Two of my kids are trans. It feels weird to feed them food I bought in a state that claims they don't exist.

I live in IL but my job is in IA. I do a lot of shopping in IA. I guess that has to stop. Except my Costco is in Davenport. Costco good, Iowa bad. I'm torn.

I'm getting so good at saying "they" for a single person and not assuming gender! Sorry but "he or she" was drilled into me with APA style for 15 years so I'm a work in progress.

They almost pulled the free Covid test program, and were about to destroy all existing test kits, which would have been expensive. You'd think they'd be willing to send them out now to anyone who asks, but they're not letting me sign up because I already requested free kits last fall.

My youngest has Covid. I gave him the test and went to the bathroom. When I got out of the bathroom he said, "What do the LINES mean?" Yep, there were definitely two lines, not just one.

Just realized if my kids are home while I'm working I can turn on my ring light and they'll leave me alone because they think I'm in a meeting.

OK so my daughter is doing fine after breaking up with her boyfriend. The boyfriend is not. He's gone a bit crazy texting and threatening suicide. She called her college's public safety office and they had a talk with him, and she also told his mom about the suicide threat.

Honestly if I were one of the fired USDA workers they were trying to re-hire, they'd get a big old "fuck you" from me. Even if I would end up on the street.

I turn 50 in a few weeks so I'm just going to pretend the SNL 50th Anniversary Special was all about me.

My daughter has been on every anti-depressant known to man in her quest to find something that works. I have hoarded every discarded attempt. I'm set for the RFKocalypse.

I recreated my oldest daughter's favorite baby blanket. It got lost in our many moves. She called it stripey.

I constantly go between loving being self-sufficient and not sharing finances with someone else, to desperately wanting to quit my job and run away with a sugar daddy.

A lady on FB said her groceries were $150 a week under Trump, but now they're $225 a week. I reminded her that Trump is in fact president now. We'll see if she responds.

I'm finishing up my self-evaluation and it may be a bit too much but it's my first one in this job even though I've been here for 5 years. My previous manager wasn't big on following through on evaluations.

I accidentally bought a tinted moisturizer a shade too dark and didn't notice. I felt like an absolute clown when I realized. How can Trump walk around like that day after day?

I'm in a Teams call and just realized the two Angelas have the same haircut. Like the Karen haircut except not long in the front. Has anyone else noticed that Angelas have a specific hairstyle?
