My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

AMAZING! A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director.
What a legend.
Remember Judge Hannah Dugan, who Trump arrested for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant leave her courthouse?
Welp, she’s fighting back and stating that she cannot be prosecuted for her official judicial acts, and cites Trump’s own immunity ruling from SCOTUS which protects government officials for actions taken in the official line of duty.
This is the fire with fire we needed all along. Love it.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” Hasn’t Passed — But Not for the Reasons You Might Hope
It’s important to understand why several GOP members opposed Trump’s proposed spending bill. It wasn’t because it lacked climate protections, humanitarian investments, or fiscal responsibility. It was because, in their view, it didn’t cut enough, especially from healthcare, climate programs, and other public services.
The problem wasn’t that the bill was too cruel. For them, it wasn’t fiscally cruel enough.
The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.
Oh and get the money out of politics

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

Pro tip: To grow your audience base, don’t just promote broadly on other social channels. Hone in on your target audience and post in the groups and forums where they gather for information and discussion. Targeted promotion will grow you following much more effectively than global promotion.

i think the hardest part about healing is realizing there’s no finish line. no big dramatic moment where everything feels suddenly better. it’s slower than that. it’s quieter. it’s choosing not to text them back. it’s making your bed on a heavy day. it’s being kind to yourself when your mind is cruel. healing is a thousand tiny victories no one else sees.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Came home from the 27 mile bike ride this afternoon and the 18 year old son single-handedly put in the window air conditioner.
I swear, in his lifetime, ithis s the first time he has shown any initiative and follow through, to do anything that resembles any type of manual labor without being pleaded, prodded or pushed by either me or my wife.
It’s amazing what getting used to creature comforts will do to a person.
My gosh…we passed 2,000 subscribers overnight. Either you’re all extremely loyal, or you’ve fully lost it. Either way—I’m honored.
Thank you for showing up. Thank you for following me here. Thank you for reminding The Woman that a formerly stray cancer-killing machine with strong opinions and questionable table manners still has pull.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get spiffed up for my checkup with Dr. Kenny—the only human I willingly allow to poke, prod, and praise me.
I’ll report back later…

On the drive to school this morning…
Papa: “Did I explain WHY dad is taking his big work trip today?”
Penelope: “No.”
Papa: “We’ll, it’s about his book. You know, the book he wrote that we’ve been reading at bedtime, Papa’s Coming Home?”
Twins: “Yeah?”
Papa: “We’ll, he’s traveling so he can go share the book with lots of people. He’s going to different cities all over the country to share the book! It’s called a book tour.”
Gus, worried: “But… but… will he bring it back?”

When You're Bored, You're Being Shaped.
Boredom isn’t the absence of stimulation. It’s a test. Of what you reach for. Of what you default to.
Do you grab your phone? Or a pen? Do you scroll? Or sit with your thoughts? Do you numb? Or build?
Because what you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.
Boredom is a doorway. To creativity. To clarity. To the things you keep avoiding.
Stop escaping it.
