Actual moose. Mommy aka Bruh. Retired army science officer. Did some cool stuff once but now I'm old and tired. Science strategist most recently doing research development and programs. Opinions are my own.
We just survived an emergency, interim, final protective order, AND appeal hearings. My abuser ex hired a criminal lawyer who kept issuing subpoenas for my non-witness 10yo to testify. I was already deeply concerned about the effects of these hearings on my abused teen, but to make a 10yo testify!!!
Family law lawyer here. Please do not do this to your child(ren). There are other options, & your kids deserve joyful memories.

My birthday is the day after Christmas. My parents' custody decree said that whichever parent I spent Christmas with, I had to spend my birthday with the other one. I spent every Christmas night traveling. From ages 8-14, that was flying across the country alone. So yeah, I've always hated holidays.

I was visiting some folks in Arlington National Cemetery today. One of the staff chatted with me for a few minutes, he was very kind. Also a veteran. He got it. He thanked me for talking, he felt conversation was a lost art these days. And you know? It helped brighten me up a bit, vet to vet.

There's something so... disturbing about MAHA using incredibly low, low rates of adverse reaction to justify putting what are obviously harm reducing medications from people
trying to start a moral panic and the stories are all like “the ADHD meds really helped but didn’t solve everything”

If someone urges the military to not follow **illegal orders** and your response is that it is a “call for rebellion,” you are de facto admitting that you are issuing **illegal orders.**
Also, I stand by my assertion that no one has ever had a more punchable face than Stephen Miller.

Stephen Miller on a PSA reminding troops to not follow unlawful orders: "It is insurrection ... It's a general call for rebellion from the CIA and the armed services of the United States by Democrat lawmakers."

Was in a position where I needed to remain in the Shut The Fuck Up position while some raving lunatic doddered on about mTBI diagnosis.
When he got to use of MRI to diagnose, I meant to say it under my breath but I blurted out “factually incorrect”

Thanks to the Epstein files, all of America knows what a Discharge Petition is.
Here's another one that's reached 218 signers-- the Protect America's Workforce Act, that would undo Trump's unlawful anti-union executive orders.
Call your Congresscritters to support it.

The bureaucracy started in on its bullshit at 0730 today, so, that’s going about as well as one could expect.

So, wait. For basically ever, men were earning way more than their female counterparts, and the messaging was that women were "too emotional" or whatever. And the second women start earning more than men, men completely lose their shit and it's a "crisis" "gripping" them? What a bunch of losers.
