My nephew should be dead. He’s alive, a walking miracle, no thanks to the U.S. medical system.

Scary similarities to Vallow & Daybell, but thanks to quick action by the father & authorities, no child ended up dead. Some families are torn apart, though. See my full video about the Thibaudeau case here: youtu.be/hkHMpIC7jZw #truecrime

With how outspoken I’ve been, I don’t dare travel. Glad I did a lot 2017–24: Ireland, England, & most importantly, to my beloved Finland 6x, including showing 3 of my kids around & going w/ my sisters. Praying my aging Finnish aunt & uncle don’t pass until I know I can safely return to the U.S. 😞

Last fall I got to visit Finland 2x, once w/ my kid, the other w/ my sisters. Got a @museokortti.bsky.social instead of a City Card bc it applied to many of the same places & would work for both trips. Just got an email saying it’ll expire in September. If only I had a reason to renew it. 🥺

Son: Mom, I heard this cool song about this amazing Finnish sniper during the Winter War!
Me: I walk ten feet and pull THE WHITE SNIPER off a shelf.
We had a fun chat about Simo Hayhä. And he took the book to read.

For kicks, here is a visual representation of a hellish 4 days of migraine looks like. It’s the change in barometric pressure, which is one of my biggest triggers.

Frick. Don’t scare me like that! Especially when everything is on fire. Opened YT & was hit with a guy playing a riff from “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.“ The caption? “RIP.” WAIT, WHUT?!Immediately Googled Tears for Fears. Roland and Curt are both still here. 😮💨

Nobody got rich on their own.
Elizabeth Warren's observation also underpins the argument as to why it is right for the rich to say their fair share of tax.

Sometimes I’m grateful for past me bc I leave myself notes for manuscripts. Today is not one of those days. I wrote the following around 2AM a few weeks ago. (Speaker has lost some memory due to an injury.) I left myself no notes & have no CLUE what it means any more than my character does. 🙄😂😭
