I remember when my husband told me I was overreacting. It's happened every day since November. #fascism #bluedot #trump #project2025

Ran across one of my old coloring books that I bought in high school, in the 90s. I love this series of informational coloring books! #adultcoloring #microbiology #coloring #bacteria #STEM #science

It's me. A huge thank you to Germany for giving my kids and me citizenship. My grandmother and her immediate family were the only ones that got out of Germany alive. Germany restored citizenship for us. #trump #fascism #maga #poverty #UnitedStates #dualcitizenship

2/2 part** I also had been saving these great preserves from #Aldi. I'm so happy I decided today is the day to enjoy the cheeseboard and the food. Brie is a #TraderJoe's item.
It was yummy.

My parents got me an awesome cheeseboard a few winter holidays-ago, but I haven't used it yet.
I suddenly decided that I didn't need to save things for a special event. It's been awhile since we had an adult dinner party. Husband can't do brie and most cheese. My kids weren't interested. **1/2 part

Screaming into the void.
The #Pentagon is kicking out established #news agencies and letting in right wing conspiracy groups like #OANN and #Breitbart.

My phone just told me the newest #Facebook app was available.
I DELETED ALL #META APPS 2 WEEKS AGO.
3 days ago I deleted my account.
My phone's allowing apps to install without #permission? Without me adding the app myself?
Beware, this is happening. Anyone else seeing this?

Did you know that you can read #magazines using your #publiclibrary 's subscription from your home or on the go? #Libby is so awesome. Just a selection of the ones I chose to get notified about. I knew I could drive to the library and read their physical copies. This is a game changer.

These #bandages are so awesome! I found these at the #dollartree, and I'm so glad I bought them. I'm not sure how absorbent they are, but at our house #bandaids are often used with minor injuries that a kid needs #placebo treatment. Sometimes placebos work. #kids #5quarterstore
