Also shoutout to the faith leaders preaching to congregants who don’t want to be challenged about practicing compassion. I know your inbox and vmail will be full of complaints, and I appreciate you.

Shoutout to anyone who’s an organizer of people in any fashion. So much effort and much of it behind the scenes, so it seems effortless.

@ayesharascoe.bsky.social three cheers for your dramatic reading of the credits on Up First today. *chef’s kiss*

Gift link. The actual story of the shackled people being deported without even being told where they were being taken — maybe to countries where they’d face torture or death — while their terrified children cried.😢 The White House posted that pic with “ASMR” tag. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Ok the costuming for the NC White Lotus family is *on point* but the dialect/ accent coach for the parents is…nonexistent? Love Parker Posey as a diehard Tarheel mom, though.

My husband’s second cousins once removed are getting an A++ taking care of our girl while she’s far away and currently sick (but getting better). Inspires me to be a much better second cousin once removed-in-law.

Are we using the pink hearts to mean something different from the red hearts when we text? Just checking.

Breaking news: President Donald Trump is preparing an executive order aimed at eventually closing the Education Department and, in the short term, dismantling it from within, according to three people briefed on its contents.

In all seriousness, I wish someone would create a page-a-day calendar situation for making rep/ sen calls. Doing my best to keep my to-do list simple and straightforward so I can complete these tasks.

I love it when past self chopped and froze veggies, etc that I need today. It’s like money in the bank.

It may be a good time to recall that almost 100 yrs ago wealthy businessmen hatched a scheme to weaken progressive Christianity because the social gospel wasn’t conducive to corporate profits. They poured $$$ into Chr orgs that preached a different tune: the gospel of free market capitalism.

TFW you realize you just checked out a book that you already own 🤦‍♀️

This was very fun and also did you know Jerry Orbach voiced Lumiere?! 🤯

I love the way the royal press machine is trying to convince us that William is hot now. No thank you.

Finally watched The Holdovers. So excellent!

Achievement unlocked: after many months, finally convinced the fam to watch Theater Camp, and of course they all loved it.

Are you noticing people seem a little more confessional here than the other place? Or is it just that it’s early days yet?

An ancient and magical amber bear. Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø in Denmark from a submerged Mesolithic settlement under the North Sea. ✨Merry Christmas everyone✨ National Museum of Denmark 📷 by me #Archaeology

Agreed to read scripture in church today only to find out I was representing Elizabeth. The sermon emphasized her *advanced* age multiple times. Luckily I have a sense of humor lol.

Do people like The Jackal? I find it very watchable and like Lashana Lynch’s performance/ character a lot but it falls a little flat for me maybe bc I really can’t see The Jackal and his wife together *at all.* Also are we supposed to think he’s cool? He’s not.

Y’all! I got through the C’s on my holiday cards! *Pats self on back.* Must celebrate all wins.

I’m thinking we should all take a cue from Joey and buy our gifts last minute at the gas station. At least for adults. The regular way is just too stressful.

Another day, another betrayal by a trusted educator and former colleague who turns out to be a predator 🤦‍♀️

Just remembered this winter holiday gem. Still resonates ❤️

Anyone else missing the Star Wars marathon that USA network used to run on holidays?

Training the fam to help you at thanksgiving is a lot of work. I do recommend it though.

Some people are uncomfortable with silences. I’m uncomfortable with constant conversation.

Apparently Alice of Alice’s Restaurant has died 😞. Today’s the today to listen to it all over again. Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for the memories, Alice.

Did anyone else bawl their eyes out at ep 1 of A Man on the Inside? I do love it.

What’s a holiday without a clandestine chat in which to share your stressors?

There will be no fewer than three kinds of stuffing at my thanksgiving spread. Deep breaths. Luckily I’m only making one.
