- I don’t want to hear the excuses. My seventh graders could tell you it’s inappropriate, and if you make excuses, it doesn’t say much for your intellect or your sense of humanity. The “out of context” excuse won’t work either, because the rest of it is completely inappropriate as well.
- Also. No plumber.
- 24 hours later, and that ice is not water yet! That stuff was froooooozen! It’s not HOT in the bathroom, but the bucket is about 2 feet from the space heater.
- Looking for positives: Today, one of my girls yelled at me across the cafeteria, “Your fit is EATING! Clock it! 🤏 “ The fit eats because I do not! 🤪 Non-scale victories > numbers, at least today.

- Reposted by TamaraDonald Trump has been telling us that if he doesn't like the outcome of the elections he will seize ballots. He wants Republicans to take control of voting. He wants to take over elections in Democratic states. People should be concerned and we all need to be ready.
- I need to see some good news. I swear the Buddhist monks are the only thing keeping my hope alive.
- Currently trying to melt a bunch of ice slabs in a bucket in the warmest room in the house—the bathroom. Just in case we need to flush. I don’t like this simulation.
- Plumber was hoping to get here this afternoon. He has not. I’m cold and stressed out. Could it be worse, absolutely. But I’m still gonna whine.
- This is your reminder to keep a couple of these on hand.
- No word from plumber yet—hopefully in the morning. Drained water lines, turned off water heater, couple of space heaters running. Going to bed in pajamas and socks, and there’s a cat on top of my head. We can do this. 💪🏼

- Reposted by TamaraTo anyone tempted to celebrate Noem's big announcement that ICE will use body cams and that it will be expanded nationwide as funding is available... That's already been official ICE policy for over two years. www.ice.gov/news/release....
- Counted my chickens before they hatched. Another disaster. Busted pipe. Huge mess. Water to the house is off while we wait for the plumber. That means no heat, too.
- Two-hour delay tomorrow. Guess my little snowcation is coming to an end.
- @coppersorrel.bsky.social I can’t even blame this on anyone! Sean picked up the baked chips—the rest were all me. 😆😆

- University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme. dailyillini.com/news-stories...
- This is the kind of news I like to wake up to! 1.6 pounds to go to my first goal. Looks like a 🥩 🦀 🍤 🐟 dinner is in my weekend forecast! 🤞🏼

- The word “reset” as a noun gets on my damn nerves.
- The full moon from our kitchen window earlier this evening.
- Geeeeezus, what a day! All is well. House is warm, cats are cozy, the kid is back, and there’s no school tomorrow. ☺️
- No school again tomorrow. Came home from the store to cold radiators. Panicked. Texted the plumber. Then it fired up. The cats know what’s up.
- Reposted by TamaraThis is the same persona constructed around Musk, promoted as “the world’s smartest man”, whom we suspect is the front-facing figure & fall guy for powerful interests who use his companies to siphon taxpayer funds and influence policy. #3E #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinCoverUp #Epstein
- Epstein is shown as overconfident & frequently incorrect, calling himself one of the ten smartest people in the world while failing to answer basic questions, undermining the financial expert image used by VIPs to seek him out. #3E #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinCoverUp
- I had looked forward to getting groceries and chilling today. No pun intended. Instead I’ve been doing chores all day, there are no groceries, and I’ll probably have to go back to work tomorrow. 🤔 But the man child is on his way back after being walkabout for 9 days. 😀
- Oil delivery came quickly this morning. But then the boiler wouldn’t start…air trapped in the line. 🤞🏼 Plumber is here now. Waiting optimistically for a 10-minute/ $100 fix.
- Reposted by TamaraThe media is only part of the problem.
- Tempted to bitch and whine. Resisting that to the best of my ability. Considered driving 2 hours to see Walk of Peace monks today. Then said it was too cold. Then the oil ran out. The monks are walking in this, and I’m inside where it’s chilly. I should shut up. I sent bad juju out there.

- Really tired of getting kicked in the teeth. 😔
- I’ve been anxious about running out of heating oil—but y’know, I have generalized and situational anxiety about stupid shit, so I’ve been talking myself down. Anxiety is there for a reason.
- Me: “That candle smells really good!” Sean: “The WHAT is blinking?” Me:
- Just had an epiphany after an immigration discussion with a high school friend. He said the Constitution only applies to/protects American citizens. Uhmmmmm, no the hell it does not! This ignorance… we had the same fcking government teacher!! What the HELL.

- Reposted by TamaraThe march in Chicago has continued on past Trump Tower and is turning back south into downtown. The snow is coming down hard now. As it does, the column chants, "say it once and say it twice, we do not fuck with ICE"
- Reposted by TamaraElon attempts to explain away being all up in the Epstein files… Reminder: he knew Trump was all over them too, and he helped make him president
- Reposted by TamaraUTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??” Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔 Rights are gone under this regime. (From Somali Snaps: www.instagram.com/reel/DUKpzuS...)

- Reposted by TamaraLeading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year. Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.
- Reposted by TamaraIf you believe in American democracy, this is a very good time to stand up for the free press
- Reposted by TamaraThis new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012. Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.
