@AP has called the MI Dem Senate primary for Abdul El-Sayed

The "Sex is great, but have you ever [xyz]" premise is flawed. Sex can be great AND so can something else! like say using a bristle hair brush to scratch your own back! Imagine the McMahon meme; it's Maslow's hierarchy, but for awesome. Sex is great, AND! Put the laser eyes where it tickles you.

I was telling my older 3 that it means a lot to me that @atinsman.bsky.social has filled our kitchen with the perfect shades of mint and pink, and my 7yo said "Mom I bet I know why he does that." I asked why, and he shrugged and said "Because he likes being your husband and he's good at things."

U.S. has used 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during Iran war: Reuters

Ultimate betrayal! My 7yo found yet another stag beetle today (which is good, as "Staggy Jr" had a very short life) and it pinched the tip of his finger today. His anguished cry of "STAGGY NO!" was so so sad! Given the "severity" of the pinch we're thinking maybe this one's a girl. Stagatha!

Dodgers forever, etc but I'm real excited to get to watch Payton Tolle pitch. What a cutie doofus.

When the toddler refuses to eat like a normal person, you get to do fun things like make new smoothie recipes involving carrots. He seems to like it, so I'll call it a win! Bonus, all of the big kids tried a sip and all of them liked the flavor. 

*youth pastor voice* chat, are you goated? (derogatory), turn with me to Matthew 25:32

The whole point of the drive to school is to introduce them to classic rock and to play a solid theme song to send them into their day. When my daughter was a 4th grade "Safety" I played the Avengers Theme for her and we'd visualize a slow-mo montage of her fellow Safeties putting on their sashes.

I realize the overlap of parents who use chatgpt for everything and people who see their kids as objects they acquired for the sake of appearances and don't really want to meaninfully engage with is a circle, but this is still so grim. They can't even chat with their kids on the morning school run?

Me, yesterday when the barista kindly said "your hair looks amazing and flatters you so well"

Chat what does this bumper sticker mean: "We are all dogs in God's hot car"

After a lifetime of public service and dedication to the health of Americans and people around the world it is obscene that Dr. Anthony Fauci is being forced to sit in front of this Congressional committee and face these absurd accusations.

{Listening to the beach boys} 7yo: Help me, Rhonda! Me: She's not going to help you, buddy. 12yo: Rhonda's got her own problems!

Listen, I appreciate children's performers. I know they need to over-act and use exaggerated expressions and voices to hold little attention spans. Still - The Wiggles embarrass me, deeply.

A functional government would not accept a member of its most powerful body simply not doing their job for months. It wasn't acceptable with Dianne Feinstein, and it's not acceptable now. But our government is run by half-dead husks, so we just go with it.

Just a few years have passed - how are we doing? 🥹

A tiny bit of additional opposition to Trump and his allies among white voters goes a LONG way. Why? Simple math. It’s not about “race.” It’s about algebra. This MAGA era ends when more of our white brothers and sisters vote to end it.

“What if something terrible has happened?” said Toad. “What if Frog has fallen into a deep hole and cannot get out. I will never see him again!”

He just turned two... what do you expect??

Is a symptom of perimenopause feeling like you're suffocating in your own skin due to being uncomfortably hot and sweaty with very little exertion in an otherwise climate-controlled setting? Asking for myself and apologies in advance to my family when I lose my shit at them 😑

Jesus’ harshest words in the gospels wasn’t towards prostitutes, other religions, or undocumented immigrants. Jesus’ harshest words were towards the rich and religious who used God’s words to justify exploitation and oppression. Yet many want us to believe the opposite.

Local woman wakes up, creates a clone of herself to carry on the nefarious whimsy and oatmeal socialism long after she shuffles off this mortal coil, makes oatmeal.

Cleaning up our home always makes me feel reflective and thankful. I especially love just how much of it is secondhand. Down here, it's the pair of loveseats, the wall art, the tv table, the throw pillows and blanket, the shelves, the screen, the vintage quilt and blanket ladder... I love the vibes.

How can I be expected to fold laundry in these conditions

This makes me angrier than I can even say.

Oh fun! We're quote posting pictures of us in glasses. I wear glasses because the concept of contacts makes my eyes shrivel into raisins so this isn't hard for me. 😅

My big kids are up way too late with us tonight on the porch on this glorious night and my sleepy 7yo says "Mama, is it past Twin Towers destroy time?" 🤨 Yes son, it's past 9:11.

I have my own me-sized cotton blanket I like to be under 🤷🏻‍♀️

Couples who share one blanket are lying to themselves about how happy they are

That blanket is going to have an accident. Or, I'll make it look like an accident. Anyway it should be in a landfill

Follow up thought: I do own a blanket big enough but one of us doesn’t appreciate it. I won’t name names, but I will say she’s uncultured.

Each of my OG 3 were due for backpack upgrades. For the youngest, a $10 NWT Fortnite backpack secondhand. (He's too young to play, but it's all the rage and he's excited about it!) For the middle, a $50 backpack from TJ Maxx, list price of $130. It has his actual name on it which seems perfect
