Sometimes I have a conversation with my mom and it really hits me how differently we view the world.

Spending $8 on Little Caesars and getting the crazy bread, or the McDonald's dollar menu. No happy meal or drinks of course because that's too expensive.
Every time I take my kids to MCDs I appreciate that I don't have to worry about what they order. Fuck this guy, he doesn't know what reality is.

The idea that poor people are bad with money is entirely a rich person's fantasy. They use it to feel smug and like poverty could NEVER happen to them because they know better! From 2009 to 2011 my grocery budget was $30 a week to feed two adults and a toddler. We splurged on payday sometimes by...

Poor people aren't good with money my ass, this motherfucker has no idea what he's talking about. When l was in dire poverty I knew exactly how much money I had down to the penny because not knowing meant I wouldn't pay rent on time. And not paying rent on time meant my son and I would be homeless..

Watching the new Contrapoints video and twenty minutes in I've got the quote of the video- "Christians, Feminists, Film Critics, the buzz kill trilogy."

This is just too fucking funny. Trump just buying people shoes out of nowhere based on his best guess of their foot size. Here is hoping Hegseths are way too small and he's just constantly suffering foot pain.

Ruthie B has taken to "burying" her no-hide treats in our bed to save for later. She tucks them in between pillows or under blankets. I took these pics and she immediately had to rehide her treats and is now yelling at me with indignant grumblings for disturbing the peace.

These two seem to have found each other early in their lives and that is amazing. I hope it works for them.

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo

β€œHistory was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”

It's a sad and cathartic read. You can see where his mind was when writing it (depressed), but he is vicious towards the American political system in it, more so than he was towards even Nixon. More than anything it is an example of how singular he was as a writer. Also, lots of football.

Hey, Rube! is one of the books that really escalated my journey into progressive politics. I can still remember exactly where I was when I read the last chapter.

That is not the one my brain offers. I want to love myself and see myself as beautiful and a good person, but I don't know if that will ever be in the cards for me. So in the meantime, I persist. All I can do is keep going. If you are also experiencing this, solidarity my friend.

I hear from my brain. I go to therapy regularly, take multiple meds, and keep my partner informed of where I am at when things get extra bad. Most of the time this is almost white noise, just my brain being a jerk. And I persist. But the toll it takes on me is so heavy. I wish I could find a way out

In very negative self talk. At this point, almost 10 years in, it feels automatic. I've come close to actually trying it only a couple times thankfully, but every day my brain says, you don't deserve to live, you are worthless, this existential pain is too much, I hate myself. Sometimes that is all

This week has been A Lot in both work and my personal life and I want to talk a bit about chronic suicidal ideation.
I live with multiple mental health issues and the most distressing one is chronic SI. Since about 2017 my days always involve wishing I was dead, actively hating myself and engaging

I relisten to a lot of podcasts in the background while I do my spreadsheets and one of my favorite things about @michaelhobbes.bsky.social podcasts is that there is so much laughter in most eps. Listening to him laugh with @yrfatfriend.bsky.social and @notalawyer.bsky.social is a legit mood lifter.

Right?! Nothing is ever easy. This works for all your friends? Not you! Have fun buying expensive products to find just the right mix to make your skin happy. Until they change the formula.

Finally playing catch-up for this year's Oscars.
OBAA-its fucking way too accurate when it comes to talking about having an almost adult.
Del Toro is consistently one of the best actors working today, but Leo is a good foil for him.
