You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

This was our first time taking our little girl out to see fireworks.

This world is dark, but if you get the opportunity to watch a toddler watch fireworks… that kind of joy is worth getting out for. 🥰

My three year old just made this goose out of construction paper.

I did nothing to encourage or help her.

I am so proud and also terrified.

I picked up some Swedish fish to bribe my toddler with as we wean her off of binky and… I just turned into *that* episode of Bluey.

I just discovered that I can play #CivVI on my phone (gaming while parenting hack!). I put it on random leader selection and I got Wilfrid Laurier of Canada.

I am more excited than anyone should be at rolling Canada in this game.

I just finished #SquidGames Season 2 and wow.

Especially impressed by the relevance of a trans character that was fired from Special Forces after coming out.

Fucking with Heritage Foundation’s survey.

But what do they mean by “Big Tech”? Isn’t that just Elon?

I think this is how Trump’s base implodes: a dispute over which conspiracy theory to adopt

Oh please let there be a public spat between Musk and Patel. Please please please.

I am a citizen of the UK, so I’m okay with kings that are just overpaid mascots.

Emperor f&^%*&! Orange Julius Caesar, notsomuch.

Meta advertising now features an “immigrate to Canada” ad with a sad queer woman hugging her spouse.

“Pausing” MLK Day, Black History Month, Pride Month are kind of expected.

But I am genuinely surprised at Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Holocaust narratives are more often hijacked than straight up cancelled.
