At the funeral of a friend’s husband who had died by suicide, she held me tight and whispered in my ear, “Don’t you do this.”
I’ve been fighting to live up to her words ever since.

My family’s (Mormon, Intermountain West) goulash is Kraft Mac and cheese plus ground beef, tomato sauce, and grated cheddar cheese.
I will defend American goulash to my dying breath. When I have no money but need a filling meal, American goulash is there. When it's cold out and I need something warm to fill my belly, American goulash is there. It is a tasty recipe born from the kitchens of immigrants!

DMBA is requiring everyone to have at least a $1000 deductible now. And eye exams aren’t covered unless you pay extra. And premiums are going up. One hundred. Fifty. Billion. Dollars.

Senator John Curtis (UT) must vote to convict Pete Hegseth if the House impeaches him this week. Curtis voted to confirm him, despite reservations, and that vote passed 51 to 50. Voting to convict is the bare minimum. Share this so he hears it. @SenJohnCurtis

So grateful for leaders like @LGHendersonUtah who work tirelessly (and at personal risk) to make sure Election Day goes smoothly.
Things I would have considered as a young Mormon mom.
I don't think this is stupid by any means (and good qualifiers), but it's interesting that this is always framed as "daycare costs most of her salary" and not "it costs [whatever] from our shared bucket of money" with no mention of the other sacrifices borne entirely by her: retirement savings, social security contributions, advancement, the downsides of a big resume gap
Even if everything else goes great (no divorce or financial abuse), those factors should be discussed thoroughly!

Hey @LGHendersonUtah This came in my daughter’s ballot. It’s her first time voting. Does she really need to send a photocopy of her ID?? And the votesearch.Utah.gov site isn’t working
Came back onto this hell site after four months just to say HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA @VoteTrevorLee
Just saw The Odyssey. It was incredible. So moving and meaningful.
And also adaptations are just that. ADAPTATIONS.
Anyway, 10/10.

I thought the Mormon Mafia is who you call when you need help moving, finding a job, or a meal train. 🤷♀️

Mediocre Mormon Man: “Huh?? That’s nothing I’ve ever experienced so it can’t be so!”
Me: “Here are some solid examples you might not have noticed bc of your privilege.”
MMM: “Haha you left the church dummy”

Christian Bale says he’s been building a village for 17 years
Interviewer: “so, how long have you been dreaming about this place?”
Christian Bale: “17 years, since my daughter was three years old”
“and i thought it would take a about two years to complete, which was obviously totally naive”
“but so worth it, it’s now 17 years… took a lot longer than expected”
“but we’re going to create and incredible home here for children, what better cause than that”
“so i’m totally happy that it took this long”
