I once again regret to report that "I'll get to this when things slow down around here" is not a winning strategy.

I'm a little late to this, but let's get back to what old-Twitter was all about and #ShareYourWishlist ❤️🎄 (drop yours in comments for me!) www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I've said it before and I will say it again: *we live in the dumbest timeline*

This is her favorite thing. Purring. Content. I cannot explain it.

Seeing snow plows with their blades *up* fishtailing because the roads are so bad is certainly a sight to behold. Like...you have the solution, my guy. You can use it *at any time*

You know when you have a thing in your house, and you KNOW you have that thing, and you need that thing, but it is nowhere to be found, and you *could* go and just buy another of that thing, but that seems ridiculous when YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THE THING

Hello! It is me with your annual thanksgiving eve reminder to RUN YOUR DISHWASHER TONIGHT! empty first thing! Tomorrow you will thank tonight you!

Thanksgiving cooking is taken very seriously around here.

Friend: "Hey, miss you, do you have some time off this week to grab coffee and catch up?" Me: "Hi!! I love you, and I would love that! I've also cried three times today thinking about how busy I am, so if I add one more thing I may collapse into dust!" 🙃

Tyler shows love through food. Sometimes, very literally. ❤️

The comments on this extremely niche Chicago Suburbs post are giving me life

We ran out of cat treats yesterday. Friends, there was nearly a RIOT.

Rough day to be any sort of survivor of sexual violence. Solidarity to all of you, please be kind to yourselves

Many of us spend years circling the story we’re afraid to tell. The moment we finally speak it, we discover the room is safer than we imagined. Being witnessed without judgment becomes its own kind of sanctuary. Something sacred rises in that gentleness.

My targeted ads are RUDE

It's almost like someone who is not a journalist shouldn't be put in charge of journalism.

This picture showed up as a "memory" on my phone. Things aren't perfect, and life is filled with a lot of uncertainties. But let this be a reminder (to myself, mostly) that it *can* get better.

Get ya ears off the charger and listen: “I don’t know what I want” doesn’t mean I’m not hungry. It means I’m about two inhales from being violently hangry & lack the executive function to navigate a menu. Know what I like to eat and FEED ME so no one gets hurt.

I don't talk about my dad's death much because sitting in your living room for two weeks while your dad's organs slowly shut down is a horrifyingly traumatic experience. We would have paid any amount of money to end his suffering humanely, and I hope Pritzker signs this bill.

I like to pride myself on being a smart person who enjoys learning, reading, and broadening her horizons, but also? *these times* seem to call for finding an old, crappy TLC reality show with 20 seasons and just rotting to it.

Okay I know this isn't the point, but I could really use this rig to stretch myself out right now 😬😅

🎶🎵 we love when a scoliosis flare happens when we have stuff to get doneeee 🎵🎶

It will never not be weird to see my own work come across Pinterest in the wild 😅

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants. "What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...

I'm almost certain I've posted this before, but the one advantage of working for Rich White Naperville People ™️ is that *there is always tea* and *the goss is ALWAYS GOOD* I'm thrilled to be poor enough that the drama doesn't affect me, but your girl is in to hear about it any time 😜💃

My therapist is moving out of state and probably out of network for insurance COOL COOL COOL

One of these days I will be able to clean a bit at a time so I don't have to spend 12 hours cleaning the day before someone comes over to my house. Today was not that day 🤪

This is what being the hands and feet of Jesus looks like.

Four years down. Look at these impeccably dressed babies who knew nothing 😅 Happy anniversary, Tyler ❤️ can't wait to carve pumpkins and watch a cozy rom com with you.

We drew cats in art class today, and I gave the kids the option to make them Halloween cats. So anyway, Lucy's cat is on fire

We love when the coffee maker we want is 40% off and we think, "that's okay, it can wait till Christmas" and then our coffee maker breaks immediately after the sale is over, totally cool and fine

Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

I'm so weary of the caveats people continue to make to justify government-sanctioned kidnapping. Under a video of a 15-year-old-girl getting thrown to the ground and handcuffed by ICE, the comments read "well, what happened before that?" IT DOES NOT MATTER. SHE IS FIFTEEN.

Every video I've seen of Mike Flood is a master class in what not reading the room looks like

ICE raids were reported at a local college a block away from where I work today. Went over to check things out, and it would appear if anything went down it was over before I got there. Frightening nonetheless. People in the Chicago burbs think they are safe, but they are not. None of us are.

American health insurance is getting your appeal denied 3 months after you claimed it because the treatment "wasn't medically necessary" even though your doctor requested it 👍

I’m. So. Tired. I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

The venn diagram of people who think Bari Weiss is a fair/balanced journalist and people who think Charlie Kirk was a fair/skilled debater is a circle.

Watching my swifties go from "we love her because she's a deep lyricist" to "we love her because these lyrics mean nothing" is wild, glad you all are having fun tho

I’m so struck by this video. A regular day in Logan Square in front of a grocery store and ICE pulls up and tear gassed people. Funston Elementary School is right across the street as well. This is a major corridor in Logan Sq. No concern for human safety Video from: www.reddit.com/r/chicago/co...

We live in a dictatorship and my neighbors are getting kidnapped, and I'm paralyzed to do basic tasks like laundry and making a doctor's appointment, but the Cubs advanced to the NLDS so God Bless America I think

A quick FYI: They have *just* relaunched the online NPR shop with bunches of new stuff, plus some throwbacks and, of course, the Tiny Desk hoodie. So if you are that kind of public media person, there’s some stuff to check out! shopnpr.org

They're just saying words in a random order now

In better news, I found my mom's pie crust recipe 🥧 That's it. That's the only good news I have.

love watching the implosion of this country in real time like I'm supposed to give a shit about anything going on at work

Heard that my old church prayed for Charlie Kirk as a martyr. Went online to see it. They edited the online content to start right after the prayer so there isn't any record of it. How utterly chicken shit. If you're going to embrace the values of a white nationalist, don't hide it?
