Come work with me!!

If RFK wants to meaningfully decrease rates of depression, he can support paid family and maternity leave, equal pay for women, universal healthcare, and fully funded public schools. Stigmatizing medication that treats the mental impact of a country that devalues your existence won’t cut it.

Finishing out the year with one more work and chill stream.

I spent this week at “horse camp” and I’m excited to share I passed my assessment and now am certified in Equine Facilitated Learning! The good boy chestnut is Arrow and the good girl white/gray is Cheyenne. Couldn’t have done it without them!!

Still can’t believe I got to be part of the Eras Tour. An amazing experience thanks to the one and only @drkowert.bsky.social

This came across my FB marketplace feed and I am having serious regrets that I didn’t act when I had the chance.

🚨🚨GIVEAWAY ALERT! 🚨🚨 I've been sitting on this one for a while, but I am excited to announce that a chapter I wrote about Bluey and being a modern dad was included in The Psychgeist of Pop Culture: Bluey! To celebrate its release, I'm giving away a copy of the book to FIVE Bluey fans! #parenting

Looking at some dudes on Reddit complaining Bluesky is a ghost town, I mean, okay, but let me tell you we got some really active poltergeists up in this haunted house

Seeing all the ethics articles makes my heart so happy.

Listen, the system thrives on hopelessness. Rage motivates but so does joy. Being happy about something doesn’t mean you think it’s perfect in every way. I’m going to let myself feel hope. It’s restorative. 💜

Who’s top of your list? I know “I Was a Teenage Exocolonist” will definitely be making my top 3.
