I have gone TEN YEARS without breaking a single piece of my wedding-gift dinnerware but have broken TWO PLATES in the past week. I'm not sure what kind of omen that is and I don't think I want to find out.

I have been watching the World Cup since I was 8 or 9 years old (so almost, ahem, thirty years) and I have NEVER seen a more exciting, down-to-the-wire string of games as this. #FIFAWorldCup #NEDvsMAR #StoppageTime #OverTime #PenaltyShootout

My kid was playing, like kids do, and as he narrated he said something that sparked an amazing picture book idea and I may actually have something for the next time my critique group meets. PLEASE CLAP. #WriterSky #KidLit

I am watching Queenmaker: The Making of an IT Girl and the fact that there is an unexpected University of Illinois cameo during the era I was at school there is giving me massive flashbacks and I love it.

This will obviously shift as the #WorldCup2026 tournament progresses and teams get knocked out, but currently in any given game I am cheering for: 1. USA (I'm from here, thanks, I hate it) 2. The rest of the Americas 3. Africa 4. Asia 5. Underdogs

At home on a Saturday night, watching the NBA Finals, and drinking a THC infused mocktail mixer my father-in-law gave me. 2012 me wouldn't recognize me. And I'm okay with that.

Flavor Flav has invited the U.S. women's hockey team to Las Vegas to celebrate their Olympic victory. This comes after the team declined Donald Trump's invitation to attend the State of the Union.

I love that #TheBear puts John Mulaney -someone even more Chicago-coded than Jeremy Allen White- in a few episodes. STREET SMARTS.

I can't think a single unique thought lately except that if I could just not be unwell for one damn minute, I could probably fix the world. Now I'm gonna go take some Sudafed and sleep until my son wakes me up, so enjoy this all while it lasts, suckers.

Just had lunch with a friend who has a kid around my kid's age and she told me about the Daniel Tiger Conspiracy subReddit and I immediately looked up Curious George (my kid's current obsession show) and it did NOT disappoint. In summary, mom friends are so important.

I can imagine a lot of things… but sometimes what life throws at you by chance is beyond our wildest dreaming. But maybe we should try anyway, what do you say? Read my latest, and imagine with me.

I forgot how on Al Gore's internet you post something borderline benign and people are in your mentions with their dumpster fire bot takes like your whole reason for posting wasn't to try and forget that authoritarian AI is taking over the world. WHOOPS MY BAD.

A message from the streets of Chicago: Stop Silencing Dissenters
A stop sign in the foreground with a pedestrian bridge going over a road behind it. Below the white STOP text on the red, octagonal sign is a red sticker that reads "silencing dissenters" in white text. Together, the sign reads Stop Silencing Dissenters.
