The problem with me is that I absolutely cannot throw out a cute little glass jar like this. Will I ever put it to use? Probably not. But can I throw it away? Also no.

Eeeeeee!!!! Today marks a parenthood milestone that I've been waiting for since before my kids were born... 9yo and I are starting to read the Harry Potter series together!!!! (We don't condone the beliefs and shitty behavior of JKR, but we do still appreciate this series.)
Waking up to devastating news alerts nearly every morning is grinding my soul to a pulp.

“Why are people so mean these days??” So there’s this virus that damages the parts of the brain responsible for empathy and self-control,
Are you even a Midwesterner if you don’t have a dedicated cheese drawer in your fridge?
One of the reasons I wear a mask in public spaces 😇 I’ve dealt with relatively mild health issues in the past and it CONSUMES your life.
Bruh, no matter what you’re dealing with, once your health takes a hit, that becomes your only real problem. Never underestimate the value of good health.
PSA: If you have a fever, “laryngitis,” hoarseness, “the stomach bug,” or are otherwise ill in the middle of summer, you probably have Covid. A large new wave is underway. Everyone has forgotten summers used to bring much-needed disease reprieves, but those days are over now.
Contributing to my feelings of overstimulation and impending Menty B is a malfunctioning water pressure regulator on our street. It's causing some of our pipes to throb loudly, like a ticking clock. 🫠

One day you're hip and cool, the next you're arguing with your 5yo who is dressed as Luigi, using a Luigi voice, about how it's potty time.
I’m a Midwest girl. I LOVE to talk about the weather. It’s basically in our blood.
I’m tired of pretending talking about the weather isn’t fun.
My 74-year-old mom has severe long COVID. After her first infection years ago, she developed atrial fibrillation, respiratory problems, dizziness, severe fatigue, and various metabolic issues. She has seen dozens of doctors. She even had heart surgery that was completely…
This is just an attractive woman who aged like a normal person instead of desperately trying to look 30 at age 60.
Pamela Anderson, 58, appears unrecognizable from her Baywatch days as she goes makeup free while talking about beauty being “subjective.” “Everybody was so horrified when I decided I didn’t need a glam team for certain events…”
Out to grab an early grocery pickup. The amount of people I saw out jogging in visibly thick wildfire smoke is wild. Will never make sense to me.

All the “this isn’t how you get people to mask” rhetoric… Yeah? Well, ostracizing some of your biggest allies & advocates and barring them from attending events & community building because you refuse to do so safely isn’t how you do leftism and communal care. Soooo. 🤷♀️
