How the fuck did we get here?

I’m in Lubbock, Texas for the weekend, anyone on here have recommendations for a great breakfast or lunch or brunch spot?

Measles officially reported in an infant in Austin, Texas and a first grader in San Antonio, Texas. Selfish decisions by one family of anti-vaxxers harming the lives of families whose babies are too young to get vaccinated yet. Robbing families of being able to make that decision for themselves.

If you want to feel blind rage, I suggest listening to the podcast The Kids of Rutherford County. A conversation getting lost in the chaos of the trump presidency is the still existent need for ABSOLUTE police reform. The system was set up and borne out of racism and perpetuates that exactly.

I saw something on instagram the other day that said “a man who hates himself will resent you for loving him” and wheewwwwwwww does that one hit.

Truly Thankful You are BEST of Humanity The BEST of America Representative Kevin Mullin, CA15 Representative Brittany Pettersen CO07

And don’t forget the patient from West Texas who was contagious and went all around San Antonio last weekend potentially spreading the virus and it could take 7-10 days for anyone exposed to have symptoms 🫣🫣🫣

All the time I feel like chicken little talking to anyone who will listen about water shortages but no one seems to really view it as important of an issue as it is… there are cities in Texas that will run out of water this summer, and have for the past few summers. Cities. Entire cities.

Can we please start a thread of everyone’s pets? A little skyline cleanse, if you will. I just love seeing everyone’s fur babies!

I just want to give a plug for everyone to please follow @altnps.bsky.social here on Bluesky. It’s incredibly sad to see that park rangers are being fired, EMS services limited, and risking our national parks at such a crucial time. Please LMK if you have any resources to share!!

Woke up today, meditated, had coffee, went to yoga, and still in a misandrist mood for the day. Some days I am compassionate towards our male brethren then there are days like today where you just feel profoundly frustrated that they’ve put us into this place politically. Incredible.

Horrendously sad 😔

When my fellow Capricorn BFF comes over and we sit in silence and puzzle for hours sometimes I think “yea this is why people say Capricorns are boring as hell”

Also if anyone is looking for a good podcast to listen to, I highly recommend The Good Whale. It was so captivating and went by so fast for me!

The further into healing old wounds & trauma you go, the smaller the dating pool is. It’s a more lonely—but calmer & happier—experience than you think. You no longer are triggered/acrivated/intrigued by toxic/distant/unclear behavior. Below is the best post I’ve seen describing this feeling:

Happy Caturday from the snuggliest, sweetest little calico gal in Texas ❤️

And they SHOULD be prepared to fully support that person in the new role and combat the backlash directly, not leave the black person to deal with fallout on their own. The ally white people always need to be the ones combating the racist white people.

I’m self aware enough to know there is absolutely nothing menacing about my 5’2” stature 😭 I envy the normal height folks who can actually intimidate people when needed like how does it feel to have so much power????

So glad I got to host a table for @safeatx.bsky.social Joie de Vivre gala this year! Incredible event, even better cause. ❤️

Why did this event photographer pose us like the Real Housewives of Austin? I’m dying 💀

The history of the Texas State Board of Education and how the tea party psychos single handedly have influenced textbook content in half of the U.S., especially with racist agendas like removing mention of MLK Jr, saying the civil war was about “state’s rights”, the list goes on and on

Stay warm, Texans! Big cold front coming through central Texas tonight and I’m so exited. I love the cold weather!

Yall ever have a twin flame connection that couldn’t be severed with a cord cutting? 😬

My only remaining wish for Texas Athletics is that we please find some way to have a bottled water brand at sporting events that is NOT Dasani. Dasani is the literal worst bottled water and tastes so bad. Can’t we just use HEB water? Aren’t they a sponsor too? 😭

Texas women’s basketball defeats LSU on a glorious Sunday afternoon. What a fantastic ball game and an even better crowd and environment. Hook em!

Had the best time at the SAFE Gala raising money for survivors ❤️

One time for the dress 💅🏻

Hosting a gala table tonight benefitting survivors of sexual violence, domestic violence, child abuse, and sex trafficking. Reaching the point in my life & career where I’m able to serve on the nonprofit board & host my closest friends at an event like this fills my heart with so much pride and joy

Season 3 Yellowjackets let’s gooooooooooooo

The #1 cause of death for pregnant women in the United States is gun-related homicide. Globally, the leading cause of death for pregnant women is hypertension. This is a solvable problem. The United States doesn’t have to be this way.

Summer Willis is CRAWLING the Austin Marathon this weekend in a show of solidarity and support with survivors of sexual assault. A true hero, inspiration, and strong as hell lady. Summer is so inspiring!!

My only remaining criticism of Bluesky is still the lack of real-time commentary for college sports. I’ve followed every sports journalist I can find and all UT-related accounts & feeds but still no things like live posting of coach post-game interviews. I hope that develops over time!

Also I started listening to this book and highly recommend others give it a listen. If you’ve struggled with self sabotage it is really insightful.

My hot take today is that cats need just as much attention as dogs and you shouldn’t leave them alone for any longer than you would leave a dog (a day). You should have pet sitters or friends check in on your cat and give them attention once a day while you are gone. They get very lonely. 😢
