The ocean at night seems to have a way of reminding me that I've weathered worse. Life seems to be nothing but crashing waves. But when I take a moment to look beyond, I remember there are placid waters to be had.

I love alone time on the beach at night. Ghosts make me want to leave San Diego, but the tide keeps pulling me back in.

Would love to have someone to hold hands with. To read and game with. To cook for and cuddle, and make passionate love to. That's not too much to ask, is it?

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

A German woman, Jessica Bröscheis, is being held hostage and tortured by the US at Otay Mesa Detention Center. She was illegally detained upon entry while possessing valid paperwork and a return ticket. Trump's ICE troopers claim she "planned to work", however has no proof. Do not travel to the US.

I am not going to pretend to know how this will all exactly play out but watching local news here in my little slice of Ohio/northern Kentucky, a lot of it is just a bunch of straight reporting on the tv and evening news about how Trump is killing a bunch of your jobs locally, here are the…

We've all had relationships with folks that aren't entirely reciprocal. Some you give more and you're okay with it. Some, the opposite. Do your best to avoid, or extricate yourself from, the emotional vampires. The ones that only come around when they need you. They don't deserve your time or energy

This is for anyone that’s still holding on: let them go. That person who hurt you and made you question your worth does not deserve one more second of your time. Let them go, once and for all.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

It's always a losing bet when you base your value on how much others value you. Be kind to yourself. You are important. You matter.

Barely treading water, and it feels like instead of lifelines being thrown my way, it's anvil after anvil. Being a single parent, on a civil servants salary, and getting zero financial help from my kids' mom has me overwhelmed. The looming prospect of yet another government shutdown isn't helping

Forgot to take pictures yesterday, but Boucher's Lovers in a Park was hands down my favorite painting from my museum trek yesterday. Followed closely by Copley's Mrs. Thomas Gage. Boucher left no ambiguity as to intent, and Copley's lifelike fabric detail was unparalleled. Loved the belt as well

I feel very fulfilled when I can be there for someone. Especially so when it's someone I care about. It's not a burden to be leaned on; it's a reward.

Russia and China are now eagerly trying to recruit the laid off federal employees that Trump has fired, setting up recruitment websites offering jobs, and trying to reach them on message boards. This is a massive threat to our national security. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

It doesn't matter how many times I watch An Affair to Remember, I'm a sobbing mess at the end. Every. Damn. Time. Sometimes I hate being a hopeless romantic, but this scene works so much better when you are.

Guess seeing my ex triggered some nightmares. Startled awake. Trying to fall back asleep, but failing. Confidence shattered, feeling trapped, drowning. A looming spectre. Heart racing. Realizing gravity draws one to people that will take what they need, then cast you aside. Sleep needs to take me.

Ugh. My narcissistic, abusive ex-fiance just drove by me (I live in the house I bought for her and her aunt lives in the neighborhood, so it's happened before). Instant flight response, but also that shitty ass gravity they always seem to have. It's been 3+ years, and those reactions still exist.

5 former Secretaries of Defense call on Congress to exercise oversight responsibility on Trump-Hegseth firing of senior military leaders: The "dismissals raise troubling questions about the administration’s desire to politicize the military and to remove legal constraints on the President’s power."
