Community Group: Post: Rep Casten is going to have a town hall. Members: He should focus less on Trump and more on Illinois property taxes! Civics at work. Talk to your IL Rep, my friend. Not your US Congress Rep. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Feels like such an hill battle every day.

I was interviewed once on Pittsburgh local news about traffic in the city. That means I am totally qualified as Secretary of Transportation too. Where’s my nomination?

Perimenopause be like: You ate cookies for the holidays? Have seven pounds as a prize this month. You are now eating healthy and exercising? We grant you the loss of one pound this month. Be gone peasant.

Hello new BlueSky friends. Always remember rule number 1: Don’t engage with the trolls. Just block them. You don’t owe anyone your headspace. And the trolls go away when they’re not getting attention.

My bookish account was originally supposed to be “look at all these lovely books I’m reading” and now it’s “look at me screaming into the void”. Let us all scream together.

Hope any clients who walk into the office like my music. Have to drown out the orange felon’s voice coming from a coworker’s office. The few lines I did hear from the speech have my blood boiling.

My Illinois people: have you had solar panels installed? What company did you go with and would you recommend? I keep getting hit up by sales reps for the large national companies but all have questionable reviews.

Anybody use the Finch app? I needed a cute little penguin to help me remember to drink water and do self care stuff. My code is FALDSRGNVJ5 if you want to add a friend. app.befinch.com/invite_v5/JHgF

I wish I could mute pictures of the orange felon. I want the news, not his stupid face.

I want to keep up on the confirmation hearings, but it all just keeps me angry. We all know these unqualified yes men will be installed no matter how dangerous it is.

Creators, don’t stop pitching queer content to editors, producers, etc. because you’re afraid it’s going to be stifled going forward. That just helps the bad guys. Don’t pre-censor yourself or the industry you’re in!

Decided to try and keep all news and current event accounts I follow on this profile and away from my business one. That way my brain can have a bit of a break. This world is a lot to take in on the regular.

I saw someone post one of their “outs” for 2025 is washing their legs in the shower. What am I missing? Why would you not wash your legs??

Dislike filling out the BASC-3 test. “appears odd” ….define odd? Cause odd is normal to my household 🤷‍♀️ Queue Morticia Addams. Normal to the spider is chaos to the fly.

So “regular” health insurance plan or high deductible plan and an HSA which comes with 6 pdf documents so I can even figure out wtf the benefit is? I hate this country sometimes. Insurance shouldn’t be tied to employment and we should need fraking health savings accounts to not go into medical debt.

Holiday dresses make no sense to me. Why do they never have sleeves? It’s COLD.
