Family of two Gen X and two Gen Z just voted

Making my own coffee creamers and playing with flavor combinations. This could get interesting.

My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed this morning. I have three types of soup in progress so they will be grab and go for her this week. Creamy potato Spicy tomato rice Chicken and dumpling

ENOUGH!!!!! Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen! This timeline really sucks.

The u-haul is packed and my youngest is moving out 😢

Coffee maker broke this morning. Time wasted to clean up the flooded mess and lack of caffeine has made me cranky. Hopefully your day started better.

Oh, the joys of home ownership. While in the process of removing and replacing the screens on porch, we discovered nothing connecting the footers to the roof. Getting bids to fix it later this week

I know money has taken over politics. I am disappointed in @dfl.org tactics around convention registration. My Gen Z kids have been boots on the ground in our community. They have no excess money. Relentlessly demanding donations for registration disenfranchises desperately needed young voters.

With 150GW solar, India achieved its target of having 50% of its total installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in June 2025, reaching this milestone 5 years ahead of its original 2030 deadline set under the Paris Agreement www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/10/i...

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Ahead of this weekend’s No Kings rally, there are smaller gatherings happening across the state where people are cooking up their signs for the times. Organizers expect tens of thousands of people to flood the Capitol grounds. It has been designated the flagship No Kings rally.

This is about the population of Iowa. Imagine every resident of Iowa being displaced within the span of a few weeks.

Spent the afternoon making our views known to Minnesota lawmakers

Haha 🤣

MN-1 we have options and a chance to oust bootlicker Brad Finstad. Jake is actually listening to people in the district. Brad only sends out White House talking points while refusing to face us.

This is from MN-1 Rep Brad Finstad’s news letter. Are they now giving out CDLs like flyers for a Vegas club? The admin is arbitrarily removing legal statuses of immigrants. The DOT is now threatening livelihoods of almost 0.2M people and impacting businesses. Bootlicker Brad is cheering for it.

I really need to unload the washer and fold the towels, but I don’t want to disturb them.

Update from rural MN. DHS is losing the hearts and minds of MAGA elected officials. Our mayor is often seen wearing his MAGA merch. Today, he observed DHS agents following a school bus. They were identifying kids to use as bait. It was enough to change his stance on allowing them into our community.

MN neighborhood wildlife.

76 hours of induced labor and a caesarean. At the end of that, a truly wonderful and amazing person entered the world. Happy Birthday @h20cat.bsky.social

Happy caturday. I going to spend some time snuggling with these two. Embrace moments of joy whenever you find them.

Halloween decorations are out. View from my bed. Hopefully, I will remember that I put them out there when I wake up at 3:00am.

I’m binging the livestream of the bears eating salmon in Katmai National Park. There are so many sockeye salmon that the river is red. Will salmon prices go down? Just curious. I have been checking on the bears for many years and have never seen this many fish.

Happy caturday

Here is how they are spinning the BBB

Alright, I hate to be a salesman, but the regicidal laser loon I drew is now on a t-shirt. All proceeds will go to supporting future demonstrations like No Kings Day, as well as smaller and/or unplanned ones. mn50501-org-merch.itemorder.com/shop/product...

My youngest child just passed his driving test!!!!!!!

This is what our MAGA rep wants us to believe about the big beautiful bill. This is from his weekly newsletter.

Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝 Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive. Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.

She is stealing my hair brush again. Happy caturday.

There were multiple rallies in MN today. Thank you to the nice lady who gave my daughter a sign to hold.

Adding the senate account @klobuchar.senate.gov

@amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov don’t sell us out as @schumer.senate.gov plans to. We elected you to fight for the people. Don’t cower to fear of a shutdown. We have been feeling pain since Doge came in with the chainsaw. Now the cowardly minority leader wants to cede power to them.

If only Rubio would listen to Rubio 🙁 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGtcq5W...

@manifestsanity.bsky.social seek peace and light.

While the housing affordability crisis driving homelessness is ignored, people die. In Detroit, two children froze to death in the van they were living in after temperatures reached 12 degrees overnight. Poverty is a policy choice. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We said goodbye to our precious boy this morning. He was my shadow. Our home feels so empty without him.

For absolutely no reason, I am belting out show tunes at the top of my lungs. Focusing on songs from Six, Wicked, and Joseph.

@fuffyferrets.bsky.social your art is being prominently displayed in my newly renovated kitchen.

Can you believe that a little play on words resulted in a lifetime together? Love you @twitchybaro.bsky.social

This was not the help I was looking for
