Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 22/08/2026This was a non-conversation. Solely to upset people. This is my problem with these types of conversations. They are fake. 18 years of your daughter in your home and NOW she finds out Harvard is a no-no? GMAB. And are girls the only ones to be corrupted? GMAFB. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Watching the news stories about Sean Duffy explaining on his TV show why his daughter won’t be going to Harvard is such a rage bait. Why was this a topic of conversation for the show? When I had to choose a college, my parents gave me guidelines for where, what and how.1/2 100
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 07/08/2026The things that you you think are common knowledge but are not. So, I am well aware that many “younger” humans don’t own a PC. However, I was just walking one of my offsprings (well into adulthood) through their first laptop and windows. They are hysterical learning about Windows. Crazy! 000

Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Afterwards it occurred to me that Puerto Rican mamas and abuelas don’t do this “gentle parenting “ Just not in our DNA. Any other survivors of Puerto Rican parenting? 010
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 26/02/2026After talking to them yesterday and putting together a plan to manage the next 2 weeks, I turned around and texted the children, spouse, siblings and niblings. I lit into them and laid down the expectations. 2/3 120
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 26/02/2026One of my children is having mental health issues and trouble coping with work and family. They are a healthcare professional in a demanding job and the parent of 3 teenagers. 1/3 120
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 19/02/2026And Marco can care less. His family must be so proud. 040
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Family have fought in the US military and US war. We are full citizens and worthy of being treated as such. We pull our weight. We add to the culture. We should be treated as equals and celebrated. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Consider myself a patriotic American. No one talks about how hurtful it is to have fellow citizens (some whose families have probably been here less time than mine) treat us as unworthy of being Americans. In the 100 years since PR has been part of the US more than a dozen men in my immediate 3/4 100
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 11/02/2026But I was left confused by the racism in the storyline. It certainly wasn’t what I had been taught at home. Fast forward several decades and we are now at a stage where even having an American citizen sing in Spanish is cause for outrage. I am proud of my island and not pro-statehood but still 2/4 100
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 11/02/2026I was born in Puerto Rico. I was always taught to love the US and brought up to know that I am a US citizen. The movie South Pacific came out when I was was in grade school and I learned the lyrics because my parents loved the movie and my dad used to sing Some Enchanted Evening to my mom. 1/4 110
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Some incredibly obtuse person posted that the problem isn’t vaccination but parents who don’t know how to treat a rash and a fever. Unbelievable. 010
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 09/01/2026FIRST: Kill and harm American citizens for protesting. THEN: threaten another country with invasion for “killing and harming citizens that are protesting” Whiplash is a real possibility. 010
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I feel like I am on a roller coaster with this president. FIRST: pardon Juan Hernandez of Honduras convicted of working with drug cartels because it’s terrible to do that to a president of a country THEN: kidnap a different president of a country for “working with drug cartels.” 110
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 28/12/2025Stasis week. I have all these things that start in the new year, new budget, new healthcare, cute new clothes. Sitting here waiting….. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 04/12/2025I call that a good start for SC. Now do Joe “You Lie!” Wilson. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Saw Hesgeth backtrack on the second strike. What an fnkn coward. “Mr. Sec. Of War”. Take it like a man sir. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 03/12/20251/2 Wow! I have read many of Mr Scalzi’s books and enjoyed them all but this one freaked me out. I actually had to go back and check the publication date. He wrote this BEFORE COVID was a thing. Amazing. Please write more Hadens books. 010
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 03/12/2025I just finished reading @scalzi.com book Unlocked. It had been on my TBR list for a couple of years and I finally got tired of waiting for my library to get it and bought it. 1/2 120

Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 03/11/2025I worked at a healthcare clearinghouse. It was well known that Cigna’s SOP was to deny claims at least once. My son had a collapsed lung in HS and his admission got denied for prior authorization. I asked the girl how to know his lung would collapse beforehand. 0120

Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 17/10/2025Sigh. I am 73 and serve as the phone police for my husband (77)and mom(94). It’s a never ending battle. 170
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 05/10/2025She is a black woman who was in Iraq and is now in the Pentagon. She made it through the first Trump administration. This one is too far. 010
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 01/10/2025These types of comments make me so freaking angry. It’s a “say anything” administration. No relationship to reality or actual meaning. IMO, It’s actually worse than if they used actual real arguments for their racism because they are cheapening intelligent discussions. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 01/10/2025He tried to go for a cutesy remark with actual military leaders. Good for the generals. I have a friend who has dedicated their army career to this country. They were up for general last year. Instead, they are leaving a job they love 160
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 28/08/2025I am worried for my children and grandchildren. My daughter is a nurse and has had COVID 4 times. It has wrecked her health. She became type 1 diabetic after one bout and got pericarditis another time. She likes to say that dying from Covid isn’t the worst thing that can happen. 130
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Ah, George. I have been in love with him since I was 12. 60 years and running. 010
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 20/08/2025I am Puerto Rican. I grew up with flocked red velvet sofas encased in plastic and lamps with hanging crystals and beads. And I can honestly say that this is worse than anything that my abuela had. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 17/08/2025Me too. It’s also amazing to me how many episodes mirrored what is happening now. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 30/07/2025Puzzle me this Batman. I hear from the Administration that 1. Tariffs are paid by the other countries. 2. They will increase production in US. 3. The money we make is going towards lowering debt. Then why the fuck is Trump working so hard on these deal? Scratches head. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 23/07/2025She is never going to say that Trump was anywhere near Epstein and those girls. She will make a deal and lie,lie, lie. And poof she will go free. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Yeah, no. My husband delivered appliances for a living. He delivered in SE MA where many of the apartments were 3 and 4 floor walkups and he would (5’8”, 165) carry refrigerators up the stairs on his back. Today, he has degenerated disks and arthritis in his knees. He had to retire. Idiot. 082
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 10/07/2025I have been in positions where I was needed to make emergency decisions at all hours. When I worked those jobs, I knew ahead of time what I needed to do, who to call and when so that there was little to no delay. This is ridiculous. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 06/07/2025Just like the ones on ACA and don’t realize it’s Obamacare. 130
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 21/06/2025With so much attention focused on the threats to IMLS and libraries in the federal budget, we can’t lose sight of what is happening at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). action.everylibrary.org/nara2025 via @everylibrary.bsky.social #library #librariesaction.everylibrary.orgNational Archives and Records Administration Should Never be Politicized.The cuts to NARA will first impact public-facing services. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Those who complain about celebrating Juneteenth are right. We shouldn’t have to celebrate the fact that humans had to spend another 2 and a half years in bandage. There shouldn’t be a Juneteenth. But we owe it to those who had this time stolen from them to remember that. 030
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 18/06/2025This clearly shows that these “federal agents” have been pulled into service without any training. In fact, they probably received reverse training being told that they didn’t have to allow for questions and just arrest first. 000
Maorine @mofongoallday.bsky.social · 15/06/2025My dad was the best. He opened up a world of books, art and music to me. He instilled a sense of self-respect in me. He stood up for the oppressed, poor and needy. He loved his family. His faith in God was unwavering. I still miss him after 20 years and am grateful for him. Happy Father’s Day, papi. 130
