Good thing my yearly WaPo subscription was set to renew in just a few days, so my cancellation can be almost immediate. I will direct my money to publications that uphold journalistic ethics, Bezos.

It’s amazing how even a light chat can quickly turn into a vent over The State Of Things. Those of us who are horrified by all of this need to commiserate with each other, and it bubbles over so quickly. This is having profound psychological effect on all of us, I think.

M has a right-wing friend who texted him yesterday to say “You’re probably feeling the same way I felt under 4 years of Biden.” NOOOOPE NO NO NO. Not the same, dude. P.S. This guy is a childhood friend of M’s and he is so awful that I don’t allow him in our home.

Honestly starting to wonder if moving to another country is going to be necessary. It sounds extreme but it’s so hard to know what’s an overreaction and what’s just good sense. Having a Plan B seems wise, though.

I’m doing our taxes and M is working on the plumbing for our bathroom remodel, so there’s a lot of profanity floating around our house this morning.

Long story short, I’ve had the day from hell at work and then I opened the news to see a guy with a worm in his brain is now in charge of our health. 2025 is so fun.

The label on the wine we’re drinking tonight says it goes well with rack of lamb and mint jelly. Hate to disappoint you, wine, but you’ll be consumed with a Kroger brand frozen pizza. 🍷🍕

My new pet peeve is when people talk like this: (Sentence 1), right? (Sentence 2), right? (Sentence 3), right? YES. RIGHT. Stop it.

In a sea of horrific news every day it’s interesting to see what breaks you. I just saw the he blames the plane crash on diversity initiatives that “distracted” people and almost threw my phone across the room. 🤬

Something that’s really bothering me is the buy-in. Fashion designers that once refused to dress anyone in his circle are now doing it. Musicians that once considered performing for him as a liability to their image are now doing it. The normalization is progressing.

Every artist performing at the inauguration is dead to me, not that I was a fan of any of them to begin with.

Dear every medical office in America: Please figure out email, texting, portal messages, or any way of communicating that doesn’t involve a phone call. No one answers the phone, especially when they have a busy job and can’t spare 20 mins to cover medical history over the damn phone.

We know full well the consequences of misinformation, and yet social platforms are getting rid of fact-checking. The cancer is spreading.

One never plans a trip to Europe without consulting Rick Steves. One does not raw-dog Europe like that.

Boy, my mental health has been a mess for the past week. Holidays seem to get progressively harder and I have theories as to why but not totally sure what’s going on. Maybe getting back to the work routine will help.

My MIL has a free-floating toothpick in her purse that she pulls out after every meal and uses right in front of everyone. It’s revolting.

This is how it’s going to be. Rule with an iron fist, compromise is weakness, consequences to the people be damned.

There’s a thing people say (type) at my work and it’s something I’ve never heard before. When sending a message to 2 other people, they’ll start with “Hi both, …” Honestly never seen this before but everyone does it here! Is this a regional slang thing?
