What is your favorite obscure Tears For Fears song and why is it Mother's Talk? Social worker by education, agnostic leaning towards atheist, mom, wife, Gen X, etc. etc. I like coffee, girly cocktails and 80's music

Oh thank God Nick ditched her ass

Omg did #Ali just say she would never "pawn her kids off to" daycare? So that's what women do who have to work and pay bills. Got it. So working mothers aren't real mothers #LoveIsBlind #LIB #AliandAnton what a tool

This is what I love about Austin. "Keep Austin Weird" is totally cliche, but it references the fact that Austin has always been a haven for ppl who refuse to conform & and who refuse to be anything other than themselves. It's in our history as a city #Austin #TurnTexasBlue #Texas #NoKings

I am always shocked when I hear people with privilege make comments that folks who are low income must be miserable. Like, oh poor them. It's dehumanizing. People, all people, are complex. Strengths and struggles. Resilience and vulnerability. How is this not clear?

Jordan seems like such a genuine good guy, I feel like Megan's going to fuck this up big time #LoveIsBlind

Pope Joan @vintageoatmeal1.bsky.social · 6d

Omg Earth to #Megan plenty of kids grow up in one bedroom apartments and they're just fine. Holy Jesus #LoveIsBlind #LIB

I will admit it took a minute for #JohnOliver to grow on me but his most recent episode of Last Week Tonight focused on #BariWeiss is outstanding and very infuriating. It's a must watch youtu.be/gieTx_P6INQ?...

Walking around the UT campus area we saw "abolish ICE" spray painted on the sidewalk and more than one rainbow flag on houses. Makes me feel slightly better about the world, I really hope this town can still be a blue oasis #Austin #ATX #Texas #TurnTexasBlue

Pope Joan @vintageoatmeal1.bsky.social · 8d

When I started getting a few gray hairs my kids (9 and 11) started to get upset because it means I am "old" and will die soon

Human Rights Watch rejects donations from Riyadh Comedy Festival comics share.google/o69Ayurei46K....

I totally get this. The point is not to have comics who performed for the money now try to turn around and donate so their public image won't take a hit. I'd reject their money too

Omgz I am heartbroken for #Patrick, he seems like such a genuine nice dude. WTF is #Anna 's problem exactly??? #loveisblind absolute bullshit #LIB

Pope Joan @vintageoatmeal1.bsky.social · 11d

Ugh feel a little bad for #Patrick, he shouldn't have to share his race or background with anyone unless it's his decision. He needs to steer clear of Mormon Barbie #loveisblind

After challenging someone who made a racist classist post on #nextdoor I have uninstalled the app from my phone. It's such a complete cesspool and I knew it but I still engaged. I need to make better life choices people

Oh for fucks sake. He was entirely motivated by greed and now he's acting like performing in a country that tortures people is some noble expression of free speech? He's so awful it's embarrassing. And I used to be a fan ugh
