Decided to get Peacock for a month just so I can watch this SNL concert. I just want to replay Eddie Vedder singing Tom Petty for the rest of the month. 😍

I’m happy to be in MD where my reps are fighting the good fight, but are R reps getting the same volume of calls? Seriously though, did every last one of them get paid off? If there’s a price where anyone would turn to corruption, a certain person can afford to pay it.

I remember joining Twitter years ago, wasting so much time playing fun games like #RemoveALetterFromABook and answering “F Mice and Men!” And now I’m here, equally obsessed, but not having any fun at all.

It’s a weird time to be a parent. I gave advice to my kid for a class, sent her to school, and now catching up on the collapse of our society. Like, maybe don’t even go to school if the future is less college, more Hunger Games. Faking optimism while hoping our elected leaders weren’t ALL paid off.

Babies and little kids at the library make up for the less enjoyable encounters. Two weeks ago, a patron was screaming at me and ruined my day. But today, a 2 year old yelled “boooooks!” while running towards the children’s area. I didn’t even tell him to use walking feet. He needed to get there.

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

If they’re going to double down on shitty efforts, we’re done until they come to their senses. It was convenient and fun to get what we needed and usually some fun little extra thing, but honestly, I wasted money on unnecessary things every trip. Thanks for making it easy to quit you, Target.
Maybe it's time for EVERYONE to boycott Target. You know? If you power that with an Amazon boycott you might find ... you can be okay without either of these brands. This might surprise you.
Fuck Target, for real.

Remember that fascists want you to feel hopeless and helpless. We are neither. Continue to be a pain in their fucking ass, even if that just means refusing to go away.

Suddenly getting an influx of randos without any posts to indicate what kind of person they are, following me.
Just for the record, I am both uninteresting and uninterested. Go away.

I’m glad I chose to watch that Bal/Buff game alone at home instead of with husband and his family. Like, yeah that was a bummer, but my nervous system would not have been able to handle to yelling at the television. Anyway, go Commanders I guess?

My TikTok experience is officially over. I deleted because I’m sure the “savior” of the platform isn’t doing this for the fun of it all.

One thing I loved about Twitter was the ability to mute words. Bluesky made it better. I can choose a length of time to mute words. For the next seven days, my feed will not show me anything with a certain person’s name. A few may slip by if he is only named with colorful language, but that’s okay.

every so often I feel compelled to point out that interlibrary loan is a goddamn miracle. If you have a library card and can wait a little while, you can have in your hands just about any book you want.* just because there’s going to be another library out there that says “Sure, we’ll send it.” 📚

I am here for news and hopefully factual information, but I also need this to be a spot for joy or I won’t ever open this app. Any leads on joyful accounts to follow?

Wicked was excellent. I enjoyed the play but this was greatness. Cynthia Erivo: best Elphaba ever. So excited for part two.

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

If cost is preventing anyone from getting news from newspapers, your public library may provide free access. @aacpl.bsky.social does!
I'm doing a number of these things too.

there has to be a better way than sounding an alarm every single time a deranged trump-related story drops. it's unhealthy and unsustainable. we need to find a way to stay informed without spiking cortisol and without losing sight of the bigger picture. i'm just...not sure how.

I went to a guided meditation tonight. I can’t spend money on this regularly but it was kind of incredible to actually meditate for nearly an hour. I last six seconds in my home, even if I’m lucky enough to be alone.

Not sure if this works the same as Threads for friend/follower finding, but if you love music, (Old 97s and Taylor are my faves), you’re cool w/Xennials, you’re a reader, and currently horrified and anxious about the state of this country, 🙋🏻♀️. I’m also a wife and a mom and some other things probably.
