The older I get, the more I'm like let the kids have a snow day. Don't make people go out in the extreme cold. Let's stop letting capitalist profit first mindsets ruin our lives.

This. This makes sense.
My Plate was designed to provide a practical guide to Americans. Something this administration knows nothing about. 🧠🪱 has brought back the dumb-as-shit food pyramid.

Serious thing for folks to consider is, particularly for marginalized people, Grudges Are Self-Defense. What you may be interpreting as pettiness is probably closer aligned to "You have demonstrated you're not to be trusted." And knowing who REALLY has your back is more important that ever.
I feel in my bones that the wave has started to crash back in and Certain People/Companies who thought they were safe to abandon everyone they’d been pretending to care about will suddenly realize that those people have money/power and I, for one, will be holding a grudge until the end of time 💜

I just saw an article noting the lack of big buzzy bestsellers in 2025 and I have to say that it is entirely possible that is true but it also seems like the books people are reading are.....not the most literary, more escapist easy to digest.

Y'all, can we stop keeping reels that are two seconds long but have all of the actual content in the caption? You guys are driving me nuts listening to the same two seconds of music over and over while I read your five paragraph essay caption.

I can confidently say I want none of these things. I would rather have a bookshop gift card or a donation to the public library or you know, a raise.

You've been hit by a car and you're fading in and out. You ask the EMTs to price the ambulance ride. You get to the ER and tell the docs you'll need a price on each service before it's done. You get cancer so it's time to put treament out to competitive bid. I can keep going...
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

If you are a tea drinker, tell me your secrets for making tea for travel mugs. I swear the travel mug keeps it too warm and I never know when it's actually cool enough to drink.

Made some donations to local charities today for #GivingTuesday. If you can spare even a few bucks and love the arts, please share with your area arts nonprofits, libraries, community theatres. They're getting hit hard this year.
