I just opened an ABLE account for one of my kids and then sent a long explainer email to my dad since he's getting a notification that I did it and when I was done with all that I noticed that it's after 2am. Someone is gunna report me manic, but really I'm just very behind on my end of year tasks.

I was out tonight and glanced down at my phone to see a notification that said "Wait, so is Trump starting the Hunger Games?" and I thought to myself, yeah... I'm going to wait till I get home to look at that.

Scary rhetoric about a majority of waiver spending being fraud. Waivers are essential to many people's lives, my kid included. We JUST got our waiver after a YEAR of applications, waitlists, and intake meetings.
Those being defrauded are people with disabilities. Do not end programs, end fraud.

The Disney–OpenAI deal marks the end of an era, and I still can’t wrap my head around how casually Disney sold its 100-year-old reputation.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

I have cried more this weekend than any other in my life save June 14. It's just an endless cascade of pain and loss and god if it doesn't feel bottomless right now.

Rob Reiner had one of the greatest movie runs in history.
Look at these classics.
5 in a row.
Doesn't even include This is Spinal Tap. The Sure Thing was between Spinal Tap and Stand By Me, and was a fine movie.
Huge talent. And now it's appearing to be a homicide.

I just yelled “THERE WILL BE NO CHRISTMAS” for the first time.
But I gentle parented my 7yo so "well," she came back later all “Mom, it made me sad when you said that. I know you were just having trouble controlling your temper. Next time I’ll clean my spill, and you take a breath.” 🫠

I haven't been able to stop crying this weekend. The sheer weight and loss of this moment is dragging me down into the depths of despair. Church today was about finding hope and joy when there seems to be none, but I am struggling to find my way there.
