Some folks who saw my email signature commented on it, so I wanted to share. The US is the only developed nation w/o subsidized childcare. Adding it would increase our GDP over 1 trillion dollars. Not a handout — it’s a smart decision when facing a recession and labor shortages. – at Pittsburgh, PA

Hi friends! I realize this is not an airport, but I will be departing nonetheless. My handle is the same everywhere so I hope to see you somewhere else! It's been fun but it's done.

I think the most exhausting thing about having a lot of kids is when you say something to one of them, and the others don’t quite hear, and they say “WHAT? What!!!! wHaT?!?” And then you have to make sure everyone heard you say some inconsequential thing.

Driving my 11yo daughter and her four besties to a trampoline park last night while they belted @ChappellRoan with all the emotion in their entire bodies was such peak adolescence; major me-with-Mariah-Carey vibes.

It is time to do away with the electoral college. One vote should be one vote.

While swing state life is exciting (and stressful), I hate that my vote as a Pennsylvanian matters more. Not worried about my daughters’ rights with @JoshShapiroPA in office. I’m voting for the women whose vote doesn’t carry as much weight as mine.

A fire department near my Pittsburgh home recently bore a sign offering condolences for the senseless death of Corey Comperatore at a Trump rally this summer, about 30 minutes away. It now is advertising a gun bash where you can “win a gun per day.” Make it make sense.

My 6yo dressed up to go TO a haunted house.

“Donald Trump is an unserious man.” is my favorite Harris quote because I know it pissed him off so bad.

Standing at the confluence of our three rivers while the Gateway Clipper cruised by and the Pitt marching band drum line chanted, “Century Three Chevrolet, Lebanon Church Road Pittsburgh!” to the beat is about the closest thing I’ve had to a Yinzer religious experience.

Trying to find your bald, white, middle-aged husband, who is wearing a Pitt shirt, on the Northside today is like a game of Where’s Waldo.

“Thank you for letting me waste so much tape mom!”

Our three big kids are all with friends tonight, and we thought our 6yo would be bummed to be stuck at home with just mom and dad. Turns out she is *thrilled* to get us to herself and hasn’t stopped talking for two hours 🤣❤️

Told my middle schooler when he and his younger siblings are grown I’m going to get a job with Uber because I will miss driving endless loops around our town to drop people off. You can imagine the eye roll.

Influencers who refused to evacuate for views are literally taking away rescue effort resources from people who did not have the financial ability to evacuate.

You’re welcome, folks. We (The Liberals ™️) turned the hurricane dial down. Now, play nice or we will turn it up again.

I am super proud that my kids are so very committed to practicing their instruments but I also may die from it.
