If I had a nickel for every time a cousin named their kid a name that was on my baby name list, but I wound up not using. I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

Fascism is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan Muslim refugees who helped USA against the Taliban—but now issues an Executive Order accepting white Afrikaner South Africans as refugees to the USA.
It was never about justice or national security. It was always about advancing white supremacy.

I had an overstuffed shelf in our living room and yesterday pulled my books off to put the kids in. I left them on the dining room floor cause I didn’t know where to put them. My husband cleared out this bookcase so he could put my books with my cookbooks. It was the sweetest thing to wake up to.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

My local school board is voting to close my 6 year olds school at the end of this school year. It’s the only school outside of town that has an Intesive Resource program and there is no clear plan for what happens next for these kids…. I’ve never been soo ready to leave this state. 💔

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

I’ve been knitting for about 6/7 years and apparently I’ve been twisting all of my purl stitches. 😅 Soo many things make more sense now. 🤦🏻♀️

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.
It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌
I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...
