Turns out all the unrelated threads of my life were leading up to the moment today when I named a baby chicken "Mi-'shell' Foucault." My work is done y'all; I can die satisfied. #QueenOfDadJokes

As we get ready for the week ahead, here's a quote from Dorothy Day to wrap up the weekend. "The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?" #BetterTogether

Found the kid playing with her dog instead of Zooming with her teacher. She told me not to worry. She took a screenshot of herself “paying attention,” then cut her video & replaced it with the picture. “It’s a gallery view of 20 kids, mom. They can’t tell.” She is 10. #COVID19

Idk what stage of #quarantine y'all are in, but we've hit the "If you people complain having nothing to do one more time then the second this is all over we're plundering your college fund and taking y'all to Serbia to join the resistance, AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHO'S BORED" stage.

Content warnings! Trigger warnings! This is why we have them, people! Examples: "CW: Corona humor" "TW: Covid-19 complaining" (you get the idea.)

BREAKING: The repeal of #NetNeutrality just went into effect. Your cable company now has even more power to screw you over and censor online content. But Congress can still stop this. Go to https://t.co/6f1leyFK9I to contact your reps now! via @IDLtweets
