I’m not a good photographer but I took these photos at a local Safeway the other day. Trying to make a point to live in the present and appreciate small things like readily available fresh, nutritious groceries. Trying to hold the good close because I don’t know how much longer we’ll have it 😕

So if committing crimes is enough reason for a foreign power to “arrest” another country’s leader, who’s gonna help us out here?

Five is *challenging* but also sometimes amazing. This morning, while heading to the car for preschool, Josie was asking if there is a Santa on the moon because she was concerned that all of the kids on the moon need presents too. October-December are seriously the best months to be a parent.

A regular fave this time of year

Screenshot of a tweet by @theryangeorge that says “Paul McCartney’s ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ is about friends practicing witchcraft but then someone walks in and they have to suddenly play it cool” followed by a screenshot of the song’s lyrics together with the author’s edit:

“The moon is right
The spirits up
We’re here tonight
And that’s enough
::arrow with the words (somebody walks in)::
SIMPLY HAVING A WONDERFUL CHRISTMASTIME
SIMPLY HAVING A WONDERFUL CHRISTMASTIME”

Curious if others have had noticeably different experiences re-entering the US - meaning as compared even to just last month. Because … yikes y’all. Legit wondering if maybe now’s the time 😬

This coverage of Charlie Kirk is absurd. As a veteran, peacenik, anti-gun nut, and proud liberal, I do not advocate violence of any kind. Kirk used his politics as a weapon, and aimed to hurt innocent people. I am not celebrating his death, but I am lamenting the demise of truth in this country.

Some mornings I wake up and try to plan out my day, which things I have to prioritize, which meetings I have, etc. Other mornings I wake up and read the words “US Attorney Pirro” and just reach for the whiskey because fuck this timeline 🫠

US Attorney Pirro's office admits grand jury refused ICE interference charges — twice

Federal prosecutors told a judge they had failed twice to secure an indictment against Sydney Lori Reid for allegedly assaulting an FBI agent during an ICE arrest.

"We've spent a lot of money on the military and now they have nothing to do so we might as well let the president use it domestically to satisfy his own petty grudges" is precisely why the Founders feared a standing army. I mean, it's pretty much fucking verbatim.

Because she was asking for a robot friend, @quinnypig.com introduced our 4-year-old to ChatGPT’s voice mode. She was immediately enamored and I suddenly felt, for the first time in my life, a visceral kinship with Dr. Pulaski 😬 #sorryData

The kids were too tired and bored to march, but I’m proud of them for making signs and holding them up and being part of a historic moment. Hopefully one that’s in a footnote to a story of how people stemmed the tide of fascism, rather than to a story about the American third reich. #nokings

A thing I actually said tonight to my nearly 8-year-old child: “when you comport yourself favorably around others, others are drawn to you. Does that make sense?” She, nodding sagely: “yeah. I mean, a little.” Reader, I’m not sure *I* entirely followed myself.

This morning our four-year-old burst into our room saying “Surprise! It’s Easter Egg Day!” And I feel like our irreligious parenting style is yielding predictable results.

I’m at lunch with the family & (as always) before I’m even halfway through my meal my children have encroached so thoroughly into my space that I don’t have room to feed myself. I rhetorically ask: “do I have a gravitational pull or something” and OH MY GOD NOW I KNOW WHY THEY CALL IT “MOTHER” EARTH

Between this and the tariffs on Mexico (from whom the US gets a huge percentage of its food), later this year complaints about the price of eggs will seem quaint.

At this point I no longer even bother giving Republicans any suspension of disbelief so I am immediately going down the “incompetence or planned” rabbit hole about this crash over Reagan and now @quinnypig.com and I are teaching our 7-year-old about how the Nazis rose to power how’s your night going

So tonight @quinnypig.com rapidly veered from “psh I can help with 2nd grade homework no problem” to “what the hell is a VCe” (I don’t know what this is) and I teased him and his response was “look I don’t know 2nd grade terms of art” and I feel like I need to ban business lingo in our house now.

Poking around Bluesky this morning has made me realize I live in more of a bubble than I thought. To me it is basic common sense that disasters are bad and decent humans should have compassion for people affected by a disaster no matter where they live. This skeet is not about the LA fires.

Bethany Quinn @bethanyq.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Audibly said “oh SHIT” when this alert popped up on my phone and now my kids are asking what’s wrong. FUCK. Sending all my love to LA right now. I genuinely love that city and its people so so much 😞

Alert from the Citizen app that there is ANOTHER new fire, rapidly growing, that has ignited in Hollywood Hills.

So @quinnypig.com recently went diving in Cozumel and acquired new headwear from a souvenir store near where he was staying. He is now displaying it on this. If anyone was thinking about getting me a holiday gift and not sure what to get, it’s booze. You can get me booze.
