Lehigh County in Pennsylvania is tired of ICE not paying the rent on their local field office, so they’ve officially evicted them! So, where’s all that taxpayers’ money going? DHS owes roughly $ 100K back rent!

One dog spilled my coffee all over a book while the other one said “I’ll see your coffee damage and raise you a pair of AirPods”, as he proceeded to eat my husband’s air pod pros…
It’s been a Monday.
Where are all of the “don’t tread on me” people now? Still defending the regime???
So many large, political TikTok creators love to say “TikTok is suppressing my content”…
This has become such a common statement, while their videos continue to have thousands of comments and hundreds of thousands of likes.
WE CAN SEE they are not.
Time for some good news and a check in! Come share yours! maewagner.substack.com/p/teatime-ma...
How the hell have we only been in this horrible year for one week?
My thoughts on the past 24 hours…https://maewagner.substack.com/p/here-we-are
Have a heartfelt piece about yesterday about to go live on Substack, only to now learn about ANOTHER mass shooting… does no one with power give a shit?
The majority of us find the Mara Lago “decor” tacky so why are we standing by while there’s talk of even more cultural icon buildings being remodeled in that “style”?
This sounds extraordinary!

These days, more than ever, it’s important that we stack our days will small luxuries that recharge us… maewagner.substack.com/p/luxuries
I don’t mean to brag but I walked in the door from vacation 90 minutes ago—half our laundry is done, most of the other unpacking is done, and it feels really good.
Let’s collect good things to balance out the bad! Here’s some of mine, what are yours? maewagner.substack.com/p/books-sunf...
I really need to grab my kindle from 2 feet away, but my cat is sleep on me. Anyone want to come help a girl out?
What is the equivalent of SA for men? (I’m not saying boys/men are never SAd) something that will make them see ignoring this issue, labeling women to erase their guilt, and rewriting laws in their favor is beyond deplorable…
And what if it is? Just because someone attacks an old woman distract from the bank robbery down town doesn’t me we don’t need to deal with the attack, attacker, and the victim. How do they think that permits silence?
I just wish some random dude would pop into my DMs, tell me I’m beautiful, and offer to send me 7k… oh wait—that happens 40 times a day on TikTok and also—I’ve never actually wished for that.
Go away…
Creativity in the hard seasons and why it’s essential! (and easier than we think!) maewagner.substack.com/p/how-do-we-...
I saw a TikTok and now I really just want a chocolate muffin
Having some major realizations about self-doubt these days, and it’s repeat visits by spiders (of all things) bringing me to my senses.
Lessons in self-love we all need!

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it??
Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙
