Grateful everyday for @matthewcort.land's newsletter, which helps me speak clearly and with focus when talking to people about the issues or calling my reps. I am more effective at communicating my needs and priorities thanks to their hard work. It means so much.

"HHS reinstates more than 450 CDC employees fired in April reorganization, including childhood lead poisoning team"

Can someone please explain to me why the burden is always on the person who "is over sensitive" or "can't take a joke" or "should just ignore it" when they are being teased, And the burden is never on anyone else to maybe just...not be nasty? #MiddleSchoolSucks!

Today is clearly going to be A DAY. Bank issues, middle school nastiness, anxiety. Send flowers, cute animals, amazing food you've made or eaten!!

8 is coughing. He has a 5K that he's super excited for in 2 days and his birthday is coming up so please, please, please let it be nothing. (Since the start of covid I have a bit of a panic response to illness, I get full body waves of nausea each time I think about one of my kids being sick).

Hoping someone stands next to me feeding me a little bit of cheese next time I have to get a shot.

Best thing I've seen on the internet all day.

Sometimes I get obsessed with freshly bathed and washed dogs on Bluesky. I call that groomscrolling. (Go ahead and reply with a pic of your freshly groomed pup).

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekXforX Postcard of the Eiffel Tower, sent to my grandfather by his best friend Ray, with the US 4th infantry, from the liberation of Paris. Back reads: Souvenir. Picked this up on the triumphant march thru Paris (and I do mean thru!) C'est la guerre. Aug. 29, 1944.

It's been harder to avoid doomscrolling lately, but embroidering jellyfish is still a good way to wind down before bed. Here's my latest.

Dubai chocolate gelato - delicious chocolate with a layer of pistachio crushed in pistachio cream on top. Heaven.

Company's coming and I must get the house in order! Something lovely to start your Sunday...

In the early days there was very clear BSky culture reminding you to block people like that and just let them scream into a void. I still recommend block early and often. Don't platform people like that. Don't give them an audience.
