Exhausted single mom. Neurospicy kids. Neurospicy herself. Deconstructing my religion to reconstruct my faith. Escapes into books. Medicates with music and caffeine. Love wins.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

It’s a blue moon tonight. I’m releasing others’ expectations of me. I’m releasing society’s expectations of me. I want to live more authentically and fearlessly.

Just call God “she” or “her” or “mother” and you will find out very quickly how many Christians refuse to see God’s image in women. As if calling God by a feminine pronoun is demeaning to God rather than naming part of who God is. This is the worship of patriarchy.

Trying not to be petty at work right now. It’s hard when someone says that $6K/year for dog food (for 2 dogs) is more than some people spend on their kids. Clearly, they have no kids. $6K is the low end for my grocery budget per year with 2 kids. Also, they’re only spending $4.5K. Math!

Most days, I’m fine single-handedly raising my kids. Some days, I sit in the car for a few extra minutes, bathing in the special kind of lonely that comes from not having someone else to share this with.

It must be *infuriating* to TSA agents, who are NOT getting paid, to see lazy ICE agents, who ARE getting paid, lounging about the airport and doing nothing to help either them or passengers.

I'm not concerned about those who question God or even doubt God. That’s just a natural part of faith. My concern are those who claim to know the mind of God better than anyone and act as though they have the right to impose their beliefs on everyone else.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I haven’t listened any music today and I’ve been quietly working at home today. My ears have certainly been overwhelmed lately and, clearly, needed a break. (Near) silence is something I get to enjoy often these days.

We’re officially cancelling the “guilty” part of guilty pleasures. Do not feel guilty about that cringy early 2000’s TV comfort show. Do not feel guilty about that spicy book. Do not feel guilty about that smooth smooth yacht rock or that 90s sitcom with 127 episodes a season. You’ve all earned it.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

STORM ALERT: This is my watercolor print We Grew Through Storms. I love watching storms, but I don't love being in the middle of them. Like many of us are right now. We can never predict how we are going to fare. But looking back we can say we've grown. So my hope is we will become better.

I need a mental health week. The American dream is dead. We need to retool our entire government. People are dying, disappearing and scared. My ex is being emotionally manipulative. I’m grieving that I will, definitively, never have a co-parent. I’m exhausted.

I’m a newbie with tarot. When I pulled The Tower for my weekly theme this week… …I never imagined it was going to be this. Renee Good didn’t deserve that. My emotions and mental capacity need to regroup. Please take care of yourselves out there. Take the breaks you need. Fight if/how/when you can.

I like to keep this space somewhat free from politics, but y’all. People really be out here comparing Zoran Mamdani, a mayor, to dictators of whole countries and empires. The power dynamics are not the same. Da fuck!!! Btw, I like Mamdani. He’s funny, down-to-earth and his wife is just *squee*

My grandma passed yesterday. We expected her go in July when she took a really bad turn. It’s bringing up some things that I just can’t sort out. Largely, I feel this sense of lost history — and a sense of greater responsibility as I’m, more or less, now the elder woman in my family line.

Read an article stating that Bluesky will never have the amount of users that the other place does. As if that’s a bad thing? There’s something to be said about quality over quantity. They can have their bot-infested dystopia over there, whilst we have tea and scones in front of the fire over here.
