Kid Fears by the Indigo Girls has been on my mind as those of us who are survivors of SA are living with daily triggers in the news: youtu.be/k_7-3NKLSDE?...

What the hell? In today’s thrifting adventures, I give you this gem. It’s satire. Had me and the ladies who work at the thrift in tears!

I’m just a woman. Standing in front of her government. Asking it to respect her.

Is the suggestion to “focus on the good” meant to shame us for opening our eyes to injustice? Toxic positivity makes us believe that the status quo is acceptable.

My Western Civ professor claimed that the US isn’t imperialistic. I asked him how we got the 50 states and brought up the Philippines. I proved him wrong. But we’re at it again. Bullies taking what’s not ours. This is wrong.

I’m only nostalgic for vintage clothes, art, and housewares, not vintage attitudes and social structures.

We heard a knock on the window. This Golden Crowned Kinglet was stunned, but recovered in a few minutes. She’s so cute!

Two years ago, my life was forever changed by gun violence. I now rely on medication to keep my nervous system calm enough to live in my home that was invaded by bullets. It’s the fucking guns, y’all.

I live in the town where the now infamous raccoon went on a bender in the ABC store. I’m convinced that “full sploot” will become a favorite adjective.

I’m a PT. The DOE just deemed my profession as non-professional, along with OT, SLP, NP, and PAs, all of which require post-graduate degrees and passing board exams. What a slap in the face to public servants. This will devastate our healthcare system.

This one was for book club. And unexpectedly delightful story about how three lives connect.

Just finished this self help book. Easy, good read, with so many super relatable bits of knowledge and advice.

Found out that our insurance premiums (employee sponsored) will go up to $2700/month before adding dental and vision. This is with a $12,500 deductible before anything is covered. This is ridiculous!

Even if you’ve never heard of James Dobson, if you were raised in any type of evangelical church in the 80s to 90s, you were affected by his influence. May he have the afterlife he deserves. #jamesdobson

Indoctrination in the book aisles of the thrift store:

Psychology, theology, and spirituality in Christian counseling.

Prayer starters for busy moms. How to pray all day and still put the laundry away.

When helping hurts. How to alleviate poverty without hurting the poor… and yourself. Has a real meritocracy feel to it that gave me the ick just reading the sleeve.

Humbling moments this week: being asked when my baby is due (I’m 50. Definitely not PG) and being led to the shampoo for dyed hair at Ulta (I’m naturally blonde). Sigh.

I dreamt last night that I had a 20 month old daughter. She turned to me with a mischievous grin and said, “RETRIBUTION.” And I was so proud. IRL, I have two grown daughters who are equally fierce in their own ways.

I made a split pea hummus inspired by a meal I tried on Saturday! It’s so good! I’ll post a recipe when I perfect it.

Happy Caturday! My baby was on a shelter’s kill list because he was “spicy.” Now he’s the snuggliest cat who has ever chosen me.

So we’re playing the old “let’s silence the victims and protect the guilty” game. Again. Fuck the patriarchy. #epstein

When I took out student loans for grad school, no one explained the difference between a compound interest vs. a simple interest loan. My car loan? Simple. Student loans? Compounding. The hole keeps growing, making it almost impossible to pay off.
