Christina Ladam @xtinaladam.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Why do the captions on the Musk trailer say this? Like the words spoken are “creating the department of DOGE” — one syllable. How does that translate to “donated organs”? Weird autocorrect? 000
Christina Ladam @xtinaladam.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Happy birthday, Dad. I miss you, but your voice in my head is my compass. You would’ve loved this Fred Flintstone steak, wish we could share your favorite meal together. 001

Christina Ladam @xtinaladam.bsky.social · 03/09/2026When I called my mom to talk about it, she focused on what she always does -- the fact that we have not had a female president. People with dementia repeat the same points and that's the one that she is most upset about. 000
Christina Ladam @xtinaladam.bsky.social · 03/09/2026My Mom always told me about this event with Steinem at Keene State. I can't remember the details and she can't either. She either sat on stage with Steinem or picked her up at the airport. But my mom ended up running for office that year.

Christina Ladam @xtinaladam.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Getting worked up about the way people responded to a colleague’s death was very annoying, treating responses like a litmus test. I think it is a normal human response to remember the best of people who have just died. 120
