One day, all day, every day
Today…
is World Childrens Day. Or for some of us, all day, every day. All day. Every. day. Nooonstop. (Send help.)
is Transgender Day of Remembrance, #TransDayofRemembrance, or #TDoR if you’d like to say anything else in your tweet. (You’re really going to snark on a serious day? It’s very hard to stop, I’m like the scorpion in that old fable.)
we’re taking advantage of what I imagine will be one of the last really nice fall weekends and going camping. The kids could not be less enthusiastic. I could not be less concerned. Put your shoes on, this is happening.
