Happy Thanksgiving! Thankful for my first married Thanksgiving with @kevinrudz.bsky.social, white wine, turkey, and sausage stuffing. In that order.

People can’t buy food to eat, but people have $6.2 million laying around for “art” that will rot in a week. But sure, we should give rich people more tax cuts…

Evening with Mother. ❤️❤️ #InaGarten

Seeing #InaGarten tonight, and when I tell you it’s just wine moms and gays….

It’s my family the cutest?

Have had #Anno1800 for about a year, and out of nowhere the past three days have been an obsession.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.” A no less vital admonition that deserves attn: STAND OUT “...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Yet again, disappointed.

Mia is excited about this #Bengals comeback. (So is her dad).

We need more #TransitOrientedDevelopment in Logan Square. My walk from the California stop home is full of single family houses that are obviously beyond cost prohibitiveness to bring to modern standards. We just need an equitable way to ensure that multi-generation families have a way to stay.

me watching Bluesky's user count grow by another million in a day hello and welcome to all 19M of you! 🥳

Just going to leave this here. #Politics #Elections

Oh, hi hubby ♥️

“Is liberalism finished? No, just beset and contested in new ways, and no longer a clear vanguard force in human history. Is the American age over? Almost certainly not, but if it continues, it will be as a New America of some kind…”

Mike Tyson can still win if the referee has the courage.

“We need a social vision that is as morally compelling as identity politics but does a better job of describing reality. We need a national narrative that points us to some ideal and gives each of us a noble role in pursuing it. That’s the gigantic cultural task that lies ahead.”

This. I’ve put books back down that had stiff spines and paper.
