I just jammed my finger (nothing severe) and it really hurt. If it happened to my almost 3 year old, he would have immediately started hysterically crying. Sometimes I wish I could just lose my shit and it not be incredibly awkward.

It's nearly 2pm aka napping hour. This time of day is so hard. Much coffee is required, no matter how much sleep I get the night before. Can we bring back siestas? Asking for a friend...

They said, keep having new experiences in middle age. It'll keep you young.

So anyway, this is what living through an administrative coup feels like.

0/10, cannot recommend.

Go to therapy and get a hot stone massage instead.

Seeing lots of folks saying “My reps are all red, what’s the point?” They still work for *you*. Let them know you are paying attention. Those are some of the most important calls to make.

We took our almost 3 year old and our doggo on a hike today. It was good for my soul to spend some time in nature. I was honestly impressed by how much walking my child did and super proud of his problem solving skills. Loved seeing my senior dog run. Hopefully the first of many such expeditions!

Hey, new people to Bluesky who are just testing it out and seeing if you want to stay! Even if you’re unsure, please put some sort of image as your avatar, some info in your profile bio, and a post about yourself or your pet or whatever. Otherwise you may be perceived as a bot and blocked unfairly.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

Just finished reading Gather by Kenneth M. Cadow for my middle grades/YA book club. This is our first book of the year; what a winner we picked! Can't wait to discuss. Highly, highly recommend. Also: while a lot of terrible things happen to the protagonist, the dog makes it through just fine. 📚💙

My doggo spent the day at doggie daycare yesterday while we were out weddinging. They took multiple photos of him but this one is by far the winner. 🐕

At a Catholic wedding today; this really unearths so many childhood memories. Feeling at peace with my life choices and happy to be here to support my friends. Shout out to the band, too - the music is way better than average. #recoveringcatholic 😉

Shout out to @rebear.bsky.social for being my bluesky tour guide.

I've been waiting for a bear like you to come into my liiiiiife.

(I just made it weird, didn't I? Yep.)

If we are eating pizza with our toddler, it's automatically a "pizza party!" Even when it's just the three of us. Even when it's a frozen pizza at home.

So if you're reading this while eating pizza, even if it's just you and some Totino's: PIZZA PARTY! 🍕🎉🍕🎉

“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” she explained quietly in an interview on Tuesday night. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?”

So, she took a breath, and spoke.
The Bishop Who Pleaded With Trump: ‘Was Anyone Going to Say Anything?’ (Gift Article)
Bishop Budde locked eyes with President Trump and made a plea for mercy — and the war over spiritual authority in America was ignited anew.

The app is called bluesky... We're just here to talk about the weather, right? 👀

Proof of aforementioned snow. Amazed that friends and family south of us are getting even more, and folks north of Atlanta aren't getting any at all. Weather be wilding.

I'm glad it's finally snowing, even though I don't specifically WANT the snow, but if they are gonna close schools and make us all stay home and go stir crazy, it might as well be for a reason. ❄️
