As a polio survivor, I've urged Senators vote NO on RFK Jr. His anti-vaccine stance directly fueled a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa, killing 83 people—mostly children.

He’s not fit to protect the health of our children, or any of us. We cannot let him lead HHS. More here w/ @ayman.msnbc.com ⬇️

We are doing it again, and this country is slipping away from us while we lose the plot www.carlyjdubois.com/america-nazi...

My dad helping my kids plant a tree. He had appendicitis; later his appendix burst. I can't imagine how bad he felt, digging and bending like that. But he did it (a little grumpy, but that was his default mode) because he loved us.

Today marks a year without him. I miss him more than words can say.

The night before last, my 9yo snuck out of bed and stayed up all night gaming. Understandably, he slept late yesterday. I figured bedtime would be a fight, but he went to bed at the usual time and rose before his sister and I (he did sleep). 🧵

I need to get up and do something. I would feel better if I did. Armchair diagnosing Dad a year after his death helps no one, and I have been on the verge of a panic attack since I woke up. But I cannot get moving today. And it's only going to get worse from here.

Coming up on the hardest three weeks of the year: The span of time between the first anniversary of my father's death and the second anniversary of my mother's. Also Valentine's Day, which is now my most painful holiday.

Do not expect great things from me for a while. Sorry.

Dreamed about Mom last night. She was sick in bed, complaining about how she couldn't find exactly the sort of shoes she wanted. The dream was so much symbolic BS, but also that is exactly the sort of thing she'd have stressed about, and for a brief moment after waking I forgot she was gone.

Something to keep in mind for 2025

I told Socks "I'm going to go lay down" when what I meant was "I'm going to go back to work." That's a Freudian a slip as I ever made. More tea, please.

After binge-watching the last 7 seasons of Supernatural and the last three of Buffy back to back, my teen and I needed something...lighter. So we are rewatching Schitt's Creek.
