A shooting at an ICE facility in Texas, Charlie Kirk killed in Utah, yet no calls to send the National Guard to those states. Just the blue ones Trump doesn’t like.

Because I live in Utah, my pharmacy requires me to have a prescription for being pregnant to qualify for a COVID shot. Had to scrape my OB’s eyebrows off the ceiling and get that paper. Sometimes you gotta push through and do the ridiculous to get vaccinated. #vaccinated #COVIDshot

In light of what happened, I watched some of Charlie Kirk’s videos to better understand him.
Now I’m so angry I want to drag him back to mortality and give him a stern lecture. Especially about his gross misconceptions of motherhood.

Thanks to my toddler’s toilet-flushing escapades, all the tile and carpet needs to be torn out and replaced in the second story of my house, right before I’m due to deliver a 10lb baby.
Anyone got some good news I can jive with?

When life feels heavy and especially emotionally fraught, I keep rediscovering the immense healing power of:

✨ drink some water
✨ get some sleep

In 1911, Nesen Bader was held at Ellis Island to determine if he’d be a drain on US resources (“LPC”). If so, he’d be deported. Luckily, he got to stay & later had a child: Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

“This tragedy could have been prevented with furniture.” (From Screaming Skull) 😂
“You spent your nickel, you’re done” (from the day at the fair episode)
Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?
Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

You’re going to get a lot of rejections and agents will ignore your emails and there will be naysayers around every corner and you’ll get 1-star reviews that are attacks instead of reviews. None of that matters. Keep going. Stay focused. Put in the work. Don’t quit. Go write.

Watched an episode of Gargoyles where Xanatos loses a judo match to his assistant, so he pulls a museum heist and dukes it out with Goliath in a robo-battle suit to feel make himself feel better.
Man, I love this show.

Have you noticed most book titles these days are “[royal title/object] + [creepy noun/adjective]”? Characters can have conflict without being royal or dark. Let’s get some variety, like “The Unsuspecting Socialists” or “Middle Class Conundrums.” #writing #booktitles

Lego Movie gets kids, Spiderverse gets teenage boys, and Kpop Demon Hunters gets teenage girls.

4 years of school, 20 months of unemployment, and 6 months contract work later, my husband is officially employed as a data analyst. I’m so proud of him for navigating the hellscape of the tech industry and not giving up. To everyone on a similar journey, hang in there. Your ship will come in. 🚢

New pet peeve: when shows/movies/books depict a pregnant woman resting flat on her back. Lay down with a five pound bowling ball on your stomach and see how much rest you get. Be kind, have your pregnant character lay on her side, preferably with a mountain of pillows. 🤪 #writing #pregnantcharacters
