He wrote "Mr. Mother Pence" in glitter gel pen over and over in bubble writing. Oh man I cackled so loudly reading this. I wish someone would make a meme of this. I am chuckling at these mental images 😂

Thank you, it was badly needed. I was down for the count with norovirus for a couple of days. I have been ok today (fx) but I need an adult. I noticed you hadn’t been around. Glad you are feeling better. ❤️ <3 <3

Apparently dehydration affects the brain lollllll No but for real I'm fine now. Luckily I made a batch of homemade chicken stock on Friday and that plus rest plus advil had me doing ok.

This feels like it should be parody but it's real life. 😕

I just had a like pre-interview with a recruiter for a job and she asked about me leaving the Us and why and if I REALLY plan to stay in Portugal long-term (a totally normal question here given that my name appears totally American at first). And i cited this statistic today and was like yeah, not going back.

I saw a graph yesterday that so much had been done to reduce car deaths that if you are under 50 or something (I don't remember exactly the age cut off) you are more likely to die from a gun than a car. Let me see if I can find it.
I hate it and I know there are people fighting the good fight, but I feel a bit powerless to make it stop. And I want off this ride!

I've been following this for multiple reasons and am curious what they'll say. I've been kind of flabbergasted that the student's IEP required a parent at school and that there was no parent that day. I am baffled by that.

byjove , a parent is required to attend school with the child? Woah Yes. That is what has been reported. I don't know if you can read the WaPo link I posted, but the child had threatened to "light her on fire and watch her die" previously and they had been tipped off the boy had a gun that day, but they didn't find it. So many levels of WOAH. The system failed everyone.

So many levels of WOAH. The system failed everyone. It’s so sad and awful all around. Agreed. I've been reading about the SI being outed and basically their return to school plan is metal detectors and clear backpacks, which is woefully inadequate and really misses the point. I've been thinking a lot about the what ifs- what would we do if our school of 900 ES kids decided to do metal detectors? I'm also having a lot of angst about MS and HS, now that MS is in sight. Our city is definitely grappling with the way forward right now. I don't know how DD1 is going to cope with daily fights, and should we ask her to? Am I doing enough as a parent to protect her if I send her to the environment? And at the same time, other parents I know and respect do, and what makes us different? Anyway, lots on my mind these days./ramble

One accidentally went off in class one day recently. The teachers at that school spoke out at the last school board meeting and they are scared. I just can't get on board with realizing there are guns in schools on a daily basis and how to live alongside that.

Is there any interest in a Murdaugh murder trial thread? It looks like a jury will be empaneled later today or tomorrow.

This thread is a summary of the press conference. Even if only a fraction of this is true, that lawsuit sounds more than justified.

Someone stole a "protect trans kids" sign from my yard overnight. Joke's on them though because I have another one and I made a donation to the LGBTQ charity in their honor.
