My family loves to tell me I'm too blunt.

But recently I saw my mom and she basically told me she thinks the doctors in Korea knew I had CP, but didn't diagnose me so I could have a better chance at getting adopted.

My mom is concerned about the Social Security stuff.

I resisted the urge to say, "Talk to your other daughter. The one who voted 🛑."

It’s not alarmist to point out how dangerous the Laken Riley Act language is because of specifically this. Anyone accused, not convicted, of a crime can now be sent to Guantanamo Bay. And if you think “oh I’m a citizen I’m good” you’re wrong. 1/

gonna post this every day until the deadline: Feb. 14

if you want to vote in NYC's June primary ***YOU HAVE TO PICK A PARTY BY FEBRUARY 14***

New York has closed primaries. if you're unaffiliated, you can't vote in June. if you're WFP or Conservative you ***CANNOT VOTE IN DEM OR GOP PRIMARY**

Good Lord I cannot do the "started on Broadway" discourse again....

I cannot 😂😂 just saw a comment on TikTok calling Canada "America's Hat." 😂😂😂

Thousands across Gaza celebrate ceasefire announcement. 🇵🇸

Home is where your mom complains about you overstaying, spends full days not doing anything with you, and then complaining because you went to see a few shows...

My Mom: Talks about how excited my niece and nephew bc she's teaching them to sew.

My Mom: "People these days don't know how to sew."

Me: Biting my lip to avoid saying "Yeah, wonder who was supposed to teach your kids?"

It's fun when the question,

"What are you getting Mom for Christmas?"

Because sometimes you go in with your siblings for a larger gift... is met with hostility.

Like dang okay, just checking in.

10,000 workers at 10 Amazon facilities are organized with the Teamster. So far 8 facilities have announced strike authorizations and it looks like all ten might do it. Hopefully it’s the start of something massive.

People, especially white people, telling me I'm wrong about The Blonde is so frustrating.

"She knew she'd do more good from the inside."

(She never says this.)

"Wait for Act 2!"

Maybe there are rewrites re: her in P2. IDK. (If there are, then that's cowardly.)

People are burning themselves at Virginia's Red Onion State Prison in a desperate attempt to get transferred. Conditions at Red Onion are so bad that one man isolated for over 600 days began speaking in numbers, lost 30+ pounds, and signed his name with a series of random letters, per a 2018 lawsuit

I’m sorry but this is so upsetting. Knowing this they decided the path to win wasn’t universal healthcare, or economic justice, or a bold climate vision, or stop arming Netanyahu—all which polled 75%+ with Dems & 60%+ with all Americans. No, they decided to flip on all those & campaign with Cheneys🤦🏽‍♂️

Republicans are eyeing a national book ban. This is why @ctulocal1.bsky.social is advocating for a librarian in every school: to defend every student’s right to read. Librarians maintain diverse collections & are trained to handle book challenges. Every school deserves a certified school librarian!

Let’s get this vibe going over here

Me: Finally getting back into a good sleep pattern.

Me: "I should work on my water intake. Ooh water flavors."

Me: 🤨 "Why is my sleep messed up?"

Me: 🤦🏻‍♀️ The word ENERGY in large font on the water flavor.

My mom hasn't texted since her birthday.

I think I know why.

On her birthday, I texted and told her I hope she had a nice day.

But didn't specifically say, "happy birthday."

So, that's fun.

Seasonal Reminder: I love Guido.

Not sure how, I'm going to use this space, probably for some venting.

Cuz it's been tough in my family since the election and I need a space to let some of that go.
