Nothing like parenting a 3yo to make you feel like a complete failure of a human being.

Can you get insurance for toddler damage? Asking for me: My glasses were finally defeated by my 3yo and my Macbook and phone are constant worries...

I can tell I'm a mom because I really need a day or weekend break from the kids...so I can catch up on chores.

A thing about depression: I have spent a week barely able to function, and today, I am functional. I feel good and have energy. I want to do something fun! But instead, I have a massive list of chores and tasks I missed while out of commission. Depression hits you even when you feel good.

The toddler (Preschooler? Egads! Preschooler!) played out in the snow twice today and was falling asleep on the couch before bed, so we did the rush to get him ready for bed thing and then he is now, an hour or so later, still doing the whole Psyche!! thing and is just not even close to sleeping.

Really feeling like giving up on humanity tonight after a lifetime of believing in us humans. Maybe we are all rotten at our core. Or maybe it's just Saturday night over here. I dunno.

Thing I just said to my musical theatre-loving 2yo son: "Do you want to watch Newsies? It's about boys dancing!" There is no factual error in this statement.

Anyone else feel on the verge of a complete old-fashioned nervous breakdown or...oh, yes, that's everyone. Carry on.

This past year has been a big lesson in learning that everything is on the honour system. If a felon can be president, the law in America no longer matters for him. He can and will do whatever he wants. No one can stop him. The American experiment failed.
I am shocked at the number of people talking about how Trump’s executive orders are illegal as if that is a deterrent. I don’t even know how to wrap my mind around this.

Almost a decade ago, in a prenatal class, the instructor invited us pregnant peeps (and, after, partners) to stick our fists in a bowl of ice for the duration of a contraction. It was an empowering exercise for me, because I was able to keep my hand in until the timer dinged.

The world is literally burning, and this morning, I accurately recalled that Hugh & Sutton stared together in The Music Man on Broadway recently, so here's for completely insignificant wins. Because that might be all we have left: insignificant memory recall and their love for each other.

Hey streamers and content owners, Can you come and explain to my autistic 8yo why his favourite show is no longer available anywhere? Because I'm tired.

I can't do my Apple Music Replay because it's clogged with songs I put on repeat for eternity to get my toddler to go to sleep or to calm my autistic 8yo. There needs to be filters, and not just children's music, but specific songs to be filtered out.

I want memory enhancing drugs but just so I can remember my children as they grow up.

The dems seem to be deluded into believing the rules are set in stone so everything will be fine. The republicans figured out the whole thing is unenforceable, so they can just ignore. The American Experiment has failed because it lacked accountability. It was /too/ free (for white males).
A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

A literal thing I just said to my toddler: "No, we're not listening to rock n roll at bedtime. It's too uppity."
What have I become? Also, who is this Gen Alpha requesting the rock and the roll??

Not sure if this is better on Threads or here but: my depression has been severe. As usual, in moments of minuscule relief, I try to make goals and plan my way out of it. This never works for me, probably because my goals are lofty; I need to change "write 100 words" to "sit at desk for 5 minutes."

I feel like the original TV miniseries version of this is lost in the conversation. At the time, it was unreal that Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, et al. would deign to do television. Now it's normal. Also, yes, we need the content of Angels in America to be seen widely. Again.
We are ... extremely due for a revival of Angels in America. Again.

Here's the thing, nerds: Social media is not the public square. Social media is not the agora where we design a perfect society. Social media is a phone game where you role-play being in high school and if you lose someone finds out where you work and threatens to murder you

pro tip: don’t call something a “debate” when one side is just trying to defend their human rights and the other is trying to punish their existence.

CN: Abortion.
I have not had an abortion...exactly. They didn't induce labour until after my daughter had died at 17 weeks 6 days. I birthed her body. Held her and wept. Love her beyond measure. I will fight for every person-with-a-womb's right to an abortion under every circumstance. 1/4
