put money in the eggs for the Easter egg hunt for his preschool. His opening bid was $10 per egg. We are continuing to negotiate.

What is the plural possessive of Lowe’s? Lowes’s?

Conversation with my 5 yr old “Why world are we going to?” What? “When we got on the airplane, which world?” Oh, you mean state. We’re going to Virginia. “Oh, cool. Is that the one with the rings around it?”

I lived 3 lives this morning at the airport, all before 6 a.m.

The best part about three kids is there’s always one snitching.

Trying to tame the existential crisis around war, politics, aging, and out of control tech with art: movies, books, visual.

Dalllas County is Crockett’s constituents and Williamson county includes Talarico’s. What’s up Republicans’ sleeves in the Fall?

I strategized voting R in primary against Paxton because I hate him. Then I read Paxton will less likely win than Cornyn. I couldn’t do it even though I’m happy with either D Senator candidate. Ultimately, I had to vote for my girl Pooja Sethi who knocked on my door and hugged me. #texasprimary

Settle this fight between my daughter and I. Whose night is worse? The dog who got skunked or the humans who have to clean her?

Can anyone who is subjected to this administration’s policies really think their motivation is to help the people, much less the Iranian people? Come the fuck on.

It’s only getting worse

Read her book if you haven’t yet!

The thing about your daughter being exactly like your husband … is the joy you get when they annoy each other in the same way he’s annoyed you your whole relationship.

Tech has changed so much in the past 4 years. As a manager, I’m less so framing conversations around claiming the ladder and more so around career growth and relevancy. And I can’t give that guidance with a high amount of confidence.

Hey cool, I didn’t realize the state of the union address was happening until now

Adults are unwell. I will never coach a kids sports team again.

I informed my family I’m going to marry Bad Bunny. My 7 year old was concerned that I don’t speak his language. I’m glad she’s more worried about our communication challenges and not my polygamy.

Can you imagine the impact of a good political ad after the half time show? Entertainers are better politicians than these guys in office.

Ok so the little boy was him as a kid like I originally thought then?

I understood very few words but am 🥺. Powerful, full of love and culture.

“In the olden times they made really pretty clothes.” - my 7 year old while playing with her American Girl doll clothes from 1954.

A journalist’s 84 mother was kidnapped and our general response is “that’s weird”.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Thank you @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for bringing Liam back to his friends and families. He endured more than any 5-year-old ever should. Now more than ever, we need to get ICE out of Minnesota.

tell me five classes you took in college Intro to Women’s Studies Postwar Japan Mediterranean Musical Mosaic New England Poetry Freshman Seminar Algorithms And I was a computer science major.

How do I make my Slack message clear to my colleagues that my water heater broke halfway through my shower and I know my hair looks weird? There’s gotta be an emoji.

I made my Covid dreams come true during this winter storm and made banana bread.

I can tell when my mind is on overdrive when a coffee helps you take a nap.

That murder fucked me up today. The fact that you have to watch videos of murder to make sure you can trust your eyes instead of the government lies is horrendous on so many levels.

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

2026 is snuggling with your kids on the couch during an ice storm watching Gabby’s Playhouse movie while reading about the government murdering a VA nurse in the middle of the street.

Protester in Minnesota: I’m 70 years old and I’m fucking angry *disappears into gas*

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage. Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

As the bill moves to the Senate, Democrats have a responsibility to draw a line. Putting actual guardrails on ICE is the bare minimum here. Allowing Trump’s brutal secret police force to operate with essentially a blank check is unacceptable.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

Today, Minneapolis had their annual Powderhorn Art Sled Rally. A community organized event that this time featured de-Icer sleds and bowling pins named for world leaders. A very Minnesotan way to protest ICE. 😍🙌🏻

I have family under siege from the feds in Minneapolis, but they and their neighbors are feeding, warning and protecting others who are fearful to leave their homes. The community is one big family that refuses to be divided by ICE or hate.
