As a liberal, I feel so owned every time RFK Jr goes swimming in raw sewage. He better not do it again and again. There are only so many lib tears I can part with.

My daughter and some of the neighbor kids decided to run a lemonade stand. The Amazon driver stopped and Zelle-ed me four dollars for a cup of lukewarm, watery goodness. You are the best, Tauraun. #parentsky #kids #TauraunDaBomb

Son: Mama, when I grow up I’m going to be a soldier!
Daughter: No! You could get killed!
Son: I’m not going to get killed, I’ll just get some scratches and blood on me. Um…and maybe I’ll get an arm cut off.

Do all children wake up and spend the day saying fucked up shit, or just mine? #parentsky

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

One of my students wrote that Americans’ responses to COVID taught her “how many people would be the ones to cover the zombie bite in a movie.” Girl, preach. #teaching #kids

Asshole cat caught a snake in the backyard and dragged it in through the pet door to play with. Below, one small (okay VERY small, but still…) dead snake and the asshole in question…

I’m going to shit on his grave someday and I’m going to stop at an “all you can eat” corn restaurant first. #Trump

At the park with my twins and another kindergartener approached us. She said she’d seen us there before and asked questions about the twins’ school and where we lived. After she left, my daughter watched her with narrowed eyes then turned to me and said “do you think she’s a cop?” #parenting #kids

I’ve been trying to deactivate/delete my twitter account for months and the tech over there is so shit I can’t even log in. It keeps sending me through an endless loop of error messages and password resets. “Cosplay Hitler” runs everything he touches straight into the ground.

So firing 80,000 VA workers (most veterans themselves) only to turn around and hire the goddamn traitors who tried to help you overthrow the government?

The Right spent decades telling angry, unstable men and women that they needed private arsenals to protect from a tyrannical government.

Then they became the tyrannical government. #Elon #Tesla

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Can we speed ahead to the “last days in the bunker” part? I’m not enjoying the 1933 chapter of this story at all. #Trump

“Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.”

Daughter: (looking in the bathroom mirror at her school) Mom, what’s the scary lady’s name again? Bloody Marty?

Me: ha! Bloody Mary.

J: I’m going to try it. Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary…

Me: you’re doing it here?

J: yeah. If she comes, she’ll just haunt the school.

Me: Smart!
