Unreal to see #MetGala and #SCOTUS news juxtaposed like they are tonight. Don’t mind what’s happening to your rights to bodily autonomy. Look at these glitzy gowns instead. Surreal, but exactly representative of the culture we’ve created.
So far our #hotvax#fieldtripseason has included a movie, trips to a state capital, 2 children’s museums, ice skating, a university art museum, 2 zoos, and hiking to waterfalls. What should we do next? #homeschooling
Public service announcement of the day: Disney+ has curated all of the Simpsons Tree House of Horror episodes. You have to scroll to nearly the end of the Disney Halloween series and movies category, but there it will be. An episode for every day in October.
