One downside of a skinny kid: when they are sick and not eating and/or vomiting, it is extra anxiety provoking. We had to work hard to get her up to the 17th percentile 🫤

I just started rewatching Bones, and now I kind of wonder why so many of my comfort shows focus so heavily on murder.

I like that I am with someone smart enough to know there is no One Great Truth. But rather: most story lines have so many versions, and pretending Golden Age is more 'real' than things like Smallville is silly. (see also: Wonder Woman has many re-imaginings.) /NotAFakeNerdGirlJustCauseYouGateKeep

This is the current reccomended vaccine schedule for children. Please save before it's removed from CDC website.

While Trump and Musk attempt to cut off funding for Medicaid and the environment—Senate Republicans are trying to pass a budget to set up giveaways to Big Oil and ultra-wealthy tax cuts. I'll be live on TikTok at 11pm. What do you want to hear about?

A Lesson from Bluey: Little boys will absolutely watch shows with female main characters (as long as their grown-ups cannot immediately tell it is a girl).

SCOOP: In an email circulated today by the federal Department of the Interior, the Trump administration has issued a stop-work order for organizations providing legal services, funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, to unaccompanied minors entering the United States.

As we talk about MAGA-regret: Most Trumpers are fucking thrilled right now. The Nazi youth yelling at me from their car in traffic reminded me. Holding up a pick of Trump, then flashing me an L hand sign. Like Pres Musk does not emasculate him daily. Current events was never a strong suit for them.

Trampoline Park for Valentine's, and am pleased to report I have not lost *all* my cheerleading skills in the last ~25 years.

Everywhere else I've lived in Central Mass has been at best ambivalent and at worst hostile to LGBTQ people. Worcester isn't perfect but they did good today.

Inspirational Art at work. Makes me smile.

If something must remain private, don't put it on the internet. Including apps that track your period. The only thing that makes any particular piece of info "private" is some programmer typing conditions under which is does and does not appear. Nothing you put online in any form is private or safe.

Wow, turns out one can clean soot from glass using water and wood ash. Makes a big difference.

Sure, it is negative Celsius out, but at least I can release some of this physical tension *breaking up ICE* Today: my sidewalk One Day: our government

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Hey when's the Parliamentarian gonna speak up?

You’re going to see some news articles saying THOUSANDS of feds are resigning. Um. Ya. We do data. We know what 1% of 3 million looks like. And it's a damn sight smaller than 10%. Keep it up people! As Trump installs his amoral henchmen the American people need us more than ever. Hold the line.

18yr old in MA is one of the plaintiffs, in case you thought being a legal adult or in a blue state could protect. I am so, so sorry.

Seven young transgender patients, providers of LGBTQ healthcare, and the advocacy organization PFLAG sued President Trump and his administration on Tuesday over a pair of anti-trans executive orders that attempt to end gender-affirming medications and surgery for transgender people under age 19.

Cold farm morning, but pretty 🏔️🚜

Anyone who has ever been in a relationship with a narcissist knows how to deal with the US Pres. right now. It’s not by negotiation. It’s not by appeasement. It’s by enforcing boundaries, taking care of yourself, and getting ready to kick them out of your life.

Funny how Billionaires think We the People need to suffer financially. You know, so they can make even more money and get more power.

sucks that this is all happening in an era where we’re burdened with the knowledge that cigarettes are bad for you

TFW: you have something physical from someone who died, and you have to get rid of it, and despite it being like 5 yrs since death and more since you saw them you are still crying. Bye again Kristen. I still remember you.

You tell em, Karl.

All those times they said we did not have to worry about a federal abortion ban, they were lying to your face. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

My mother was the type of women who would make origami frogs with crying children in airports. She helped found BARCC (rape crisis center in Boston). She wore a star spangled sequined corset on her 40th birthday. AD has taken so much of her away, but these things will always be true.
