The White Sands visitor's center is the sort of place that, if Trump himself saw it in person, he would call it "a dump" (and then hire a subpar contractor to fix it up badly). But instead, the Trump Interior Dept says it's "against the best interests of the American people" to make improvements.

SEXISM STRIKES AGAIN I have always been the parent who makes appointments for our son, including with @unm.edu Hospital. My number is the contact number on the account. My husband knows jack shit about when the appointments are or who to even call about them. AND YET—

In conclusion, Go Aggies.

Addendum: we were asked at one point whether we'd like texts for bills and scheduling. I never really saw those but never thought much of it. THEY HAD BEEN SENDING TEXTS TO MY HUSBAND'S WORK PHONE THAT CANNOT RECEIVE TEXTS.

I just called UNM-H to pay whatever I can and make sure they have the right address for us. Sure enough, the address is wrong and *I*, the person who does all the work for these appointments for our son, am not authorized to update it because *my husband* got listed as the guarantor of the account.

Just another Monday morning of being disappointed by multiple different people who I’m paying thousands of dollars to help me get shit done

Read a story about 3 kids abandoned in the Barcelona train station in the 1970s and they didn't know their parents' names or anything to help them get home. The oldest was like, 6! So you'd better believe my 2.5yo knows his parents' and grandparents' names and we're working on his last name.

I was MADE for fall, this is the best weather EVER. Rainy, 60 degrees, light breeze, low clouds sitting in the canyons.

Today, the toddler fell asleep in my arms for the first time in forever. His sweet soft eyelids and his soft shoulders. The way he held me tight for one last long hug as I laid him down. These are the rare perfect moments.*

I could cry with joy. Today may be the last day of summer in Los Alamos. It’s 84 and a little too sunny (not that bad compared to where I lived in Texas, but I have actually be out in it now that I have a little kid). Tomorrow, it’s down to the low/mid-70s and rainy for the foreseeable future!

Each year, I feel increasingly affected by 9/11 stories. I think maybe it's that with every year I grow older, I meet more kinds of people, I understand more what it means to love them more deeply, I know what it is to love a child preciously and fear that they could meet the same fate some day.

I was a sophomore in high school when it happened, and I truly did not understand the gravity of the moment. Maybe it's because we got to just sit and watch the news in every period that day and while it felt very real, it also felt like a day off from doing schoolwork.

It's horrible to think of anyone's last moments being so terrifying, so confusing. It makes it almost impossible to endure stories of tragedy anywhere in the world, of which there are too many.

WTF @ Moen and/or Home Depot, this is an insane screenshot for one of your product videos. Get Moen! It will make you cry and your mascara run comically!
