I'm an educator, wife, & mom of 2 adult sons who wants to enjoy social media again, but stay informed.
I like books, travel, & want to be Buffy when I grow up.

I get that it's a holiday, but why haven't the plow/salt trucks been out yet?

If you've never called and listened to the message, do it. Sometimes we all need to feel not so alone and foundering, and that can happen often these days.
this is not our customer service number. it’s just my voicemail inbox.

you’re welcome to call. i hope you do.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

I'd love for someone to explain to me why Mamdani is getting gleeful praise for meeting with trump, but Whitmer was trashed and people said that ended her presidential aspirations.

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.

"Fuck Grandma this Christmas" is quite the message.
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

A case for chapter titles:

➡️ We want the reader to keep reading.

➡️ The most common place to stop reading is between chapters.

➡️ With an intriguing chapter name, we entice the reader to read on.

➡️ So why not use this free engagement tool?

Name your chapters!

Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.

I have an email from X telling me I'm suspended for "inauthentic behavior".

I haven't posted there in well over a year. I'm also not sure that is the exact name I used. It's my name, but I think my user name was the same as here.

I'm watching Death by Lightning and think the actor who plays Gitaeu reminds me of Jon Hamm.

Is it just me?

Finally started Death by Lightning.

The first episode was great!

In closing, I'll go back to what I said last night:

This is the part about Platner that pisses me off the most.

Even if I bought all of his bullshit about the posts, the tattoo, etc. and believed that he really is a Changed Man yadda yadda yadda…

…ok, fine: Run for city council or county commissioner or something first, not for the U.S. Senate.
No reaching out to communities that were affected by the rhetoric and actions. Just jump on a podcast with a bro and get a softball interview while getting your ass kissed 💋

There were literally congressional hearings where whistleblowers in the insurance industry cried while discussing being forced by superiors to repeatedly illegally deny payment for lifesaving care in the run up to the passage of the ACA. That’s what republicans want us to return to.

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

Just pointing out that Hakeem Jeffries got TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE House Democrats to hold the line.

Not one House Democrat cracked.

Not one House Democrat caved.

I’m going to remember that.

ALL Americans rely on the ACA to protect us from being denied coverage due to "preexisting conditions" and from reaching a lifetime cap on medication payments. We are all under attack even if not this month.
To the 8 Dem senators who took a “trust me, bro” about the ACA from fash trash republicans: 1 in 7 Americans rely on the ACA-you work for We the People, not corporate donor overlords and We the People will not forget those of you who bent the knee and sold us out.

The Heritage Foundation Project 2025 page is no longer on its website. It was not easy to locate as Google fed me a bunch of links to buy the book from Amazon instead. It's here under a new link. Download it for free before the history revisionists start messing with it, if they haven't already.
