Put on flare jeans today, as I do many days, but the difference is today they're cool.

I knew the backlash would be swift but I didn't know it would be against Dems as much as anyone else. For God's sake, DO SOMETHING. Even if it doesn't work, stop wringing your hands and get to work!! @kaine.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com @markwarner.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov

Educate me: The President is a lame duck now, he got what he wanted and escaped prison, so will the regular old institutional Rs (are there any left?) start to resist him? His policies are going to be unpopular once people feel the burn, right? So will constituents' opinions beat kissing the ring?

I'm obsessed with Ariana Grande's performance in Wicked. Every time she had the chance to play for the laugh she did something completely authentic. She stayed true to her character 100%, and it was even funnier because of it. Seriously kids. Study that performance. That's how you do it.

Pete Hegseth hid his alleged sexual misconduct, ensuing criminal investigation, and private settlement he reached with his accuser while under consideration to lead the DOD.

He knew it would hurt his chances.

How can he be trusted to be honest with the President and public?

🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🤦

The hotness of @georgehahn.com at any age never ceases to amaze me.

Straight married men: if your wife is the one who makes 99% of the Christmas magic happen, don't feel bad. She probably doesn't mind and enjoys doing it. But also don't try to make her feel bad for you because you feel bad that you didn't do more, ok? Especially on Christmas Eve. Thanks.

You all know my husband is a 10 year terminal cancer survivor. What you may not know is how many times over those years we've said to each other "Thank God it's one of us and not one of the kids". Childhood cancer is already poorly funded, and these ghouls just flipped pediatric patients the bird.

Whatever you do, do not make eye contact with the middle schoolers who are walking home as you happen to be outside. And definitely do NOT speak to them. This could traumatize them for life.

PS This applies even if said middle schoolers are your own child.

This burrito is a Christmas movie.

My toxic trait is never ever opening emails from my kids' schools.

I want the backstory to how Gronk and Sam Elliot came to be roommates. I want it now.

I almost cried in the grocery store every time I passed foods my kids loved as littles and have grown out of in case you're wondering how perimenopause is going.

Realizing I no longer crave the validation of my college theatre professor is one of the most grown up things I've done in my 40s.

Every time Hubs has a conversation with someone newly diagnosed with #glioblastoma (and there are a lot of those when you've survived a terminal diagnosis for 10+ years) it brings it alllll back. I don't know how he does it. I have to leave the room. I used to be able to do it but I can't anymore.

PSA to all the stores putting out heart and xoxo decor: Valentine's Day is not a holiday anyone shops 2+ months early for. Just because you started putting Christmas stuff out in August doesn't mean you can't keep it out until the actual day.
