Literally takes a minute and can make a huge difference for so many people.

As a Michigander, visiting Canada is just a fun day trip. While clearly not the 51st state, we definitely have a friendliness with them due to proximity. Our stores take Canadian coins. The idea that we would want to get in a trade war with them is absolutely insane.

I want to build community here and fully leave everything else, but it feels so hard. I’m not sure if it’s me or the algorithm or what.

This was the 1st year I mostly purchased all my holiday gifts online vs. in store . I assumed most people did this years ago. But when I asked friends, I was surprised by how many still shopped mostly in person. Age didn’t seem to be the divider. Curious how you shopped this year?

The United Heathcare shooting is truly indicative of how horrific health insurance and care have become. I cannot think of any other death where literally everyone is like, “wow, that scary, but I totally get it.”

Sometimes I try to imagine what it would be like to not overthink everything. But as I do this, I realize I’m just overthinking my overthinking.

One of the “perks” of Twitter is I can get quite a bit of engagement there just by calling out jerks and hypocrites on their own posts. With the majority of people here being so nice, that’s been impossible here so far. 😂

My 94 year old great-uncle was at Thanksgiving & is in amazing health for 94. At age 42, it’s hard for me to fathom what it would even be like to live another 52 years. This generation knows where we are headed if we don’t stick to our principles. We need to listen.

Wow. Even knowing I will never live up to my mother’s unrealistic expectations, at least she doesn’t think of me like this. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/u...

Getting my kids out the door on time this week is off to a less than stellar start. Come on, it’s a 2 day week.

Let’s go Gen Z!

Considering his draw to so many TV personalities this seems like the logical next step. 🤮

Have you fully deactivated and left Twitter? Are you using both simultaneously? Are you mostly using Bluesky and occasionally checking Twitter or mostly using Twitter and occasionally checking Bluesky? And what is your ultimate goal?

Trying to have a chill day with my son rather than worrying about politics. Is this Trump’s next disastrous pick?

Still trying to figure this all out, but sharing my first starter pack. go.bsky.app/27pRC87

So you’re accused of a serious crime. A multi month investigation is conducted and a report comes back that completely exonerates you, but you just refuse to release it? That’s your story?

I’m reinventing myself after that, which is great, but I’d appreciate if everyone else stays the same so I can find you.
