The first one about cake made me laugh because I JUST pulled a 9x13 cinnamon coffee cake out of my oven two minutes before reading this, and I'm eating a large piece.
I would like to ban pretending to care about women's sports as an excuse to harass trans people and enable predators against teen girls.
I like to get in the practice of referring to my kids' classmates' "grownups." We have a bunch of ways to be a family, let's embrace all of them! (And stop making mother-types the default for communication, no matter who filled in the PTA response form for inclusion in the school directory...)
As someone who’s lived in three swing states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona) the last 8 years, I will name my imaginary first born child after your friend if he can get those texts to stop.
1. Using speaker phone mode or FaceTime in public. I don't want to hear even one end of your conversation. I certainly don't need to hear/see both!
2. Shrinkflation. Stop making the packages smaller (especially without telling me). Extra frustrating if you cook a lot.
3. Men making decisions about women's reproductive issues Or, really anyone that's not me and my doctor.
4. People bringing their dogs everywhere
5. Listening to music without headphones in the woods. I'm out here in nature, enjoying nature and I don't need to hear your rap music on a boombox that you're carrying while hiking.
6. Book bans
7. Paywalls for everything. I understand that news orgs need to stay afloat, but I can only subscribe to so many things
8. Saying "it's like buying 1 coffee a month" - if I subscribe to 10 channels/substacks, that's now $50
Marc Andreesen (who also funds this platform) said in an interview recently about attending a meeting with gov officials & how they stated their ultimate goal is privatization // government control & overseer of these social platforms, ultimately condensing into just 3 big ones.
Tiktok ban was never about stopping misinformation, it is and always will be about control ala what the US accuses china of doing.
Stores that stop selling seasonal merchandise DURING that season. It is January in Ohio. I should not have to look this hard for gloves and sleds when the high temperatures is now below freezing and will be for two more months.
1. Anyone in a position of authority who is convicted of sexual assault.
2. Felons being allowed to hold the office of president.
3. The assumption that everyone will and does pay $5 for a coffee or some other silly drink every day.
4. Talking on phones in public toilets.
5. Anyone who uses the excuse that we can’t use renewable energy because “solar doesn’t work when the sun doesn’t shine” (please read up!)
6. Plastics in so many forms.
7. Actually American public toilet concepts need to take some lessons from other countries. I might not care about the phone thing if I had a floor to ceiling door with no gaps. 🤷♀️
1. Childcare costing more than mortgage/rent,
2. People making laws on things they have 0 training in (I’m looking at you healthcare and education laws)
3. Tax exemptions for religious institutions
Mega churches for sure should be TAXED.
Valentine's Day decor coming out before Christmas Day. Return to the office 5 days a week - cut us some slack plz

Mine was a 9x13 tray of brownies with halva and tahini.
I’d like to ban telling folks they can be their authentic selves at and then giving them grief for being themselves.
Also politicians who say they are all about family and kids but who won’t pass meaningful gun laws.
Book bans…no thanks! Legal forms that list “father” and “mother.” Can we please update to parent or guardian?

They should have been required to film, edit and post a video with trending audio on TikTok before being able to ban it.
💀💀💀

Too late for my first born, but I’ll campaign for my future grandchildren’s names in honor.
💯 to all of these

I’d like to ban conspiracy theorists and science-deniers masquerading as health experts (yep, lookin’ at you, MAHA & co.).
Let's ban working on election day and make it easier for everyone to get to the polls, not harder. Also, stop calling spiralized vegetables noodles.
P.s. I now have 4 of those bras and I love them!
Trucknuts
Cyber trucks.

“Automated phone systems that never understand you (I don’t want screaming “REPRESENTATIVE!” to be a personality trait.)”
Forgive me, as my wife is a Wellesley woman, but this is a personality trait for y’all 😂
HAHAH

Yes! God forbid my snow shovel breaks while shoveling said snow and I have to go hunting for one at stores no longer selling them for the season.
Also an Ohioan and YES. Now is not the time for Easter basket stuffers, it's the time for road salt!
I call gender reveal parties, "genital reveal parties" and when you recognize that's what they truly are it's such a bizarre event to host.
