Tattoos with my son and hubby yesterday. Late night/early morning bed hangout w/the 17yo. Garden and park with my mom and the 4 youngest kids today. A good garden harvest. A great nap. Going to try a new church tomorrow. This has been a good weekend.

A local tattoo shop had a $13 flash sale for Friday the 13th to let their apprentice get some time in tattooing. Hubs got the same ghost on his arm and our oldest son got a Japanese lucky cat.

Hard conversations are hard. I've been in the middle of a sticky mess between my mom & one of my kids for weeks. Today I laid my feelings out on the table & refused to be a part of the situation anymore. It is not my job to fix other people's relationships & blunders. And THAT'S on healing trauma.

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

We need a budget wakeup call. The states driving up debt need to stop blaming it on everyone else. Many orange states have been dependent on aid for decades. Instead of addressing their economic issues, leaders are busy thinking about other people's bottoms and where women are driving.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Imagine kidnapping people off the street in broad daylight and thinking you're the "good guys". People who are at work, at their kids' school or otherwise minding their business. Imagine shooting people with rubber bullets because they want it to stop and thinking you're the "good guys". 🤔😑

Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.

Weather related headache, its dark and raining out, and I am cuddled up with the 3 year old watching David the Gnome after a few hours at the library this morning. The 11 & 13 yo boys go there a lot and the librarian told me what great kids I have. That's always nice to hear as a parent.

lately with everything that's been happening in the world I've decided to switch to using a dumbphone and only getting access to social media via a laptop intentionally and it's actually so good for my mental health i cannot recommend this enough

It's been a busy almost 2 months since I've been on here. I bought a minivan. We went to OK to visit family. Lots of gardening. Lots of work. My uncle was in the hospital and mom and I went to see him for 5 days. Kids are out of school. And now trying to help dad figure out moving here.

It's been a good weekend. Prom for the oldest daughter, back carries for the youngest, time outside with the chickens and ducklings, and not pictured is getting our raised bed at the community garden planted.

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter. People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government. And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

The show Yellowjackets makes me want to plan a fun camping trip with friends. Minus the cannibalism. 😂

Went to feed store for supplies for the bigger brooder for our 10 chicks, and left with half the supplies and...4 rouen ducklings. All hubby's idea. #backyardhomestead #duckling #rouenducks #quackquack

Weird news about work the week before I go back, bad news about my car (ext. warranty expired, definitely needs a new engine). All the stress. I'm going to keep the car, pay it off, and eventually put in a new engine. Slight chance factory powertrain warranty may apply, but if not, it'll be a while.

#Officeredo progress. The room itself is still trashed. BUT this is a start. A wider bookcase that is arriving this week will go between these 2 to hold more collectibles, books, candles, etc. And a painting above my monitor. I need fairy lights to light those shelves, too.

Tomorrow I will bite the bullet and finally call for an appointment about the anxiety. I'm having almost daily panic attacks. Driving home from Detroit was so bad I caved and bought cigarettes after 6 weeks nicotine free (haven't bought more, yay). I am awful at taking daily meds though.

The world is falling apart and national security is non-existent...but I finished painting my office, had an AMAZING thrifting day, and got my clearance to return to work on Monday. I'm choosing to focus on the good that I have in my own little bubble for today.

Doing a quick #homeoffice refresh before I return to work next Monday. #Paint turned all of the walls a lovely purple-y color. Waiting for furniture & accessories to finish the look.

Lu (14) came with me from IA to MI for my tattoo appointment. I am sore and tired after a 4 hour sitting, so we're just hanging out tonight watching #supernatural. Tomorrow we're going to a local coffeeshop for breakfast, doing some thrifting, maybe hitting the Detroit Zoo, and then heading for home

If Elon wants people to stop burning Teslas, he should absolutely continue this media blitz letting everyone know how victimized he is

I wonder what Nikola Tesla, a kind man who died in poverty because he dedicated his life to science over profit, would think of his name being used to sell dodgy cars by a scammer who has never invented anything in his life.

Make your own pizza night. I forgot just how delicious marinated artichoke hearts are. And sun dried tomatoes. We may have to do this more often. I get to have fun with toppings and everyone else can stick to their basics that they like. Also a good way to work towards less meat for myself.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...
