I had a Canon DSLR back in the day (like, over a decade ago), but never tried a Nikon. So, thank you!

Gracias! I have a kiddo interested in photography and no clue where to start. He LOVES it, though, and I want to support his journey!

English Foodie Recs: I will be in England when I can eat regular food, again. So... what should my first meal after 6 weeks of healing be if I am in England? I’ve had decent fish and chips, good pasties, can’t go wrong with a jacket potato. But what do y’all think?

The pretense is always that learning about the history of racism will make (or is even MEANT to make) white kids feel guilty, which is just not how normal people react to things that happened before they were born. What they’re really afraid of is that it will make them feel outraged.

Call your rep today to encourage them to support AOC’s articles of impeachment. I will block anyone who tells me why they, personally, cannot and therefore why it’s pointless.

90 minutes out in the world with 3 kids was almost too much for me, but I survived. Took the kids to the Library event (Magic!), to get free snow cones at the Community Center, and to the Elementary School to register for classes. They are GREAT kids. I just have ZERO energy. Now, we rest. ❤️

Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.

"300,000... at the most" is a longstanding antisemitic conspiracy theory based upon a misreading of a 1979 Red Cross document that discusses 271,301 death certificates issued at 13 concentration camps. Nazi documents themselves show the vast majority killed were not issued death certificates.

i was just going to make a post about this. if trump decides you are an enemy of the state or a “threat to national security” and has you deported, citizenship or not, there’s nothing you can do to get home. he has full legal power to render you stateless.

I know I am recovering from a huge surgery, but I ache for productivity. I feel so unproductive and useless. But then I remember my sweet 9yo crawling into my arms after a nightmare—how I helped them calm. How they fell back asleep peacefully. I am NOT useless. That is just my anxiety talking. ❤️

After my Eldest went back to sleep at 7AM, I took my morning meds and waited for my nice 1-2 hour doze. Instead, I woke at NOON. Cheers to an amazing family who let me sleep. Now, I am SO behind on work, but very thankful I set my own hours, work from home, and have the BEST clients out there!

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

My Eldest had a nightmare. Poor dear came into my room and tired as I am, I cuddled them and held them while they wept, then talked to them until they calmed. And thought they are swiftly approaching 10, there are still moments they needs me. And I will always be there for them. ❤️
