I desperately need help. My SIL is a diehard @ChicagoBears fan. She's celebrating her 50th and I have no idea what to get her. Does anyone have any fantastic, creative gift ideas? She's a HUGE @D_Hest23 fan but already has a jersey of his. I'm at an absolute loss! Help!
The sun rose where I am. I spent the night not sleeping in my hotel room. It was dark and slow and lonely.
I had thought if it happened it wouldn’t be as hard as last time. Because it would be less of a shock. But it was harder, actually, and for the same reason. No one went into this naively. This was chosen.
But now my people are checking in with me, and vice versa. The sun is up. I already feel less alone.
This is me checking in with you: you’re not alone and you’re NOT wrong. This is going to feel bad. It’s going to BE bad. But the sun rose. You deserve its warmth, every day, and we are already closer to a future in which this will be the fucked up past.
Take care of one another and yourself. See you tonight if that’s helpful to you.
@dyllyp I often think of your story of your father at a funeral and it still makes me laugh. I'm sorry for your loss and I'm sorry that this country has become worse. Virtual hugs. 2/2
@dyllyp I was thinking about it this morning as I tried to muster the mental strength to be a present, kind parent : our country elected a leader who let so many people die - many people's parents. The lack of accountability is staggering. 1/2
@EmbryEthan I insisted that myself, my husband, & our 2 toddlers get our passports. All in it was about $1k but so worth it to have the small piece of mind that if the Handmaid's Tale becomes reality instead of fiction, we have the ability to quickly flee. Crazy? Maybe. Prepared? Yup.
Ever notice how forgiving loans is suddenly a big problem when students get much-needed relief, but nobody blinks an eye when billionaires get their PPP loans forgiven? Or when corporations are handed billions in subsidies?
Ah the ‘is Rocky Horror problematic’ chat. Through a 2024 lens - of course it is. But babies, being gay was *illegal* in England 6 years before Rocky was first staged in ‘73.
It was brave, bold & brilliant for its time. Look beyond the end of your own nose, just briefly. Please.
Vice President Kamala Harris will be the first president in history with experience in all 3 branches of government... judicial, legislative, and executive. So, to say this woman is not qualified or experienced to be president is solely based on racism and misogyny. We.see you.
