Even if you’ve never heard of James Dobson, if you were raised in any type of evangelical church in the 80s to 90s, you were affected by his influence. May he have the afterlife he deserves. #jamesdobson

Indoctrination in the book aisles of the thrift store:

Psychology, theology, and spirituality in Christian counseling.

Prayer starters for busy moms. How to pray all day and still put the laundry away.

When helping hurts. How to alleviate poverty without hurting the poor… and yourself. Has a real meritocracy feel to it that gave me the ick just reading the sleeve.

Humbling moments this week: being asked when my baby is due (I’m 50. Definitely not PG) and being led to the shampoo for dyed hair at Ulta (I’m naturally blonde). Sigh.

I dreamt last night that I had a 20 month old daughter. She turned to me with a mischievous grin and said, “RETRIBUTION.” And I was so proud. IRL, I have two grown daughters who are equally fierce in their own ways.

I made a split pea hummus inspired by a meal I tried on Saturday! It’s so good! I’ll post a recipe when I perfect it.

Happy Caturday! My baby was on a shelter’s kill list because he was “spicy.” Now he’s the snuggliest cat who has ever chosen me.

Struck up a conversation with a fellow book lover who convinced me that this is a must-read. Enjoying it so far! A reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from Jim’s perspective.

I try not to do annoying advocacy posts on my socials, but I make an exception for the national parks. This is a humorous video and I hope it helps raise support for the parks system, a true wonder among God’s creations and our most exceptional cultural export

So we’re playing the old “let’s silence the victims and protect the guilty” game. Again. Fuck the patriarchy. #epstein

When I took out student loans for grad school, no one explained the difference between a compound interest vs. a simple interest loan. My car loan? Simple. Student loans? Compounding. The hole keeps growing, making it almost impossible to pay off.

The Rich and Powerful consider the sick, poor, non-white, and elderly as parasites of humanity. My career centers around caring for these very people; the most vulnerable of society. So, by extension, my work is worthless in their eyes.
