I did a thing 😏

You are never more urgently needed as a mom than the second your butt hits the toilet seat.

When you only intended to pick the kids up from the bus but then realize you need to grab some groceries for dinner real quick & you end up Out In The World™️ in your Only At Home™️ clothes

What amazes me that in a world where laypeople can create AI videos of bears & rabbits jumping on trampolines that are good enough to convince millions, the White House cannot even pretend to create a deep fake or AI image or “proof of life” photo beyond a distant, blurry, clearly poorly made one.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Hello! Hi! Anyone out there?! It’s been forever since I popped on here. I broke my foot in early April which led to 4.5 months off work, 10 weeks non-weight bearing & everything in my life was on hold. But I’m finally back at work, back to morning walks & really missing having this community!

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Given my family's experience with COVID over the last week, there are A LOT of people out and about right now COVID positive.

Day 12 since breaking my foot & full time living on the couch - I’ve finished 8 books so far! My dog has been a wonderful companion & our friends & family have been wonderful about bringing food & helping with the kids. Only 10 weeks left…. 🙃

Broke my foot last Friday & had surgery to place a screw today. Out of work for 12 weeks. Any tips for being non-weight bearing for six weeks appreciated. Also, any book recommendations always welcome. ❤️

All of this.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

“There is no bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.” I said to myself on my walk in the -17° wind chill this morning. 😉

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

My new badge reel 😂

I just saw a comment “Thinking the Trump administration is only going to last four years is like thinking COVID was only going to last a few weeks.” 😭

Hi, I’m Becca and I’m so excited to be here!

I wish there were a universal “I see you, thank you” look that masked people could share because currently I alternate between avoiding eye contact entirely because I’m awkward & looking too long hoping to catch their eye because, again, I’m awkward. All that to say: thank you, fellow maskers.

I’m generally an audiobook or podcast person, always something in my earbuds but lately with ✨The Horrors✨ I’ve been so overstimulated so I switched to listening to simply soft & peaceful classical music. My goodness. My heart rate, my stress level, my sanity…so. much. better. Highly recommended.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

Exactly. No is a complete sentence

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

We’re focused on feeding our kids. Investing in our schools. Making sure child care is affordable. Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

Recently I saw a friend in the most gorgeous purple KN95 mask so I asked where she got it & ordered my own. I’m excited! They’re so pretty!

It’s interesting how I keep hearing “everyone is sick,” everyone is coughing” & “I’ve never been that sick-it was awful!!” & yet I still see so few fellow maskers out in the world. Do people still refuse to believe that masking helps? Even super liberal, educated, science-minded folx….not masking.

I am equal parts paying attention & horrified while also actively dissociating & then feeling guilty for finding joy while checked out. It’s fine.

Always a Black woman who has to save us.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Perfectly captured.

Democratic lifeguard sitting in their lookout chair and pointing at a struggling swimmer: “oh my god he’s drowning! How awful!”

Remember folks, RFK Jr isn't a scientist or a doctor. He's a guy with opinions. He refuses to believe proven science. He's a fucking douche-nozzle is what I'm getting at. He's the same caliber as any of trump's other picks: pure shit and completely unqualified.

My 10 year old is getting her tonsils out today. Any tips from parents/caregivers who’ve been through it? I’ve been repeatedly told to stay on top of pain meds around the clock & keep her hydrated so we’ll certainly do that! Also please no horror stories about secondary bleeds 🙃

What was the best part of your day today?

Civil rights were won through protests and lawsuits and literally fighting back. We are not in unprecedented times. We are in a horrible reboot of Reconstruction. Fight in every way possible. Flood those anti DEI tiplines with misinformation, spend 10 minutes every day telling your reps to stop this

What was the best part of your day today?

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Don’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask. You’re protecting your health & the health of your community. You’re helping ease the burden on our healthcare system. You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable

Has anyone had gum grafting done? How did it go? How long were you off work?

As best you can, ignore him.

I have so many feelings about the last few days but I know there is nothing he loves more than to be the center of attention, all eyes on him, everyone talking about him, everyone reacting (good or bad) to his every move...so I'm not talking about the last few days because fuck him.

I threw a bowl of boiling water off the back deck & it immediately turned to snowy steam. Amazing. This weather is kinda fun 😂

Permanent mood.
