Mom of two, self employed, happily single, very blue in a deep red state. Wish I could do more to make this world a better place but I am mostly just hanging on for the ride.
My daughter graduated with her bachelors in microbiology/biochemistry from OSU last night. At the ceremony, Oklahoma speaker of the house Kyle Hilbert gave a commencement speech in which he told all the graduates that the most important thing they could do was to make babies. It was so gross.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.
