Tonight, I was talking to my kids about attending the March for Science on 3/7 & starting to think about their signs. They still remember going to the march in 2017. My youngest shared, “I didn’t think we would need to march again”. Me neither kiddo but here we are. Pics from 2017. #marchforscience

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

We need your help💙🌊💙 200,000 signatures already done 💙 Need 11M for a strike to be successful #BlueCrew generalstrikeus.com?fbclid=IwZXh...

Nurses rely on sound science and evidence based practice. On March 7th, nurses can stand up for our research and healthcare institutions. Find your local rally information here standupforscience2025.org #standupforscience2025 #sciencenotsilence #scienceforall @standupforscience.bsky.social

Medicaid is vital. Many patients already lack safe discharge plans—too few caregiver hours, no help with meals, shopping, or meds. Those needing facilities wait weeks for a Medicaid bed while our ED overflows with patients needing admission. Cuts will make this worse, 🧵1/2

I love seeing this!

May I be the first to wish you a Happy Caterday. #catsofbluesky

Point Reyes National Seashore didn't have a feed! So I took a stab at creating my first feed: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Point Reyes National Seashore is brimming with wildlife! Every winter, we make a trip to see the elephant seals and get hot chocolate at the gift shop. Drake’s Beach, 1/1/2025 #pointreyes #nationalparks #elephantseals

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov, when will we see some of this resistance from you? I was expecting you to be loudly denouncing this administration at every turn, but instead, it's been crickets. I expected more from the mayor who I grew up watching legalize same-sex marriage in SF.

Dropped my youngest off at school after an appt. As he walked to class, the janitor asked what happened. My kid said he got braces, so the janitor asked to see them, cheered, & gave him a high-five. School funding isn’t just for education—it’s for lifting up kids & raising kind humans.

I have to do boring adult things today, but first, I redid the stickers on my Kindle. I’ve canceled all of my Amazon services, and I'm using Libby to access ebooks. #booksky

“Remarkably Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt was not what I expected, but it was an excellent multigenerational story about grief, love, and finding your place in the world. 4.5 🐙’s #booksky #remarkablybrightcreatures #shelbyvanpelt

I hope your day was as good as Buster’s.

A moment of calm: Capitol Reef National Park, October 2023. #capitolreef #nationalpark #nps

Time for kitty snuggles.

I see patients on Social Security & Medicaid daily. They already lack needed caregiver hours, face food insecurity, & can’t afford all their meds—leading to unsafe living conditions & hospital readmissions. These cuts will be cruel, leaving an already vulnerable population in hopeless situations.

A timeline cleanse, a break from doomscrolling, a moment of peace and calm. Lower Yosemite Falls after a snowy morning, 2/14/25. #yosemite #nps #nationalparks

I’ve had to do more research before making purchases, but I’ve been much more intentional with how I spend money, which has inadvertently also helped save money. I’m glad we gave up Amazon and Target.

You can still request tests delivered to your door for free: special.usps.com/testkits

I don’t think our employers should make us do our annual Ethics and Compliance training this year. The government says it’s ok to have big glaring conflicts of interest now 🤷🏻‍♀️.

We’ve never had garden flags before but now felt like a good time to get a couple.

I think he missed me while we were out of town. Now he's determined to spend all day helping me with homework ❤️🐾. #catsofbluesky

✨Magical✨ Swinging Bridge, Yosemite National Park, 2/14/25, Upper Yosemite Falls is hidden in the clouds. We woke up to the peaceful sound of snowfall. I’m so glad we went out to enjoy it because all the snow melted within a few hours. #yosemite #altnps #nps

We just got home after four amazing days in Yosemite. We experienced sun, rain, thunder & lightning, & snow! My kids became Junior Rangers; we hiked, had snowball fights, & played cards. We made wonderful memories. Our parks are a treasure & this breaks my heart: www.sfgate.com/california-p...

I love stopping at used bookstores when we travel. On our way back from Yosemite this afternoon, we stopped at Bookish Modesto. I've been following their journey since they started construction over a year ago, and it was so fun to finally see the store in person!

At dinner tonight, we talked about who we would cast for a Red Rising TV show. We realized we don't know very many young actors/actresses anymore. We did a great job casting all the older adults though. Also, our kids are total nerds, and I'm so proud.

I misplaced the book I was reading 😭. While looking for it I’m taking a detour with This Will Be Fun by E.B. Asher. One of my favorite booksellers at Barnes and Noble recommended it as a cozy read. It’s pretty funny so far! #booksky

White House bars AP reporter from Oval Office because of AP style policy on 'Gulf of America'. 😡 apnews.com/article/trum...

Google really updated their maps to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Random fact: If you have an iPhone, did you know that you don’t have to use Google as your default browser?
