Update: rotation indicated on radar nearby. We are in basement under a tornado warning.

My husband: It'll bounce over the sand dunes and go over us. (We are in Muskegon)

*Whispers*—- I’m open to queries until May 15th 👀

From our walk last night.

Successfully renewed my passport. This was my second attempt after waiting almost 2 hours last time. The clerk said they've been flooded with women applying for passports.

Recently, the Center for American Progress released a list of budget cuts made by the Trump administration and DOGE by congressional district. These aren’t just line items in a budget, they’re lifelines for Michiganders, and we won’t stand by while they’re being torn apart.

After putting off the final battle for months, roaming the countryside by horseback, finding new recipes, and numerous tedious sidequests—I finally finished TOTK. Reqs for a new adventure? #gaming #gamesky

Such a wild episode...

I recently stumbled upon "The Rehearsal." What IS this show? Oh my word!

How I arrived on Bluesky.

Lessons from the week: 1. Standing up to bullies works (Harvard) 2. Tweeting about illegal deportations doesn't work (most Democrats) 3. But, getting on a plane to see illegally deported constituents DOES work (Van Hollen)

Call your reps. Call them every week. Every day. Remind them: We’re watching. We expect action. They work for us!

My letter to the @theguardian.com on the META theft of our work. Will be in the physical paper tomorrow. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Quiz Bowl State Championship spectating is wild. These teens crushed questions about geography, politics, 16th-century opera & science—then get asked which character used lotion to get into leather pants & yelled “pivot” while moving a couch. Somehow I still walk away thinking I’m smarter than them.

I'm looking to connect with more Michigan #kidlit creators. If you are a: ✅ Michigander ✅ Children's book illustrator (PB, MG, YA) Comment below and I'll add you to my list. Thanks! #michigan #kidlit #illustrator
