I know there are reasons to be pissed at Amazon, but this week they've found a conscience... If you're on SNAP or Medicaid, they've made prime super cheap. 3.50/month for 3 months, $6.99/mo after. Get the prime pricing & 2 day shipping for HOLIDAY SHOPPING.

Just sharing in case anyone needs it.

Last minute halloween decor. 🎃🎃🎃Life happened, and the world has gone mad... and I totally forgot.

NYC confirmed 0 across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx & Staten Island.

They even said it officially before any story could be spun. NYPD public affairs team's version of saying ❌👑 was getting to say "peacefully exercising their first amendment rights."

Don't just stew... call. Please! Not just on this - Veterans care, immigration, big betrayal bill, public land, etc. One call per issue gets more public office attention via call tracking.

An interesting moment of facial expressions at the end of this press conference.

I'll let their faces speak for themselves.

"Where were you when the most insane US president ever decided to risk WW3 by bombing Iran?"

"Well, I was at the pool, foolishly hoping that for just one day I could enjoy my kid's smile, while the mad king would golf rather than destroying more of our democracy and the world."

Vet Monday, probably to put him down. (I can't afford emergency weekend fees.) We're doing our best to make him comfortable and calm. He already had issues, but nobody expected this!

Lockheed Martin was a sponsor too, which is super shady from a defense contractor.

At the hospital. Wife has a pulmonary embolism... Instead of our usual ER -> Oncology routine, we're in a different wing.

They were kind enough to let us go straight to the room she's been assigned, even as she was being wheeled to surgery from ER, so kiddo could crash.

Kindness on a scary night!

My kid's school - the signs they chose to leave up until the very end of the school year tomorrow, even though most of the halls are now bare. ❤️

I hope their curriculum & philosophy don't change.

Funniest meme I've seen in forever.

Posting this genuinely unrelated to anything in particular - it's just funny!

99% chance I use this in a text to my brother during an annoying conversation.

"I'm glad you couldn't tell what was going through my mind" is my favorite answer to any question from this press conference. 😂🥂

A little sugar glider cuteness to end the day. 3 of our 5 gliders pictured. 😀

Happy news: There is a baby in-pouch too, but mama was hiding in a hammock tonight.

Dad's old work shirt is an unfortunate color.
We haven't spoken since the election because he voted for the 🤡
He didn't mean to antagonize me, it's not a MAGA shirt... but did he HAVE TO wear this while surprising me & trying to get along (in silence, in a crowd) through my kid's event? 🙈🙄
