The Super Bowl ads this year were NOT IT. #sportsbetting #gambling #superbowlads
My daughter learned to run. My son fought another virus. My husband graded tests. And ICE killed another person today. This is what living in America feels like right now: joy, logistics, love, and the constant hum of state violence in the background. Read here:

As an outward and inward people-pleaser, a goal of mine this year is to DNF any books that I genuinely donβt jive with. My first DNF of the year is βGreat Big Beautiful Life.β
I was inspired by the new song βThe Handβ to write this reflection. I grew up learning that loud girls donβt get liked; Iβm not sure if that's any different today. Women walk an exhausting tightrope between being palatable and being authentic. Read on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/karenkle...

Quote from Karen: "I thought that if I agreed with everyone, diluted my real opinions, and tip-toed around my values, maybe people would like me more, that I could somehow ensure and control other peopleβs feeling towards me. I was willing to do anything to prevent being disliked, but I lost respect for myself in the process."

"It is scary to allow myself to lose people from my life. But what kind of life will I live if I am not really myself, hiding who I am from those closest to me? A life not worth living, I would gather." Read my latest Substack "The Courage To Be Disliked."
If you are speaking out about the death of Charlie Kirk, a White Christian Nationalist and Fascist, but have said nothing about the children being slaughtered in Gaza or about our own children in the US being killed in schools, you are a hypocrite, a bigot, and no friend of mine.
Quote from Karen: "I have sat with this rage that I felt back in those church pews for quite some time now, and itβs been brewing thicker. It lies right under the surface as I try to live my day to day life in the United States like nothing is awry. Like families arenβt being torn apart, like innocent people arenβt being thrown into concentration camps, like our country isnβt funding a genocide in Gaza, like people arenβt supporting a president who is a convicted sex offender."

Quote from Karen: "And while Iβve dreamt that my demeanor might some day resemble that of Marlene Dietrich, Sharon Stone, or Rosamund Pike, I have consistently exuded all the subtly of Miss Piggy for my entire life."

Feels like Iβm waking up on a snow day to see if my school gets the day off
Itβs increasingly unsettling sending my son off to school and my husband off to teach while living in America. Itβs an anxiety that never dissipates because the threat is always there and feels seemingly unpreventable.
