No amount of skipped lessons will make it possible for people to "opt out" of the reality that LGBTQI+ people exist. We are here. We have always existed and always will.

So happy my younger daughter was able to spend time w me & my hubby at the lake this past weekend. She is so beautiful both inside and out!

Sunset on the lake was gorgeous tonite. Even better was taking a skinny dip into the cool water surrounded by the orange glow.

Summertime! Just went for first SUP of summer & our peonies are blooming!

The local news at our Maine cottage is pretty refreshing - worth taking a break from my no news mandate. Stories included a K9 dog getting a donated safety vest, a summer solstice event to highlight challenges of homelessness, & the dog library at a local beach (it is stocked w sticks and balls)

The butterflies are having bf a hey day w our lilac blossoms - so good to have an abundance of pollinators.

Thankful for states, including VT, that protect trans youth’s right to exist, including gender-affirming care, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Here’s to running a successful campaign to unseat the PoS MTG!

#NoKings in Norway, ME today!

Flying into JFK from Spain, I got a notification from Verizon “welcome to Canada where talk, text and data are included in your plan…” If only it was true that New England was now part of Canada!

Check out Assigned Media founder Evan Urquhart in Teen Vogue today!

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year. Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally. I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data. Share widely.

Why another protest? What is it going to accomplish? Shouldn’t we be [insert alternate tactic] instead? These are good-faith questions, and they stem from very reasonable concerns. So let’s take a step back and talk about the role of a peaceful mass mobilization like No Kings.

Loving being out on the water in Cadiz, Spain. So much cooler than traipsing thru Seville in a heat wave.

Just realized that we got on the wrong train in Cordoba - this is going to Malaga vs the one we wanted to Seville. Next time we will ask more questions about train we’re getting on! We’ll be doing a little backtracking for next several hours…

Had an incredibly wonderful time at the Espana Gran Prix. So happy to see Leclerc on the podium too!

Having a lovely time in beautiful Barcelona prior to the Gran Prix.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

Got to enjoy the best lobster roll at Bob’s Clam Hut on our way to Boston!

Gorgeous day on the lake! So much blue sky.

Finally got to see a little sun on Memorial Day on the lake. Thinking of all our fallen heroes - may the sun shine in their honor.

NEWS: Sen. Ossoff and Sen. Mark Kelly reintroduced their Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act. Repost if you agree it's time to BAN stock trading by members of Congress.

So it’s like frigging mid-March here in VT. So glad we’re heading for sunny Spain next week.

🤣

Check out this weekly ritual to join in & make our voices heard.

A sobering and sad recap of the tragedy of Helene from the people who lived through it and lost family & friends.

Wonderful get away weekend w friends on the Cape. A little golf, strolls on the beach, yummy meals, lots of laughter & great times with an amazing group of friends.

Clouds are so cool - here’s one that looks like Big Bird’s head.
