We’re in car line and my youngest just took a poop 💩 Not cool little miss

I think this was my favorite photo from Vermont this weekend.

Marco Rubio is 53 years old. Whoever has his best interests at heart should tell him to resign.

We need MSNBC to know that viewers demand Joy Reid’s commentary and expertise. Add your name to the petition NOW! sign.moveon.org/petitions/br...

I don’t like Rubio at all, but expression speaks volume and unless he is poker facing this shit, he looks like he thinks everyone’s an asshole

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.” That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social. “There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.

What the heck is going on with @joy.msnbc.com ? Not cool @msnbc.com! Her reporting is structured, informative, and engaging.

My husband is such a sucker for a wall adapter. Especially ones made by #anker

I notice that neither the Republican FL senators #RickScott or #AshleyMoody have accounts here. Probably for the best. They’d like be lambasted daily. Rightly so.

who’s gonna do it, who will be the hero we needed

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

I’ve reached the portion of my life where non-fiction has become my go to read, over fiction. I seem to be fixated on history. I feel like I’ve been missing out.

Am super excited that I am going home (England) to see my mumsie.

Reached out to three government officials today. One took the time to write back to me. One… I felt heard. Thank you @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social

Cat in heat in the neighborhood. Wish it would find somewhere else to do its mating cry. 😐

🚨Sen. @warren.senate.gov on #ElonMusk and "DOGE": "This is the moment when we really start rallying the troops. People tell the stories. They do not want their personal data exposed to some unelected billionaire and a handful of people that he has picked out."

Pottery studios should offer times where you can pay to smash up some pots that were slated to be recycled anyway

I understand and acknowledge that media needs to make a profit however, @cnn.com asking me to spend $4 a month on a subscription service to be able to read some of their articles is such a turn-off.

I vacillate between e-reading and physical books and I'm never quite sure which I prefer more. I guess the key thing here is just reading more often and that's always a good thing.

Does anyone else watch @tastinghistory.bsky.social ? If you’re not and you enjoy food history, you should. Simply love this show (YouTube)

Thou shalt accept that DEI didn't hold your career back -- you're just mid, bro.

When the insomnia catches up with you and the only thing keeping me composed is a 6oz cup of coffee.

Happy MLK Day.

Today we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a better person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in."

When is too early to inquire with a breeder about adopting a puppy? I have a family vacation planned for spring, so the plan is to educate and be ready at the very least by the fall.

Why my cat needs to knead my boobs is beyond me. No they are not, nor will they ever be yours, my friend.

Let’s go @tampabaylightning.bsky.social

Slow Horse on @slowhorsesappletv.bsky.social is outstanding. Truly. Gary Oldman never ceases to entertain.

Did anyone else see Day of The Jackal? @nbcpeacock.bsky.social because I’m still salty about that ending, & need to process with people.

Dear universe…. I’d like to adopt a Australian cattle dog Thank you

Good morning, #bluesky. Probably the best representation of the beautiful stained glass inside of Sainte Chapelle that I had the pleasure of capturing. #photography #architecture #stainedglass #chapel #buildings #travel #paris #fr #fotografie #cities #history #gothic #art #cityphotography

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but one day you will pull a book from a bookshelf and that hidden door will finally open for you.

Don’t be glum about the long, cold winter. Look around: the trees are busy, not sleeping. When the temperature permits, cells in this bud are dividing, maturing into flowers, leaves, stems. The cambium, maker of all the trees, is preparing for its spring festivities. Be like a tree: keep growing.

Happy New Year! 🐍

Started playing Tamagotchi Adventure ….something or other. I feel like an aimless wonderer. I need a darn game guide.

Simply for the frogs

The problem with being an ex-pat living in the US. Spending an unnecessary amount of money at the British store.

I stared at my outlook app while it asked me which user I wanted to sign in as and was actively angry why it wasn’t loading. It’s just another Tuesday.

Guns are the leading cause of death of children and teens in the United States. I wish the establishment cared as much about their lives as they do CEOs.

A woman experiencing perimenopaus while raising two toddlers is no joke. However each day does feel like a sitcom.
