It is February 28 tomorrow. This means a total and complete economic blackout. This means buying nothing. AT ALL Not even your coffee!

I've started writing for myself again. katiesluiter.medium.com/normal-when-...

This is the America that will win in the end. The revolution will be televised. Stay tuned, MAGA.

This is it. This is the take.

USAID Fraud Allegations: Fact vs. Fiction Fact Inspector General’s Investigations: - USAID’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) actively investigates allegations of major fraud, corruption, and misconduct within its programs and operations, demonstrating accountability in addressing internal issues.

Did all that in a pair of boot cut jeans. Diabolical.

Kendrick brought America together the way that "Country Roads" ad was supposed to.

The Department of Education is one of the most important institutions in our country. Its elimination will turn us back decades, with the goal of whitewashing history, normalizing slavery, J6 & erasing Pride, Juneteenth and MLK as national holidays. It’s gross negligence.

We have reached new levels of madness when an unelected, non senate-confirmed private citizen is overseeing an effort to overhaul or possibly end a congresionally mandated arm of our government. This is real trouble for the separation of powers, and with it, our basic democratic institutions.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Trying to get away from reality.

I play Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete too if you want to add me!

I have been sleeping, reading, and playing animal crossing in an attempt to disassociate from all the terrible news.

Anyone else feel like we are living in a literal nightmare right now? The only escape is sleeping and analog activities.

So let’s see, Trump has been President for a week and now we are fighting with Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Denmark, Panama, Colombia, and pretty much the entire EU. It does seem that Viktor Orban and Netanyahu now likes us more though, so there’s that.

Oh hell to the no.

Watching people skeet "how dangerous a moment this is" When Black women warned yall about this in 2014.

Holy shit. This is real.

Donald Trump ‘saving’ TikTok is the equivalent of an arsonist taking credit for putting out the fire they started.

Sending much love to Chicago Teachers. Next few weeks, especially. I hope families have emergency plans in place. I hope they have access to resources. I hope the district stands up against this 🤡

New Semester means my 100+ 8th graders are in search of new books to read during choice reading time! Here is the Wish List they curated of titles they would love access to! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I need to go to bed. The new semester begins this week and I have about 50 scillion meetings and extra stuff right off the bat. Whew.

lead singer: ARE YOU READY TO ROCK???? me in the pit trying to clean the front of my glasses w my tshirt: JUST A SEC, BUD

In all my 46 years, last night was the 1st time I went out. My brother's band was playing, so I traded sweat pants for fancy pants, and rang in 2025 singing and dancing.

If you see something awful on Twitter it's ok you don't have to screenshot it to make sure we all see it here as well

Happy holidays from Ruby and her pile of gifts yesterday morning.

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

Yesterday I was hooded! My journey is complete.

Another Thursday, another snow day. I'll be wrapped in a blanket rewriting lesson plans.

With this winter storm we have our first round of "Will We Close?" happening for the first time of the '24-'25 season.

Watched our son march as his high school team took the state championship at Ford Field in Detroit today!!

Just a reminder for everyone new to the platform, the only thing that matters here is user engagement, so when you come across a troll or a bot, the WORST thing you can do is argue. Just use the robust block feature or ignore them altogether, and eventually the void will swallow them

Cheers to cozy season.

We do NOT mess around when it comes to Bingo.

Just finished this one. It's so bad ass. I love AS King so damn much.

Suing Kendrick for having a superior diss track is something Kendrick would say Drake does in a diss track

Ruby has not left me alone since I got home yesterday.
