1. At the end of the school year as teachers were wrapping up their remaining IEPs or trying to hold amendments, I had several say that they were having trouble getting parents to respond to meeting notices and calls. And it got me wondering how many of those parents might be undocumented

Why so surprised?

Karoline probably post-it noted this one in. Noem's voicemail box was probably full ... and Karoline wanted her gone before Colonizers Day.

That way, there's more turkey & raisins potato salad for her.

OK, take two on the cranberry jalapeño sauce. Thank you Trader Joe's for the non-bug cranberries! I did quadruple wash them for good measure and used a brand new bag of sugar to be extra safe. And I simmered them a little longer to make it less chunky this year.

Nena and I took the ferry from Coronado to Broadway Pier and walked down to Seaport Village this afternoon. One of our favorite tourist activities to do in our beautiful city. It was a perfect San Diego day!

This, right here.

This is why I go so hard at white women.

WE hold up the patriarchy, the power structure of racist oppression.

If WE'D stop voting for Republicans, their hold would break.

I include myself because I'm a white woman born into racist privilege.

Today was rough. It was the third anniversary of R's passing. But I made it through the day. Sort of as I had to keep checking my emotions. Nena and I went to the store to get what I needed to make jalapeño cranberry sauce for Friendsgiving at work on Friday.

We bitching about the Epstein Files, but basically let “quiet piggy” slip into nothing. Nothing since no kings march. But again I ask, “Schumer and Jeffries” are the problem? How can I take you seriously when you’re not taking America seriously. Stop blaming and start doing, you know, like when

1/? White women: Your demographic is a hot ass mess. I have a family member in the hospital right now. The roommate, who is a woman, just said: "I would never vote for a woman president because there are so many countries around the world who don't respect women, it would be a distraction." WTF???!!

I’m starting my annual reminders of turkey thaw times.

Some of y’all might be surprised that you should be starting TODAY 😂

I say this because you’ll want to give yourself time to season the turkey for a day or 2. Nobody wants an unseasoned or dry turkey.
