We jumped on the chicken bandwagon a year ago. I wrote about it for @northforker1 Check it out for important tips and advice, such as how to host a kid birthday party and chicken funeral on the same day in a pandemic! 🥴 https://t.co/mjYSRXh7Oq

@KJezerMorton Very ready for the gentle/mindful parenting trend to end and fully ready to embrace and subscribe to the Victorian Father era of parenting.

Is this permission to keep procrastinating? Asking for a friend.

Super profesh moments in time as a reporter working from home: leaving a voicemail for a police chief while your kids rapid fire squeeze your dog’s squeaky toy in the background 🫠🫠 #dayattheoffice

@JessGrose I’m invested now haha

[Cailin Riley @writeandride]

@JessGrose I am going to show this tweet to my editor whenever I need to make the same argument (which is frequently)

Also, I know that camps exist, but they cost https://t.co/MeVdSjRf7H.

I don’t know how to make memes, but the mother bear is me working from home in the summer with my kids out of school, and the ever increasing lineup of cars are all the stories I’m supposed to be filing….. 🆘🫠

Can we trade the sharks for some sea lions?

[Malik Earnest @MalikEarnest]

A group of people were chased by two Sea Lions at a beach in the La Jolla area of San Diego. Lifeguards were on standby in the water ensuring no one was hurt and the sea lions could easily make their way. It's recommended people stay at least 50 ft away from sea lions. 📹: Charli

These sharks need to back the F off. I have more than enough to worry about in the year of our Lord 2022.

Like, might I suggest a powder blue satin halter top nightmare that clings to your body and highlights every minor imperfection, suede kitten heels, a French twist with tendrils, iridescent lip gloss, and, the piece de resistance, thick white eyeliner?

The way kids dress for prom these days, it’s like they don’t understand that the whole point is to be able to look back at the photos in 20 years and be horrified at the fashion choices you made.

@tedcruz With absolutely not one single shred of respect, fuck you all the way to the depths of hell.

A reminder that in Texas K-12 students are banned from being taught the #1619 project, but an 18-year-old can purchase multiple assault weapons.

Two things I’m very good at: estimating the word count of an article I’ve written, and the dollar amount of a cart full of Costco goods. I’m disturbingly close on my estimates every time. My life is quite a thrill ride.

[Cailin Riley @writeandride]

I am ready to fight anyone trying to defend spring, aka, the worst season. The lack of warmth until the end, (preceded by endless rain), the ticks, the pollen. Don’t come at me with ideas of hope and new beginnings. It’s a coating of pollen dust and fear of tick-borne illness.

9-yr-old son: It’s called WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS. It’s about this boy and his two red dogs. It’s a fun story! I have two chapters left. Don’t tell me how it ends!

[Cailin Riley @writeandride]

Nothing will make you feel more like a real profesh journalist than having your kid scream “CAN YOU WIPE ME?!”at the top of their lungs while you’re conducting a phone interview. 🫠 #dayattheoffice

News flash: If you outlaw abortions, ban mask mandates, dictate what educators can teach in schools, and stop people from voting, you're not the party of "limited government."
