I am not made to be the passive audience member at an academic trivia competition. But good luck to the Mustangs in District Governor Cup today! (I'm on my phone so I don't blurt out answers!!!)

Fayette County School Board Chair re: Budget Workshop - we have "challenging economic times"...yet they chose to lower the taxes that bring income to our schools. Y'all have the power to correct some of these challenges, you just don't want to.

Hey #kyga25 folks - please make the call to 800-372-7181 and tell House State Government Committee to vote NO on HB 495. Suicide rates of youth who are subjected to so-called "conversion therapy" are twice as high as their peers. Lives literally are on the line.

Remote work is work. It isn't less valuable. In fact, the geographic diversity and economic impact of state jobs in Kentucky being remote or partially remote has been incredible. Limiting this is unreasonable.

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets. It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger. All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly. It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

Happy to be attending the virtual Regional Policy Council today by @mentalhealtham.bsky.social. Some amazing speakers lined up as well as awarding Gov JB Pritzker of Illinois for his work in mental health.

Not everyone is worth putting a bra on for. If you wouldn't put a bra on to head out to help someone in a non-emergency, don't engage in an online fight with them.

Coolest thing this week? Probably noticing the public art mural of a black jazz pianist on the top story of a building in Downtown Frankfort just as Etta May "At last...." starts playing on my phone. 🎵🎨 #kyga25

Reminder: "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion" often has "Accessibility" as part of it. They don't value you if you have a disability. They don't value you if you aren't exactly like them. The illegal things they are doing have very real, very serious consequences.

I don't care what RFK Jr says. If you need depression meds, there is no shame in taking them. Read the med inserts the first time, make sure you ask questions when you have them, and NEVER stop them suddenly. ALWAYS talk to your doc and/or a pharmacist about meds. #988 #MentalHealth

When your friend or family member or acquaintance shares they were let go unreasonably by this government, you can offer compassion or empathy. You do NOT invalidate their pain, try to tell them this is "normal" with a change in leadership, etc. Keep that shit to yourself. You're not helping.

It's a horrendous flu season. It's killing kids, it's killing adults. It's killing people who were perfectly healthy before and people who, like most Americans, have chronic illness. It costs NOTHING to keep existing resources available. Our government is spending money to make Americans sicker.

Between back to back sinus infections, an onset of some sort of virus that was similar to flu but didn't test that way (& we vaccinated), and now serious bronchitis ...I don't think I'll ever be able to even minutely take breathing for granted.

Talk to your kids about sports betting. Tell them about gambling addiction. About moderation. About it being ok to dream but not to sink money you don't have into things. About the reality of unpredictability related to sports stats. Be careful. Be mindful. Start the talks now.

Opened my door to get a package and an envelope off the front stoop, only to find this - I'm a newly minted Kentucky Colonel! Thanks @andybeshearky.bsky.social and Secretary Adams! (& It's drying out, don't panic folks.)

Well the flu has taken us out in my household, despite all the vaccines. It literally swept through all of our social circles. 😷 Wear a mask for 5 days after symptoms manifest. 🧼 Wash your hands. A lot. 💧Drink lots of water so you don't end up dehydrated ....

::takes note:: Probably not smart to social media while dealing with flu symptoms..... Fully vaxxed household dealing with mild symptoms, thankfully. But the autoimmune consequences are gonna be a bit extra I fear....
