I'm kind of spiraling about my lack of preparedness for potential emergencies because I just didn't have money to get that stuff done this summer, and I just have a bad feeling right now. I added some things that would be helpful to my wishlist just in case. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

That is the third time I had to get out of bed to go make sure I didn't unlock the door the last time I got up to check if it was locked. I hate my brain.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

“they were always like this” yes they were but they didn’t feel like they could say it out loud at a campaign rally and it was better when they didn’t feel like they could do this

You know what? I AM a single issue voter. No fascism. There's my single issue.

B just said "mamamama" (which means "more" when he's in the high chair) AND DID THE SIGN FOR MORE This is huginormous

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

Pfff, sounds like a skill issue on the part of the husbands to me.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Turns out you can mistake this for plain old garden variety anxiety and depression for decades

Too true.

I can't keep spending all this money on frozen pancakes, and I think B is getting bored with plain ones, but he makes too big a mess with blueberry ones. So I made him a batch with some pureed peaches mixed in. I think they're his new favorite food. (Too bad only about half turned out okay, lol)

Gross. M got a text out of the blue, "now recruiting border patrol agents." You're barking up the wrong tree there.

Get your pumpkin carving kit *now* before it's later tonight and you convince yourself a steak knife will work just fine, but it won't and you'll be posting on Bluesky saying, "I just lacerated myself carving a pumpkin. CPSC is going to be so disappointed in me :( "

I hate that I have to ask again, but the electric bill was higher than I was expecting, and groceries were way too much as always. We got all that covered, but have nothing left to get gas with. $50 would fill the tank, if anyone can help. Paypal.me/brokenqueene

Something I wish more people would realize.

Million dollar idea: double drink coasters, like figure-8 shape for all of us who need two drinks at all times and don't want to keep track of two different coasters (especially me right now because the baby thinks they're chew toys)

Yes, body, I know I waited too long to eat. But do you really think the nausea, dizziness, brain fog, irritability, and shaky hands are helping us fix that situation any faster??

Every 2wks like clockwork i get pissed off all over again about the shift differential everyone gets but me. Because the amount we keep coming up short is less than that. This problem would not exist if I wasn't getting screwed.

Idk what reminded me of this, but...my trichotillomania started up during my rebellious teen phase, and after a childhood of hearing on repeat that "God knows the exact number of hairs on your head," I have to wonder if on some level I started pulling them out to be like "Yeah? How about now? 😝"
