Debated posting this, but I’m gonna lean all the way into my career crash out and take you all along on the journey with me. @jesskeys_ published an essay last week entitled “WTF am I doing with my life?” that found me at the perfect time and felt like a sign from the universe to put it all out there. Welcome to my new series: Millennial Mom in a Complete Career Crash Out.

Republicans in Indiana have the explicit goal of dismantling public education, despite their overtures to the contrary. If you’re voting YES on your district’s referendum, then you should also vote for Democrats in the midterms. #publiceducation #publicschools #schoolvouchers #indiana

Indiana Republican lawmakers are accepting money from anti-public school PACs while advancing policies that defund our public schools.

As districts across Indiana face growing financial challenges, Hoosiers deserve transparency about the campaign contributions lawmakers accept and accountability for the policies they pass.

The future of public education in Indiana is at stake. VOTE BLUE.

Campaign contributions were from Hoosiers for Quality Education, Hoosiers for Great Public Schools, and Stand for Children Indiana. taken in Indiana by @ellenbobellen

Some days it feels silly to carve pumpkins, visit the apple orchard, and do all the ✨fall magic✨ things with my kids while the news is heavy and groceries and gas cost too much. But seasonal living and being present with my boys feels necessary, not frivolous.

You can stay informed AND make memories. Midterms are 25 days away. I’ll be v0t1ng 💙, and I’ll be at the orchard too. If you’re also holding both, join me in my little corner of the internet. #seasonalliving #intentionalmotherhood #fallwithkids #indianamom #momlife

October 10, 2026 - listen, the news this week is atrocious and it’s by design. to overwhelm you, to make you feel powerless, to scare you into inaction. no doubt they are accelerating violent actions and rhetoric. but we know what needs to be done right now. instead of doomscrolling, pick something from the list. and if you feel like posting to socials, post something positive about democrats and negative about republicans. that’s it for the next 3.5 weeks. if you have very limited time, it would be better to check out of the news and social media all together and instead do something for a race. 🌸 keep going taken in USA by @ellenbobellen

The Head of Petroleum Analysis at Gas Buddy said prices were expected to hit $3.99/gal in Indiana today. I filled up in Indy this morning and can confirm regular unleaded was $3.99. by @ellenbobellen

October 8, 2026 - I screenshotted these threads from @ramit for two reasons. 1. It’s hard to follow what they’re doing because they are doing so many bad things at once, not because they’re not doing them. 2. We have less than one month to seriously put a slow down on this, and its important we spend are time practicing negative partisanship towards the republicans, who are all complicit this. Vibes matter. Good vibes for democrats, bad vibes for republicans. That’s it for the next month. Anything else is aiding and abetting them. taken in USA by @ellenbobellen
