Any other #nonprofit workers scared shitless from yesterday and started looking (applying?) to other jobs? I love what I do, but my blood pressure can’t handle this. #federalfunding #federalfunds #endoftheworld

One year ago today, my 18 year old son died. What do people do to mark this anniversary? I’m sitting on my couch practically comatose and I have no idea what I’m supposed to do. Thoughts? (I’m also crushingly lonely. This time last year, everyone came over.) #grief #oneyear #whatdoido #grievingmom

Watching SNL. Is his mic broken?

Anyone see a problem here? No? Just me? These were 13 minutes apart. I want to know what happened in those 13 minutes. #tiktokban

I’m so happy to have a couple of poems in the absolutely stunning new issue of @shopoetryjournal.bsky.social, including this one, which took far longer than any of my poems to find its ending (three years)! Thanks so much to the Editors for taking such care with the work in this journal.

Freddie is unsure if he’s being mocked or replaced. #lego #tuxedocat #catpictures #newfriend

Neighborhood watch.

When I found myself staring at my Christmas tree, surrounded by boxes of ornaments and decorations, I thought of this scene from one of my favorite movies. While I am not sick & contemplating my mortality like the main character in this movie, we do have some similarities. Grief is a powerful force.

@cardsagainsthumanity.com Sigh. I was down to 3 minutes and then the dreaded 404 error. Sold out. 😔 Any chance I can get a cubic zirconia potato instead? #blackfriday #cah #diamondpotato

Let me tell you about teenage girls. They suck. Mine’s pretty cool but even she has her moments. Last month, one girl told mine that her former bestie said some awful, awful things about her dead brother (my son). I held her for days. She wouldn’t eat, she wouldn’t sleep. (1)

So those unclaimed property sites from each state are legit. Seriously, check them out. (This sounds so scammy, I know. Who has 2 thumbs and found 5 digits for someone she loves? 👍🏻👍🏻👩🏻‍🦰

Freddie is 8 months old, still chases his tail, and has recently discovered my treadmill.

It’s one of the lesser crimes he’s committed today.

It’s been so long since I was on an app like this. Now I’m questioning if I ever had things to share. Kinda like if someone asked you what your favorite book is and suddenly you don’t know if you’ve ever read a book, or can even read to begin with. #awkwardonbluesky

Poet Jessica Frank bakes Christmas cookies every day for the first 24 days of December. She has been blogging about it since 2012. Now it’s a new cookbook 24 DAYS OF COOKIES. I have no idea how to review a cookbook w/o making the recipes. Maybe I’d better get busy on that. @meanjessica.bsky.social

Hey, I wrote a cookie cookbook. It’s adorable and funny. It’s organized. It’s got a hook. It’s not written by a Republican. Please buy it? #24daysofcookies #author #cookbook #electionweekrelease #christmascookies

So…what’s up? Is this the anti Elon app?
