I've had some wild swings of good to bad news all at once and I would really like to borrow Ron Burgundy's glass case of emotion to scream in.

My Friday afternoon take is that Olivia Rodrigo is a better lyricist than Taylor Swift. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

8yo: I'm going to unload the dishwasher by myself
*one minute passes*
8yo: mama will you help me?
*one minute passes*
8yo: I have no idea where anything goes although I have lived here all my life and nothing has moved
*dishwasher unloaded and ready for more*
8yo: I suddenly have to poop.

Why does JD Vance make it seem like Joy Reid is a visitor to this country rather than a citizen?? Why should a citizen of the "greatest country of the world" not expect to be treated well and have a good life?? Oh, right.

Misogynoir nonsense at its finest.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

It's a sad fact that people like to get defensive about but parents of babies/kids that don't sleep just have it harder. 🙃

"an incurious bigot whose only talent is sycophancy" is just 🤌

side note, if anyone ever called me "incurious" I would wither up faster than a raisin under a hot July sun in the Sahara.

Talia Lavin @swordsjew.bsky.social · 12d

she is an incurious bigot whose only talent is syncophancy, and i can only hope her fall is as meteoric as her rise, with an attendant crater at impact

The back story to this cartoon is even funnier. What an extraordinary woman and how fortunate we are as a planet to have had her with us for so long. ❤️

I am so sorry, that sounds awful. Be easy and kind to yourself. ❤️

My husband just informed me that there is a cybersecurity conference tonight that he'd signed up for without looking at the calendar and I looked it up and tonight's part of the (4 day) agenda is "Strengthening Connections in Cybersecurity" but only for non-Jews I guess because it's YOM KIPPUR. 😠

I have set higher expectations for my 11th graders this years and really upped the ante in terms of rigor and I can practically see the smoke coming out of their ears as they struggle and I AM SO PROUD OF THEM AND ALSO ME.
