Musical theater even at the community level is hardcore. The kiddo had a successful first show in Shrek and is now a lead supporting in Freaky Friday! She’s playing Fletcher Blake. She has a 30 second singing solo and has a ton of lines. It’s awesome when your kid finds their “thing”!

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

First microdose of retatrutide shot today. I’m stacking with tirzepatide to see how targeting the extra glucagon receptor goes. I love tirz but I get a really bad site reaction each time so I’m titrating up with reta and back down with tirz. I may switch tirzepatide out completely with cagri.

It’s so depressing to see how underfunded the art/creative programs are for kids in this area. The theatre the kids perform at is even rented and they don’t get to even step on stage until the actual performance. Any tips on soliciting local businesses for sponsorships and/or donations?

The sickening way McBride is treated in congress never ends. At some point, you have to just stop taking it. I don't know where that point is for McBride, I know where it was for my own wife, you have to hit back. At least in this case, a fellow Dem did afterwards and said "Mr. Speaker" in return.

Rep. Mary Miller introduces Rep. Sarah McBride as “The Gentleman from Delaware, Mr. McBride.” Performative cruelty.

Trump is moving faster than Hitler

Miriam IRL@miriam.blacksky.app

Hitler became Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. Just 7 weeks later, the Nazis opened the first concentration camp, Dachau, on March 22, 1933. It took 8 years of normalization and escalation before the first death camp was built for genocide. We are past warning signs. We need to act now.

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including: - Holocaust Remembrance Day - MLK Day - Juneteenth

It’s the first day in weeks I haven’t had to run errands, have a field trip, go to rehearsals, libraries, and as an introvert that battles with burn out after one outing, it felt great. I honestly miss the days where we never left the house because of Covid.

I have a new level of respect for the musical theater kids/families. We have rehearsals 4 times a week, 2 hours each day. Some of these kids have multiple shows they’re rehearsing for locally, dance classes, vocal classes, etc. Even though she’s tired, she’s still excited and in disbelief!

The kiddo had her first ever audition this weekend for a a local musical theater production of Shrek the Musical, Jr. and a LOT of kids auditioned and she got casted! We’re so so proud of her and her/my schedule is going to be packed with 8-10 hours of rehearsals per week and 3 show days! 🎭

GLP-1 hormone research goes back to the 1970's, its testing to treat diabetes goes back to 1993, phase II clinical trials for Ozempic go back to 2008. Your desire to see others punished for losing weight 'the wrong way' is ignorant, mean spirited, and most importantly a tired & lousy joke

can’t wait for all those class-action lawsuits in 5-10 years when we see what the actual long-term effects of ozempic are

Of course right before a giant snowstorm, our heater craps out. I’m super thankful for my electric blanket I got for Christmas. It must have been an omen. 😅

Not gonna lie, I’m pretty proud of my infectious disease containment procedures. It’s day 5 of mitigating any further flu spread. Minimized contact,still managed care. Masks work. Quarantines work. I don’t have the time or patience to get sick. Still making him stay in one section for 2 more days.

I don’t know a lot of things but I do know it looks like the east coast is about to get hit with at least 10-12 inches. They may as well name this storm, “The Rabbit”.

Ending the New Year with @zuph.nomtechbytes.com bedridden with the flu. Now, we have to test our personal in home containment procedures so no one else in the house gets sick. I’m thankful we have a spare bedroom in the house, masks, and air filteration everywhere. 😷😷🥴

Emma is 2 today! We’re taking her out to the store so she can pick out her birthday present or presents 🐶🐾🎁! #bernedoodles #dogsofbluesky

A sad side effect of tirzepatide for me is the lack of enthusiasm for holiday sweets. Everything is okay in moderation. Obviously a cookie here and there isn’t going to stop progress but even the smell disinterests me. Baking has been a tradition for the kiddo and I but this year is different. 🫤

The kiddo and I are holiday baking all this weekend to make gift boxes for our neighbors and friends/family. We’re filling each container with: Oreo truffle balls Chocolate chip cookies Chocolate covered pretzel rods Ricotta cheese cookies Reeces Peanut butter cup cookies

Not going to lie, I’m stockpiling tirzepatide with the FDA cracking down. I checked in with my provider and they did a body comp analysis scan, I gained one whole pound of muscle with a 14 pound body weight loss in 48 days. I have no doubts they’re coming for the powdered tirz too.
