The Vances getting booed at the Kennedy Center is the most heartwarming thing I’ve seen in a while. I only wish it were longer and louder. More. MORE.

My kids and I do the NYT puzzles at bedtime together (WE TRY) and tonight my frustrated daughter roasted her twin brother by saying, “I wish I ate you in the womb” and my god only a multiple can roast their sib so hard! Oh we laughted for 10 straight minutes!

My sixth graders are performing in the school musical this weekend. It opens tomorrow. My heart is going to full on explode.

I volunteered to help direct traffic outside the grade school and my two main concerns are the men and the men.

I will always always always say something when I see something. And that gets me called a stupid fucking bitch quite often. Still gonna do it.

We all have a pact to hold out until 14 or freshman year.

Nobody prepared me for the full social lives of middle schoolers. Every day these kids meet at the park or someone’s house to hang out. It’s more than I ever did as a kid. And they don’t have phones! It’s all sports & homework & singing & all the things. I had no idea! I’m a big fan of Gen Alpha.

I’m not watching. Never have, never will. We’ve been doing this for almost a decade. That waste of space doesn’t hold power over me. I’m watching dog videos. Protect your peace. The sound bites will be there tomorrow.

I was JUST explaining to my kids the other day how we have the right to peaceful protest. It’s one of our rights as Americans.

Melody Beattie changed my life forever. Co-Dependent No More was a game changer for me early in my recovery. I’m forever thankful to her and her gentle wisdom. She died end of February. Rest in peace.

We just saw the new Captain America movie and all I could think was I’d rather the Red Hulk be President than what we have.

Just want to post in solidarity with all the parents clawing their way through homework chaos. It doesn’t happen often here but when it does, I remind myself to not take whatever gets screamed personally. 💪

I regret taking my husbands last name as my legal name. I’ve done it twice as I’ve been married twice. My daughter knows to never ever take anybody else’s name and if my son marries a woman, I’ll strongly suggest the same for her.

I have at least one child sick at home & he says to me, “do you have any more dogs today?” I said,” no I’m done” he said, “good. I feel better when you’re here with me.” He’s snuggled in the basement & I hear the sweet comforting sounds of Star Wars on the tv. Safe. Cozy. What a privilege.

MAGA wearing mirrored sunglasses and holding a fish in Florida commenting on my accidentally viral post: “WHY DO ALL YOU LIBS WEAR THOSE BIG DUMB GLASSES” Me laughing as I block them, “um the bigger the glasses the smarter and more angry the broad, SIR”

“season” and “journey” are immediate triggers.

My kids and I just keep watching the #HighSchoolMusical movies. And singing. And dancing. Because nobody can take our joy.

Katy McDermott Maher @katymcdmaher.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

The WORST part of interacting with MAGA is just how dim and unfunny they are. No nuance or sarcasm or cleverness at all. Nada. And the spelling. These stereotypes exist for a reason. And they’re all SO ANGRY. I thought we were great now why you so mad?

Katy McDermott Maher @katymcdmaher.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Honest to god kids are just ALWAYS sick. And the parents who continue to send kids to school sick repeatedly brag about their kids never missing school. I see you.

Oh man. My friend just texted that SNL is her longest monogamous relationship and if that ain’t the truth! #SNL50

Do you know how many people you know who are on anti depressants/anti anxiety meds? You don’t or you wouldn’t support anyone who wants to take them away. This is begging for more self medicating and taking of one’s own lives. Monstrous.

I HATE that I like Tom Sandoval on the Traitors! I’m a pump rules girl so this conflict is HEAVY.

I’m a recovering addict. Should I be banished? I did IVF. Should my kids not be here? We are agnostic. Should we be thought less than because we believe in helping our fellow man? We believe in and choose public education. Should we be punished for bettering society with free kindness and education?

Katy McDermott Maher @katymcdmaher.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

SAME. and we know folks who voted for this who have kids with 504s and IEPs. How does this help anyone??

Katy McDermott Maher @katymcdmaher.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Want to weigh in? We live in IL & attend Chicago Public Schools. We believe in public school & also cannot afford nor want private or religious education. I was going to start a 504 plan for my son’s migraines. I’m told this is protected by state. All these kids with IEPs -what will happen to them?

Katy McDermott Maher @katymcdmaher.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Have there ever been as many mothers and grandmothers voting AGAINST their daughters than right now? I mean the men I get, I hate it but I get men stomping out women, but the women?

Oh the way I watched this Much Ado About Nothing 800 times and fell in love with all of them

All the real artists resigning from the Kennedy center. This shit hurts. Art is resistance!

Yeah the world is terrible but my 12 year olds just made up a whole story about a naked mole rat family and then did dances and made me laugh so hard I cried and choked. So that stuff right in front of our real life faces can be real good.

The line from Silo to Paradise is STRAIGHT I tell you what. Whew.

Again, I don’t like a lot of men. But that James Marsden is something. Wildly versatile and always good.

Let me tell you how much I love being the house that not only do all these kids want to come to but that my kids want to hang out at with their friends. This is the stuff I only dreamed of years ago. I grew up in a “don’t mess anything up” house and our house now is, um, not that. Have fun!

Katy McDermott Maher @katymcdmaher.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

I’m on ep 4 of the jackal and let me just say, inject this into my veins. Also so many bonus points for all the Radiohead.

I got a #Shoresy jersey. I fear not one person will know what it is when I wear it. I don’t know anyone in real life who loves it and Letterkenny and watches them on repeat like I do.
