Here’s what I firmly believe about climate catastrophes: the answer is never to place blame or to shrug and say certain people need to “just move.” There is no place that isn’t going to need help in some kind of a catastrophe.

marrying into another family is like starting a show that’s already been on for 20 seasons and you have a lot of notes on the characters that you’re never allowed to give

I updated to the most recent version of Word, and it's made copyedits a nightmare because it's auto deleting comments from the editor as I address them. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make that stop--and Googling is no help because of the AI bullshit. anyone know how to fix this?

the family movie night choice tonight must be A Room with a View, yes? (the gif is from Downton Abbey, I know. my choices were limited)

Exciting news this morning: Romancing the Vote was chosen as a Democracy Hero alongside some EXTRAORDINARY organizations doing incredible work. THANK YOU ALL! We did this together! www.msnbc.com/know-y...

‘I Am a Voter,’ ‘Morning Joe’ reveal this year’s inaugural cohort of Democracy Heroes’ 

The honorees are trailblazers, advocates, organizers and changemakers around the U.S. who are ensuring all marginalized voters have a seat in our democracy. 

Sometimes, I still hear my kids refer to "my mom" to a third party, and it takes me a beat to remember that's me. I'm the mom.

All Waffle Houses in Tallahassee are closing and if you're not from the southeast I cannot explain the sinking feeling of dread this causes. Like it's not a fun joke, it means people will die. Not because they can't get WH but because of the storm severity.

why does every bot that follows me have a profile pic resembling Paul Hollywood?

I'm weighing a copyedit, and I'd love to get your two cents. The original phrase is "the things she'd staked for him," and the copyeditor thought the use of staked (as in, wagered or bet) was too obscure. But "risk" (her suggestion) messes up the cadence of the line for me. What say you?
