My kiddo started high school this year. He doesn’t have a phone. NONE of his teachers believe him, he has to have one to upload his assignments. Guess they better give him a phone, data, etc. because if required, it must be provided. Frustrating. Guess I’m emailing teachers tonight.

The gift of National Park land is theft from the American people. If you aren’t seeing it, open your eyes. He is taking everything he can from us. Reaching into every pocket. Public lands belong to all of us. If you’re not enraged yet, you’re either getting rich via grift or not paying attention.

Kiddo had his first NICA mtn bike race yesterday and CRUSHED it. Couldn’t have been more proud. He just likes to ride, joined the HS team, rode all summer, and did amazing!! Love having another bike buddy! We are so lucky to live by such world class riding.

If dems lose midterms I’m terrified that trump will get 2 more supreme picks. Him seating 5 justices will be a death knell for this country for generations. It’s already bad with 3. Cannot imagine 5. Also if he picks Mike Lee… at least we won’t have him as a senator? Please register and vote.

Wow. How was the birthright ruling not unanimous????? Rulings this week are absolutely horrifying. More of you have trans humans in your lives than you know and the court should be ashamed. Also giving executive more power? If Thomas resigns and we get another lifetime justice installed by trump…

Wow. @slcmoves.bsky.social /SLC just sent notice, green vehicle parking stickers will expire July 1. Every move SLC.GOV makes screams leave the city. Tax for hockey, STR licensing cash grab, property tax increase, utilities increase, and now taking the EV perk of parking. Yet a raise for the mayor.

Ginger @gingerfontaine.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Called my senator today. Mike Lee still put through his amendment to kill the roadless rule and is hoping to destroy any wild places left in the US. Heartbroken.

Did anyone else get the letter from Utah State Capitol, I think SB153, about our voter records in Utah? That one was under my radar and now we can’t protect our voter records in any meaningful way. How disappointing. Chipping away at our freedoms and privacy from all angles.

Ginger @gingerfontaine.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Trump should take Mike Lee to be his next AG. Utah has been done with him as a senator for a while but he has that pesky R behind his name so the straight ticket party R’s keep him in office. Against all of our best interests. He will def be worse than Pamela Jo.

When talking about the new Utah congressional map, it would be amazing if they would stop calling them maps favoring dems. They are fair maps that keep neighbors together. Makes it sound gerrymandered for dems. My rep should not be the same as the rep for St. George. Or even Tooele. I’m in a city!

We all knew where this country was headed when Reagan removed Jimmy Carter’s solar panels from the White House. Going backward ever since. Surprised the current occupant hasn’t removed Obama’s solar panels yet. Does he even realize his residence is powered by solar? Installed by Obama? Unlikely.

When the state of Utah wants you to have unfettered access to horse meds but the federal govt won’t approve Moderna’s mRNA vax for flu? I’m so tired. And heartbroken. Utah takes 45 days every year and basically decides how to make our lives worse in every way. And republicans? Want you to die.

What?? CIA World Factbook? Tried to look something up with the kids and it’s just… gone? It is (was?!) an amazing resource for researching other countries. Archives? Help! Is there another link to get to the older references? I don’t know how to use the wayback machine. www.cia.gov/stories/stor...

Utah… we don’t need Rob Bishop again. Seriously he was in office since 78! We need young vibrant people with new ideas and fresh outlooks. The old white guy isn’t our core demographic any longer. Make it stop. #utpol

Done with the Santa tasks and now I am opening the bedroom window to sleep because it’s too hot. It’s 56 degrees. Outside. On December 24. At midnight. IN UTAH!! It’s fine. Everything is fine. First year of not skiing on Christmas or Christmas Eve in decades. Guess we will mountain bike tomorrow?

Ginger @gingerfontaine.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

This will be an unpopular opinion but Utah needs to reinstate vehicle safety inspections. I cannot tell you how many cars are unfit for driving, and more importantly, stopping… Bald tires and non-functioning brake lights everywhere! And everyone could use a reminder of how turn signals work!

Utah look outside to the North! G4 storm ? visible to the naked eye even with light pollution! Love the purple sky!

Biggest win of the night in my mind? Kids in Colorado will now all have FREE school lunch. #utpol should up their game. Instead of laws requiring guns and signs that we trust god Required! in school, maybe feed the children? Hungry kids can’t learn. #takenote signs and guns aren’t the answer.

I swear if one more app updates to a new version that makes it more complicated and adds 3 steps to what took one before, I’m going to rip out every piece of technology from our home and throw my phone into the ocean. Talking to you google home. Quickbooks online can also take a flying leap. Over it

. @rockymountainpower.bsky.social your agent/phone (waited 47 min) just told me I must have forgotten how expensive power is in the summer. And how net metering works. Unbelievably condescending. I have 42!!! solar panels on a new build and my bill is 191.00????! You’re out of your god damn minds.

Going to garden all day today. Plant late crops. Lettuces and radish. Because the news is alarming and we all need a break. Picked all my beets yesterday so I have a nice big patch of dirt.

Dear @qbhelp.bsky.social Please stop changing the online version and using AI. I’m begging you. All of the new upgrades are a complete downgrade and are making it unusable. It’s different every day! I’m ready to quit you for my BFF excel. Sadly I need you to invoice with a pay link. Please. Stop.

Ginger @gingerfontaine.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

I read the bill. Trying to find the updated one with senate amendments to dig into. Wrapping my brain around the absolute dagger Lisa Murkowski threw at the rest of the country. And the Jr. senator from Utah can f*^k all the way off. I’m heartbroken.

Ginger @gingerfontaine.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

Keep calling your senators. Once public lands are sold, they are unrecoverable. The bill that gives all to the wealthy will steal your public lands and make our NP system into a private enterprise. Keep the pressure on. Even red state senators need to hear from you!

My kiddo wanted to ski today. He saw the weather and thought… powder day. Sorry kid. Just drizzling wet snow and dirt patches. Still a good day on the mountain. Snowbird still delivering.

Took my 13 yo to the kilby block party. We played ping pong… DEVO slayed. New Order was phenomenal… thought it couldn’t get better, then Brandon Flowers joined them for a song. And then. The encore. Joy Division. Love will tear us apart. Was a perfect evening. And the sky was also showing off.

I would love to see the value of senate/congress member brokerage accounts from inauguration to today. Just for comparison.

Dear Jeff Bezos. I really don’t want to shop at WFM but it has a couple things my picky kid will eat. Tuesday I tried to get my bag credit. 20¢. You took that away! The cashier had no idea. Joke is on you, I got a discount that cost you 9 months of upfront bag credits! Should have just kept them.

If your heart isn’t shattering over this moment in history you are selfish and willfully ignorant. This admin will impact my kids for their lifetime. My heart is broken. He took a year of school from my kids the first time. I’m furious at those who gave him a second chance to finish off our future.

Tried the UTA ski bus today. It was amazing. Parked at the swamp lot. Waited 5 min for the bus. Relaxed the whole way up. Caught the bus home. No red snake! Wasn’t full up or down. Had an amazing powder day! We typically have 3+ so carpool lot but today was just me and one kiddo. He suggested it.

Hey SLC people. Get outside and look at the sunrise. The wasatch front is showing off.

The SLC school district just informed us of a data breach. As an employee I’m relieved only our email address was compromised. As a parent I’m HORRIFIED. Name. DOB. Address. Grade. Student ID. Contact info. Lunch status. Then the best part.. well at least no SS number… it might as well be.

So I’m helping my husband build an LS3 crate engine. I am now dreaming about parts, diagrams, and throttle body sizing. I also know what a hi ram air intake manifold looks like and how to run the vacuum hoses. Looking forward to the water pump arriving. Someone please send help.

Thought I was done with perms in the 80’s. But I currently have 12yo. Who wants a perm. A boy. Also I’m a pro now and will be setting appointments for all the neighborhood kids. WHO STARTED THIS??? Big Perm companies. All the little old ladies are gone and they need a new target audience is who.

So glad we procrastinated cutting our tree. Was a great excuse to go after school and get away from the awful air. Wolf Creek pass had NO Snow! Just now home and realized I’m not on the edge of getting sick all week… it’s the INVERSION!! We need a storm! And a way to fix this. Dying.

Celebrating Krampusnacht with schnitzel & spaetzle... All you naughty kids watch out…Or you will end up in the basket! My kids better put their running shoes on…

The krampus (devil) is running through the snow with birch switch in his hands and has a naughty child in a basket on his back.
