The 3 year old is terrified of bees and one buzzed in his ear, so we are watching the 7 year old’s softball game from the parking lot.

Sorry, Earth.

Also while not as elite as Nerds Gummy Clusters, these Sweet Tart Gummy Halos are pretty good and also will save my afternoon. Nice addition to the candy aisle.

What a wonderful and innovative show! An instant classic and we all loved it. High praise from my teen as well.

Well after a couple of months of being a one dog family, we made a trip to the shelter and came home with Scruffy (the janitor).

I’ve been reading “You Sound Like A White Girl” by Julissa Arce and she included a portion of this poem, “Mexican American Disambiguation” by Jose Olivarez and probably the best piece on identity I have ever read.
Part 1: by Jose Olivarez after Idris Goodwin my parents are Mexican who are not to be confused with Mexican-Americans or Chicanos. i am a Chicano from Chicago which means i am a Mexican-American with a fancy college degree & a few tattoos. my parents are Mexican who are not to be confused with Mexicans still living in México. those Mexicans call themselves Mexicanos. white folks at parties call them pobrecitos. American colleges call them international students & diverse. my mom was white in México & my dad was mestizo & after they crossed the border they became diverse. & minorities. & ethnic. & exotic. but my parents call themselves Mexicanos, who, again, should not be confused for Mexicanos living in México, those Mexicanos might call my family gringos, which is the word my family calls white folks & white folks call my parents interracial. colleges say put them on a brochure. my parents say que significa esa palabra. i point out that all the men in my family marry lighter skinned women. that's the Chicano in me. which means it's the fancy college degrees in me, which is also diverse of me. everything in me is diverse even when i eat American foods like hamburgers, which to clarify, are American when a white person eats them & diverse when my family eats them. so much of America can be understood like this. my parents were undocumented when they came to this country & by undocumented, i mean sin papeles, & by sin papeles, i mean royally fucked which should not be confused with the American Dream though the two are cousins. colleges are not looking for undocumented diversity. my dad became a citizen which should not be confused with keys to the house. we were safe from deportation, which should not be confused with walking the plank. though they're cousins. Part 2: i call that sociology, but that's just the Chicano in me who should not be confused with the diversity in me or the Mexicano in me who is constantly fighting with the upwardly mobile in me who is good friends with the Mexican-American in me who the colleges love, but only on brochures, who the government calls NON-WHITE, HISPANIC or WHITE, HISPANIC, who my parents call mijo even when i don't come home so much.

I know, I know. I should get off Facebook. With that out of the way…

What is with these weird AI photos in these stories? Also I assume the story is made up too? To what end??

We had to say goodbye to our good boy Seymour last night. Obviously v sad today but knowing he died the same day as the Pope is kind of fitting since he was also very loving, sweet, and gentle.

I’ll take “JD Vance killed the Pope” memes to help me feel better 👇🏼

Trying to figure out a trip plan, and looking up the train schedule makes me want to die. Why is this so much longer than even driving? Why is it almost as expensive as flying?

Celebrating our 17th (!!) anniversary by volunteering at our kids’ school carnival fundraiser. At least I got some henna art out of it.
