Sure you could re-interview a woman who has been convicted of sex trafficking children and sentenced to 20 years in prison while dangling a pardon in front of her OR you could release the Epstein files because you have nothing to hide. I mean, I totally get it. It's a tough choice.

The kids are off to Pink Prom, hosted by Lambert House but not actually at Lambert House. It's somewhere in Seattle. Nik, Madeline, Delayna, and Marek have formed a 90s cover band specifically for this occasion and will be playing an hour long set.

Remember that time Obama wore a bright blue suit and tie to a funeral and then appeared to fall asleep? Oh, wait... no, hold on, wait. That was Trump. And it was yesterday.

SLEEZE BAGS

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

The whims of one person should not be able to have these kinds of whiplash effects on the markets. This is a dangerous and untenable position to be in.

Seen in the wild in one of our second grade classrooms today, Mrs. Carey and her students LOVE these books! @marthabee.bsky.social

We put a banana in front of our address to block it out, because this thing we got in the mail today is BANANAS.

I just submitted my candidacy approval form, which is the first step in the process of lining up my ducks to get my master's degree in library and information systems at the end of Spring 2026.

Useful apps for hard times.

Oh, thanks a whole bunch, Republican senators, for giving us train wreck Linda McMahon as secretary of education. I'm a school employee and the DOE protects our most vulnerable students. Or, I guess I should say, it DID. If the department still exists in 6 months, I'll be shocked.

2 years ago I sold my high mileage, first gen, "nothing fancy" 2013 Tesla Model S for 20K. Today I sold my low mileage "all the bells and whistles" 2015 Tesla Model S for 14K, because Elon Musk sucks. He's probably always sucked, just everyone knows it now. Super glad to be rid of that car.

I watched that utter debacle and I can't believe the restraint shown by Zelenskyy. If that kind of conversation had taken place at ANY BAR IN AMERICA there would have been punches thrown. We would have all known who started it, and we wouldn't feel sorry for the crazy old man with the black eye.

I recommend going to the library today. Or playing Pokemon Go, as long as you don't buy any of their add on games (not today, at least). There is tons to do in Pokemon Go without spending a single cent. Enjoy your day!

Saw some new pics of my perfect children on the interwebs. They are musicians and these were taken at a show at the Funhouse in Seattle yesterday by a photographer named David at Fear City Photography. Their band is Razed by the River and they are amazing and that's not just mom pride talking.

Chris Kluwe arrested at city council meeting for calling out garish MAGA plaque:

I donated blood today, because it is a good and selfless thing to do that I'm capable of. Over the years, I've donated a few gallons. I wonder if I've donated more blood than Trump and every member of his cabinet put together? I bet I have.

My wonderful critique partner Jennifer Bardsley has a new book out today! Slow Burn is clean/wholesome small town enemies to lovers firefighter romance. It's a great escape from the world we live in right now, and you can support an indie author! #BookSky 💙📚 www.amazon.com/Slow-Burn-Je...

Excited that I got my youngest's second meningitis vaccine scheduled for Wednesday and after that all childhood vaccinations for my kids will be done. Incredibly saddened that I'm so thrilled by this because getting childhood vaccinations will be difficult/impossible in the not too distant future.

Aw, Mitch McConnell was the sole republican no vote on Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation? How does it feel to lose control of the monster you created, Mitch? Not very good, eh?

Of course Steve Bannon would plead guilty! Why spend all that money on lawyers when you can cut to the chase, get a verdict, and then get pardoned for it? It's just simple math, people.

How could we have possibly predicted that a reality star from Road Rules wouldn't make a great Transportation Secretary?

My kids' band Trash Fairy played a sold out show at the Vera Project last night. My son Nik is the drummer, my daughter Madeline is the guitarist (though she was randomly playing bass on this song, but my other videos were crap.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=S26P...

#BookSky what are you reading right now, what was the last thing you read before that, and which do you like better? I'll go first: Right now: Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, Right before: James. Like better: James! 💙📚

Hi! I'm an author with 23 books out (some under a pen name), and in about a year I'll have my MLIS which is kinda a dream come true. Most of my books have a dystopian thread. I love to imagine "what would happen if..." I'm so happy to be here. Did my emojis work? I'm still learning. #BookSky 💙📚

Oooh I just learned about the #BookSky tag and I'm delighted. I write dystopian fiction with a little bit of romance and STRONG female main characters. No simpering idiots here. My most popular book is The Queen Trials. My FAVORITE book I wrote was #5 in The Collapse series, someday I'll tell ya why

An evolutionary biologist says this virus has the "potential to trigger a pandemic that could make covid seem like a walk in the park." #birdflu www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

I just saw a review for the first book in my Queen Trials series that says "This is a book that says 'F* the patriarchy' with its whole entire heart" and I might not have ever been happier about a review in my *whole entire life.*

I have an X account that I never use, I never got into that platform, even before the Musk acquisition when it was Twitter. Sure did feel good to log in just now though so that I could officially deactivate it.

Mmmm… Butter Emails….

I went to Super Bowl 50. During the pregame festivities, Tom Brady was honored. Almost 70,000 people in Levi's Stadium booed their hearts out. It was epic. But friends who watched on TV had no idea. They edited the booing out. Those hoping to hear Trump get booed need a live report from an attendee.

Can you imagine what would have happened if Biden had suggested an ethnic cleansing of Gaza so that the land could be redeveloped into waterfront property? He would have been impeached and institutionalized within 48 hours.

Oh look. Conservative free market/individual liberty think-tank Cato Institute publishes statistics of where fentanyl is coming from, and turns out it's mostly being smuggled in by U.S. citizens. What a shocking surprise. These tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl. www.cato.org/blog/fentany...

I can't find gluten free cookie mix for less than $9.49 a box right now. I haven't given up looking, but I can't spend that kind of money on it. I know we don't NEED cookies but I sure wish my gf kid could have nice things. Thanks, Trump. Wish I'd stocked up while Biden was still in office.

Kindle Vella may be ending, but there's nothing like going out with a bang!

Fantasy, Romance and Poetry books by black authors #booksky #blackbooksky

I work for a public school and I'm also an author. I feel like the only control I have over my own ability to financially survive the next few years is to write more books. [begins writing fifteen new books all at the same time]

It's like America's a bus & an elderly narcissist speed addict is maniacally driving us off a cliff; and we're all staring at each other because 30% of the passengers enjoy that his driving upsets the rest of us.

And here we go with the tariffs. JFC it is so fucking embarrassing to be an American right now. I voted, so I don't take personal responsibility for this guy. Wish more of my like thinkers hadn't been too "busy" to go to the polls that day.

Case: The Mystery of the Missing Forks. I have 5. There should be 12. I believe the culprits to be the teenagers, but the cats have not been eliminated as suspects.

I know I shouldn't be surprised by anything Trump does/says after watching him chuck rolls of paper towels at Puerto Ricans when a hurricane devastated them, but blaming DEI & Biden for a plane crash after HE fired the FAA director & disbanded Aviation Safety Advisory Committee is next level fuckery

I love football, I really enjoy watching the game just for the game itself. But yet again, we have a superbowl where I just absolutely could not care less about the teams. Disappointing.

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

When my side virtue signals, we sell our Teslas. When their side virtue signals, they flash white power signs and wear maxipads on their ears. We are not the same.

After being disappointed by Target's kowtowing, I decided to seek out a new go-to for needs previously met by Target. I have settled on Fred Meyer, owned by Kroger. Who knew Kroger was an okay option? www.supermarketnews.com/foodservice-...
