My comfort binge watch has always been Househunters International: Americans Want Large Appliance. But I just watched a Life Coach who did Astrocartography, and I don’t want this. I want corporate relocations to Asia, military deployments to Germany, and broke grad students.

Thanks a lot, Lin-Manuel Miranda. Instead of going to bed, my six-year-old is asking me SO many questions about why King Louis’ head was in a basket, and I’m trying to remember who was in charge at each stage of the French Revolution.

Instead of increasing your own #PublicMedia contribution, consider gifting a membership to @npr.org or @pbs.org to the grandparent of a congressional staffer. Have Nana ask the kid what they’ve been up to while using their new tote bag or coffee mug. #SavePBS #SaveNPR

While dropping my daughter off at camp, I got a twig in my hair. Which was discovered two trains, a security check, and one hour at work later.

The Better Bus Service would be better with timetables so I’d actually know when the bus leaves the stop. Feels like a critical ingredient, @wmata.com

If you read “Careless People” right after “Little Bosses Everywhere”, it’s really going to make you question how American businesses are run. Do it anyway. #BookSky

I’m sure y’all are busy right now, but find some time for Bridget Read’s “Little Bosses Everywhere: How the Pyramid Scheme Shaped America”. I can’t believe that a book on Multilevel Marketing companies might be the best explainer for America in 2025, but here we are. #BookSky #MLM #Blessed

I know I’ve been super excited about #ChicagoPope (not just Chicago, Chicago HEIGHTS), but a pizza place in Homewood is claiming that he eats pepperoni on his pizza. Why? Why would you do that?
