I was told to make a Christmas wishlist for B's first Christmas, so I did. I tried to stick to "something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read."

Maybe help a broke mommy give her little NICU warrior a good first Christmas? It's been a really rough 6 months.

I figured out my Xmas decorations in the absence of a tree, because I can't magically make my apartment bigger. But there will be something.

My answer is the same every time someone asks this: the same thing I do now but with less stress.

I like captioning. I like providing that help to people, and also just the mechanics of doing it play nicely with my brain. But I'd probably do part time and try to stick to shows I *want* to work on.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

My bday is approaching so I'm kind of thinking back over this year, and...holy shit.

Since April: complicated pregnancy, emergency surgery, premature birth, NICU stay w/ nearly fatal infection, baby had hearing loss, oh wait he can hear now, back to work w/ no daycare so I do both at the same time.

I was thinking about families who will spend Xmas in the NICU and now I have to go cry about people I have never met.

My back really hurts today, but I ate some rolls and it feels a little better now. I have so many questions right now.

That time I went to adopt my cat and forgot to put on real shoes instead of slippers, and the shelter volunteers thought it was adorable instead of weird.
What's a charming memory you have from the worst period of the pandemic?

Time for my weekend part 2. I still got 4 days off, I just had to work one right in the middle. Boooooo
November 30, 2025 at 4:03 AM
This is from a year ago because I've been a little busy momming on hard mode this year, but I was also over 40 then too 🤷🏻‍♀️

It should be illegal to make me work a day smack in the middle of a 4 day weekend.

I really need to find some joy today. Hopefully it's hiding in a Christmas horror movie at work. We'll find out in about 20mins if there's one I can caption today, cross your fingers for me.

Got my office set back up. The desk looks like it will hold for now, and the monitor I dropped is also fine. So at least there's that, but today can still suck it.

Today just makes me feel like a failure in about five different ways. Bank account overdrawn, no money to shop for anything for the baby, I meant to get enough earrings made to reopen the shop in time for today and failed at that, still reeling from breaking my desk yesterday, all I do is cry...

B got his big boy chair today! I have mixed feelings about giving to him early and also about having spent the money, but he loves it so much and that makes me feel a little better about both

“Kill everybody” is by definition an illegal order, if you believe in rule of law. It’s an order for a massacre.

The order should have been to stop the shipment, if they believed drugs were on board, & that does not require loss of life necessarily.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Gov Walz is saying what we’ve been saying. If the president is this erratic, then the public deserves to know what is going on. Four simple words: show the MRI results.

If Trump is fine, prove it. If he isn’t, step aside.

Good morning to me, my bank account is overdrawn $25. Why is everything so freaking terrible for me this week?
November 28, 2025 at 7:17 PM
Yay, today is finally over. If I don't touch anything else, I can't break anything else.
November 28, 2025 at 9:08 AM
And then I dropped one of my monitors. FML and fuck this day. I won't know if it works until tomorrow when we hook everything back up. Cross your fingers for me.

Cosigned. Your life is finite, you 100% do not owe genuinely toxic family your time or your courtesy.
Finally had that big fight with a Trump supporting family member over the holiday? Struggling with how to move forward as a family after they've endorsed inhuman atrocities?
Well, if you're looking for permission, here it is: You can cut them off. You don't owe nazis anything.
