Mexico is inventing new plastic out of cactus and the US is dismantling science standards.

I need a list of media that isn’t right owned. Is that only international now?

What a time for my kids to not be nepo babies.

I’d like one less hour of today, not yesterday.

Has a trade war ever worked out for the US?

There’s an East Ohio town that has students with incredible reading abilities. One thing they do is put readers in the level they are- so a 5yo reading at 3rd grade level would go to 3rd for reading. Amazing

Who knew that my son having an extra measles vax would be a flex some day.

Imagine admitting that you accidentally cancelled Ebola prevention and still having a job.

What did your college kid do today?

What are you all doing with more than a dozen eggs a week? We don’t even go through one.

Why is the Dept of Ed asking when we’re filling out the FAFSA when we already did.

TN farmers speaking out about their cancelled federal contracts is a FO Chefs Kiss. To be clear, I’m not happy for them but saw one *almost* admit that he didn’t know these bad things were for his kind too.

I don’t mean to brag but neither of my kids are baptized.

Guess I’ll make guacamole today for dinner. Avocados are only for billionaires after tariffs.

If you’re going to post something with a disclaimer of “I didn’t fact check this” then how about you just don’t post it.

Today a girl on a scooter rode past me and said “Hola!” And I said “Hola! Como Esta!?” It’s not that hard, people.

I asked my son if he ever used AI for school (UChicago.) He said not even once. Hasn’t even been tempted.

Asked my husband if he wanted to take a road trip to get a 3 foot doll and he was like- let’s go

That’s how you get to 30 years

There were half as many marshmallows in my Lucky Charms cereal than there should be. Shrinkflation unlucky charms.

My sons college has a DEI program to find rural students. Oh well.

So far the president has made clear what things he’d like to cut. But let’s ask ourselves where that cut money is going to go. I’ve yet to see anything substantial.

I don’t pass along a lot of msm news as I have to check sources and make sure for accuracy. Media literacy matters in our house.

If you have a liberal/Dem friend in America, reach out. We are not ok.

Trump has had 2 peaceful transitions given to him.

He has given none.
