Commuting into the office 5x a week after being 100% remote for like... 4 years is soul killing. I am just constantly tired. Even before COVID, I teleworked 2x a week. Just a waste of money, gas, time, my exhaustion.

I'm a proud mother. Whether I'm walking my son to school or reading him a bedtime story, I do everything to make sure he grows up loved and cared for. And for the sponsor of the drag ban to say that my existence is a fetish is false & cruel. I'm glad we were able to defeat this hateful bill today.

So utterly depressing to log onto LinkedIn and see this outstanding Woman-owned US Small Business go under because of the unlawful actions of this administration. This write up really got to me. They have down outstanding work for years.
